WooCommerce Core Bug Fixes

Coupon usage should be possible if canceling payment via the originally selected payment method

https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/pull/27179

To test:

  • Create a coupon (for example, test-30) that gives 30% discount to the customer:

  • Set the usage limit to 1 per coupon and 1 per user:

  • Enable PayPal and Cash on delivery payment methods (you don't need to set up PayPal for the purpose of testing this bug. The fact that it is enabled is enough):

  • At the front-end of the site, add the product to cart and apply a coupon:

  • Move on to the Checkout page. The coupon should still be there. Click on Proceed to PayPal for payment:

  • On the PayPal login page, cancel proceeding and go back to the site:

  • You should be redirected back to the Cart page. Verify that the coupon still exists in your cart and that if you checkout successfully (either with PayPal if you had it set up, or another payment method such as Cash on delivery), the coupon is still applied.

  • Verify that after using the coupon successfully, the usage restrictions are still enforced. You should not be able to use the coupon a second time.

Coupon code with an ampersand should be consistent between logged in user and guest

https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/pull/27140

To test:

  • Create a coupon with code a&a.
  • Create a coupon with code b&b.
  • Add a product to the cart as a logged-in user.
  • Apply the coupon a&a in the cart, and confirm that the coupon is applied.
  • Apply the coupon b&b in the cart, and confirm that the coupon is applied.
  • Add a product to the cart when not logged in (guest user).
  • Apply the coupon a&a in the cart, and confirm that the coupon is applied.
  • Apply the coupon b&b in the cart, and confirm that the coupon is applied.

Search for variations should fallback to parent SKU if variation SKU is not entered

https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/pull/27171

To test:

  • Create a variable product with two variations.
  • Set SKU on the parent product:

  • Set SKU only on one of the variations:

  • Create a manual order and click on the button to add products to it.
  • Search for parent SKU. Confirm that the variation without the SKU will show up in the results.
  • Search for variation SKU and confirm that the variation with the SKU will show up in the results.

Order details page not displaying variation/attribute name

https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/pull/27115

To test:

  • Create a variable product with 1 variation.
  • Create a variable product with 2 variations.
  • Create a variable product with 3 variations.
  • Create a variable product with 4 variations.

If you don't want to spend time creating these products, you can download this CSV file that has 4 variable products for testing and import it to your site.

  • Place an order for the 4 products above on the site.
  • Confirm that when you add products to cart, the variations you selected are visible there:
    • Products with 1 and 2 variations should have the names of the variations listed next to the product name;
    • Products with 3 and 4 variations should have the names of the variations listed under the product name.

  • Place an order and navigate to the order page in the back end.
  • Confirm that on the order page, the variations you selected are visible there in the same way they are visible in the cart:
    • Products with 1 and 2 variations should have the names of the variations listed next to the product name;
    • Products with 3 and 4 variations should have the names of the variations listed under the product name.

Fix "Filter by attribute" widget - it is now working for "Any..." attributes

https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/pull/27508

To test:

  • Start with an empty shop (no products).
  • Create an attribute named "Color" with three terms, e.g. "Black", "White", "Blue" (by navigating to Products / Attributes).
  • Create an attribute named "Style" with three terms, e.g. "Classic", "Sport", "Beach" (by navigating to Products / Attributes).
  • Add a "Filter Products by Attribute" widget to either the sidebar or the footer, to filter by "Color" (by navigating to Appearance / Widgets).
  • Add a variable product in which the "Color" attribute is used for all variations, with one variation per color.
  • Load the shop, verify that the filter by color widget is displaying all three colors, with a count of 1 for each.
  • Add a second variable product, but this time use the "Style" attribute to generate all variations.
  • After the three style variations have been created, add "Color" as an additional variation attribute with all three values. Now the existing variations should automatically get "Any..." as the value for the color attribute:

  • Reload the shop. "Filter Products by Attribute" widget on the site should display 2 for each color (it's counting the "Any..." product now).
  • Set one of the variations to "Out of stock". Reload the shop and verify that the value of the counters hasn't changed.
  • Set all the variations to "Out of stock". Reload the shop and verify that the value of the counters is now 1 (and now the product doesn't display in the shop). Set the variations to "In stock" again.
  • Remove the "Color" attribute from the product, reload the shop, and verify that all counters go back to 1.
