Blocks incompatible with gift cards/everything

I’ve already read this, thanks. There are no actual timelines in this doc, just vague terms like “Next” and “Later.” The “85-90% coverage of the extensibility needs” listed under the “Now” section also doesn’t link to any concrete information and many of WooCommerce’s own popular extensions don’t appear on either the “compatible” or “incompatible” list. The only thing I can infer from this doc is that WooCommerce has no obvious plans to improve the legacy checkout flow, and no actual timeline for when Blocks will work with common extensions beyond some payment gateways and shipping services. Without an actual timeline, merchants stay in the dark and continue to lose sales for an indefinite period of time, two years and counting.

OK, thanks. Abandoning Blocks now and seeing what I can do with legacy checkout to minimize the friction of that flow (which WooCommerce confirms converts 20% less than the newer Checkout Block). I’m super disappointed that these are the choices merchants are forced to make. These have huge effects on our livelihoods and families.

Thanks, Tobin! I’ve already jettisoned Blocks and installed the free Fluid Checkout plugin instead. It has the same flow as the Checkout Block but sits on top of the legacy structure, so I didn’t have to sacrifice conversion to switch back. And I can also now use all of the other plugins that are incompatible with Blocks without having to jury rig new connections and styles every time there’s an update. Blocks just isn’t usable enough yet and with no development timeline or plans to integrate with basic extensions like gift cards, I just can’t keep using it. Maybe next year.
