#RoadToCheckoutSummit −87⏳ Excited to share the first Checkout Summit 2026 speaker announcement today: Patrick Rauland @BFTrick was someone I followed back in the Woo days—I really admired his blog posts and content. Fast forward, and now he’s joining us at Checkout Summit! Patrick is the Sr. Ecommerce Engineer at Xero Shoes, helping grow their online presence and sales. He’s led three major WooCommerce releases, co-founded WooSesh, launched products on Kickstarter, and shares his knowledge via LinkedIn Learning and Packt. His talk: “An Apples-to-Apples Look at WooCommerce vs. Shopify After a Large-Scale Migration”, is going to be amazing. We’re talking millions of orders, customers, custom products, and bespoke flows—the kind of stuff that only comes from real, large-scale experience. Check out Patrick’s profile (and the other speakers) here: checkoutsummit.com/speakers/ I can’t wait to share the rest of the presentations over the coming weeks!

@rmelogli @Google @james_ozzie While I’ve not tested it w/ Woo - apparently it respects existing GA event tracking etc

@colmtroy @Google @james_ozzie Honestly I've never installed it. Is it compatibile with Woo + GA ecommerce features?

Doing some WP site maintenance work. Needed to rip out some old GA/GTM plugins that are no longer supported - it was the perfect opportunity to take @google Site Kit for a spin. One of the best plugin onboarding experiences in a long time. Kudos to @james_ozzie and team!

Experimenting with Claude Code + the new WordPress Agent Skills and having lots of fun. github.com/Automattic/age… nice work @jameswlepage I found the interactivity api skill particularly useful.

Great roundup on Shopify and WooCommerce in 2026 from @SRHDesign in newsletter.loopwp.com/p/issue-189-lo… I think Woo will find it increasingly hard to compete with Shopify in 2026 unless there's a radical change to how Woo is developed.

Calling all WooCommerce devs at #WCEU for an impromptu meetup! Meet at Track 3 for lunch at 13:15.

Did you catch this earlier? @colmtroy from @commercegurus has a long history in WordPress and has been doing WooCommerce since it's inception. @NonStopNewsUK and @annamradu had a great chat with him and learned a lot about his Woo builder story. dothewoo.io/early-days-of-…

@tunetheweb I spent 20 mins writing a far less elegant/accurate version of this last week to a customer :) i.imgur.com/RvlTzMJ.png

@colmtroy Ahhh thanks!
