What’s new in 8.4.0?

WC Blocks feature – Product Collection: Add support for filtering products by featured status

These changes allow merchants to easily display only featured products in their product collections, enhancing flexibility.

Manage your subscriptions for Woo extensions from your store

Want to manage all your licences for Woo.com themes and extensions? WooCommerce 8.4 makes it easy. Go to WooCommerce > Extensions and click on the My subscriptions tab. You’ll see all your subscriptions to Woo.com products. Quickly install extensions on your store, renew expired subscriptions, view documentation and more!

Shipping Settings Refresh

There are new flows for adding Shipping Zone methods in Settings. The process of adding new Shipping Zone methods has been streamlined into a single flow rather than requiring merchants to add and configure methods in separate places.

There is also a new modal for adding and editing Shipping classes to match methods.

Virtual & Downloadable product support in the new product creation experience

The new product creation experience enabled under Settings > Advanced > Features, now has support for creating Virtual & Downloadable products.

A Downloads field is available in the General tab, allowing you to upload files or insert by URL:

For virtual products, a checkbox has been added in the Shipping tab to remove the need for shipping:
