Talking WooCommerce User Experience and More with Matty Cohen from Automattic - WP eCommerce Show
Originally from our series, Do the Woo.
Smoothing the on-boarding experience with a dynamic plugin like WooCommerce has its challenges, but the team is making considerable efforts with each update to do just that. Of course that isn’t the only focus, but the understanding behind the UI (user-interface) and making sure it works in the best possible way is truly a priority.
Join me as I chat with Matty Cohen, WooCommerce team lead at Automattic and he shares some great insights and strategies of how his team looks at the user experience. Not only will the shop owner learn of what makes WooCommerce tick, but there are some great tidbits in here for any developer who is working with WooCommerce.
We chatted about:
* If the focus on WooCommerce updates is about the UI (user interface), new features or what is under the hood.
* What are some of the biggest challenges he finds with on-boarding new users to WooCommerce.
* WooCommerce Connect, how people are responding to it and where we are at in this stage of the platform.
* How users reacted to the new “zones” options for shipping offered in the latest release.
* How some feel that WordPress hasn’t come out with any releases lately that have astounded them with new features and is WooCommerce leaning the same way with so much of the extra features provided in extensions.
And if you have questions for Matty, you can find him on Twitter @mattyza or contact WooCommerce here. Also, their Help Desk is a great place to ask questions, and if you have an idea for WooCommerce, they have you covered here.

Bob Dunn: Hey everyone. Welcome to Episode 26 of Do the Woo, a podcast for WooCommerce shop owners. Bob Dunn here, also known as BobWP on the Web. Today is a special day because I have my friend Matty Cohen, who is a WooCommerce Product Team Lead at Automattic. In fact, I believe Matty was one of the first people I connected with at Woo. Over the years, we’ve had some great conversations when we can, and he’s always been a big support for me and my Woo adventures. Hey Matty. A big Woo welcome to the show.
Matty Cohen: Hey Bob. Thanks for having me. It’s great to be here.
Bob Dunn: It’s long overdue. Well, it’s not long overdue. The podcast hasn’t been going that long, but definitely wanted to get you on here. Today we’re going to be talking with Matty about the UI of WooCommerce. Maybe more direct, the user experience when someone first starts using WooCommerce. It’s a powerful plugin and the challenge is to make the onboarding experience the best it can be.
But before we dive into this, I’d like to give a quick shout out to today’s sponsor, WP in One Month. If you learned WordPress and want to learn more, this is where you can level up your WordPress skills. WP in One Month partners with plugins and theme developers to offer free, live webinars and coming this fall, there will be online courses on how to create your own WordPress prod...
