The WooCommerce Public Roadmap represents the company’s commitment to transparency and collaboration. It was created to provide the developer community with insights into current projects, future plans, and the overall direction of WooCommerce. The roadmap is a living document that details plans for WooCommerce’s core platform and products, allowing developers to see what is being worked on, what’s next in line, and what is being considered for the future.
The roadmap is organized into different categories: Ideation, Now, Next, and Later. Projects in the «Ideation» phase are being planned, but no work has started yet. «Now» refers to projects that are currently underway. «Next» includes projects that WooCommerce is committed to, but hasn’t started yet, while «Later» refers to projects that are being scoped out and are likely to happen, but work hasn’t been scheduled yet.
The public roadmap can be accessed at developer.woocommerce.com/roadmap, where developers can understand focus areas, prepare for upcoming changes, and find project pages where they can contribute their own thoughts and suggestions. Feedback is strongly encouraged, as it can directly influence development decisions and priorities.
As they move forward, WooCommerce plans to keep the roadmap updated with any new developments, continue regular office hours and community events, and listen to feedback from the developer community. The introduction of the Public Roadmap is expected to foster greater collaboration and innovation within the developer community.
