This week I focused on improving the WooCommerce POS receipt email flow across platforms. I contributed a core WooCommerce change that makes the email template selection automatic on the server side, allowing clients to omit the template_id for WooCommerce 10.7.0 and above. I shipped the corresponding update to the iOS app, threading this logic through the networking and POS layers so bookings and refunded orders send the correct receipt emails without extra client complexity. I also started work on the same fix for Android to keep behavior consistent. In addition, I began implementing auto-reconnection support for Stripe Bluetooth card readers on iOS, making the app more resilient to unexpected disconnects.
