WooCommerce automatically created username problem

I’ve just spotted that when WooCommerce registers users by autocreating the username (and thus the nickname), sometimes randomly it uses all of the user’s email address in the username and nickname by setting the nickname to eg. first-lasthotmail-com. Most of the time it does the job properly but it’s actually quite a serious problem when using BuddyBoss because it leaks personal data since the nickname is pretty visible in BuddyBoss.

Has anyone else seen this and do you have better ideas of what to do about it? As a temporary measure I’ve had to turn off “When creating an account, automatically generate an account username for the customer based on their name, surname or email” so customers have to choose their own username. This is a little bit of friction I’d rather not have.

WooCommerce alternative to PPOM plugin?

I currently use PPOM for adding a text field into a product page for customers to specify how they want a dedication in a book. I have no complaints with this function. It just works.

But I have 2 issues with using it. Firstly my site is heavy, and I am on a mission to slim down unnecessary plugins and code that could be slowing things down. It has many more features than the simple one I need. Secondly I find ThemeIsle’s spammy ads in the back end product data panel annoying.

So I would love a slimmed down version, if it was available, and I would pay for it. Any suggestions?

How to re-order shipping options on the WooCommerce checkout?

I’m using the funnel kits plugin for the checkout page. I have tried different logics but none of them seem to work. We have 4 different shipping options.

Free shipping
Local Pickup
Standard Shipping
Express Shipping

The local pickup option is the first one that’s showing on the shipping options on checkout. I would like to make it the last option. People get confused thinking it’s a free option. So I would like to have it in the following order.

Free Shipping
Standard Shipping
Express Shipping
Local Pickup

All I would like to do is move the local pickup option to the last. Please help.

WooCommerce: “Inconsistent tax settings” Error

In a recent Business Bloomer Club Slack thread, several WooCommerce store owners reported seeing the dreaded “Inconsistent tax settings” error.

This issue often appears out of nowhere, leaving many unsure how to proceed, especially if the store has been running smoothly for months. If you’ve ever encountered it, you know it can halt checkout processes, prevent proper tax calculation, and even cause customer confusion. While WooCommerce generally handles taxes automatically when configured correctly, certain combinations of settings, plugin conflicts, or data inconsistencies can trigger this error.

Understanding why it happens and how to fix it is crucial to ensure your store continues to run smoothly, maintain compliance with tax regulations, and avoid frustrating your customers. In this article, we’ll break down the main causes of this error, walk you through troubleshooting steps, and provide actionable solutions you can implement immediately.

WooCommerce: anyone here experience with Metorik?

I was quite baffled to see that Metorik every 5 minutes pulls out the latest 8 hours of orders/coupons/customers/products. Does Metorik hurt performance? Any advice?

They have some articles around it: https://help.metorik.com/article/61-can-i-turn-off-metoriks-webhooks-that-are-set-up-for-my-store

WooCommerce: Deposit plugin with only 1 order?

I’ve tested a few deposit and balance plugins and they all seem to create an initial order for the Deposit, then a separate order for the Balance payment.

Does anyone know of a plugin that keeps all the payments in a single order?

I’m kind of thinking the answer is no due to the way payments are captured…. but am hoping there is!

In my case it is just for ease of the accountant reconciling – the products have a deposit and payment plan – so each product can have up to 6 orders to reconcile, which she is finding a nightmare.

How to set the coupon discount based on WooCommerce product category?

We need to create a coupon that will offer different discounts for each product category, something like what this plugin does: https://www.flycart.org/blog/wordpress/how-to-use-one-coupon-code-for-multiple-discounts-in-woocommerce

So what we need is to have a single coupon that offers the client:
– x% discount for the Product Category A
– y% discount for the Product Category B

This has to happen even when we have product from both categories in the cart.

If there are both cats in the cart then each cat has to have its own discount percentage applied. The module above manages to do that.

Is there a code snippet that can achieve this, or it’s better to go and by the plugin?

WooCommerce: How to Change Shop Page SEO Meta Title

By default, WooCommerce sets the Shop page as a dynamic archive, which can sometimes confuse store owners trying to customize its SEO appearance.

You might notice the meta title shows up as “Products Archive” in search engine previews or browser tabs—hardly ideal for branding or SEO.

The good news? If you’re using Yoast SEO, you don’t need to write custom code or mess with templates. WooCommerce assigns the Shop page to a regular WordPress page behind the scenes, and Yoast can detect this. That means you can simply edit the Shop page from the Pages menu in your WordPress dashboard, scroll down to the Yoast SEO section, and customize the meta title and description just like you would with any other page.

This gives you full control over how the Shop page appears in search results—no snippet or plugin required.
