The joys of learning things the hard way in business is that you don't usually forget the lesson. I have had a few of those painful journeys that I can still feel the pain of 15 years later. But I learned from them and that is what matters.
My most recent hard-knock-life lesson was that I forgot to go back to basics, simply because I use WooCommerce on my site as a payment portal. I had it in my mind that I needed to find a WooCommerce plugin to allow for installment payments. Even though PayPal is my credit card processor, I forgot they have valuable tools that I could still use. It didn't even to occur to me to see what has changed over the years from the simply "buy now" button they used to offer.
I just spent $189 on a WooCommerce plugin, that I could have created for FREE on PayPal with a simple button. My head, and checkbook, hurt right now. I will now be checking with PayPal, before WooCommerce, for any options I want to add to my site in the future.
