Chrome now ships with a new Recorder panel built into their developer tools. When you start a recording, Chrome will start to record each action you take on the page—clicks, scrolling, navigation, and more.
An eCommerce site should absolutely be testing an add-to-cart flow to see what the experience is like.
The new WebPageTest Recorder extension lets you export flows from Chrome’s built-in recorder directly as WebPageTest Custom scripts.

Rodolfo from Business Bloomer is back with an interesting WooCommerce custom code snippet.
He looks at the WooCommerce checkout page and specifically at how to add an extra fee for non-continental US states.
In the sample code he checks for AK and HI - this is Alaska and Hawaii - and if present he adds a 5% surcharge.

I saw an interesting A/B test on Walmart this week where they added "Popular picks" badges to their single product pages.
Best-selling items would include badges such as "Popular pick for outdoor furniture".
These were added above the buy box. These were not clickable, nor were they shown on other pages (e.g. listing pages).
