Updates
Updates are free. When a new version is out, it appears in Dashboard › Updates of your WordPress site and you can install it in one click, or turn on automatic updates in Plugins. This works for the zip downloaded from your Woo-Plugins account; older copies can be replaced by downloading the latest version from My plugins. See the changelog.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work with the block checkout?
Yes. Field rules use the WooCommerce options and address rules that the block checkout and the Store API follow, so orders are validated the same way.
Can I still collect the address for physical products?
Yes. The digital rule only applies when nothing in the cart needs shipping.
