Hi there, hope you're having a great Friday!
This is Colm and Simon from CommerceGurus, with a handpicked weekly roundup of eCommerce articles.
PixelYourSite lets you manage and track some of the most popular APIs including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Pinterest Tag, and any other universally compatible script.
In this post, we’ll take a close look at some of the key features of this robust pixel manager plugin.
PixelYourSite is particularly useful for WooCommerce store owners. It tracks traffic sources, UTMs, and landing pages for all your WooCommerce orders.
We’ll also show you how easy it is to configure on your WordPress or WooCommerce site.

WooCommerce Store Owners Combat Fraudulent Stripe Charges
WPTavern has picked up an interesting discussion happening on the Advanced WordPress Facebook group.
For the past few weeks, members have been discussing methods of combating Stripe Card Testing fraud.
Developer Jon Brown opened the topic after seeing fraudulent charges on five different websites.
“Each dispute costs $15 to resolve,” Brown said. “Each non-disputed refund costs $0.40 since Stripe keeps the fee. The incident cost him $3,600 - a huge number for a small store.
One possible solution, the Checkout Rate Limiter plugin, available on GitHub, offers checkout rate limiting on WooCommerce checkout based on IP address.
We also suggest Cleantalk which works by checking IP's against their anti-fraud database.

Black Friday Deals
No doubt you have already gotten dozens of Black Friday deals in your inbox so I won't publish a long list here.
Instead I'll highlight just two offers which may be worth your time.
CheckoutWC, which we recently reviewed, is available for 40% off until Wednesday, November 30th.
So that's $149 instead of $249. A decent saving.
WP Rocket has 30% off until November 26th (Saturday, so you'd need to be quick).
So a single website license for that plugin is just $34.30.
The addition of caching to WP_Query is one of the most significant performance improvements in WordPress 6.1.
Every time a visitor requests a web page, their browser has to make a request to the web server asking for information.
By implementing caching, the next time another visitor requests that same page, the page’s data would be retrieved from the website’s cache instead of retrieving data directly from the database.
This reduces the number of database queries and makes sites faster, especially when using persistent object caching like Redis or Memcached.

Rodolfo from Business Bloomer has written a handy tutorial which explains how to configure a custom WooCommerce shortcode.
WooCommerce shortcodes (see my post for lots of examples) are a really handy way to add selected products to posts or pages.
But the core shortcodes may be lacking a particular configuration you require, such as only displaying items which are in stock.
This solution pulls in a list of product IDs that are in stock, and then passes the result to the official [products] WooCommerce shortcode, so that we don’t reinvent the wheel.

The Component Gallery is a collection of components from the best Design Systems such as Microsoft, Adobe, and Github.
You can click on a component type, such as a "progress bar" or "modal" and see how each design system implemented a standardized solution.
If you're building complex pieces of functionality this is a great resource to bookmark and return to.
