Since the release of version 3.0 in April, we have been carrying out a series of improvements to make it faster and simpler to start and run Woocommerce:
Use new new use of new Built -in import/export function to add and update product information, so as to save time
Subscribe to management woocommerce.com in woocommerce
By setting woocommerce shippinging
It is easier to transport products in the United States and Canada
Existing stores also have new features to enhance their online stores -embedded \”clauses and conditions\” when checkout, embedded in Video and more brief descriptions -and improve their workflow -allocate orders to customers for payment, and update the inventory status of all variants once. We also added search assistants to developers.
Many! l Let us study the details.
Use our new built -in tools to add or update product information
Adding a product is the key step when setting the store Essence Before this version, you have two options:
Manually set each product -suitable for shops that have a small number of products but inseparable
Purchase delay -for orders for orders The old store is very good, but the price is expensive for new people
We found that those stores with a large number of products but not actively sold are hitting the wall during the setting process. To make it easier, we have added a product import/export tool to WooCommerce.
The introduction tool allows you to upload all product information toWoocommerce, including names, short descriptions, normal prices and sales.
You can also import any standard product type, including variants using a single CSV file.
In addition to opening the store for the first time, the existing stores can also use the same tools to update the information in batches. For example: if you decide to attribute all products into a category for sales, or keep the information between different systems synchronizing, or if you have multiple stores, or if you are sold on the market outside the store. Importers will match data based on product ID or SKU.
You can decide which information to export, what information you can export, which information, Export one, part or all product types, and export custom metadata.
Over time, this core function will replace our product CSV import kit expansion.
Since we know that many customers have built a workflow around this extension, we will gradually eliminate it in the next WoOocommerce version. At present, we have reduced prices and added notifications to understand plans about this product.

Next, we pop up the terms and conditions to extend to Woocommerce, allowing you Customers provide terms and conditions to accept. When clicking the link, the \”clause\” will be opened on the page. Customers can check it without leaving the checkout.
Let customers accept \”terms and conditions\” sometimes need to send the payment page of specific orders to the customer’s owner’s owner You can see two improvements:

WC_get_orders and wc_order_query provided a standard and standardSafety ways to retrieve orders that are not interrupted by database changes in the Wooocommerce version in the future.
