For years, running my agency felt like trying to steer a ship in a storm. Too many tools. Too many tabs. Client info here, project notes there, invoices somewhere else. Every time I tried to simplify things, I’d test another software. Asana. ClickUp. Notion. Monday. Pipedrive.

Woo Client is getting hit with a pretty slick payment testing attack now... - Random order frequency - Random order times - Random products - Random IPs on each visit (even random VPNs!) But... I see patterns. There are always patterns. Whipping up a solution right quick...

Stripe announced yesterday, at Stripe Tour NYC, their plans for agentic commerce, and that includes working closely with us (Woo) to enable it for our merchants. It's coming! Keep an eye on our dev blog for more info 👀
