Welcome back to WooWeekly—where ~20,000 WooCommerce builders come each week for actionable tips, sharp insights, and the occasional strong opinion.
Today is a big day for the WooCommerce community. I’ve been working hard for 8+ months to create Checkout Summit, and with just 50 days to go, this is probably the only time I’ll ever ask for your help. Please, read the “Community Is Still the Best WooCommerce Feature” piece below, and then see how you can contribute.
Anyhow, here comes your weekly round-up of WooCommerce tips and tricks. Enjoy!

Community Is Still the Best WooCommerce Feature
WooCommerce is flexible, open source, and customizable—but that alone doesn’t explain its success. What really makes it thrive is the community behind it.
For nearly 15 years, developers, freelancers, agencies, and merchants have shaped WooCommerce in public, sharing code, answering questions, writing tutorials, organizing events, and helping strangers—even at midnight on a Sunday.
Their efforts have done more than improve the software—they’ve driven it forward.
In my latest blog post, I reflect on why community is WooCommerce’s biggest strength and share a live case study showing exactly how humans, not features, make it unique.
