WooCommerce, by default, will change the WordPress display name for any given user to their First Name Last Name when that user makes a purchase through WooCommerce.

Revert Product Addons Display to 2.7.21 Behavior
Version 2.7.22 of Product Addons changed the way that addons are displayed. This was done because of an issue with variable products which have long variation descriptions not displaying properly.

This does tend to cause problems for example, if a […]

By default, the WooCommerce LightSpeed POS will use the item id from LightSpeed as the product sku on your WooCommerce shop. You may wish to use the custom SKU on LightSpeed instead.

Translate the WooCommerce Subscriptions “Sign Up Now” Button Text

WooCommerce provides a filter named woocommerce_product_add_to_cart_text which can be used to translate this text, however. Below is an example: […]
