WooCommerce Blocks 6.8.0 Release Notes

A new version of WooCommerce Blocks has been released! Version 6.8.0 is now available for download from GitHub and WordPress.org.

Full-Site Editing templates

This release rolls out some fixes for the Block based Full-Site Editing templates, specifically one regarding custom templates. It also adds Global Styles support for the Price Filter block, Stock Indicator block, Summary Product block, and Product Title block.

WooCommerce Blocks

We fixed a styling issue in the Checkout block when an order has multiple shipping packages.
We’ve also aligned the display of images in product grid blocks with the default way to display product images in WooCommerce: images will be cropped into a square. This change won’t affect any existing blocks, only the ones added from now on. Switching to Full Size images can be done by editing the block.

Dev Notes

The built-in Stripe Payment Method Extension integration has been removed. This has been part of the extension itself since Stripe version 5.2.0 (2021-05-19) and is no longer necessary. If you’re using an older version of Stripe (lower than 5.2.0) you’ll need to update to have the payment method still shown during the Checkout block.

The Cart block now supports some Store API hooks for tweaking some behaviors:

Hook for disable quantity inputs for cart items:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_store_api_product_quantity_editable', function( $quantity, $product, $cart_item )  {
    return false;
}, 10, 3 );

Hook for change the multiple/step property for all cart items:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_store_api_product_quantity_multiple_of', function( $quantity, $product, $cart_item )  {
    return 4;
}, 10, 3 );

Hook for changing the minimum and maximum for all cart item:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_store_api_product_quantity_minimum', function( $quantity, $product, $cart_item )  {
    return 5;
}, 10, 3 );

add_filter( 'woocommerce_store_api_product_quantity_maximum', function( $quantity, $product, $cart_item )  {
    return 30;
}, 10, 3 );

Hook for changing the quantity for products (this affects add to cart events):

add_filter( 'woocommerce_store_api_product_quantity_minimum', function( $quantity, $product, $cart_item )  {
    return 5;
}, 10, 3 );
