Develop with Woo

WooCommerce 10.9 has been released! This update includes performance updates and a number of new beta features (variation image galleries, save for later, color swatches, and more). Lets look at what's in this release 1/🧵

WooCommerce 11.0 is coming. Expect performance work for larger stores, more flexible customer and email flows, reporting improvements, and a focused set of compatibility changes for extension developers. developer.woocommerce.com/?p=8770948

Starting with WooCommerce 11.0, the function get_queried_object() on the Shop page will return a WP_Post object instead of a WP_Post_Type object, aligning its behavior with other pages. developer.woocommerce.com/?p=8770928

My team has been working on improving our @DevelopWoo developer documentation. I'd love your feedback on what's missing and have opened a GitHub discussion where you can share your thoughts: github.com/woocommerce/wo…

WooCommerce 11.0 changes product_shipping_class to a non-public taxonomy, aligning it with internal shipping rules, requiring minimal developer adjustments. developer.woocommerce.com/?p=8770882

WooCommerce 10.9.4 has been released. This point release includes a small fix for block checkout. developer.woocommerce.com/?p=8770827

WooCommerce Core now limits contributors without write access to 3 open PRs at a time. This helps maintainers keep review queues healthy while encouraging fewer, stronger, better-tested contributions. developer.woocommerce.com/?p=8770817

WooCommerce 10.9.3 has been released with a fix for fatal errors that may be caused by filters on WC_Email. developer.woocommerce.com/?p=8770811

WooCommerce 10.9.1 has been released. This point fix includes a fix for the plugin update process and an update to push notifications. developer.woocommerce.com/?p=8770801

How we replaced a bulky tiered-pricing plugin with WooCommerce coupons and 200 lines of PHP, cutting 12,888 lines of code while surviving BFCM without coupon bugs or outages. developer.woocommerce.com/?p=8770746

Issues in the @WooCommerce Github repo have dropped from 2,610 at the beginning of June to 1,881 as of right now 🎉 Making some good progress on this backlog cleanup. I'll share more details about the plan later this week, but this is exciting progress so far.

Starting in one hour!

WooCommerce 10.9 includes an experimental feature to automatically convert your PHP settings pages and sections to the new React-powered WordPress components with one line of code (more if you have custom inputs).

Try out a new concept and features: Shopper Lists in @WooCommerce developer.woocommerce.com/2026/06/26/sho…

@MarcoAlmeidaPT Hey Marco, thank you for pointing this out. The docs have been updated with the tool.

@DevelopWoo Err... you published a post around a tool that is still not available?

PayPal Standard is officially sunsetting soon. Read up on how you can upgrade with confidence in PayPal 4.1.0 and plan your move accordingly. developer.woocommerce.com/?p=8770739

If you build WooCommerce stores, especially with customized block templates or extensions, we’d love your feedback. developer.woocommerce.com/2026/06/26/sho…

Save for Later lets shoppers move items out of the cart without losing them, then move them back when they’re ready to buy. Wishlists let shoppers save products from the product page, then revisit them from My Account or a Wishlist block on a custom page.

WooCommerce 10.9 includes two experimental Shopper Lists features for logged-in shoppers: Save for Later and Wishlists. They’re opt-in, block-based, and ready for testing. 🧵

@danielebesana We definitely recommend staying on the latest version of Woo and any extensions. But every store is unique and we saw some early warning signs on this particular combo. Making sure every store stays online is our priority.

@DevelopWoo What's the reason to keep an older stripe plugin version and only upgrade woo? Payment gateway plugins usually release 3x more updates than Woo

WooCommerce has released version 10.9.1, fixing compatibility issues with older Stripe Payment Gateway versions. developer.woocommerce.com/?p=8770729
