Just over a year ago, we shipped a product we’d partnered with WooCommerce to build that we thought would be a great addition to the WooCommerce platform: the WooCommerce iOS app. Our goal was to build something that would let store owners keep a pulse on how their store was doing, and that this would evolve into a tool that would let WooCommerce shop owners manage some of their store on-the-go as development progressed. We…
One of our major goals for the first half of this year was to release the official WooCommerce iPhone app. While we released the app a bit behind schedule (in July), we were still really excited to get our first iOS app out the door and to create a mobile store management tool that we’d want to use ourselves. However, the process of building the app wasn’t entirely smooth sailing, so we figured we’d share…
Hey there! We’d recently updated the WooCommerce iOS app to version 1.1.1, which fixed an irritating bug with phone number formatting. However, we’d noted that we had another patch coming in that post: We’ve also got a version 1.1.2 patch about to be submitted (remember, it takes about a week for Apple to review) that has a workaround for server incompatibilities with some hosts. If you’ve updated your API keys, but you can’t update order…
Hi there! We just have a quick update for you today. Version 1.1.1 of the WooCommerce iOS app has been released. This patch release includes fixes for a few bugs, as well as phone number formatting being fixed for real 🙂 . We experienced a phone number formatting issues with some countries where a "+1" was being appended because the format was mistaken for a US number, so if you were one of the shops…
Before you read the rest of this article and get excited about the cool things the WooCommerce iOS app has learned how to do, please do one thing for me: Update your API keys for Read / Write capability, not just “Read”. You’ll need this. 😉 In which we make excuses We know many of you have been waiting for this release for a while, and we wanted to say that we’re sorry for the…
If you’re using the official WooCommerce iPhone app, you may have noticed that custom order statuses have their own icon when displayed in your order details: These handy little icons (designed by Jay Koster) can be added to your WooCommerce “Orders” page as well so they’re consistent throughout your shop and the app. Here’s a quick guide on how to add WooCommerce custom order status icons. You don’t have to be using the iPhone app…
Hey Everyone! We’ve released a minor update for the WooCommerce iPhone app that adds support for custom order statuses. If you’ve added your own order status to your store (maybe you even used Justin’s tutorial to do this), the app previously didn’t know how to handle this information. We’ve now added the ability to read custom order statuses, such as “Shipped” or “Awaiting Fulfillment” (provided that they’ve been created correctly), and each of these new…
