HPOS

High-Performance Order Storage. WooCommerce's modern order-storage backend, introduced as opt-in in WooCommerce 7.1 and default in 8.2+, replacing the legacy custom-post-type storage model.

In depth

HPOS stores orders in dedicated database tables, which dramatically improves order-list performance on high-volume stores. Emporiqa's WooCommerce plugin is HPOS-compatible: it reads orders through the abstraction layer and does not assume the legacy post-meta storage model.
