What's your struggle when developing with or extending WooCommerce?

Do you miss something from their documentation?

Did you know they have a useful Wiki on their Github repository?

I've listed a few of their Wiki docs in this thread. 🧵

When working with WooCommerce, you might need to query products.

For that, you can use wc_get_products or WC_Product_Query.

Check various examples: github.com/woocommerce/wo…

Another thing I do a lot is working with Orders.

To query them you can use wc_get_orders and WC_Order_Query

Examples: github.com/woocommerce/wo…

I can guarantee, that if you work on a custom plugin or customizing a client's WooCommerce site, you'll probably have to manipulate the My Account page.

Here are some useful snippets:

Maybe even more than the My Account Page, you'll have to customize Checkout, Cart or some other parts of WooCommerce.

That's done by overwriting their templates.

I added so many Settings fields and Tabs, I can't even count anymore.

Need to do the same?

The Wiki has got you covered: github.com/woocommerce/wo…

I work a lot around shipping methods, but I can't remember the last time I needed to write a custom one.

Nevertheless, it's good to know how a shipping method works. At least the core methods.

Working with Subscriptions? You may want to learn a bit about Payment Tokens.

WooCommerce has an API to work with tokens. You can learn how to retrieve them, use them and store new ones.

Another useful thing to learn, especially if working with Subscriptions. The Queue system!

They do not rely on the default WordPress CRON.

At @growdevelopment we work a lot with custom queries as well. For that, you need to know about WooCommerce Database Tables.

@growdevelopment There is a lot more on their Wiki, so check the right sidebar for more information such as Customer object data and similar.
