The latest update to WooCommerce Subscriptions, version 6.6.0, includes several important fixes and enhancements aimed at improving user experience. One significant change addresses a problem where switching subscriptions could accidentally create duplicates, particularly when using the Prepaid for WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin. Additionally, the update ensures that past orders in “checkout-draft” status are not counted when calculating switch orders, streamlining the process and reducing potential confusion.
On the technical side, developers have been given new tools to enhance functionality, such as a new parameter that allows filtering out orders with certain statuses. This version also improves how subscription-related events are processed, making them run more efficiently, and ensures that admin notifications work properly after bulk actions when using High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS). Lastly, for synced subscriptions with a longer renewal period, the next billing date will now automatically adjust to reflect a year in advance, making it easier for users to keep track of their subscriptions. Overall, these changes make WooCommerce Subscriptions more reliable and user-friendly.
