WooCommerce 7.1 was released on November 8, 2022. This release should be backward compatible with the previous version. It contains:
- 185 commits from 37 contributors in WooCommerce Core
- 162 commits from 22 contributors in WooCommerce Blocks
As always, we recommend creating a backup of your site and making sure that your theme and any other plugins are compatible before updating. You can check out this update guide for more information.
Spotlight Tour for Products Task
The new product spotlight tour intends to help new store owners to create their products in a guided way. It filters out distractions and includes helpful texts to describe essential fields within the product form.
You can try out the new spotlight tour by going to WooCommerce > Home and then Add products > Start with a template from the setup task list. Select any template, and then click on Go.
WooCommerce Blocks
New Block Patterns
WooCommerce Blocks now come with 6 new header and footer patterns each. You can view the new patterns here:
Filter for place order button label
The Place Order button either shows Place Order or the payment method label, e.g. Proceed to PayPal. However, a merchant couldn’t change the button label. A merchant can now change the label using a JavaScript snippet.
Cross-Sells on Cart Block
Go to your product’s data and add “Cross-sells” products in the Linked Products section.
When your customers go to their cart, if they have already selected any item featuring cross-selling products, these will show up right there, ready to purchase!
New @wordpress/data stores
Much of the data previously kept in React Contexts was moved into WordPress data stores (@wordpress/data) to make it easier for third-party extensions to extend the functionality of the Cart and Checkout blocks. All changes are backward compatible, further information about this feature is available here.
