WooCommerce 10.3: Pre-release updates

Hey folks, on Monday, September 29, we kicked-off our Feature Freeze ahead of the release of WooCommerce 10.3. As we begin the testing phase, and get the release ready, we wanted to share some spoilers and document any updates to the expected release timeline. This is not a complete list of features, and may be updated throughout the release cycle. 

Check back here for more updates ahead of the WooCommerce 10.3 release, scheduled for October 22, 2025. 

What’s coming in 10.3

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) is in WooCommerce core.
COGS allows merchants to assess the true cost of each product sold, empowering them to calculate exact profit margins for every product and order, influence data-driven decisions, and track a store’s financial performance with greater precision. For more information, visit our deep-dive from earlier this year. #60847

Address autocomplete for Checkout blocks and shortcode.
Address autocomplete functionality for plugins has been implemented in WooCommerce checkout. To make use of address autocomplete, your store must have an “address provider” that searches for address results and then provides the checkout with a full address object.

Merchants that are using WooPayments and have an account in good-standing will be able to activate predictive address search from WooCommerce -> Settings -> General. For developers, we’ve created some documentation to help you get started with implementing an address provider. #60891 #60840

Product Collection Editor improvements.
We’ve now significantly reduced the number of requests for product data coming from the Product Collection block. This means the more Product Collection blocks you use and more products you display, the better the performance gain! We’ve also addressed an issue with “ghost” changes in the editor enabling the Save button or showing “Review changes” even when you hadn’t touched anything. #60828 #60863

PayPal API Upgrade and Express Checkout buttons.
The WooCommerce PayPal integration has been upgraded to use the PayPal Orders v2 API instead of the legacy PayPal Standard (WPS), offering a faster, more reliable and more secure checkout experience. It also introduces Express Checkout buttons (PayPal, Venmo, and Pay Later, where available), giving stores access to PayPal’s latest checkout features. #60578 #61034

Experimental/Beta Features

Add to Cart + Options block (Beta) will update product blocks based on the selected variation.
When using the Add to Cart + Options block, choosing a variation will automatically update related product blocks to display the variation data or adjust their behavior, like scrolling to the variation image in the Product Gallery block or hiding the Product Quantity block if the variation is sold individually.

The new WooCommerce MCP is available for testing in beta.
MCP enables AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or any other MCP-compatible client to interact directly with WooCommerce stores through a standardized protocol, opening up new possibilities for AI-assisted store management and development workflows. To learn more about this feature, and how to enable it, check out our call for testing and developer documentation. #60901

Experimental Feature: Clearing of Empty Sessions
WooCommerce 10.3 introduces experimental session management changes designed to improve site performance through better caching compatibility. These changes, centered around the new Clear Customer Sessions When Empty feature, automatically remove unnecessary session cookies that prevent effective page caching for non-logged-in users. #60855

Advisories

Decimal formats will now return as an empty string in 10.4
To increase consistency wc_format_decimal will now return an empty string starting with WooCommerce 10.3. If you’re a plugin author, please revise the usage of the function before the WooCommerce 10.4 release. #59368

Coupon discount calculation is reverted in 10.3
WooCommerce 10.3 reverts a coupon discount fix that caused unwanted recalculations when editing orders or changing status. #61091
