WooCommerce has released Storefront, which is an entirely free WooCommerce theme. And it’s fantastic. Lots of customers end up asking WooCommerce, “Which theme for WooCommerce should I use?” It’s a question we get at SkyVerge, and it’s one I get at Sell with WP frequently as well (which I also…

Here’s a tiny snippet based a question from Julie: How can I add a notice right below the WooCommerce featured image on the product page? It should say “click to enlarge” right below the image. There’s an action that you can use to add content below featured images, which can be used before or after product thumbnails. The woocommerce_product_thumbnail action is what will help us out. Let’s add a notice that says, “Click to Enlarge”…
Most of team SkyVerge spent the past week at the first WooCommerce Conference in San Francisco. It was a spectacular week of team fun and learning, and we capped it off with Max and Justin’s first conference presentation.

If you’re using the official WooCommerce iPhone app, you may have noticed that custom order statuses have their own icon when displayed in your order details: These handy little icons (designed by Jay Koster) can be added to your WooCommerce “Orders” page as well so they’re consistent throughout your shop and the app. Here’s a quick guide on how to add WooCommerce custom order status icons. You don’t have to be using the iPhone app…
Hey Everyone! We’ve released a minor update for the WooCommerce iPhone app that adds support for custom order statuses. If you’ve added your own order status to your store (maybe you even used Justin’s tutorial to do this), the app previously didn’t know how to handle this information. We’ve now added the ability to read custom order statuses, such as “Shipped” or “Awaiting Fulfillment” (provided that they’ve been created correctly), and each of these new…

Hi all! Some of you have asked us both here and at Sell with WP a bit about how to customize your WooCommerce emails. We did write about creating your own custom WooCommerce emails, but changing the look of your emails to blend in with your brand is an important part of your store’s communication.

Hey everyone! We’ve got a couple of updates and and a new release we’d love to tell you about. Updates First, we know a lot of non-coders out there like our free WooCommerce Customizer, which helps change some of the standard WooCommerce layout, buttons, and text.
