  • Should have been an upgrade

    Shipping broke on the site I maintain. Upgrading to the new USPS API is a complex nightmare and Woo is not helping.

  • The Chaos

    You've done a huge mess. E-commerce doesn't work anymore.

    I'm glad it exists, but sadly it has lots of depreciation messages in PHP 8.3

  • No option to turn off the legacy rest api

    For some reason our clean install of woocommerce has the legacy rest api enabled and greyed out. Installing this plugin does not give us an option to turn off the api! Anyone got a solution on how to turn off the legacy rest api?

  • Doesn't work

    Installed in order to use Stripe, but despite jumping through many hoops, I still don't have Stripe as an option? I wasted an afternoon for nothing.
