WooCommerce Checkout Block Support in Twilio SMS Notifications

The latest update to our Twilio SMS Notifications extension—version 1.19.0—introduces support for WooCommerce’s block-based checkout experience. This update was several months in the making, so we wanted to take the opportunity to give a look into our development experience integrating with WooCommerce’s Checkout block. We’ll discuss the challenges we faced, the decisions that shaped this release, and look at the state of block extensibility in WooCommerce.

Automate WooCommerce Member Coupons with AutomateWoo

One question we’ve gotten a lot is how to give members or subscribers a periodic discount for products on your site, which is no easy feat to accomplish. Sites with subscriptions or memberships that entitle members to a set number of free or discounted products each month have difficulty creating this kind of system. WooCommerce Memberships can let you create “Member Discounts”, which essentially give your members a members-only price on your products. However, these…

A popular feature with WooCommerce Memberships is the ability to import and export members. While the default export includes membership data, you may want to include other data here as well. Modifying the export is possible, as there are hooks available to change the CSV output; we’ll go over a couple straight-forward examples in this guide.

How to Export WooCommerce Refunded Orders

When we discussed how to get all WooCommerce orders with a refund, we talked about why the “refunded” status isn’t a great way of tracking orders with a refund, as a partially-refunded order will not have that status. We put together a helper function to directly query refunds and return the associated order IDs for them. Now let’s talk about a good use-case for that helper: exporting refunded orders. This tutorial requires intermediate PHP and…

Moving WooCommerce Related Items to a Product Tab

Back in action this week with some tutorials scheduled! First up, we have an Ask SkyVerge question today from Rebecca: You’ve got a great article on how to move product upsells to a widget. But what about moving them to a tab? I’d love your ideas on how to make the tab disappear if there are no upsells. Definitely possible! By default, the upsells are shown on the product page below the product description: We…

WooCommerce Memberships: Add “View Subscription” Action to My Memberships

Here’s a quick question we’d gotten in a support thread: How can I add a link to “Cancel” a membership with it’s subscription to the “My Memberships” table? Unfortunately, adding a link to cancel both a membership + it’s associated subscription isn’t really straight-forward — this is why the “cancel” action is removed in the first place when a memberships is tied to a subscription. This way, cancelling the billing record is the only way…

Adding WooCommerce Memberships Restriction Notice Merge Tags

We got an interesting question this week from a developer: Is there a way to show Membership Plan Names in a “content restricted” notice instead of products to buy? In this case, the site wasn’t selling Memberships, but rather taking applications for them, so the plan names made more sense. This question can show us a couple interesting concepts today to look at: (1) creating a helper method to get plans that restrict a product,…

Repeating a Fixed Date Membership with WooCommerce Memberships

Howdy and happy new year, folks! The new year partly inspired this Memberships post, as an year cycle ends, and it’s likely that many of you Memberships users might have set up membership plans that are a year long. But how about plans that are set to start exactly on the 1st of January of any given year? Since fixed dates memberships were introduced in version 1.7.0 there is the possibility in WooCommerce Memberships to…

Automatically Link WooCommerce Orders at Customer Registration

We got an question from Rob in our comments section on our post about adding registration prompts to WooCommerce emails that makes for an interesting tutorial. To summary Rob’s question: How would you reconcile a previous order when a guest user registers? In other words: say I buy from your store and use my email (test@test.com) at checkout. I then get this lovely email with a registration prompt, so I go and register. The problem…

Get all WooCommerce Refunded orders

I ran into an interesting problem recently for a consulting project where the client needed to know what orders have had refunds processed in WooCommerce. While helping out with this problem, I found that there isn’t a great way to get all refunded orders at once, only to get refunds for a particular order. There are a couple ways you could approach this issue. Let’s start with the couple methods they’d tried first: Get all…
