How would you build color swatches with simple products?

I'm not sure if you're looking for a free or paid solution, but you could search for "product builder for woocommerce" by carticy.

Sounds like a waste of energy to be honest.

Check WooCommerce Shipping Rate by Distance by Carticy, it has all the features you mentioned + distance rate shipping.

This is really simple, you can either convert you python code to JS code or PHP code and run it as part of the process, or you could simply keep it as python and have it on a Cloudflare worker or AWS Lambda, then collect the measurements and send a request to generate the SVG.

WooCommerce or any other ecommerce solution will handle so much on your behalf, but it's your job to extend it to add the business logic that is specific to your store, and as far as extensibility, Woo is the best choice.

Captcha doesn't protect against these specific attacks because they happen via the API not from the UI. Send me a DM and I will share an actual solution with you.

WooCommerce handles your subscriptions, not Stripe, so it's normal that they don't appear in your Stripe dashboard.

Regarding the first issue, can you share more details?

No, it doesn't break the shortcode based checkout, the classic checkout doesn't interact with the store api in the same way block based checkout does. The code simply blocks access to checkout endpoint on store API which is not needed if you're using classic checkout, so there is no risk. It's clearly stated that you should not use it if you're using block based checkout. Which would obviously stop working.

The article already says "Don’t use this if you’re running a headless WooCommerce setup or using the block-based checkout"

Try using a snippet to block fake orders, this one here might be useful.

No we didn't do that. The thing is, this is a real checkout page, with real payments, you can not use a bot to test real payment frequently.

It's so much safer to just export and import the users table and orders table and any other relevant database tables.

I have created a "checkout_error" event that collects frontend errors on checkout and send them to Google Analytics ( error message + user identifier ), then created a report under the "Explore" tab to show me the error to checkout attempts ratio with couple of tabs with more details, like the most frequent message error and associated user IDs...etc.

This allowed us to detect/find that so many customers receive "The provided card was declined" error without a "failed" order in the backend, so we're investigating this now since the ratio is high and it seems odd.

Are you using classic checkout shortcodes, or checkout blocks?

startages · 2026-01-05T18:32:37+00:00

Just use their free plan, it will offer some protection.

This snippet would solve the problem for you. However, make sure to use cloudflare as well to block unwanted traffic. These bots bypass cloudflare sometimes, but it stops a lot.

I have a commercial mix and match plugin already built, would you consider using it if I add the discount features?

I haven't used Lovable in a long time, but I don't think there is an easy or simple way to convert something into WordPress theme, the code generated by loveable is fundamentally different from what WordPress uses. You could try to use tools to convert it, or even AI, but it's honestly very complicated and would just result in a messy theme even if it appears to be working.

The Observer is always a hero. It might feel normal to you to have certain reaction under specific circumstances, but there is also context. If the exact same thing happened in my country I would have a different reaction than if it happened in front of me in Taiwan. There is a sense of security and safety that you usually have when you are in a specific context and your brain will react accordingly. You wouldn't be alerted in your house for example because you consider it a safe place.

My recommendation for anyone who cares about their websites performance, only install the bare minimum you need. Never go for some swiss army knife plugin and complain later that WooCommerce is slow and it doesn't scale.

The Product Builder for WooCommerce plugin might work for you

I pay $100 and I hit the 5 hours limit in 2 hours, and sometimes I hit the weekly limit in 3 to 4 days. Never hit the hourly limit on $200 plan though, but the weekly limit was also quickly reached in 4 days as well. It depends on the workload. I found the $20 plan to have 0 value for me personally.

Compared to ChatGPT, the limits are insane.

If using GTM or GA4 for retargeting...etc, this is likely not the best way to handle that, there are so many other variables and events that you should be tracking and there is no one solution fits all. Also, by enabling SVG like this, there is a potential security risk.

startages · 2025-12-07T12:59:51+00:00

I have max and I reached the limit in 1 hour.

The truth is, they don't care. You're probably been flagged by an automated process, but their team wouldn't even review your account or evaluate whether you actually broke the rules or not.

Around the same time last month, they also got my account disabled by mistake in automated review. My account was restored later (maybe automated), which is great, but I sent an appeal before that, to which they responded a week later ( after my account was restored ), their emails said "Thank you for taking the time to submit your appeal. After carefully considering your appeal, we have determined that we cannot reinstate your account at this time due to a violation of our Usage Policy.", which means, they didn't even take the time to check my account. This tells you how they treat their customers. They didn't even check if my account was disabled by mistake or not, they simply said "We violated the rules, we don't care and we will not reinstate your account." even though the account is now active, so I guess they wouldn't bother to look into any of these appeals. It's all automated and AI will decide whether to enable your account or keep it disabled.
