WooCommerce Blocks 6.0.1 Release Notes

WooCommerce Blocks 6.0.1 Release Notes

WooCommerce Blocks 6.0.1 Release Notes

A new version of WooCommerce Blocks has been released! Version 6.0.1 is now available for download from GitHub and WordPress.org.

WooCommerce Blocks offers a range of Gutenberg blocks you can use to build and customize your site.


WooCommerce Blocks 6.0.1 New Features

This release is packed with new features, an updated Checkout block, a new Terms and Condition block, global styles for reviews blocks, new extensibility for filtering payment methods, and several bug fixes!


    What’s New in the Checkout block?

    The new iteration takes the existing design of the Checkout Block and converts it to use Inner Blocks. What this means for the end-user is that instead of having a fixed layout Checkout Block, they are instead given a checkout constructed out of many smaller blocks, with more control over each.

    As an example, look at the Contact Information section in the existing Checkout. All options are shown at Checkout Block level, including options related to contact Information:

    Now, this has become its own block, with its own settings:

    Additionally, blocks such as the Contact Information Block have their own Inner Block areas, meaning a user can insert other optional blocks in this area without code:

    From a developer perspective, this means the Checkout block is more extensible than ever because new blocks can be registered and either force inserted into a specific area, or made available to users in the Block inserter.


    Terms and Conditions Block

    We heard your suggestions, and took the opportunity to also introduce a Terms and Conditions block. This block was one of the main motivations for this update to the Checkout block. To create a Terms and Condition block, we needed to make the editing experience easier.

    The block can function as a required checkbox, or just as text.

    Extending the Checkout block

    The Checkout block can now be extended by introducing third-party blocks inside it. Developers can create blocks that forced into the Checkout layout or optional (like the Terms and Conditions block). Keep an eye on this blog as we will share a guide into how to extend the Checkout block soon.


    What’s happening next

    This release includes a lot of leg work needed to update the Cart block to use innerBlocks as well, so keep an eye for that soon. Are you wondering what we have we’re working on currently and in the future? Read more over on our recent post giving you a peek into the WooCommerce Blocks roadmap.


    Global Styles for reviews blocks

    6.0.1 patch release

    This post includes both the release post for 6.0.0 but also 6.0.1 which was released right after 6.0.0 to fix a migration bug in the Checkout block on the frontend. This bug affects Checkout blocks that have custom class names or alignment added to them, which prevented the block from loading in the frontend unless resaved.
