CC Compatibility for Woo Addons 1
All extensions compatible with WooCommerce 3.5.3 should still be usable provided they do not rely on Jetpack or WooCommerce Services. However, many plugins and extensions will check for the existence of woocommerce/woocommerce.php in the plugins folder prior to their activation. To circumvent this issue we have created this special compatibility plugin.
CC Plugin Checker for WC/CC migration 1
The CC Plugin Checker gives you a quick look at the “WC requires at least” tags on all your WooCommerce plugins, which is very useful if you are considering moving a site from WC to CC. The plugin shows you a list of all your plugins and displays any WC tags it finds. You just need to check the “requires at least” column to make sure it is 3.5.3 or less.
