WooCommerce Blocks 9.7.0 & 9.7.1 Release Notes

A new version of WooCommerce Blocks has been released! Version 9.7.1 is now available for download from GitHub and WordPress.org.

Notable changes

New Blocks

We’re thrilled to introduce the following new blocks for the Single Product Template. This is our first iteration to port over existing functionalities of the Single Product template to the Site Editor.

• Single Product Details block: The block version of the product details in the Single Product Template. Merchants can now add product descriptions, information, and reviews to their stores.
• Add to Cart Form block: The block version of the add to cart form enables merchants to display a button in single product templates. Options are also displayed depending on product type. e.g. quantity, variation.

Disabling payment gateways stops associated saved payment information from displaying

We have improved our payment system by preventing saved cards from displaying if the payment gateway that added them is disabled. This ensures that users only see available and enabled payment options, making the payment process more efficient and straightforward.

Clearer Checkout Events in the Payment System

We have made changes to the checkout events in our payment system to improve clarity and reduce confusion. Several events were renamed to improve their accuracy and clarity:

• onCheckoutValidationBeforeProcessing renamed to onCheckoutValidation
• onCheckoutAfterProcessingWithSuccess renamed to onCheckoutSuccess
• onCheckoutAfterProcessingWithError renamed to onCheckoutFail
• onPaymentProcessing renamed to onPaymentSetup

Fix: Product categories, Product Tags & Keyword filters not working in the Products block

The following filters should be working fine, which are available in the Inspector Controls of the Products block:

• Product Categories
• Product tags
• Keyword
