In a recent Business Bloomer Club Slack thread, members shared their personal experiences with using AI in WooCommerce development.

Despite the increasing number of AI-powered tools, the consensus is that AI is currently most useful for small tasks, quick prototypes, and convenience-based coding assistance, while full-scale development remains firmly in the hands of experienced developers.

This conversation shows a practical, honest view of what’s working — and where AI still falls short — in real-world WooCommerce projects.

In a recent Business Bloomer Club Slack thread, the topic of AI-driven product discovery came up following a blog post by James Kemp that discussed how AI tools are beginning to influence the way online shoppers find products — and what that means for WooCommerce stores.

The thread quickly shifted to a broader discussion about the impact of tools like ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews, and how WooCommerce developers and shop owners can adapt by expanding their presence beyond their own websites.

Several useful resources were shared, and the tone was clear: ecommerce is evolving fast, and being ready for the shift means taking action now.

The discussion brought out a mix of strategic insights and technical recommendations. Below is a summary of the blog post that sparked the conversation, along with thoughts and ideas shared by Club members.

How I Ditched a WooCommerce Plugin for My Own Code

Premium WooCommerce plugins are great — until you realize you’re only using 10% of the features, while still loading all the code, dealing with updates, and paying for a license you don’t fully need.

That’s exactly what happened to me. One of my plugins was doing a job I could replicate with a few custom functions. So I decided to ditch it and replace it with my own code — lightweight, specific, and built just for my store.

But I didn’t just jump into coding blindly. I documented the whole process in a 3-part YouTube series, from scoping the replacement, to prompting an AI for help, to testing the final result on a dev store.

In this post, I’ll summarize the approach, share key takeaways from each step, and help you decide when it makes sense to build instead of buy — especially if you’re comfortable writing WooCommerce snippets.

20 ChatGPT Prompts for WooCommerce Merchants & Developers

As WooCommerce developers, we often bounce between documentation, GitHub issues, API references, support forums, changelogs, and tutorials. But what if we could cut through the noise and get straight to what we need — using smart AI prompts?

In this article, I’ve compiled 20 useful ChatGPT prompts, each tailored to a specific area of WooCommerce development.

Whether you’re digging into official docs, exploring REST APIs, or figuring out how to extend product types, each example gives you a URL, a prompt, and a specific outcome. These aren’t code snippets (although some prompts might output code) — they’re thinking tools to help you understand, decide, or act faster.

Use them to make sense of messy docs, draft custom code, or even summarize discussions from GitHub issues. Once you get the hang of these, you can start building your own AI workflows around WooCommerce development.

WooCommerce: How to Implement AI Translation

Reaching customers globally can increase your WooCommerce website sales.

Besides, because your WooCommerce website can now operate in several countries, this reduces dependence on a single market and the risks associated with economic downturns and changes in consumer behavior.

To reach customers globally throughout the world, it is necessary to have a WooCommerce website that is available in their native language, as a huge percentage of online customers prefer to purchase products that are accompanied by information presented in their language.

This means you have to create a multilingual WooCommerce website, and AI translation may help you get there faster.
