The latest innovations and products can help simplify your world -- and give you more time to enjoy your successes throughout the year.
What's new in
Continue to enhance the product editor
Since we launched our brand new product editor in 2023 we've continued to innovate on our user experience, and have added the ability to integrate with your preferred extensions. Below are some recent changes that have made more efficient than ever before to manage and create product.
The editor has been updated, with a more intuitive interface: The cover image is shown next to the product name for better visual hierarchy as well as we've added new tags that clearly identify the Draft as well as Hidden product statuses.
Regarding Product Add-ons The latest version of the software means that you can now make it possible tomanually build orders that include specific options, in addition to edit add-ons in current orders, and pick alternatives when items are out of availability. We've also paved the way for future analytics support by adjusting the way data is saved.
Cart and Checkout blocks get smaller and more user-friendly.
Performance-wise our team has streamlined the process JavaScript is designed for both the Cart as well as Checkout blocks, resulting in significantly smaller information load for each webpage. The Cart block sees an 11percent reduction in the amount of data, while Checkout is reduced by 17.9 percent, bringing your site up to speed with each stage.
The additional checkout field are transitioning from a beta version to the official version. These new fields are user-friendly and give an additional way to gather additional information about your customer's purchase or.
Visual updates include a fresh overview of your order (with sticky function on desktops) and a clearer overview of pickup locations in the local area and improved layout of the address form as well as adjustments to the checkout steps. We also made accessibility improvements to provide a better shopping experience for all.
A more robust mobile app is now available on smart watches
The cards you want are visible on the dashboard for Woo apps which includes your Woo admin inbox, recently reviewed reviews, active coupons, stock level as well as recent purchases. You can take action right using the cards that you use often, and block the ones you don't use -It's up to you to set the way you want.

More stylish and BNPL discovery in WooPayments
WooPay adds even more speed and convenience
If buyers click "Proceed to pay" they'll be taken straight to the quick, secure (and already 2.5x more profitable!) WooPay checkout. That's not all: we've implemented performance improvements beneath the hood, so WooPay is also faster to load than ever.
Additionally, we made it simpler for WooPay users to discover and utilize their preferred payment method. The brand new "Alternative payment methods" link within the Pay With section will take shoppers directly to your checkout page -- with all of their checkout information pre-filled with data from WooPay. Reduce time spent by your customers and give a massive efficiency boost in your checkout.
Another change that is brand-friendly: The WooPay The Light along with the Outline themed buttons have been changed to a neutral white background for better compatibility with store brand colors.
Improved understanding and views for Order Attribution
Earlier this year, we introduced the Order Attribution view that displays the source of your orders in order to assist you in making informed choices about how to spend your time and money. In 8.9, we added an Attribution column to the table of orders and to the report, giving you more ways to access and utilize your information.
