WooCommerce 2.3 – Product Compatibility Status

/in , ,

WooCommerce 2.3 was released on the 11th of February 2015, followed shortly by several updates, and we started our testing process to ensure that our plugins are compatible with it. Our results currently indicate that the new version has introduced some unexpected breaking changes that could cause our plugins not to work correctly.

We strongly recommend to install WooCommerce 2.3 on a test site first, and check that all installed plugins are working correctly, before updating your live site.

Compatibility status

Currency Switcher

We are working to fix an issue with the shipping costs not being converted. The issue has been fixed in plugin release 3.6.19.140213, available now.

We received a report of an issue related to coupons. Such issue is caused by yet another undocumented breaking change in WooCommerce 2.3, and it has been fixed in version 3.6.20.140217.

The Currency Switcher is now compatible with WooCommerce 2.3.

Currency Switcher Add-ons

Tax Display by Country

Compatible. The changes added to WooCommerce 2.3.x should not this product. Please note that the Tax Display by Country plugin uses its own Geolocation features, and it ignores the ones introduced in WooCommerce 2.3.

Prices by Country

Compatible.

Payment Gateways

  • First Data/Authipay Gateway
    An undocumented change in WooCommerce 2.3 caused the plugin to crash. We implemented a workaround in version of 1.2.13.150211 of the product.
  • Mijireh Multi-Currency Gateway
    Compatible since version 1.2.1.140213. Requires WooCommerce Mijireh Checkout plugin 1.0.2 or later.
  • PayPal Standard Multi-Account Gateway
    Plugin is compatible with WooCommerce 2.3 since version 1.1.2.150422. WooCommerce 2.3 replaced the default PayPal gateway with a more complex one, which cannot be extended easily. We rewrote the PayPal multi-account plugin to work around this limitation, allowing it to work correctly with the latest version of the ecommerce.
  • Skrill Gateway
    An undocumented change in WooCommerce 2.3 caused the plugin to crash. We implemented a workaround in version of 1.2.20.150211 of the product.

EU VAT Assistant

This plugin is compatible with WooCommerce 2.3 since version 1.2.0.150213.

Blacklister

Compatible. An undocumented change in WooCommerce 2.3 caused the plugin to malfunction at checkout. We implemented a workaround in version of 0.8.5.150112-beta of the product.

 

We will keep testing our products to make sure that any issue which might still exist is fixed quickly and efficiently. Should you find any, please feel free to report it using our support portal: Aelia Support Portal. Thanks for your time and collaboration.

Tax Display by Country now supports fixed product prices

/in , ,

Our Tax Display by Country became even more powerful!

Version 1.7.0.150109 of our WooCommerce Tax Display by Country plugin will become available soon on CodeCanyon. This new version implements a new, powerful feature that was requested to us by several of our customers: the possibility to keep product prices fixed, including tax regardless of what tax rate applies to a customer.

What is the new feature about?

As most WooCommerce users know, when prices are entered including taxes, WooCommerce considers those prices as “inclusive of the taxes that apply to shop’s base location.” For example, if your shop is based in Ireland, a product priced 100 Euro will be considered inclusive of 23% Irish VAT. When a customer from Germany (19% VAT) will buy such product, the price he will see will become 91.63 Euro, calculated as 100 Euro – 23% Irish VAT + 19% German VAT.

This calculation, while correct, produces all sorts of different amounts. In some cases, it would be better to be able to show a price of 100 Euro to all the customers, and calculate the tax-exclusive price from it. WooCommerce, by itself, does not allow to do that.

Luckily, our WooCommerce Tax Display by Country plugin comes to the rescue, by implementing such a feature for you. By enabling a single option in its settings, you will now be able to keep all product prices fixed, regardless of what tax applies to the purchase.

Fantastic! When is this feature going to be available?

We already submitted the updated plugin to the CodeCanyon marketplace. You can expect it to become available at any time from now.

WooCommerce 2.2 – Product Compatibility Status

/in , ,

WooCommerce 2.2 was released yesterday, followed shortly by updates to 2.2.1 and 2.2.2, and we started our testing process to ensure that our plugins are compatible with it. Despite the many changes introduced by the new version, we are happy to inform you that our products are now ready for use on WooCommerce 2.2.x.

Products compatible with WooCommerce 2.2.x

Currency Switcher

Our flagship product was the first in the list. The Currency Switcher, until version 3.4.17.140903, is almost entirely compatible with WooCommerce 2.2. The only bug we found was that the dashboard widget did not display the correct amount of sales. The issue has been fixed in 3.5.0.140911, already available.

Currency Switcher Add-ons

All Currency Switcher add-ons are not affected by the breaking changes in WooCommerce 2.2.x and should be fully compatible with it.

Tax Display by Country

The changes added to WooCommerce 2.2.x do not affect this plugin, which should work out of the box.

Payment Gateways

Blacklister

The plugin is compatible with WooCommerce 2.2.x.

 

We will keep testing our products to make sure that any issue which might still exist is fixed quickly and efficiently. Should you find any, please feel free to report it using our support portal: Aelia Support Portal. Thanks for your time and collaboration.
