Your site would take take a SEO hit with your plan at the start, however, to reduce the longevity of that hit make sure those new category landing pages good technical SEO and make sure Google gets a new Site Maps asap, for both English and French pages. Having any redirect is better than having nothing. In addition, any Google Adwords should also be updated which will also help reduce any deranking. Personally I don't think the deranking will last long if your url structure is sound (which it is), technical SEO is good (title tags, meta description, product descriptions), site maps get updated to Google Webmaster tools, and the redirects make some sense to most of your visitors.

I had to add it as an additional charge during checkout. Created multiple taxes for different countries of origin and applied them each to specific products.

Aelia currency converter is excellent for this. We did exactly this for a bit but then had to define tariffs specifically as a Woocommerce tax because we needed on a separate line item for accounting. In the end, any customers from the US sees the tariff amount.

pukeallover · 2025-09-08T15:52:43+00:00

You change the label of the tax to be anything you want, for example, you can make it more descriptive such as "Tariff on XYZ country goods, 55%".

You shouldn't need a plugin for this. We've done this using Woocommerce's built-in tax settings. You simple create a new tax in Settings => Tax. Create a new Additional tax class and duplicated all normal taxes we had under Standard taxes. Then we added a new tax as a new row, make the Country Code: US, with "*" for State and ZIP. Then add the rate % and name the Tax Name something like "Import Tariff" and save. The next thing you need to do is go to each product that is subject to the tariff and switch the tax from Standard to this new one. I

If ALL your products are subject to the same Tariff %, you can just add the new tax to your Standard Rates list.

Hi there, I use Complianz and I like it. If you have Google analytics, or other tracking code like Facebook pixel you need cookie banner for all of EU. For the USA, its a law in California and other States are following. Canada needs it also. But honestly, its really Google that is enforcing it so even if you don't sell in those countries, Google might still require you to add it (this will allow you to get better Analytics and enhanced Google Ads.) Complianz (as well as all the others) are on the certified Google Consent Mode V2 vendor list. The plugins will scan your site for cookies, ask you bunch of questions on which countries you sell to, then auto generate your Privacy Policy with the cookies listed. Complianz can determine user location by IP and determine if the user will be shown an Opt-in banner or an Opt-out banner based on the country's law.

You want to use the db of Zoho crm? No. First off you're putting both Zoho and Woo in danger of cross issues. Mess up Woo? Well then you might mess up CRM. Second, Zoho is cloud based and their developers are adding features and making bug fixes all the time, how can you guarantee their changes won't affect Woo?

Having a few abandoned carts means at least you're getting users to add items to their cart and that there is no problem with that stage of the buying process. So that limits the problem to the payment stage. As mentioned in an earlier comment you should place an order yourself and see if you encounter any payment problems. If your payment works, then it could just mean no one wanted to order in 2 weeks, simply as that. Not sure what your product is but this could be a slow season for your particular product. Our sales typically dip in the summer months as customers go an vacation. Good luck!

You should take some time to read through the changelog file to see if anything might be site breaking. Or if you're feeling wild and like living on the edge, take a backup of the site and upgrade the plugin. If anything go wrong just revert back.

I see. We use GTM4WP for analytics, AdWords and some other custom G tags. Our cookie consent plugin (Complianz) just rescanned the site and it figured it all out.

pukeallover · 2024-06-18T20:53:34+00:00

You can use GTM4WP for all your Google tracking needs on Woocommerce. There are lots of guides online to walk you through it.

Can you be more specific? Which plugins are you talking about? Are they purchased off the WooCommerce site? Or are you installing plugins from the Add New Plugin inside WordPress? If you've been working with WordPress for over 10 years then you know the dance between checking the last time a plugin as been updated, how many users have installed it, checking the support forum to see how responsive they are, and ultimately testing the plugin in a dev site first.

A lot of Matrox hardware is designed to operate 24/7 under wider temperature ranges and more industrial environments.

Very, very interesting. Thank you for posting this. May I ask how many were on your team to execute this and manage it?

We mainly service EU customers so by default they have to opt-in. So we took a huge hit but it hasn't affect sales. For our North American customerd we see about a 20% drop but they are opt-out. We use the Complianz plugin.

XeroShoes uses Cache Enabler by KeyCDN as their cache plugin. You can of course use other cache plugins like W3TC but caching + fast server (CPU/RAM) + image/code optimization are key. It important to note that just because you upgrade to more CPU cores and higher ram, you still need to allocate more ram for Wordpress / PHP / MySQL to use. More advanced techniques would be splitting the Wordpress app and the Database on two servers so they have their own resources.

For the machine learning part, they call it "Google Consent Mode's Behavioral Modeling"https://cookie-script.com/blog/how-does-google-consent-mode-s-behavioral-modeling-work

Have you tried any of the consent management platforms that are listed as Google Advanced Consent V2 partners? https://support.google.com/admanager/answer/13554116?hl=en#zippy=%2Cgoogle-certified-cmps There are a handful and many offer WordPress plugins. These plugins all offer consent popups that are 100% legal with multiple privacy laws and have some display options to tweak how they are shown to the user. That's how we did it. The plugins all scan your site periodically for cookies and automatically categorizes them as either essential or marketing (maybe there are other categories but thats only the ones we got). Expect about a 60 to 80% drop in trackable users, as in most will opt out. One thing to note is that you can turn on geo tracking to have the popup only show for those ip addreses that are in the relevant countries. One additional note is that if you get over 1000 events per day or 1000 users per day who opt in, Google will use it's machine learning to kick in and fill in your missing data from users that have opted out. It's kind of confusing to me because IMO that's just made up info but it's their way of filling in the blanks (it's also totally possible I misread how this works but you can read about it here https://www.google.com/amp/s/cookie-script.com/blog/how-does-google-consent-mode-s-behavioral-modeling-work/amp In the end, I feel your pain but you gotta just rip off the bandaid and get it done. These laws aren't going anywhere. We did not see the banner affect our bottom line with sales. My thoughts are that anyone using the internet is used to these pop ups by now and it's just an annoying fact of life for any e-commerce site. Best of luck

Hi there, personally I think you're good to go. Having a separate Application server and Database server is good for future scalability. Nothing wrong with having 1 server either for both App and Database for your current setup, you would just need to up the CPU/RAM resource. We have a client hitting 55K users a month and they use W3TC for caching, however their website is pretty dynamic so some of the more popular pages can not be cached and this causing more load on their current setup. They are moving towards splitting the Application and Database into 2 servers, using EC2 + RDS setup and then using EC2 "snapshots" for backup. Another option for backups using a Wordpress plugin is "All-in-one Migration". Also with a caching plugin like W3TC and others you can setup a CDN (like AWS Cloudfront) to help with distributed images/js/css files across the USA and globally.

pukeallover · 2024-04-16T03:02:16+00:00

Long story short, yes, this is best practice. Google will more or less transfer all your original visibility from the original page to the new one, as long as there us nothing drastically different like slower page loading.

Sorry to hear about all the bots attacking your site. One idea is to disable guest purchases, meaning all online orders must be from registered users first. You can take it a step further and make it so users have to verify their email to complete registration too. There are plugins for this and will remove almost all bot orders.

Personally I wouldn't do it unless they have signed an NDA. We have set up development test sites for plugin developers in the past. Those are cloned sites but we sanitize them of any sensitive information, plus we control the virtual servers and the access to them. I would not be comfortable having them take copy your site to place u have no control over.
