WooCommerce 8.6 Release

After a slight delay, WooCommerce 8.6 was released last week. An Order Attribution Tracking issue discovered in 8.5.2 prompted the delay so that a fix could be included in the 8.6 release. With 365 commits from 73 contributors, this latest version of WooCommerce introduces some slick new features and enhancements for merchants and developers.

– Easy to use: The software is designed with user-friendly interface for easy navigation.

– Advanced Security: The system utilizes state-of-the-art encryption for secure data handling.

– Customizable Options: Users can personalize settings according to their preferences.

– Regular Updates: The software is regularly updated with new features and improvements.

– 24/7 Customer Support: Our dedicated team provides round-the-clock assistance for any queries or issues.

WooCommerce 8.6 Update

WooCommerce 8.6 introduces a new ‘Styles’ area for the Product Details block with two options; Classic and Minimal. By default the Minimal style is selected on new installs with the Classic style being maintained to ensure compatibility with theme-based CSS customizations.

Product Collection Block Gains Six New Layouts

Introducing six new layouts to the product collection block!

– Grid: the classic layout, displaying products in a grid format.

– Carousel: products are showcased in a rotating carousel display.

– Masonry: a dynamic layout where products are arranged in a grid-like fashion.

– List: products are listed vertically with detailed information.

– Slider: products slide horizontally for easy browsing.

– Full-width: products expand across the entire width of the page.

“With these new layouts, you have more options to customize your product collection block and showcase your products in a way that best fits your store.“

Most impactful feature for merchants and marketers

Probably the most impactful feature for merchants and marketers is the introduction of six new layouts for the Product Collection block. Now merchants can select between New Arrivals, Top Rated, Best Selling, On Sale, Featured and Product Catalog.

New Layouts for Merchants

These new layouts can be combined, mixed and matched on a single page to respond better to the needs of merchants. For example, promote your new spring arrivals in a block above your winter sale items that leads into your complete product catalog.

Sales Column Added to Marketing Page

A new sales column has been added to the marketing page. This will provide a clearer picture of the sales data for the marketing team.

Please review the new column and familiarize yourself with the data it contains.

– The column includes information on sales figures for each product.

– It also shows the total sales for each region.

– The data is updated in real-time to provide the most accurate information.

Make sure to incorporate the new sales data into your marketing strategies moving forward. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please reach out to the sales team.

For merchants who are using WooCommerce to view and manage their marketing channels (i.e. Google Ad campaigns), a new column in the Sales card provides a quick look at how various campaigns are performing.

We are excited to announce that the developer updates for our latest project have been released!

Logging System Changes

Please be aware of the following updates to our logging system:

– All logs must now be submitted by 5pm each day.

– Failure to do so will result in a written warning.

– Regular audits will be conducted to ensure compliance.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Significant improvements have been made to the internal logging system in WooCommerce 8.6.

Merchants and developers now have an interface for browsing and viewing log entries that will improve debugging and auditing in the future.

Log File Browser

There is now a log file browser that lets users filter, sort, and manage log files. Users can now click individual log files and view them right within their WordPress dashboard. Search has also been improved to enable selecting a group of files to search within, filtering, sorting, and linking individual lines in files that contain the search term. Logs have also now been made fully exportable. Users can download individual files or in bulk via a zip file.

Legacy REST API Removal Notice

Please be aware that the company will be removing the legacy REST API by the end of the month.

“We kindly ask all users to transition to the new GraphQL API for future integrations.”

– Thank you for your cooperation.

As WooCommerce prepares for the removal of its legacy REST API in 9.0, merchants still using the legacy API will now see a notice of the upcoming change. Given the pace of releases, this means deprecation/removal is about 4 months away.

Simplified Customer History Calculation

Calculate the customer’s total purchase history by following these steps:

1. Add up the total amount spent on each visit.

2. Sum the amounts for all visits to get the final purchase history.

“This simplified method yields a quick and easy way to track customer spending.”

Order Attribution Tracking

With Order Attribution Tracking the main cause for the delay in releasing 8.6, a simplified customer history calculation was introduced to mitigate the risk of a calculation resulting in 500 errors (server errors) on larger shops.

Release Patches for Issues

Release Patches are important to fix bugs and security vulnerabilities in software. It is crucial to regularly update your software with the latest patches to ensure that your system is protected.

Here are some reasons why release patches are important:

– Security: Patches often address security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by hackers.

– Bug Fixes: Patches can fix bugs that cause software to malfunction or crash.

– Performance: Some patches can improve the performance of your software.

– Compliance: Staying up to date with patches can help your organization remain compliant with regulations and standards.

Remember: Always make sure to install the latest patches from trusted sources to keep your system secure.

Patch Update:

A patch was released earlier this week that fixes four issues identified with the release of 8.6. These issues were significant enough that this release was issued very quickly. Check out the details on the WooCommerce Developer blog.

Product Editor Enhancement

Finally, a small tweak to the new Product Editor was introduced, adding the ability to mark a product as Featured. Merchants using the new Product Editor can click an inline star icon in the title field. The new product editor is making steady progress as it reshapes the way merchants interact with WooCommerce in the product creation flow.

If you have not yet, now is a good time to give the new Product Editor a test drive to see what’s coming and how the interface of WooCommerce is changing.
