  • A new version of WooCommerce Blocks has been released! Version 7.4.2 is now available for download from GitHub and WordPress.org.

    This release introduces the new Cart & Checkout Inner Blocks architecture and contains a Filter Products by Price improvement, and some bug fixes.

    Cart & Checkout: Customization & Extensibility

    In making the Cart & Checkout blocks more customizable, we are working on breaking them down into inner blocks. This will allow us to insert, move, edit & optimize each inner block:

    • Insert: Inserting blocks into available areas in the block, just like you would insert a regular block.
    • Move: Using the native, accessible moving API that Gutenberg exposes.
    • Edit: Every step and third-party section is a full-fledged block with its settings and editing capabilities.
    • Optimize: The checkout experience by safeguarding the checkout flow and order.

    You can test the power of Inner Blocks with the Cart Block and Checkout Block “order summary” new structure:

    Cart block before:
    The Order summary block

    Cart block after:
    The Order summary block

    Selection of an Order summary Inner block

  • A new version of WooCommerce Blocks has been released! Version 7.3.0 is now available for download from GitHub and WordPress.org.

    This release contains some changes for Mini Cart Block, WooCommerce block templates and more.

    Mini Cart

    This release brings the Mini Cart block to the WooCommerce Blocks Feature Plugin. Meaning with the plugin now installed and activated it will be available from the Site Editor (when using a block theme) and the widget screen (when using a classic theme).

    Legacy Block to Classic Block

    We’ve also renamed all instances of the “Legacy Block” (The placeholder block which renders Woo PHP templates on the frontend) to the “Classic Block”.

    Product Ratings Block

    We were able to add Global Styles font size and spacing support to the Product Rating block. This means you can now include this block in a template if you’re using the full site editor, and change its appearance everywhere it appears on your site from one place.

  • A new version of WooCommerce Blocks has been released! Version 7.2.0 is now available for download from GitHub and WordPress.org. WooCommerce Blocks 7.2.0 will also be included in WooCommerce 6.4.

    This release contains some fixes for the Mini Cart Block, and some further improvements for the Store API in preparation for the next release of WooCommerce core.

    Dev Notes

    Renamed headers

    As part of finalising the Store API, we’ve removed all X- prefixes from the customer response headers (doing so is no longer a recommended practice).

    The X-WC-Store-API-Nonce header has been renamed to Nonce, so if you’ve been consuming the experimental Store API, this will need to be renamed in your client.

    This change also includes X-WC-Store-Api-Nonce-Timestamp to Nonce-Timestamp and X-WC-Store-User to User-ID.

    See #6020 for further details.

    Renamed classes and namespaces

    Also part of finalising the Store API, we renamed some of our classes and namespaces.

    The ExtendRestApi class is now ExtendSchema and it now lives under the Automattic\WooCommerce\StoreApi\Schemas namespace.

    The Automattic\WooCommerce\Blocks\RestApi class has been renamed to Automattic\WooCommerce\StoreApi\StoreApi.

    The namespace Automattic\WooCommerce\Blocks\StoreApi is now Automattic\WooCommerce\StoreApi.

    Read #5982 for more details.

    ExtendRestApi ExtendSchema public functions

    You no longer need to call the package manager and get ExtendRestApi ExtendSchema from it, you can call those public functions for the same task:

    • woocommerce_store_api_register_endpoint_data( $args )
    • woocommerce_store_api_register_update_callback( $args )
    • woocommerce_store_api_register_payment_requirements( $args )
    • woocommerce_store_api_get_formatter( $name )

    Those functions receive the same args as the class ones (they’re wrappers).

    See #5941.

    Changelog

    Bug Fixes

    • StoreAPI: Clear all wc notice types in the cart validation context #5983
    • Fix loading more WC core translations in locales where WC Blocks is not localized for some strings. #6036
    • Ensure shipping address is set for virtual orders to prevent missing country errors. #6050

    Enhancements

    • Memoize/cache filter results so that we don’t call third party filters too often #5143

    Various

    • Remove v1 string from Store Keys. (5987)
    • Introduce the InvalidCartException for handling cart validation. (5904)
    • Renamed Store API custom headers to remove X-WC-Store-API prefixes. #5983
    • Normalised Store API error codes #5992
    • Deprecated woocommerce_blocks_checkout_order_processed in favour of woocommerce_store_api_checkout_order_processed
    • Deprecated woocommerce_blocks_checkout_update_order_meta in favour of woocommerce_store_api_checkout_update_order_meta
    • Deprecated woocommerce_blocks_checkout_update_order_from_request in favour of woocommerce_store_api_checkout_update_order_from_request

  • We’ve just started rolling out automatic updates with patches for WooCommerce 3.5–6.3. This fix contains important security improvements for the PayPal Standard payment gateway (deprecated since July 2021). Please make sure to update your site if you don’t get the update automatically.

    For users who still run the PayPal Standard payment gateway, we strongly recommend switching to PayPal Payments plugin, as PayPal Standard is no longer actively developed. We’ve prepared a handy upgrade guide to make the migration process easier.

    All users of older WooCommerce versions (pre-3.5) need to disable PayPal Standard and migrate to the PayPal Payments plugin to be safe, if they wish to continue using PayPal.

  • A new version of WooCommerce Blocks has been released! Version 7.1.0 is now available for download from GitHub and WordPress.org.

    Seamless styling control

    Our continued focus is to empower you with the best tools WordPress has to offer to customize your store the way you want.

    In this release, we continue to add Global Styles support to even more blocks and improve the editor capabilities and options to give you control where and when you need it.

    More is happening behind the scenes, so, if you haven’t yet gotten excited about global styles, now it’s the time to dive in and learn more about them!

    A commitment to stability and compatibility

    As we work towards the inclusion of the Store API in WooCommerce Core, we introduce versioning to the Store API in this release. This means endpoints can now be reached via wc/store/v1/ as well as wc/store/. We’ve ensured this does not break compatibility with the existing structure which continues to map to v1.

    For more details and stability improvements, please take a look at the changelog below:
