Hello there,
Welcome back to WooWeekly—where ~20,000 WooCommerce builders come each week for actionable tips, sharp insights, and the occasional strong opinion.
Not much I can share on the personal side this week, but I’ll say this—I’m really glad I managed to come visit my family even though this is probably the busiest period I’ve had in a long time. With only 30 days to go until Checkout Summit, there’s still a lot to get done, but I’ll rely on my little helpers to get me over the finish (start?) line. April 23 is suddenly very close.
On the business side, I’m working on something I’ll be announcing exactly next week. If you’re into WooCommerce and curious about what’s coming next, keep an eye on this newsletter and social on April 1st. This one could matter more than usual—and getting in early might make a bigger difference than you expect.
Anyhow, here comes your weekly round-up of WooCommerce tips and tricks. Enjoy!

Are We Losing WooCommerce Merchants Because of WP Admin?
Between plugins, settings, menus, and random notifications, the WooCommerce backend can quickly turn into a place where you lose focus instead of getting things done.
This article takes a step back and looks at the bigger picture, and whether this growing “admin fatigue” could actually push store owners away.
It’s a bit of a reality check, but also an important conversation about where WooCommerce needs to improve.
