### [Super slow and cumbersome](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/super-slow-and-cumbersome/)
[chaosheld](https://profiles.wordpress.org/chaosheld/) November 28, 2025
We were looking for an easy solution to connect our WooCommerce webstore with a
physical store. We sell books and currently have roughly 380k products online, which
works perfectly with WooCommerce, ElasticPress, and some customizations, of course.
Let’s face it: all plugins that aim to connect a physical store with WooCommerce
are crap, and this one even costs around 120 euros and still doesn’t work as expected.
It keeps freezing, not responding at all, or the EAN search simply returns no results,
even though the products exist and are managed by ATUM (which is actually pretty
good). The issue seems to be that under the hood, the products are mirrored through
a super slow API, which bottlenecks everything very quickly.I’m really frustrated
and will need to build my own solution over the next few weeks and months.On top
of that, the support is nonexistent. Thank you very much for nothing. TL;DR: Can’t
recommend.

I ran in to some tax table issues and jumped on the Discord support. “Kilbot” user
name of support guy had me up and running in just a few minutes. Having this rapid
response makes the difference between a small inconvenience and a massive headache.
Highly recommend these guys.

## Changelog
#### 1.8.14 – 2026/02/19
* **Hardened DB migration locking** — upgrade now uses the WordPress core upgrader
lock (`WP_Upgrading`) with an atomic acquisition check and a shutdown fallback,
preventing concurrent migrations on high-traffic sites ([#540](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/540))
* **Fixed offline gateway ignoring POS checkout status** — orders placed with the
Cash or Card gateway while offline now respect the configured POS checkout status
instead of defaulting to “processing” ([#544](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/544))
* **Fixed i18n locale fallback and caching** — translation lookups no longer retry
locales that returned a definitive 404, reducing unnecessary network requests
on every page load ([#543](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/543))
* **Fixed settings page clipping on some WordPress themes** — the left side of
the settings panel was being cut off on sites where `#wpcontent` has extra padding(
[#545](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/545))
* **Reduced extensions catalog cache TTL** — the extension directory now refreshes
every hour instead of daily, so newly published extensions appear faster ([#546](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/546))
* **Allowed php-jwt advisory on PHP 7.4** — resolved a PHP Scoper install failure
caused by a security advisory that only affects newer PHP versions ([#541](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/541))
#### 1.8.13 – 2026/02/17
* **Fixed root cause of duplicate product metadata** — POS order processing no
longer clones product objects in the stock/coupon path, preventing repeated meta
rows from being re-saved on each stock update ([#537](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/537))
* **Added a safer duplicate-meta repair migration** — a new one-time cleanup removes
only exact duplicate `(post_id, meta_key, meta_value)` rows for POS-touched products/
variations, reducing API payload size and memory pressure without deleting distinct
meta values ([#537](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/537))
* **Expanded regression coverage for discount and stock edge cases** — added tests
for coupon recalculation behavior, variation pricing paths, and stock-reduction
lifecycle to prevent regressions ([#537](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/537))
* **Reduced diagnostic log noise** — high-volume top-meta-key context is now opt-
in so normal logs stay readable while deep diagnostics remain available when
needed ([#537](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/537))
#### 1.8.12 – 2026/02/13
* **One-time cleanup of duplicate metadata** — a migration automatically removes
thousands of junk meta rows that accumulated on POS-touched products and orders,
resolving memory exhaustion and slow API responses on affected stores ([#532](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/532))
* **Reduced redundant order saves in payment gateways** — Card and Cash gateways
no longer call `$order->save()` before `payment_complete()` / `update_status()`,
which already save internally ([#532](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/532))
#### 1.8.11 – 2026/02/13
* **Fixed critical memory exhaustion on large stores** — API responses were re-
reading all metadata from the database on every request, causing extreme memory
usage on stores with large catalogs ([#519](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/519))
* **Fixed O(n²) loop in order tax calculation** — variable shadowing caused quadratic
iteration over line item meta ([#519](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/519))
* **New meta data monitoring** — REST API responses now detect resources with excessive
metadata and fall back to a safe response mode, preventing out-of-memory crashes(
[#521](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/521))
* **Security hardening** — masked auth tokens in test endpoint, added directory
protection for temp receipt templates ([#519](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/519))
* Updated all JS and PHP dependencies to latest stable versions ([#521](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/521),
[#526](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/526))
* Pro: Redesigned Edit Store page with modern React/Tailwind UI
* Pro: Fixed SQL injection vulnerability in analytics and store authorization bypass
#### 1.8.9 – 2026/02/11
* **Completely rebuilt settings page** — new modern architecture with Vite, TanStack
Router, headless UI components, zustand state management, and responsive layout
with grouped sidebar navigation ([#495](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/495),
[#498](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/498), [#505](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/505))
* **New Extensions directory** — browse, discover, and manage extensions directly
from POS settings, with Pro integration hooks, GitHub links, and new-extension
badges ([#497](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/497), [#500](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/500),
[#510](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/510))
* **New Logs page** — view, filter, and paginate log entries from file and database
sources with expandable details and unread counts ([#504](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/504),
[#511](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/511))
* **Redesigned email settings** — granular per-email toggles replace the old on/
off switch, with new cashier notification options ([#502](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/502),
[#508](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/508))
* **Fixed POS prices persisting to product database** — price modifications made
at the POS no longer overwrite the stored product price ([#509](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/509))
* **Fixed coupon calculations ignoring tax** — coupon subtotal filters are now
tax-aware, preventing incorrect discount amounts ([#507](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/507))
* **Fixed security plugin conflicts** — CSP headers are now stripped on POS pages
so Content-Security-Policy rules from security plugins no longer break the interface(
[#503](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/503))
* **Fixed WordPress 6.7+ compatibility** — deferred translation calls in the Activator
to avoid the “too early” notice ([#498](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/498))
#### 1.8.8 – 2026/02/06
* **Completely rebuilt translation system** — switched to i18next with proper plural
handling and regional locale fallback, loaded on-demand from jsDelivr and decoupled
from plugin version updates ([#37](https://github.com/wcpos/monorepo/pull/37),
[#75](https://github.com/wcpos/monorepo/pull/75), [#76](https://github.com/wcpos/monorepo/pull/76),
[#438](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/438), [#439](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/439),
[#474](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/474))
* **Fixed conflict with REST API caching plugins** — POS requests could break entirely
when a REST API caching plugin was active, this is now resolved ([#421](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/421))
* **Fixed expired JWT overriding valid authentication** — an expired token could
silently override a valid cookie session, locking users out unnecessarily ([#472](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/472))
* **POS discounts no longer wiped by coupons** — applying a coupon to an order
with POS-discounted items no longer resets those discounts back to the original
price ([#464](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/464))
* **Fixed misc products showing $0 on receipts** — miscellaneous products now display
the correct price on receipts and order emails ([#436](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/436))
* **Fixed checkout-to-receipt navigation** — no more crashes or lost order links
when completing a sale ([#77](https://github.com/wcpos/monorepo/pull/77))
* **Fixed token refresh on 403 errors** — sessions that appeared “stuck” requiring
a re-login should now refresh automatically ([#74](https://github.com/wcpos/monorepo/pull/74))
* **Fixed store switching issues** — switching between stores no longer causes
errors or blank screens ([da8c05d](https://github.com/wcpos/monorepo/commit/da8c05d))
* **Fixed missing data in received template** — the order received page was missing
link data, now restored ([#476](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/476))
* **Tightened permission checks** — capability checks now properly match what’s
configured on the Access settings page ([#467](https://github.com/wcpos/woocommerce-pos/pull/467))
* **Improved performance during large syncs** — the UI stays responsive while syncing
large product catalogs ([8657e1f](https://github.com/wcpos/monorepo/commit/8657e1f))
* **Fixed web hydration in standalone mode** — the web app loads correctly when
accessed directly without the desktop wrapper ([#19](https://github.com/wcpos/monorepo/pull/19))
