WooCommerce Subscriptions Gifting is now available in the WooCommerce Marketplace. This is big news for both store owners and their customers! So let’s delve into what this is all about.
Cart Abandonment and WooCommerce
Imagine you are in a shopping center. You fill your shopping cart up with stuff; shampoo, a couple of birthday cards, a book. But then something happens—perhaps you are called away to an emergency—and you decide to abandon your shopping cart in the middle of the store.
While most people would only abandon their shopping cart in a physical store for a serious reason, in eCommerce, cart abandonment is quite common. The average cart abandonment rate for 2015 is 68%, according to the Baymard Institute.
Many factors are thought to cause cart abandonment. This post will focus on three of the things you can do to minimise the friction in your checkout process, as a WooCommerce store owner.

But are you so overwhelmed by the array of social media platforms out there that you feel a little “socially awkward?”
Never fear. Here’s the WooCommerce Social Cheat Sheet: just install the extensions, add your accounts and you will be a social (commerce) butterfly in no time.
