WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway

Changelog

11.0.0 – 2026-09-08

Important Fixes and Updates

• Add – Show a placement simulator on each Customize express checkouts tab that previews where the express checkout button would and wouldn’t appear, with the reason
• Add – Log an error when missing required custom fields block express checkout, with a filter to disable the log
• Fix – Clear the shopper’s cart after a redirect payment method (e.g. Amazon Pay on mobile) completes in a different browser context, preventing duplicate orders
• Fix – Render classic-checkout card fields when a host optimizer defers render-blocking JavaScript (e.g. SiteGround Speed Optimizer)
• Fix – Load a single instance of Stripe.js per page
• Fix – Allow express checkout payments when a wallet provides a one-word shipping name
• Fix – Hide the Apple Pay and Google Pay express buttons on pages unchecked in their own locations setting, instead of following other wallets’ locations
• Fix – Honor subscription renewal payment locks while preserving retry attempts
• Update – Fetch express checkout AJAX nonces on demand instead of embedding them in every page

Other Fixes and Updates

• Fix – Hide country-restricted payment methods (e.g. iDEAL) from Optimized Checkout when the billing country can’t use them
• Fix – Attach a Stripe customer to guest Adaptive Pricing checkouts, linking it to the order and any account created at checkout
• Fix – Stop sending Level 3 data when paying with a non-card payment method through express checkout (e.g. Amazon Pay), which Stripe rejects and can disable Level 3 data for card payments
• Fix – Record the charge-captured state for asynchronously confirmed payments (e.g. ACH) so refunds from wp-admin and the Stripe Dashboard behave correctly
• Fix – Keep the wallet billing and shipping addresses on express checkout orders when the address normalization request returns an unusable response
• Fix – Register Multibanco, OXXO, Boleto, Link, and Cash App Pay hooks only once per request so email instructions and thank-you page content are not duplicated
• Fix – Render the Adaptive Pricing payment element in the store’s Stripe locale
• Fix – Prevent test and live Stripe connections from reusing each other’s cached account data
• Fix – Refresh account details re-evaluates Payment Method Configuration availability so a disabled pmc_enabled flag recovers automatically
• Fix – Reject negative refund amounts with an explicit error instead of silently refunding the absolute value
• Fix – Complete 3DS card payments on Optimized Checkout when the Stripe Payment Method Configuration also has wallet or voucher methods active
• Fix – Remove stale saved payment methods at checkout when the Stripe customer no longer exists, and keep valid ones when Stripe returns a transient API error
• Fix – Hide the save payment method checkbox for Bancontact, iDEAL and Sofort in the Adaptive Pricing checkout on non-EUR stores whose currency excludes them
• Fix – Don’t show currency admin notices for payment methods when Adaptive Pricing is active
• Fix – Reload the plugin’s payment method settings when refreshing account details, so the settings screen no longer keeps showing stale values
• Fix – Leave the Expires column blank instead of showing “N/A” on My Account → Payment methods for saved payment methods that have no expiry date, such as Link, SEPA and Cash App Pay
• Fix – Prevent cart from being emptied after My Account registration when Stripe, WooPayments, and Jetpack are all active by scoping the logged-in cookie update to checkout context only
• Fix – Open all Stripe Dashboard links in admin notices and order notes in a new tab
• Fix – Remove the empty box shown under “Use a new payment method” on classic checkout when the save-payment-method checkbox is hidden
• Fix – Ensure webhook status checks reset API key
• Fix – Keep express checkout and the payment options rendering on the first block checkout load of a free-trial subscription cart
• Add – Use Stripe Dynamic Payment Methods for on-session Optimized Checkout payments so eligible methods follow your Stripe Payment Method Configuration
• Tweak – Dim the button size hint on the Amazon Pay and Link customize tabs so it matches the Apple Pay/Google Pay tab

Internal Changes and Upcoming Features

• Update – Take already-synced products out of in-agent checkout when Agentic Commerce is disabled by pushing a final catalog feed, and stop the recurring product sync while it’s off
• Add – Bulk edit, quick edit, and a sync-status column and filter on the Products list for excluding products from the Agentic Commerce catalog sync
• Add – Show the fuller sync-eligibility verdict in the Products list Agentic Commerce column and link the excluded-products view from the settings page
• Fix – Only sync the Agentic Commerce catalog, inventory, and archive feeds to Stripe after onboarding is complete (the feature is enabled and the webhook secret is saved)
• Fix – Resync the Agentic Commerce catalog when switching between test and live mode, and scope the sync status shown in settings to the active mode
• Fix – Exclude password-protected products and products hidden from the catalog from the Agentic Commerce feed
• Fix – Name password protection and hidden visibility as their own reasons in the Agentic Commerce feed preview
• Dev – Extract Optimized Checkout into a dedicated payment gateway class so the classic UPE and Optimized Checkout flows are handled independently
• Dev – Register Stripe.js through a single shared helper
• Dev – Move hook registration out of the webhook, order, payment token, Apple Pay registration, and Connect handler constructors so repeated instantiation cannot duplicate callbacks
• Dev – Add WC_Stripe::get_settings()/update_settings() as the canonical accessors for the main Stripe settings, with the WC_Stripe_Helper shims delegating to them
• Dev – Remove the deprecated @woocommerce/settings npm package; settings are still read from the wc-settings script WooCommerce provides at runtime
• Dev – Make GITHUB_TOKEN optional for the local E2E Docker setup by falling back to the GitHub CLI and then to plugin zips placed in tests/e2e/deps
• Tweak – Use database cache for webhook status tracking
• Tweak – Disable the Agentic Commerce “Sync now” button until onboarding is complete, with a note explaining the remaining step
