Hosting WooCommerce Stores with Unexpected High Traffic
What do you already know about hosting WooCommerce stores? When it comes to hosting WooCommerce stores, you may have already read some of my articles on choosing a WordPress host, or how to think about WooCommerce already. But maybe you haven't. Or maybe you read the super sharp article by Carl Alexander on using a...
Self-Service is the Name of the Game
A Guy Walks into a Fast-Food Joint… Sometime in the early 1990's I walked into a fast-food restaurant (Taco Bell) to see an ordering kiosk. This is long before we saw these kinds of touchscreens in fast-food chains (Taco Bell, McDonalds, etc.) in the last five years. It was a test back then. But it...
Enhancing WooCommerce (to work better with LearnDash)
Don't Let People Lie To You Today I heard about a LearnDash client who was told they should use a different LMS because it works better with WooCommerce. It was a ridiculous claim that was completely false and used broken logic to make the case. Suggesting that LearnDash doesn't work great with WooCommerce is insane...
Embracing Segmentation
What is Customer Segmentation? Customer segmentation is the opposite of treating everyone the same—which is how most companies that do mass marketing work. When I was growing up, everyone saw the same commercial for the same product and we all wanted the same things. In those days, communicating was expensive, and only available to the...
Using FluentCRM with Uncanny Automator
There are multiple WordPress CRM solutions out there (Autonami, Groundhogg, Jetpack CRM, and FluentCRM). The two I like for their visual automation platforms are Autonami and FluentCRM, and as you've seen lately, I've been digging deeper into FluentCRM. Today I worked on an automation where I was bringing FluentCRM with Uncanny Automator to make some...
Selling Courses with LearnDash and WooCommerce
It's the First Day of the New Year Did you rest and relax? I hope so. I did too, but I also have a goal to release three new mini-courses by Monday (and that doesn't include the course I created for WP101 on being a better blogger). So I was relaxing while doing the work...
Five Years of Product Development with Liquid Web
5 Years with Liquid Web This week marks five years of designing and building products for Liquid Web. It's crazy how fast five years have gone by, while at the same time, it's easy to feel like I've been with a hosting company forever. In case you missed it, a couple of months ago we...
Disable Repeat Purchases on WooCommerce
Can I Tell You a Story? I went to a website this last weekend - Black Friday Cyber Monday - and I bought a software license. One of those licenses that costs a good amount of money, but is worth it because they're offering a nice sale. Then I logged into \"My Account\" and what...
Automated Acceptance Testing for WooCommerce
How Do You Know Your WooCommerce Store Is Working? The merchant who sent me a text was confused and struggling. His store was still live (active) and wasn't offline. But orders weren't going thru. He was trying to figure out what was going on. And worse, it seemed like maybe it had been going on...
Food Ordering on WooCommerce
Not All Food Ordering Systems Work the Way I Like Can I be honest with you? I'm from California and I don't like Avocados. If you know me, you also know I'm not much for salads or vegetables. But I love Bacon. So when I go to order a BLT, I really want a BMT...
