In this talk, I will share an overview of the custom WooCommerce features we developed for a large Australia travel agency brand. These features now allow the brand to take direct bookings on the website, which has unlocked large amounts of new revenue for the business and saved 100s hours of manual effort. I believe this project can demonstrate the amazing flexibility of WordPress / WooCommerce compared to other platforms like Shopify.
