all the WooCommerce users are looking for.
As per the Develop
WooCommerce blog, the new update has got a code name “Prowling
Pangolina”, so WooCommerce users get ready to enjoy a comprehensive
range of features of this update. Without discussing more about
WooCommerce 2.2, we can have a look on its features that are getting
ready:
Store Transaction ID
–
When customers finish
their purchasing from your store and transaction is taking place,
WooCommerce 2.2 will enable you to save the transaction ID in a
standardized format. Once you pass the transaction ID through
$order->payment_complete( $transaction_id ); to the
$order->payment_complete() method, this upcoming update will help
you to save the transaction ID as post meta. Moreover, you are also
able to turn the transaction ID into a link to the transaction page
of your payment gateway like PayPal.
Order Status Using
Post_Status –
As we all know that when
any customer places an order on the website that make use of
WooCommerce plugin, all those orders will have very least order
statuses like pending, completed, processing, on-hold and more.
However, WooCommerce is
saving all those order statuses with orders through a taxonomy known
as shop_order_status. Now, developers are throwing away taxonomy and
introducing a new way to save these statuses as post_status.
For all the regular posts
to save status as published, pending and draft, WordPress is already
making use of post_status. To store the status of the order,
WooCommerce 2.2 will make use of the same post_status. In short, all
the WooCommerce 2.1 users can update a new version when it released,
but they need to change the code to fully support the new version.
Refund Support –
Refund support is not
like a refund policy that when your customer of online store will not
like the product that they purchase and want a refund for it.
However, if you have developed your website with WooCommerce, there
is one good news is that the upcoming version of WooCommerce will be
able to programatically handle the refunds.
The upcoming update is
also going to introduce with the features that support
PUT/POST/DELETE for Coupons, Orders, Products and customers. To
