“Is there a plugin for that?” is the wrong question.

If you need to customize WooCommerce you should first ask yourself: “Is there a snippet for that?.

WooCommerce plugin is so well coded that it’s a shame not to take advantage of its flexibility. The answer to “Can this be done in WooCommerce?” should always be “Yes”.

It’s up to you whether you want to purchase, install, maintain, troubleshoot a whole WooCommerce plugin – OR you want to give coding a try and achieve the same result with a few lines of PHP.

So here comes CustomizeWoo to the rescue: a series of videos, screencasts, examples and exercises to feel more confident about child themes, hooks and CSS/PHP snippets.

FAQ

Questions, doubts, ideas about CustomizeWoo? Read this section or contact us below.

Will this work for someone who IS NOT a developer?

Absolutely. And if you find it impossible to understand, don’t forget you have lifetime access to the course. You can watch Module 1, spend some extra time learning HTML, CSS and PHP basics, and then move to the next modules in your own time.

Will this course continue to be updated? And will I get free access to future versions?

Yes! Once you are enrolled, all future versions are free at no cost. You get lifetime access to all current and future videos, including support.

I can’t afford this right now?

Feel free to enroll with the FREE version. However, could one extra WooCommerce client cover the entire cost of the course? Or, as a store owner, could this extra WooCommerce knowledge make you save $$$ in outsourcing costs and plugins? You and I know the answer to that 🙂

How much time will this take?

Great question! The course itself is being designed to go through in your own time. As far as implementation, that depends on your experience level, skills and how quickly you learn.

Wait, can’t I just search the internet for all this WooCommerce information for free?

Of course you can do that! This course is simply a faster and more organized way to learn Advanced WooCommerce. I’ve put together these videos and documentation to save you weeks of digging for what you need.

How does CustomizeWoo actually work?

Videos are released immediately upon purchase. No need to wait weeks before gaining access to the next modules! Videos are easy to follow, and each lesson comes with additional resources such as documentation, downloads, links to blogs and snippets. All the training is online and students can get unlimited support and lifetime access to these resources and any other resource that will be added in the future.

Do you offer discounts?

Scholarships, group discounts and giveaways are not currently provided. The course is promoted twice a year, usually at the end of November and May, when email subscribers enjoy special offers (discount or additional perks). If you want to join the newsletter, please click here
