WooCommerce Product Updates

Two changes in this release are visible to your customers. Recipients can now opt out of AutomateWoo email and SMS tracking, which stops their opens and clicks being recorded. If you also run MailPoet 5.38.1 or later, turning open and click tracking off in MailPoet turns it off in AutomateWoo as well, so a subscriber only has to make that choice once.

The second change adds a confirmation step. When a customer clicks a reorder or cart-restore link in one of your emails, AutomateWoo now asks them to confirm before replacing what is already in their cart. Until now the...

AutomateWoo 6.8.2 adds order and subscription address rules, so you can trigger workflows based on where an order is going rather than only who placed it. It also tightens how unsubscribe links identify a recipient.

The new rules cover billing and shipping addresses on both orders and subscriptions, including shipping phone numbers. That opens up workflows you couldn't build before: a delivery-region follow-up that only goes to customers in a particular city or postcode, a different post-purchase sequence for orders shipping to a business address versus a home address, or an SMS workflow that checks a shipping phone number is...

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.

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...

This note covers two releases at once — 6.5.0 and 6.6.0. Together they sharpen how AutomateWoo tracks abandoned carts, measures email engagement, styles your emails, and keeps workflows running where they should.

See what actually happens to abandoned carts. Instead of deleting a cart record once the cart is emptied or the order is placed, AutomateWoo now keeps it and tracks its outcome — Emptied, Placed, or Recovered. You get a clearer, ongoing picture of how your abandoned cart workflows are performing rather than losing the trail the moment a cart changes.

AutomateWoo — Referrals 2.9.0 launches your referral program on day one with an auto-created share page, gives you tighter control over who can redeem coupons, and keeps advocate reward credit accurate.

Your referral program is ready to share the moment you install it. AutomateWoo — Referrals 2.9.0 now creates a "Refer a friend" share page for you automatically, so advocates have somewhere to send invitations without any setup on your part. A new read-only program summary in the Referrals admin area gives you a quick view of how the program is performing.

Tighter control over who can redeem a referral coupon. A new...

This release closes the gaps that quietly shrink your birthday list — a missing day-31 option in the checkout selector, plus a new warning when account creation is off — and lets teammates review the settings without edit access.

Customers born on the 31st of a month can now pick their real birthday at checkout. The day selector was missing the 31st, so those shoppers either entered the wrong date or skipped the field — which meant inaccurate data and birthday workflows firing on the wrong day. The 31st is now in the dropdown, so the dates you collect are correct.

Birthday...

This release also fixes several issues: tracking links now apply to plain-text URLs in emails, not just linked text; manual workflow runs no longer skip or duplicate records that share the same timestamp; duplicate scheduled actions are no longer queued for the same workflow item; and review-based workflows no longer error when comment data is missing.
