WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Improved logic in “force currency by country”

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 4.5.7.171124. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Improved “force currency by country” logic. The new logic makes sure that the “currency by country” takes priority over other selections. This will prevent the confusing scenario where, even with the option enabled, it was possible to select a currency manually, only to see it changing back when opening a new page.
  • Improved currency selector widget. The widget now shows clearer error messages when the currencies are not configured correctly. We also added a message to make it clearer to shop owners that, when the “force currency by country” option is enabled, the currency selector widget has no effect.
  • Fixed price filter widget in WooCommerce 3.2.x. An undocumented change in the price filter widget prevented the conversion of the selected price range. We added a new check that makes the Currency Switcher aware of the change, so that the filtering range is converted correctly.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Optimised installation process, better support for WP Engine

/in ,

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 4.5.4.171109. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Rewritten the installation process to improve compatibility with hosting providers like WP Engine. When the Currency Switcher runs for the first time, it processes the existing orders to make sure that the reports show the correct figures. This process is important, and can take time to complete, especially if a large amount of orders is present. This operation has to be performed only once and, in normal circumstances, it works fine. In some cases, however, the execution limit enforced by hosting providers can affect the processing of orders. If that operation runs for too long, the server can halt it.
    Some hosting providers, such as WP Engine, need to focus on performance, and enforce strict limits on how long a process can run. Due to that, the installation process risks being interrupted before it completes. This can result in a frustrating experience for the merchant.In this update, we altered the logic used to process past orders so that it handles them in chunks. Every time an admin page loads, the Currency Switcher loads the next chunk of orders, until all of them have been processed. This will minimise the risk of timeout on most managed WP hosting providers, and improve the user experience for the merchants.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Improved user experience on settings page

/in ,

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 4.5.2.171019. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Improved settings page. We improved the logic that validates the settings before allowing the merchant to save them. This will reduce the confusion caused by conditions in which the settings were apparently saved correctly, but the Currency Switcher reported errors related to them.
    Additionally, when Open Exchange Rates is the selected FX rates provider, the new logic prompts the merchant to enter an API key for that service, or to select another provider. This will make sure that the FX rates will be fetched correctly.

WooCommerce Tax Display by Country – Maintenance release (WooCommerce 3.2.x and “keep prices fixed” option)

/in , ,

WooCommerce Tax Display by Country – What’s new

The Tax Display by Country plugin for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.9.8.171023. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed bug affecting the “keep product prices fixed” feature. The bug was introduced in WooCommerce 3.2.x, due to an unexpected change in the tax calculation logic. The glitch affected the calculation of cart subtotal, which was calculated incorrectly. Specifically, the first product having its price fixed, while next products would have taxes added or removed to their price, depending on customer’s address. This update includes a workaround to make sure that product prices will remain fixed in WooCommerce 3.2.x.
