WooCommerce has released the latest version, 7.1. It contains 185 commits for WooCommerce Core and 162 for WooCommerce Blocks.<\/p>

The latest version has several enhancements to help new users start their stores and cart block improvements that help maximize conversions. Moreover, it contains an update to the High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) feature.<\/p>

Let’s see the key features introduced with WooCommerce 7.1.<\/p>

Product Screen Tour<\/h2>

WooCommerce 7.1 adds a product screen guided tour<\/a> to help new users create their first product. It includes eight guided tasks, like how to add product names, descriptions, images, and tags.<\/p>

\"A<\/a><\/figure><\/div>

If you want to try the new product screen guided tour, navigate to WooCommerce -> Home<\/strong>, choose Add products<\/strong>, and then Start with a template<\/strong>. Select any template that suits you and click Go<\/strong>.<\/p>

You can skip the guide by clicking the cross<\/strong> icon at the top-right corner of the guide box. There’s also the Enable guided mode <\/strong>option if you want to reenable the guide from step one.<\/p>

Cross-Sells on Cart Block<\/h2>

Cart block in WooCommerce 7.1 has a new cross-sells feature<\/a> that lets store owners link certain products as cross-sells and link to them from the customer’s cart. This can encourage shoppers to buy more items.<\/p>

\n
\"A<\/a><\/figure><\/div>

For example, you can add Polo <\/strong>and Long Sleeve Tee <\/strong>as cross-sells for the product Cap<\/strong>. When a shopper adds a Cap to their cart, they will see Polo and Long Sleeve Tee as product recommendations, complete with the Add to cart <\/strong>button. <\/strong><\/p>

To add cross-sell recommendations to a product, go to the Products <\/strong>page and choose one. Select Linked products <\/strong>within the Product data<\/strong> section <\/strong>and add the cross-sell products in the Cross-sells <\/strong>field.<\/p>

The new patterns consist of three header and three footer designs, all available in light and dark versions:<\/p>
