Hello there,
Welcome back to WooWeekly! Every week, I curate tips and tutorials for you (and the other 19,830 subscribers!) to help you sharpen your WooCommerce skills.
These last few days have been hectic, so my work schedule has been all over the place — maybe a little flexibility isn’t such a bad thing sometimes. I managed to take my kid to sports, shuttle him in and out of school, handle a dentist appointment, drive the family out on Friday, test drive a potential new car… and then catch a fever on Saturday. Watched my football team lose, worked on Sunday, and now this week looks just as packed. Honestly, I have no idea when I’ll find a proper block of time to get some work done.
On the business side, I’m keeping busy whenever I can and trying to stay productive. It’s the final rush for Checkout Summit speakers and sponsors before the October 31 deadline, I’m prepping upcoming Business Bloomer masterclasses, working on the website redesign and theme switch, and trying to close as many client projects as possible before the “real business start” — which for me is refocusing on Business Bloomer and getting ready for Checkout Summit 2026.
Anyhow, here’s your weekly round-up of WooCommerce tips and tricks. Enjoy!
