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.
As correctly forecast, September kicked off with plenty of non-business business. Between driving around, dealing with the bill company, national exams and interviews for my wife, the school season starting in a couple of weeks, catching up with the last friends before heading back to the city, squeezing in some tennis, and finally getting the first rain in two months — it’s been full-on.
On the business side, I haven’t gone back to full time yet (that’ll happen from September 22, once everything else settles), so I’m sticking to the bare minimum for now. That said, I did shuffle things around: the Checkout Fields class is now rescheduled to September 30, while a new “behind the scenes” class about Checkout Summit is happening earlier, on September 18. You’ll find the links below if you’d like to book your free seat.
Finally, I haven’t done much video lately but I hope to catch up today, while also working on the last bits for the Checkout Summit website, which I’ve already shared a preview of on Twitter.
Anyhow, here’s your weekly round-up of WooCommerce tips and tricks. Enjoy!
