Handling of expired checkout sessions
There are some scenarios where a WooCommerce checkout session can become invalid or expired. Once expired, the checkout is no longer completable, and checkout must be restarted to complete the transaction—but this isn’t exactly clear to the end user, as attempting to complete the expired checkout session will throw generic error messages that don’t explain why.
Our modal checkout experience will now detect these scenarios and automatically reload the modal with the same parameters as the expired session.
In most cases, the reloaded checkout modal will skip ahead to the payment screen, allowing the user to immediately re-enter payment details to complete the transaction. If the product is giftable, then the modal will reload to the first screen but with billing details pre-filled, to allow gift options to be selected.
Campaigns: Add consistency to how custom and manual prompts handle other criteria
We recently discovered a discrepancy where prompts using manual placements would respect settings like limiting them to specific post types or taxonomies, but prompts using custom placements did not.
In this release, we’ve made this behavior more consistent: now both manual and custom placed prompts will follow the visibility rules if you’ve limited them by post type or taxonomy. This does change how custom placements work; if you would like them to continue working the same way as before, you just need to remove the post type or taxonomy restrictions using the prompt settings.
