Changelog

The latest features, upgrades, and bug fixes for China Payments Plugin.

Version 3.5.8 - June 24, 2026

  • Fix: WeChat Pay, Alipay, and UnionPay now appear and work on the WooCommerce Checkout block again (they were missing from the block checkout due to a packaging issue). Classic checkout was unaffected.

  • Fix: When a payment fails, customers can now retry it from the order-pay page (My Account → Orders) — WeChat Pay and Alipay are shown there instead of "no available payment methods."

  • Fix: LifterLMS — after paying with WeChat Pay or Alipay, students are taken straight to their course success page instead of being left on the payment-confirmation screen.

  • Improvement: Consistent WeChat Pay, Alipay, and UnionPay icon sizing on the WooCommerce Checkout block.

Version 3.5.7 - June 24, 2026

  • Fix: UnionPay now works on the classic checkout, not just the Checkout block — the card field appears and the payment completes. (Previously it stalled with no card field and left the order unpaid.) WeChat Pay and Alipay are unchanged.

  • Fix (security): The UnionPay card step now keeps its after-payment redirect on your own site.

  • Improvement: The WeChat Pay, Alipay, and UnionPay icons now show at a consistent size and line up with their labels at checkout.

Version 3.5.6 - June 6, 2026

  • Improvement: Stripe payment-confirmation webhooks are now acknowledged instantly and the order is completed in the background, so a burst of payments can no longer slow down or tie up your site. Order completion is unchanged and stays safe against duplicate or retried webhooks.

Version 3.5.5 - May 31, 2026

  • Fix: The plugin is now properly translated. Its translations previously never loaded (the loader referenced the wrong text domain) and weren't bundled. All 13 community translations from WordPress.org — Danish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish, and Simplified Chinese — now ship with the plugin and apply automatically based on your site language.

  • Fix: Automatic Stripe webhook creation failed on connected accounts (missing the required api_version parameter), so payment-confirmation webhooks were never registered and order completion fell back to the 24-hour cron. Webhooks now register correctly on connect.

  • Fix: Resolved an admin JavaScript error ("Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'first_name')") that could block the Stripe Connect button from working.

  • Improvement: Storefront localization now applies WordPress's full installed language pack for the chosen locale (WordPress core, WooCommerce, blocks, theme, and plugin strings), with the plugin's curated overrides still on top. A new setting lets you force any installed language — not only Chinese. The WordPress admin stays in your site language.

Version 3.5.4 - May 28, 2026

  • Build: Cleaner customer ZIP — dev configs (phpunit.xml.dist, phpcs.xml.dist, phpstan.neon, playwright.config.js, .wp-env.json) no longer ship inside the plugin. All tests + dev tooling now live in our separate testing-suite repo. Customer-facing plugin code is byte-identical to 3.5.3.

Version 3.5.3 - May 27, 2026

  • Fix: Correct Stripe minor-unit conversion for 9 PaymentIntent.amount sites. Previously, intval( floatval( $amount ) * 100 ) could silently truncate $X.99 amounts by 1 cent (e.g. $0.99 → 98 cents) due to PHP float drift. Now routed through a new ChinaPayments\Core\CurrencyHelper::to_stripe_amount() that uses round-half-up and a full Stripe-spec 0-/2-/3-decimal currency map (16 zero-decimal currencies incl. BIF / MGA / VND / JPY; 5 three-decimal currencies BHD / KWD / OMR / JOD / TND).

  • Fix: Stripe webhook now returns proper HTTP 400 on unsigned or invalid-signature payloads. Previously http_response_code() was a no-op inside the WP REST controller, causing all failure responses to ship as HTTP 200 (Stripe interprets 200 as "stop retrying"). Switched all responses to new WP_REST_Response( $body, $status ).

  • Fix: Webhook now catches \Stripe\Exception\SignatureVerificationException explicitly, returning 400 instead of 500 on bad signatures.

  • Security: Migration AJAX handler (wp_ajax_china_payments_migration_handler) now verifies a check_ajax_referer() nonce in addition to its existing capability check.

  • i18n: Two __( 'Order' ) calls in the WooCommerce gateway were missing the wp-stripe-global-payments text domain — now translatable. One __() call in the payment-gateway REST file had a stray third argument (silently misclassifying the text domain) — corrected.

  • Compat: WooCommerce HPOS (custom order tables) compatibility declaration locked under regression tests.

Version 3.5.2 - May 18, 2026

  • Compat: WP 7.0 readiness (Tested up to 7.0).

  • Compat: Declared HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) compatibility for WooCommerce 8.x+. Removes the "Plugin is not compatible" warning on stores with the new custom-order-tables data store enabled.

  • Fix: UnionPay icon max-width set to 128px to match its native aspect ratio in WooCommerce classic + block checkouts (was rendering too small).
