Well, we didn’t know whether it was possible to top the first WooConf, but team Woo managed to do it the week before last.

Fix yourself a taco with diablo sauce, mix a margarita, and join us for a trip down WooConf memory lane.

WooCommerce London September 2015 Recap
This Monday we had our September London WooCommerce meetup, hosted by Realex Payments. With Marina out of town, it was up to Elliot and myself to orchestrate everything.

We planned a Q&A session where those who came could ask questions, and we’d try to answer them using our collective knowledge about all the things: Paul and Alan from Realex about the nitty gritty of payments, Elliot about the business cases, and myself mostly about developer focused topics.
