From WooCommerce 8.2, released in October 2023, High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) is officially stable andenabled by default for new installations.
It's surprising that MWB has decided to release an add-on for HPOS compatibility at an additional cost of $200/year, rather than incorporating it into their standard plugin.
This feature should be a part of the default offering, especially considering the growing importance of WooCommerce within the ecommerce ecosystem. Currently, WooCommerce powers around 40% of all online stores, and it plays a major role in enabling businesses worldwide.
Forcing users to pay extra for a fundamental update like HPOS compatibility undermines the trust of the community and creates unnecessary friction.
This issue doesn't just impact MWB users but also HubSpot, given that MWB is the primary integration partner for many ecommerce businesses using HubSpot.
We kindly encourage HubSpot to work with MWB to ensure that HPOS compatibility becomes part of the core offering, providing your users with the optimal experience expected from modern e-commerce platforms.
