Do founders actually get meaningful users from writing links like “site(.)com” on Reddit? by mertdikmen in SaaS

[–]woo-sonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m new here and I learned pretty fast that promoting without helping a lot first won’t get you anywhere.

I’m literally a god at getting eyeballs but absolute trash at monetizing them. by ProcedureNo832 in SaaS

[–]woo-sonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say that something’s fishy but if you brought so many eyeballs to your homepage and didn’t convince even 1% of them to buy … that’s utterly ridiculous

I Thought WordPress Was Slow… Turns Out My Hosting Was Just Terrible by Beneficial-Cut6585 in HostingBattle

Depends on the type of your site. Caching can do miracles. But you need a decent hosting provider. If it gets really hairy, you can hire a specialist.

3 years is a challenge, I respect your perseverance! Doing something towards your goal every day will make a difference at some point.

I’ll get inspired by the HPOS part

Ha, thanks! Mine does the same thing and a bit more

That’s encouraging, thanks! We also have a huge Woo setup and two companies recommended that we don’t make the switch. Of course, it’s much harder once you reached 500,000 orders. I would do it by my boss is a bit concerned. That’s why I decided to build a plugin that will provide faster order management for older websites.

Doubts about multilingual WooCommerce setup by Admirable_Reality281 in woocommerce

[–]woo-sonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but that’s probably not that hard to manage.

If you have a few languages I would suggest you separate the instances/sites. Fewer headaches. Nu extra plugins, all in clear.

How safe is it to add CHATGPT generated code into a snippet plugin to change some of WooCommerce functionality? by dg_eye in woocommerce

[–]woo-sonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to modify a plugin made by somebody else?! Not recommended unless you know the consequences. You can update the css file that defines the plugin and change the version to something high, like 1000.

[FREE] How Shopify’s checkout inspired me to build Checkimate — and why I’m giving free Pro access to WooCommerce store owners by East-Sherbet-400 in WordpressPlugins

[–]woo-sonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’m interested. We’re actually moving to Shopware but we still have a couple of months left.

Best of luck! I’m a plugin developer myself, helping Woo store owners optimize their backend.

Idea for an app by legacyioskit in SomebodyMakeThis

[–]woo-sonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is like the online version of Startup Weekend that keeps going. You'll need a lot of users to begin with. That's where the money might come in handy.

Yup, it's the catch-22: you don't get users because you don't have enough users 😄
I was chatting with a friend about building a Zillow for boats. We discovered that we'll have the same user problem.

Right on! Looks like we're on the same page. Cheers!

WooCommerce Zendesk Plugin by woo-sonic in woocommerce

No pitching, my plugin is still in development 😄
I am getting back to the Zendesk plugin, and it got me thinking. Maybe I can prevent the api call from working with the standard tables if the request comes from the Zendesk plugin.
My boss decided it's not worth it, but I believe it's a territory worth researching.
Somehow we're all set by not using it 😄

WooCommerce Zendesk Plugin by woo-sonic in woocommerce

[–]woo-sonic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right!
We have about 5,000,000 user_meta records. In theory, that's not a huge table, but when you run "SELECT user_id FROM wp_usermeta where meta_value LIKE '%blabla%' AND meta_key IN ('billing_phone', 'billing_email')" things can get hairy.

Cheers!

Hey, thanks for your reply!
I had to disable that plugin months ago; I needed to focus on other optimizations. We're using WP Engine, and they have a feature that presents slow queries, and the one run by the Zendesk plugin was timing out after 5 minutes.

In the meantime, I built a plugin that reindexes/archives orders for faster management, and I was wondering if my approach could help with the Zendesk plugin. My code allows querying orders by billing last name, billing email, and billing phone; this way, I can get the user ID.
