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—I usually avoid medicines (a habit from growing up as a doctor’s child), but give it another two days and I might surrender.
It’s been a busy stretch lately, and while I fully support the family-first mindset, I’ve been struggling to find time for deep work. I may need to fix that soon, maybe by working outside the house once a week or something like that. Lots to figure out.
On the business side, podcast invitations are popping up like spring flowers—I must be doing something right if so many people want to chat about Checkout Summit.
And since it’s November, it’s also sponsorship season. I’m sketching out some Black Friday offers to secure prime 2026 visibility on this newsletter and the Business Bloomer membership website. Oh, and planning for the Checkout Summit BF is underway—it’s shaping up to be a great one for Woo agencies and teams.
Anyhow, here’s your weekly round-up of WooCommerce tips and tricks. Enjoy!

WooCommerce Tips, Snippets & Tutorials
Here is a collection of posts to answer your biggest WooCommerce questions. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced store owner, these resources will help you optimize your WooCommerce store and grow your online business.
| WooCommerce: Get Orders Containing a Specific Product In this snippet, you’ll see a clean, efficient way to retrieve WooCommerce orders based on a product ID using wc_get_orders(). It’s fully compatible with HPOS, safe to use in any environment, and easy to adapt. [Business Bloomer] |
| Add Product-Specific Handling Fees to WooCommerce You need to charge extra for gift wrapping, fragile item protection, or custom packaging that costs you real money. But you’re a little worried. You don’t know whether to add them as a separate fee or just increase your shipping fee. [Studio Wombat] |
| 7 WooCommerce Cross-Sell Plugins Compared (2025) Studies show that cross-selling to customers can increase sales revenue by up to 30%. Yet many store owners still see steady sales but low order values because shoppers simply buy one item and leave. [IconicWP] |
| Setting up Video Content Restriction for Paying Members with WooCommerce Whether you’re running an online course, a coaching program, or a private community, embedded restricted video helps you connect more deeply and keep people engaged. [Kestrel] |
| [ICYMI] 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. That might work fine in most cases, but for many store owners, it’s more useful to have a consistent and logical sequence instead. [Business Bloomer] |
