  • A new version of WooCommerce Blocks has been released! Version 9.1.0 is now available for download from GitHub and WordPress.org.

    This release includes the debut of Product Query powered Products block, a new set of patterns, alignment options for several blocks, and a bunch of bug fixes!

    Products block

    This release includes the first iteration of the Products Block.

    With this block, you can choose what criteria affect the list of blocks displayed to shoppers as well as control the layout of the products in the list/grid by the various element blocks.

    Developers, under the hood this is a variation of the WP Query Loop block so there is some built-in extensibility of this block.

    It’s labelled beta because we’re still polishing this but look forward to any feedback you can provide on the block.

    Patterns

    This release also includes 3 “commerce-adjacent” patterns for WooCommerce stores. “Commerce adjacent” means that the patterns are not connected to any WooCommerce data, which gives a bit more flexibility around what you link to, the images used etc. We are working on patterns connected to WooCommerce data too, stay tuned!

    Store Info Alternating Image and Text

    The “Store Info Alternating Image and Text” commerce adjacent pattern is a block that can be used as inspiration for merchants wanting to showcase some basic information about the store. In the example pattern some details about the types of products and the store itself.

    Screenshot with the Twenty Twenty Three theme and the “Whisper” style.

    Product Hero 2 Column 2 Row

    The “WooCommerce Product Hero 2 Column 2 Row” block pattern is a straightforward hero design that can be used by adding two attention-grabbing images, some custom product description text and customizing the button block to be linked to any page.

    Just Arrived full hero

    The “Just Arrived Full Hero” block pattern is also another straightforward hero design that can be used with an attention-grabber image some simple callout text, and a button block that can be linked to any page.

    How the block will look like to customers on Twenty Twenty Three theme and the “Whisper” style.

  • A new version of WooCommerce Blocks has been released! Version 8.9.1 is now available for download from GitHub and WordPress.org.

    This is a patch release that addresses the following:

    Bug fixes

    • Display correct block template when filtering by attribute. (7640)

  • WooCommerce 7.1.0 was released this past Tuesday, November 8. The release package included an inadvertent change that bumped the required PHP version to PHP 7.4. In the past, we’ve communicated in advance whenever we’ve modified the PHP requirement for WooCommerce, and it is our intention to continue doing so moving forward.

    We’ve updated the package, which can be downloaded directly from WordPress.org, to correct this issue. If you’re running PHP 7.2 or PHP 7.3, the updated package is now compatible with your PHP version.

    If you’re running PHP 7.4 or newer, no action is required on your part.

    While we’re currently continuing to support PHP 7.2 and up, we strongly urge you use PHP 8.0 or newer. PHP 7.4, while still receiving security updates, will only receive security support through November 28.

  • We are pleased to announce the release of WooCommerce 7.1. This release should be backward compatible with the previous version.

    This release contains:

    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.

    What’s new in 7.1?

    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:

    Woo Minimal Header | Dark
    Woo Footer with 2 Menus | Dark

    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.

    Snippet
    const label = () => 'Pay now';

const { __experimentalRegisterCheckoutFilters } = window.wc.blocksCheckout;
__experimentalRegisterCheckoutFilters( 'custom-place-order-button-label', {
	placeOrderButtonLabel: label,
} );
    Checkout Button

    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.

    Actions and Filters

    This release adds two new actions and one new filter.

    For a complete overview of High Performance Order Storage, take a look at the posts we’ve previously made, such as this post with frequently asked questions, or this one that addresses backward compatibility.
