Better Usability for WooCommerce

1.0.63

• Added an optional low-stock urgency badge (“Only {stock} left in stock!”) near the Add to Cart button on both the single product page (woocommerce_single_product_summary) and the shop/archive loop (woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item). It renders only for stock-managed products whose remaining quantity is at or below the threshold — the configured value when set, otherwise WooCommerce’s own woocommerce_notify_low_stock_amount (overridable via the wbu_low_stock_threshold filter) — swaps {stock} for the remaining quantity, and is output as a role="status" region so screen readers announce it. Enable it and customise the text/threshold under the Product tab
• Added a free-shipping progress bar to the classic Cart and the Mini-Cart — a live “Add $X more to get FREE shipping!” message with a progress bar that reads your store’s own free-shipping threshold (the min_amount of the Free shipping method on the matching shipping zone, coupon-only rules excluded, overridable via the wbu_free_shipping_threshold filter), swaps {remaining} for the amount still needed, and shows an “unlocked” message at 100%; it refreshes automatically as quantities change on the cart and rides WooCommerce’s fragment refresh in the Mini-Cart. Enable it and customise both messages under the Cart tab
• The −/+ quantity buttons are now accessible everywhere they appear (shop, product, cart, checkout, mini-cart and the PRO Quick View modal): each button exposes a real “Decrease quantity” / “Increase quantity” label to screen readers instead of a bare “-” / “+” glyph, and can be operated with the keyboard using Enter or Space
• The new quantity is now announced to screen readers after each −/+ click (e.g. “Quantity: 3”), and “Cart total updated” is announced once the AJAX cart/checkout refresh finishes, through a single visually-hidden aria-live region
• Made the free-shipping progress bar accessible: the track is now a real role="progressbar" control (with aria-valuemin/valuemax/valuenow and a plaintext aria-label), and its state is announced to screen readers through the shared aria-live region whenever it changes on a cart refresh (classic Cart or Mini-Cart) — so shoppers hear “Add $X more to get FREE shipping!” and the “You’ve unlocked free shipping!” unlock is spoken exactly once
• When “lock the quantity input” is enabled, the input is now marked as read-only for assistive tech (aria-readonly) while staying focusable, so the current quantity can still be read out

1.0.62

• The Block Cart and Block Checkout quantity steppers now increment/decrement by each product’s own configured step (e.g. 0.5 kg for weight-based products or multiples of 6 for “sold in packs” products), matching the classic Cart and preventing invalid quantities that trigger Store API validation errors at checkout
• The “show a confirmation prompt before an item’s quantity is reduced to zero” safety feature now also works inside the WooCommerce Block Cart — a stray click on the remove link (or the minus stepper at quantity 1) asks “are you sure?” before the item is removed, matching the classic Cart behaviour
• The “Go to checkout directly instead of cart” shortcut now also works on block-based shops (Product Collection / All Products) — adding a product from a shop, product or product-grid block sends the shopper straight to checkout, matching the classic behaviour that only fired on the old add-to-cart request

1.0.61

• The global maximum-quantity-per-product limit and the sold-individually / “lock quantity input” rule are now enforced inside the WooCommerce Block Cart and Block Checkout (their quantity steppers read the limits from the Store API); the remaining classic-only tweaks still target the shortcode-based Cart/Checkout pages

1.0.60

• Fixed the “Better Usability for WooCommerce may not be compatible with the Checkout block” admin notice — the plugin now declares compatibility with the Cart/Checkout Blocks (its features no-op inside the Blocks rather than breaking them)

1.0.59

• PRO: Added Sticky Add to Cart bar — floats in when the shopper scrolls past the Add to Cart button on product pages; position, background colour, and text colour are all configurable
• PRO: Added Quick View modal — opens a product preview lightbox from the Shop page without a page navigation

1.0.58

• Fixed quantity selector always sending 1 when using the [add_to_cart] shortcode — add-to-cart button is a sibling of the qty form, not a child, so data-quantity was never updated
• Fixed compat scripts reporting missing dependencies by moving enqueue hook to a later priority so third-party scripts are registered first
• Fixed checkout slowdown caused by Ajax Search compat script binding an expensive DOMSubtreeModified listener — replaced with MutationObserver and excluded the script from checkout pages
