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:
- 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.
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

from the setup task list. Select any template, and then click onGo
.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 showsPlace 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.
Actions
Action Description woocommerce_before_delete_order
