Hello there,
Welcome back to WooWeekly! Every week, I curate tips and tutorials for you (and the other 19,879 subscribers!) to help you sharpen your WooCommerce skills.
Still battling this stubborn cough — in fact, I haven’t recorded videos for a few days. This week I’ve got three podcast recordings lined up (and I’ve only been on a podcast once or twice in the last 10 years, of course I HAD to get a cough now, right?). Honestly, I have no idea how my voice will sound… sorry in advance to anyone who has to edit these recordings!
Life is still running me around, so there’s little time for business — but the deadlines are helping! Checkout Summit’s call for sponsors closes on Oct 31, and I’ve already got three sponsors signed. Three more to go, with calls scheduled this week. Speaker, volunteer, underrepresented, and media applications are also closing this week, so last-minute applicants are coming in as usual. I’m hoping for a relaxing first week of November to review all of them.
Business Bloomer migration to Shoptimizer has slowed a bit since I had to focus elsewhere, but staging is almost done. Just need to verify a few things before going live (HPOS, removing 2–3 premium plugins, etc.). Also excited to speak at WordPress Day for Ecommerce — can’t wait to share insights on “The Snippet Mindset”!
Anyhow, here’s your weekly round-up of WooCommerce tips and tricks. Enjoy!

| WooCommerce: Sort Order Items by Name, SKU, Total, Quantity By default, WooCommerce displays order items in the same order customers added them to the cart.

| The Best Review Plugins for WooCommerce & Shopify (2025 Edition) While platforms like WooCommerce and Shopify have built-in review functionality, they’re limited compared to what’s available from purpose-built review apps. [CommerceGurus] |
