WooCommerce 3.4 plugins compatibility

Updated: August 25, 2022 / Plugin Updates, Tech Posts

WooCommerce 3.4 focuses on GDPR. Half of the new features relate to this data protection regulation. In this article, I'll show you new features in short. Also, I'll advert about our plugins compatibility.

The WooCommerce team released WooCommerce 3.4 on 23rd May 2018. It implements 14 new features. Part of them relates to new WordPress' features. That's why you need to update WordPress (to 4.9.6), too!

Our plugins are WooCommerce 3.4-ready. You can update our plugins with no worries. Important thing! We discontinued support for WooCommerce 2.6.14. Now we support WooCommerce 3.0 to 3.4 now!

WooCommerce 3.4 is backward compatible so you can easily update your store. However, it's always good to make a backup before updating.

GDPR features

I'll guide you through new features in short. If you need more insights, check out WooCommerce's blog post about GDPR features →

Exporting and deleting data

WordPress 4.9.6 includes both the ability to export and to delete users' personal data. You can export data associated with an email address to an HTML file. Also, you can completely delete this data. WooCommerce hooks to this functionality. It adds additional data containing:

  • Customer's address, orders, and account information
  • Download permissions and logs of a user

After updating you'll see a new options in Tools:

Export personal data

Also, you can delete personal data from orders in bulk:

Remove personal data in bulk

Accounts & Privacy Settings

There was 'Accounts' tab in the WooCommerce settings. WooCommerce team renamed it to 'Accounts & Privacy' due to new features. Check out this screen:

Accounts & Privacy - Settings

There are new settings there:

  • Account erasure request
  • Privacy policy site
  • Personal data retention

Checkout page display options

WooCommerce 3.4 gives you the ability to make some fields optional, required, or hide. You'll find these options in Customizing:

Checkout settings

Other features

WooCommerce 3.4 introduces other (non-GDPR) features, too! In short, after updating you'll get:

  • A new order widget to the dashboard (on multisite) so you can see your orders across multiple stores on the same WordPress network.
  • Display name settings on a user's My Account page.
  • Product search improvements including stopword support and support for searching for multiple products at the same time.
  • Ability to enable or disable Cash on Delivery for specific shipping methods instead of only method types.
  • Wildcard email support for coupons.
  • GeoLite2 library support (as a replacement for the deprecated MaxMind GeoIP library).
  • A tool for cleaning up download permissions table.

I want to show you two of the new features.

Here are the Display name settings:
