WooCommerce Admin v0.23.1

We are happy to announce the availability of a new build of the WooCommerce Admin feature plugin! If this is the first time you have heard about WooCommerce Admin, it is a new JavaScript-driven interface for managing your WooCommerce stores that is focusing on creating new and improved reports, and a dashboard to monitor all the important key metrics of your site.

You can download version v0.23.1 in the plugin repository or via GitHub right here. If you do test out the plugin, and have some feedback – please do open an issue in the GitHub repository, or reach out to us in the #core channel on WooCommerce slack.

Notable Changes

0.23.1 brings important terminology changes to revenue reporting. Several inaccuracies reported by the community prompted a look into how WooCommerce uses accounting terms, resulting in changes that align with industry standards.

• Recalculation of the term Gross Sales. Gross Sales is now simply the Sales Price times Quantity and does not include Refunds, Coupons, Taxes, or Shipping.
• Introduction of the term Total Sales. This number is actually included in the legacy reports, however, it’s incorrectly labeled as “Gross Sales”. Total Sales is Gross Sales as defined above – refunds – coupons + Taxes + Shipping.

For those you using WooCommerce Admin filters to create extensions, there are notable changes to filter names to take note of.

• Rename woocommerce_reports_ hook prefix with woocommerce_analytics_.
• Add woocommerce_navigation_ hook prefix.
• Update wc_admin_ hooks to woocommerce_admin_ or one of the above two prefixes.
• Standardize woocommerce_note_ prefix
