Testing notes and ZIP for release 3.7.1

Note: These tests only apply to the feature plugin, nothing in this release impacts what is exposed in WooCommerce core via package.

Zip file for testing: woocommerce-gutenberg-products-block.zip

All tests require:

• Checkout block published in woo checkout page.
• Items added to cart.
• Anon / incognito user session.

Test 1: Store API will only create an account if store options allow it

1. Render checkout block with Create an account? checkbox. We're going to use a stale copy of the page to submit a checkout API request with should_create_account=true.
   • Ensure WooCommerce > Settings > Accounts & Privacy > Allow customers to create an account during checkout is checked (temporarily enable).
   • Edit checkout page, ensure Allow shoppers to sign up for a user account during checkout is enabled, publish.
2. In another browser/window, view checkout page (with items in cart, as anon user/logged out). Should see Create an account checkbox.
3. Complete checkout form and check Create an account. Do not submit (yet).
4. As admin, disable WooCommerce > Settings > Accounts & Privacy > Allow customers to create an account during checkout and save settings.
5. Submit checkout (with should_create_account=true).
6. Ensure no account is created for the customer, and the order is processed correctly.

As an alternative to (1), could also hack the JS REST request to always send should_create_account=true, or use other approaches to call the API with that value set.

Test 2: Checkout block will only offer to create an account if store options allow it

1. As admin, disable WooCommerce > Settings > Accounts & Privacy > Allow customers to create an account during checkout and save settings.
2. View checkout page and ensure there is no Create an account checkbox.
3. Repeat the above test with different block settings and ensure no checkbox is displayed unless store option is enabled. E.g. allow checkout signup in settings, enable block Allow shoppers to sign up for a user account during checkout setting, publish, change store setting and refresh page.

Other possible tests

• Repeat similar tests with a custom plugin implementing woocommerce_checkout_registration_enabled hook to disable checkout signup.
• Test various combinations of store settings (e.g. guest checkout Allow customers to place orders without an account) and ensure that accounts are created when appropriate.
• Test with WooCommerce < v4.7 and ensure that checkout block sign-up feature is not available, and there is no way to sign up using checkout block.
