Hello there,
Welcome back to WooWeekly—where ~20,000 WooCommerce builders come each week for actionable tips, sharp insights, and the occasional strong opinion.
Tomorrow I’m flying to London to speak at the local WordPress meetup. If you’re nearby, that’s your sign to leave the house and come say hi—it’s always better when these events turn into real conversations instead of just talks!
On a personal note, this trip is a bit special because I’ll be spending 24 hours on my own (which hasn’t happened in ages), then I’ll stop by Rome to see my parents for my dad’s birthday before heading back to Sicily and dedicating the weekend to family. A quick trip, but a meaningful one 🙂
Anyhow, here comes your weekly round-up of WooCommerce tips and tricks. Enjoy!

My Honest Take on WooCommerce Checkout Block Adoption
The WooCommerce checkout block has been around for a while now, yet most stores are still running the classic checkout. That got me curious.
After talking with clients, developers, and plugin authors, I started noticing a pattern: it’s all about timing, familiarity, and ecosystem… reality.
So I wrote up my honest take. From adoption trends to developer concerns to why new stores have a totally different experience than existing ones, there’s more nuance here than most people realize.
If you work with WooCommerce in any capacity, this is something you’ll want to understand sooner rather than later
