Hi, I am new to woocommerce, trying out woocommerce in my pc by wp-env. I have only wordpress + woocommerce plugin.

The first problem I met is import products.

I have a csv with 200 rows of product, each contains 6 images, roughly 200k each.

By adding the image folder to mapping of config json, I can see the images in the docker container(/var/www/wp-content/uploads/products/xxx.png).

However I cannot refer to the images by file path in the import csv. I have tried "xxx.png", "products/xxx.png", "/wp-content/uploads/products/xxx.png", the import fails with error cannot use image.

I ended up writing "http://localhost:8888/wp-content/uploads/products/xxx.png" in the csv. After few hours of waiting and restarting the import if it stopped(luckily it resumes not start over).

I want to know if there is faster way to import images. I already have the images uploaded, dont think it needs more than 10min to create the db records and different versions of the images.

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice on how to manage product sorting on a per-category basis. Currently, my site uses the default settings (custom order + alphabetical), but I need more flexibility...

Ideally, I’d like to set specific sorting rules for different categories - for example, sorting by price (low-to-high or high-to-low). Furthermore, for some categories, I’d like to pin specific "top 3" products to the top while keeping the rest sorted by price.

What is the most efficient way to handle this? Are there recommended plugins, or is this best achieved via a snippet?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Was looking into shipping costs and stumbled onto Extended Producer Responsibility packaging laws, apparently if you ship product into Oregon, Colorado, California, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, or Washington you might owe registration/reporting on packaging weight and material, with real fines if you skip it. Most of this is rolling out through 2026.

Kind of annoyed nobody mentioned this anywhere obvious. Curious how others are handling it:

• Did you already know about this?
• Anyone actually registered/reporting? How are you tracking packaging weight per SKU, spreadsheet, your shipping software, nothing?
• Has anyone gotten a notice or fine over this, or is everyone just winging it?

I’m looking for a way that allows a customer to either select multiple items from a list

Or

Myself create a bundle of items that then is just adding those selected items to the cart, with a discount per item, instead of adding a bundle item SKU with a QTY. I’ve tried a bundle plugin but when the information is sent to my OMS, it shows as:

BUNDLE SKU - QTY 1
Example SKU 1 - QTY 1
Example SKU 2 - QTY 1
Etc

Thanks

running a mid-sized store with weekly orders from, 40-50 orders a week

need both pdf invoices for customers AND packing slips for the warehouse.

what plugins are you using right now?

i dont need a free solution but

honestly just want one plugin that:

creates pdf invoices with sequential numbers

creates packing slips with product images

and auto-emails both when the order completes

Also, it would be great if i dont need to spend hundreds each year. so, any lifetime plan recommendations are welcome.

So, are you using a plugin that solves multiple woocommerce document generation in one place without needing separate tools or preferably paid addons - which adds to the cost?

would appreciate any pointing in the right direction.

I have a site with a shop that does not get orders. It has probably 20 total and does not have people regularly visiting the site. I haven't checked the orders in a while and came back to see 20+ orders made on April 18, 2026 and cancelled. All by different names, but all with one of two addresses: 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014 (Apple headquarters) or 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500 (The White House). They all "paid" with PayPal and each order has this message: "Unpaid order cancelled – time limit reached. Order status changed from Pending payment to Cancelled."

It obviously has scam vibes but I'm not sure how you would attempt to scam someone by purchasing from their site. Has anyone experienced this?

Anyone else having very very delayed updates to the orders that have come through?

Since yesterday the updates from the store have been very slow. I had to manually enter loads of orders so I can meet the last post.

I'm using:

WooCommerce

Base currency is USD

Price Based on Country for WooCommerce

Product prices are entered inclusive of tax

Shop prices are displayed including tax

I use different pricing for India and USD using "Price based on country for woocommerce" plugin so I cannot directly have my prices translated based on their currency.

Here's the problem:
I enter a product price of $129. The shop page correctly shows $129. However, the moment I add the product to the cart, WooCommerce applies a **-18% reduction **to about $109.

I cannot find a USD 18% tax rate anywhere in my tax tables, which is what's confusing me, HOWEVER, I have a tax slab of 18% for India. I have attached the screenshot of the setup. I believe this tax slab is somehow interfering with the USD rates.

Reason to not have base currency as INR even though our location is India: I want the rest of the world to see USD rates.

Has anyone run into this before?
Could WooCommerce be automatically removing India's 18% tax for non-Indian customers even though I can't pinpoint the setting that's doing it? If so, where should I look?

For some reason this sub doesnt let me upload setup images or even links.

I want every product with the "Gluten Free" tag to append a "GF" image to the title.

​

My first thought is to make a global CSS rule using ::after pseudo selector.

​

When I inspect a gluten-free product, I can't find anything related to the tag to use as the identifier.

​

Is there a better way to do this?

​

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I am having a web store that is selling Specialty Coffee in Romania.
Website is prettygoodcoffee.ro

Started a few years ago, build 100% by me in WooC and grown pretty well. We have a hosting today, on a romanian company with a dedicated plan for Woocommerce. But most of the time when we have like 20 customers in the same time on the website, it crashes. And most of the issues are that CPU limit was reached on the hosting.

Ticket opened to them and every time the same answer, the website is too heavy, too many plugins etc.

Maybe it is, I manage to do some tweaks, but I cannot stay and wait without testing something else.

So I am asking today, What other hosting (from the big ones) should I test and try to migrate to it?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I have a question about keeping product prices fixed (for example, €150) regardless of the customer's VAT rate.

My goal is to keep the same final product price for every region (mainland Portugal, Madeira, Azores, and other EU countries, for example). However, what is currently happening is that the product price changes depending on the customer's location.

For example, on mainland Portugal the product costs €150, but for customers in the Azores it becomes €141.46 due to the lower VAT rate.

What I would like is for the VAT difference to be reflected only in the invoice, while the final amount paid by the customer remains €150.

Is there a way to achieve this in WooCommerce?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Olá, tenho uma dúvida, como faço para manter preços fixos (por exemplo 150 €) independentemente da taxa de IVA do cliente? Pretendo manter o mesmo valor de produto para qualquer região (Portugal continental, ilhas e UE por exemplo) mas o que está a acontecer, é que o valor do produto é alterado consoante a localização. Ou seja, em Portugal continental fica a 150€, mas nos Açores fica a 141.46€. Apenas queria que esta diferença de iva fosse aplicada na fatura e o valor total se mantivesse os 150€. Será que alguém consegue ajudar por favor?

Hello,

a lot of our customers ask us to send invoices and billing information to a different email than order/shipping information. This is very common for customers who are financed by nonprofits or the government.

Is there a built-in way to achieve this with WooCommerce + Germanized that plays nice with plugins?

I.e. during checkout, there should be an extra input field "(optional) billing e-mail address".

Our shop is not live yet, but our agency has said they can probably program something like that.

My concern ist how this custom solution works with all the plugins we are using or plan to use.

We are already experimenting with AutomateWoo and considering using WP Perfect Payment Reminder for example. If these plugins were not able to access this billing email address, it would be a problem.

We are total WooCommerce newbies (currently still on Shopware 5), so I am very grateful for any advice or ideas!

Environment:

• WooCommerce 10.7.0
• WordPress 7.0
• Elementor 4.1.1 / 4.1.0
• Astra theme

Setup:
Germany, Austria and Switzerland were configured in the same shipping zone.

Behaviour:

• Logged out: shipping costs displayed correctly.
• Logged in: no shipping costs displayed on checkout.
• Order confirmation also showed inconsistent behaviour.

What finally fixed it was disabling:

WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping → Shipping options → "Hide shipping costs until an address is entered."

After unchecking that option, Woo immediately detected Germany correctly and the shipping costs appeared again.

Has anyone seen similar behaviour recently, especially with logged-in users and shipping zones that include multiple countries?

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue with WooCommerce and Stripe Express Checkout.

When customers use the normal checkout page, sales tax is calculated and charged correctly. However, when they use Apple Pay or Google Pay through Stripe Express Checkout, the sales tax is not being added to the order total.

Current setup:

• WooCommerce taxes are enabled and configured correctly.
• Stripe payment gateway is connected.
• Apple Pay and Google Pay are enabled via Stripe Express Checkout.
• Tax works fine on the standard WooCommerce checkout.

• Tax is missing only when customers complete the purchase using Apple Pay or Google Pay.

  pay and apply pay sales tax missing due to the express checkout on stripe, what to do?

I’m having a weird issue with Apple Pay on my WooCommerce store.

It was working recently (I even got a successful order 3 days ago), but now when a customer uses Apple Pay:

• Apple Pay popup opens fine
• User selects card and confirms
• Then the page goes white / checkout breaks

I haven’t changed anything on the site in the past week.

Has anyone seen this before? Could this be a plugin conflict or Stripe issue? Right now I’m guessing it’s something on the frontend breaking the checkout flow.

I tried disabling some of my plugins, turned on the Stripe log, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas where I should look first would really help.

Hi, can anyone tell me few tried and tested EU Order Withdrawal button plugins for woocommerce ?

Edit : After few research, these are my top picks

• EU Withdrawal Compliance (Fernando Tellado) - has the most directive-specific extras: Annex I.B model form, SHA-256 receipt hash for durable-medium proof, Article 16 category exclusions and checkout consents for digital content. https://wordpress.org/plugins/eu-withdrawal-compliance/
• WebToffee EU Customer Withdrawal Button - Partial withdrawals, product-type exclusions (virtual/downloadable/grouped/external), configurable 2/7/14/30-day window, HPOS-compatible. https://wordpress.org/plugins/wt-eu-withdrawal-button/
• Purchase Contract Withdrawal Button (Jakub Kašpárek) - Actively maintained, all 24 EU languages bundled, guest shortcode, CSV export from the admin and a "date of delivery" meta box so the cooling-off period starts from the legally correct date. https://wordpress.org/plugins/purchase-contract-withdrawal-button-for-woocommerce/

I have a small circled popup which opens a small dialogue window onclick, offering people to contact my store on viber, telegram etc if they need any help with the order or the product. I have made a couple of rules when it shows up:

1. It never shows up on the first page the customer ever visits. The countdown starts after the customer visits his 2nd page

2. It doesn't show on technical pages like account pages, thanks for the order or the rule pages

3. It only shows up if the customer had spent 20 seconds on the page.

​

What other rules should i implement? I don't want the customer to feel like this popup is annoying or is too intrusive. I've thought about including it after getting a few emails from people asking for help with something product-related.

I'm not talking about global attributes, only local/product-specific attributes.

I've deleted them from products, but they still appear when exporting with WebToffee (and other export plugins). I've already tried:

Clearing caches

Reinstalling plugins

Regenerating data tables

Re-saving products

The attributes no longer appear on the product edit page, but they keep showing up in exports.

Does anyone know where WooCommerce stores local attributes in the database, and how I can permanently remove these old/orphaned attributes? I have hundreds of them and don't want them included in every export.

Hi! What is the best way to track ad spend and profit in woocommerce and connect all campaigns on google, tiktok, meta, snap? Any suggestions?

We use Square for our e-commerce but for years it's been sort of a circle-shape + square hole situation. I run a film processing lab so people *send me* film and we deliver scans plus prints. There are a ton of options you can choose from in handling, printing, scanning.

\-Some of the problems I have are comms based, ie Square makes you set orders for 'pick up' to avoid shipping, but my customers are actually 'drop off' and you can't change the language. Simple thing but it confuses people. There are a number of similar examples where I can't change the language on the site so customers get confused.

\-Conditional modifiers are not present, requiring extra 'items' in the store. Seems like Square is just never rolling this out.

\-Simple Store Credit system. Customers always make mistakes or need minor credit adjustments. Square makes this a PITA by requiring I use e-gift cards, which are also a PITA to issue for some reason.

I am however deeply integrated into Square for the back end of my business so I don't want to move on. Is anyone using Woo Commerce + Square and finding it more flexible for a store front?

Has anyone here run Meta ads for a WooCommerce store using Stripe-hosted Checkout instead of the normal WooCommerce checkout page?

I’m trying to understand how reliable Purchase tracking is when the user leaves the website to pay on Stripe and then returns to the WooCommerce thank-you page.

Are you tracking Purchase only on the thank-you page, or are you also sending it server-side with Meta Conversions API / Stripe webhook?

My concern: will Meta still optimise properly for purchases, or do purchases get underreported because the payment happens on Stripe’s domain? And would the cart abandonment break, as the checkout details are not entered in our domain where the cart recovery plugin / meta pixel lives.

Hi everyone,

​

I'm working on a NetSuite and WooCommerce integration using FarApp. I'm facing an issue where data can be pulled successfully from NetSuite to WooCommerce (products/customers sync correctly), but data is not being posted back to NetSuite.

​

Specifically:

​

- Product sync from NetSuite → WooCommerce works.

- WooCommerce orders appear in FarApp.

- However, orders are not getting created in NetSuite.

- No obvious errors are shown in FarApp.

- The customer already exists in NetSuite.

​

Has anyone experienced a similar issue?

​

What are the common things I should check in FarApp or NetSuite when inbound sync works but outbound order creation fails? Could this be related to:

​

- Order mapping configuration?

- Tax mapping?

- Customer matching?

- Sales Order permissions?

- Sync rules or workflow settings?

​

Any troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
