Checkout Summit 2027

The independent in-person conference for WooCommerce founders

28 April - 1 May 2027 ☀ Palermo, Italy

Marketing as we knew it is dead. What’s next for WooCommerce builders?

You’re great at building WooCommerce products, plugins, services and stores… but marketing and sales feel boring, overwhelming, and definitely not your thing.

You’re lost doing the same old thing: build, write a post, share on social, wait, and hope for sales. But in today’s saturated market, that no longer works. Getting consistent customers feels harder than ever.

So, welcome to Checkout Summit 2027, the “Marketing & Sales Conference for WooCommerce Builders“.

4 days of honest conversations, case studies, practical strategies, and roundtable discussions with developers, merchants, and founders who actually get it.

My goal is simple: help you move past the confusion and build a clear, modern marketing and sales plan that fits your skills and actually works for your WooCommerce business.

If you’re tired of guessing and ready to finally make selling easier, I want you in the room.

The old playbook is dead.

Let’s figure out what’s next. Together.

Event venue checkout summit

Two days of actionable marketing & sales strategies, roundtables, and networking designed specifically for WooCommerce builders like you. Plus, lots of fun, food, and beach!

Practical, actionable insights from top WooCommerce experts to boost your daily performance.

Meet fellow WooCommerce pros, swap ideas, and grow your network. Have fun, too.
