help WooCommerce Blocks FAQ
Can I build a WooCommerce store layout without writing PHP?
WooCommerce Blocks work inside the WordPress block editor and support visual editing of product, cart, and checkout layouts. A block theme can let a store owner change many sections without hand-coding a template.
What does the WooCommerce Checkout block actually include?
The Checkout block contains Checkout Fields and Checkout Totals, with payment options shown according to the configured gateway. WooCommerce also supports express methods such as WooPay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay when the relevant gateway is active.
Can developers add custom features to WooCommerce Checkout Blocks?
Yes, but block-based checkout extensions use JavaScript rather than relying only on old shortcode hooks. WooCommerce documents the @woocommerce/extend-cart-checkout-block package for extending cart and checkout areas.
How is the WooCommerce Checkout block different from the classic checkout shortcode?
The block checkout is made from editable inner blocks, while the classic flow commonly uses the [woocommerce_checkout] shortcode. Payment fields and other sections behave dynamically in the block version, so some older PHP customizations may need a block-specific implementation.
