Hello there,
Welcome back to WooWeekly! I’m glad you’re here for another round of WooCommerce insights. Every week, I curate tips and tutorials for you to help you sharpen your WooCommerce skills.
It’s been a full week of tennis tournaments for me — the more I play, the more I enjoy it. Age really is just a number; as long as I can hold a racket, I’m happy. Seeing 80-year-olds still hitting balls with a smile on their faces makes me love this sport even more. Soccer might have to take a back seat soon… maybe.
On the business side, I’m still stuck waiting to confirm a date for the 2026 Checkout Summit. Without a confirmed date I can’t move forward with anything else — not the website, ticket sales, venue, nor even the print materials. It’s frustrating, but I really hope this is the week everything unlocks. What’s wild is that 39 people have already joined the waiting list… and I haven’t even announced a date, location, or the ticket price!
Family life kept me busy lately, so I fell behind on work — but I’m planning to catch up this week, especially today. Lots of client work to finish, videos to record, and a few plugin releases I want to push out soon. My summer work rhythm is different — family comes first, sport second, and work third — but it actually works well for me. When I do sit down to work, I’m super productive.
Anyhow, here’s your weekly round-up of WooCommerce tips and tricks. Enjoy!
