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 whirlwind week — moving back to the city, juggling a kid at home before school starts, my wife’s exam and new job… and, yes, still racing to get CheckoutSummit.com fully ready to sell tickets.
Sept 18 is the hard deadline — the WooCommerce store must go live.
But on that same day, you can join me for a special, live, free behind-the-scenes session, where I’ll show you exactly how I built this WooCommerce website (and hopefully how I can run the business). Here’s what you’ll see:
- The trade-offs, mistakes, and behind-the-scenes moments that shaped the final result
- WooCommerce stack: theme, plugins, custom code
- Live attendees get first access to early bird tickets as they go on sale during the session
If you’ve ever wondered how to take a WooCommerce idea from zero to launch — and want the full story — this is your chance.
Anyhow, here’s your weekly round-up of WooCommerce tips and tricks. Enjoy!
