FleetConnector 2.1.0: Full WooCommerce HPOS support and smarter delivery automation

We're excited to announce FleetConnector 2.1.0, our biggest update yet. This release brings full compatibility with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS), a redesigned interface, and powerful new features that make automating your WooCommerce to Onfleet delivery workflow even easier.

WooCommerce HPOS: Why this matters for your store

WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) is the new standard for order data management in WooCommerce. Instead of storing orders as custom post types in the wp_posts table, HPOS uses dedicated database tables optimized specifically for order data. This results in faster queries, better scalability, and improved performance for high-volume stores.

Starting in 2024, WooCommerce has been gradually transitioning all stores to HPOS. Many hosting providers and WooCommerce itself now recommend enabling HPOS for better performance. If your store processes more than 100 orders per day, HPOS can significantly improve your admin dashboard speed and reduce database load.

What FleetConnector 2.1.0 brings for HPOS

FleetConnector 2.1.0 is fully compatible with WooCommerce HPOS. Whether your store uses the legacy post-based storage or the new HPOS tables, FleetConnector works seamlessly:

• Bulk actions work in both modes: Select multiple orders and send them to Onfleet with one click, regardless of your storage mode.
• Status column displays correctly: The Onfleet sync status column now shows properly in the HPOS orders list.
• Order meta box fully compatible: The FleetConnector meta box on individual order pages works with HPOS order screens.
• Automatic task creation triggers properly: Status change hooks work correctly with HPOS for automatic Onfleet task creation.

Redesigned license management

We've completely redesigned the license management interface to provide clearer feedback about your subscription status. The new design features three distinct visual states:

This makes it immediately clear whether your license is working, needs renewal, or hasn't been activated yet. No more guessing about your subscription status.

New shipping filter: Only sync orders that need delivery

One of the most requested features is here. The new "Only sync orders that require shipping" setting lets you automatically skip orders that don't need delivery. This is perfect for stores that sell both physical and digital products, or offer local pickup alongside delivery.

When enabled, FleetConnector checks if the order contains items that require shipping. Orders with only virtual products, downloadable items, or local pickup are automatically excluded from Onfleet sync. This eliminates the need to manually filter orders or clean up unnecessary tasks in Onfleet.

Perfect for these scenarios:

• Mixed product catalogs: Sell both physical goods and digital downloads? Only physical orders create Onfleet tasks.
• Local pickup option: Customers choosing in-store pickup won't create delivery tasks.
• Gift cards and vouchers: Virtual gift card purchases are automatically excluded.

Cleaner order list with simplified status indicators

We've simplified the Onfleet status column in your WooCommerce orders list. Instead of verbose text labels, you now see clean visual indicators:

This cleaner design takes up less space and makes it faster to scan your orders list. You can instantly see which orders have been synced to Onfleet and which ones haven't.

You can also now hide the status column entirely if you prefer a cleaner orders list. The new Display Settings option lets you toggle the column visibility.

Activity log management

The FleetConnector dashboard logs all sync activity for troubleshooting. Over time, these logs can accumulate. Version 2.1.0 adds a "Clear Activity Logs" button in the Danger Zone settings, allowing you to clean up old log entries when needed.

Bug fixes in this release

We've resolved several issues reported by users:

• Bulk actions missing: The "Send to Onfleet" bulk action now appears correctly in the orders dropdown.
• HPOS status column: The Onfleet status column now displays in HPOS-enabled stores.
• Auto-sync on status change: Automatic task creation now triggers correctly when order status changes.
