WooCommerce Product Updates

MailPoet 5.36.1 adds a Latest posts block to the email editor, with per-post layout control, category and tag filtering, and the option to pick posts by hand. It also fixes background sending failing to resume after an update.

The block is aimed at anyone sending a content newsletter. You choose how each post appears — the layout is composable per post, so a lead story can be laid out differently from the items beneath it, rather than every post being forced into one repeating template. You can filter by category and tag to pull only the content that fits the audience,...

MailPoet 5.36.0 adds a tracking consent checkbox to your sign-up points, and a matching segment filter so you can target people based on whether they agreed to be tracked. It also fixes open and click rates that could report above 100%.

You can now add a separate tracking consent checkbox to MailPoet subscription forms, WooCommerce checkout, and the WordPress registration and comment forms. Subscribers choose at the point of sign-up whether you can track their opens and clicks, so consent is captured up front and tied to the moment they joined your list rather than handled after the fact. This builds...

WooCommerce Shipping now supports FedEx. You can compare FedEx rates against your other carriers and buy labels without leaving your dashboard or setting up a separate FedEx account.

Offer FedEx's popular domestic and international services, access discounted rates — up to 90% off — and keep every carrier in one place instead of juggling logins and separate workflows. Since launch, the flow has gotten a few merchant-facing refinements: a residential/commercial address toggle so FedEx can quote accurate rates and confirm service availability, and a phone number requirement on FedEx labels so shipments don't get held up in transit.

AutomateWoo — Referrals 2.13.0 improves the Refer a Friend email share form for shoppers who rely on assistive technologies. Validation messages — such as prompts to enter a valid email address — now stay visible on screen as persistent text instead of disappearing as native browser tooltips, meeting the WCAG 2.2.1 timing requirement so shoppers who need more time to read feedback won't miss it.

This release also raises the minimum required WooCommerce version to 10.9, with compatibility confirmed up to 11.0.

You can now build shipping rate rules based on the total volume of items in the cart, alongside the existing weight- and count-based options. For stores selling furniture, large appliances, or other bulky, packaged goods, dimensional size is often a better proxy for shipping cost than weight alone — this gives you a rule that reflects that.

Update to WooCommerce Table Rate Shipping 3.7.0, then set up a volume-based rate rule under WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping.

You can now embed videos from YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, Dailymotion, and VideoPress directly in the new email editor — no manual linking or workarounds needed. Typing in the editor canvas is also noticeably more responsive, so building longer emails feels less sluggish.

Two layout bugs are fixed alongside these: rows of buttons that previously stretched an email past its content width now wrap correctly, and full-width blocks now display at full width in the editor preview, matching what subscribers actually receive. A crash when opening the typography styles panel on an element without typography styles is also resolved. As a...

If you sell in more than one language, this release is the one to update for. Markets, currencies, and shipping feeds now work across your store's languages, so a multi-lingual store sends Google the right product data for each locale instead of forcing everything through a single one.

Croatia joins the list of countries supported by Google Merchant Center, so stores based there — or selling there — can now list products and run campaigns. This release also adds marketing notifications, which surface recommendations and account alerts where you already manage your campaigns, rather than leaving you to check Google's interface separately.

Two changes in this release affect how you build campaigns from your WooCommerce dashboard.

Ad image previews now load in the campaign builder, even when you have an adblocker turned on. Before, an adblocker could stop the auto-generated preview images from loading, so you'd build a campaign without a visual check of how the ad would look. Now the preview shows every time, so you can confirm the creative before you publish.

Brand guidelines now apply to non-shopping campaigns, including Performance Max. Previously you could only set brand controls on shopping campaigns. You can now keep your brand consistent...

If your store uses the progressive layout, where shoppers build a composite product one component at a time, the builder now collapses each completed component as soon as the shopper makes a choice. The page stays focused on the next decision instead of a growing stack of already-answered steps. This release also exposes the Option Select Action setting, so you control what happens when a shopper selects an option rather than relying on the default behavior.

Catalog prices are also more accurate. Composites that include components with no individual price, combined with scenarios that conditionally hide certain components, could...

WooCommerce Product Add-Ons 8.4.0 makes the global add-ons list easier to work with if you manage many add-ons, and fixes mini-cart pricing so add-on costs now show with tax included.

If you run add-ons across a lot of products, the global add-ons list is now easier to navigate. You can sort the list by name, search to filter add-ons by name, and set how many add-ons show per page. Finding a specific add-on in a long list takes fewer clicks.

Add-on prices in the mini-cart now include tax. Before, the mini-cart could show add-on prices without tax, which didn't match...

WooCommerce Bookings 3.8.0 adds a reschedule flow to the booking details screen, so you can move a customer to a new slot without creating a new order or re-entering the price. It also lets you customize the "Requires confirmation" payment option and fixes several calendar display issues.

When a customer needs to change their appointment, you can now reschedule it right from the booking details page in your admin. The calendar there is availability-aware and preselects their current slot, so you can see what's open and move them in a few clicks. The original price carries over — no new order,...

WooCommerce Product Vendors 2.6.0 replaces the single "Admin Notes" field on vendor profiles with a full notes timeline for both vendors and their products, so you can keep a running, dated record of issues, policy violations, and decisions instead of one field you overwrite.

Every vendor and every product now has its own timeline. Store admins can add, edit, and delete timestamped notes, so the history of a vendor relationship stays in one place and you can see when each note was added. Any notes you already have migrate automatically when you update, so nothing is lost.

A new red-flag...

This release lets your store show real-time ShipStation rates and estimated delivery times to shoppers during checkout, so customers can weigh their options before they buy — plus a couple of reliability fixes that keep rates loading cleanly.

Show shoppers their real shipping options at checkout. Your store can now display live ShipStation-calculated rates and estimated delivery times directly on the checkout page. Instead of a flat guess or no estimate at all, shoppers see the actual cost and timing for each option and can pick the one that fits — which means fewer surprises at the most fragile moment of...

MailPoet 5.34.0 cuts manual steps out of managing subscribers, building forms, and running automations, and picks up your theme's colors automatically in the form editor.

Add a manage-subscription form with a block — no shortcode. You can now drop a Manage Subscription block onto any page from the editor and it renders the manage-subscription form directly, without a shortcode or special URL parameters. It's a simpler way to give subscribers a place to update their own preferences.

See and set a subscriber's timezone. Each subscriber's record now shows their timezone, and you can view or update it while editing them — useful...

WooCommerce Bookings Availability 1.4.0 delivers a broad accessibility overhaul of the Bookings Calendar and Schedule blocks, plus fixes that make the calendar behave correctly for accommodation bookings and on mobile.

The Calendar and Schedule blocks have been rebuilt to work for every customer. Shoppers who navigate by keyboard can now move through the event calendar without a mouse, and screen readers announce when the calendar is loading, so customers using assistive technology always know what's happening. Booking buttons, event items, and calendar navigation now carry clear labels that screen readers can read out, focus outlines are visible as customers tab...

USPS Shipping Method 5.6.0 gives shoppers customer-facing shipping insurance and signature confirmation at checkout, tightens the delivery-commitment display to the rate they actually selected, and resolves a weight-rounding bug that could stop rates from loading on letter and lightweight shipments.

Let shoppers protect their own orders at checkout. Shoppers can now add USPS shipping insurance and signature confirmation to their order at checkout. That gives buyers control over how their package is protected and delivered, and moves the cost of those add-ons to the customer who wants them instead of leaving it on the store. It's a straightforward way to...

Three MailPoet releases shipped within a week. Together they add ready-to-use email content for subscription and booking automations, let you preview automation emails without leaving the editor, bring filtering and sorting to every listing, align WooCommerce revenue reporting with Woo Analytics, and put Sender and Reply-to controls in the email editor.

Build automations without writing the emails first. Subscription and booking automations now come with ready-to-send email content patterns built in, so you can turn on an automation without starting from a blank canvas. You can also preview an automation template's pre-built email content before you commit to building...

Customs Fees for WooCommerce 1.3.0 recalibrates the built-in China-to-US preset to reflect current post-IEEPA tariff rates, so the fees your shoppers see at checkout match what they'll actually owe.

If your store imports goods from China and sells to US customers, this preset now calculates customs fees on the current rate schedule instead of the older pre-IEEPA figures. Tariffs on Chinese imports have shifted under IEEPA (the authority behind the recent US tariff changes), and the preset ships pre-configured so you don't have to track those rates or update them by hand. Shoppers see an accurate landed cost at checkout,...

WooCommerce Bookings 3.7.0 improves availability accuracy for group and person-based bookings, makes the booking form easier to use with assistive technologies, and fixes a timezone issue in the product editor.

The calendar no longer shows a day as available when the remaining capacity falls below the minimum number of people required per booking. Before, a customer could pick a day, work through the booking flow, and only hit a wall at the end when there weren't enough spots left to meet your minimum. Now those days show as unavailable up front, so customers only see — and only book — dates they...

This note rolls up two releases — 2.10.0 and 2.11.0 — so if you're updating from an earlier version, here's everything that's new in one place. Together they expand how you can run your referral program and add reporting you can act on.

Offer referral links and referral coupons at the same time. Previously you had to pick one or the other. Now you can turn both on together, giving customers more ways to share your store and refer their friends.

See how referral coupons are performing in WooCommerce Analytics. Referral coupons now appear alongside your other coupons under Analytics > Coupons, so...
