Troubleshooting

Nothing can be done from the app side to handle errors that arise, so be sure to review the known issues with setup at: Troubleshooting the WooCommerce iOS app.

We track everything and reach out to authors when conflicts are reported to us, and then update the list as items are patched.

Frequently Asked Questions

I was/am using the previous iOS app, do I need to use the current version?

It’s totally up to you. Both apps remain available: The former (legacy) and the current.

A notification will display, alerting you that a new iOS app for WooCommerce is available. The new app does not update or write over the previous one so nothing is lost.

Both WooCommerce iOS apps may be installed and used simultaneously on your device because they run on different platforms – one is a standalone app, and one is using Jetpack. The work independently from each other.

This is also the reason it’s possible to have the same store connected to both apps.

Why do I need Jetpack?

The Jetpack plugin enables a connection from your self-hosted site to a WordPress.com account and provides a common authentication interface across disparate server configurations and architectures. More info at: Woo Halo – Why is Jetpack required for mobile apps?

I logged in, but my store does not appear in the list to select. Why?

It could be one of two reasons.

• Only WordPress.com stores and self-hosted sites with WooCommerce and Jetpack plugins installed are displayed in the list of available options.
• WooCommerce 3.5 or higher is required. If a store does not meet this requirement, an Update to WooCommerce 3.5 required message will display.
