## Description
**Gsoft Labs Blocks Compatibility Scanner for WooCommerce** helps WooCommerce store
owners assess their readiness to switch from Classic Cart and Checkout to the new
WooCommerce Cart and Checkout Blocks. It scans your active plugins, theme, payment
gateways, shipping methods, and custom checkout fields, gives you a readiness score,
and helps you migrate supported fields using the official Additional Checkout Fields
API.

This plugin is developed by Gsoft Labs and is not affiliated with or endorsed by
Automattic or the WooCommerce project. “WooCommerce” is a trademark of Automattic
Inc., referenced here only to describe compatibility.
#### What the plugin does
* Scans 7 areas: store configuration, plugins, Classic hooks, theme, payment gateways,
shipping methods, and custom fields.
* Calculates a weighted readiness score (0–100%) with a clear message.
* Lists every Classic Checkout hook detected in your plugins and theme, with the
inferred purpose and the recommended Blocks alternative.
* Assesses every enabled payment gateway and shipping method for Blocks compatibility.
* Detects custom checkout fields and migrates supported types (text, checkbox,
select, radio, number, textarea) using `woocommerce_register_additional_checkout_field()`.
* Creates a private draft test Checkout Blocks page so you can test without touching
your live checkout.
* Provides a full testing checklist to complete before switching.
* Generates developer logs (JSON, TXT, CSV) for debugging — no passwords, API keys,
or customer PII included.
* Provides manual guidance for features that cannot be automatically migrated (
fees, conditionals, date pickers, file uploads, unknown gateways).
#### Safety rules
* The plugin never changes your live checkout page without an explicit, confirmed
admin action.
* Test pages are draft/private, no-indexed, and never assigned as WooCommerce cart
or checkout pages.
* Scanning never processes real payments.
* The readiness score is an assessment, not a guarantee.
* This plugin never sends any data to Gsoft Labs or any third party. All scanning
and reporting happens locally on your site.
#### Field migration
The free core plugin can migrate these field types via the Additional Checkout Fields
API:
* Text, email, tel, URL, hidden, password registered as text
* Checkbox registered as checkbox
* Select / dropdown registered as select
* Radio buttons registered as select (with a warning)
* Number registered as text with numeric pattern (with a warning)
* Textarea registered as text (with a warning)
Fields requiring manual setup (date pickers, file uploads, complex conditionals)
are identified with guidance cards.
#### Requirements
* WordPress 6.0 or later
* WooCommerce 8.9 or later (Additional Checkout Fields API)
* PHP 7.4 or later

## Installation
1. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/gsoft-labs-blocks-compatibility-scanner-
for-woocommerce/`.
2. Activate the plugin in the WordPress admin.
3. Go to **WB Compat** in the admin menu to run your first scan.
## FAQ
### Will this plugin change my live checkout?
No. The scanner never changes your live cart or checkout page without an explicit,
confirmed admin action. Creating the test page only creates a private draft page
that is never assigned as your WooCommerce checkout.
### Is the readiness score a guarantee?
No. The score is an assessment based on detected compatibility signals. Manual testing
is always required before switching your live checkout. The plugin’s guidance page
includes a full pre-switch checklist.
### What happens to my custom checkout fields after migration?
Migrated fields are registered using `woocommerce_register_additional_checkout_field()`
and appear on the Checkout Blocks form. They are saved to the order and can be displayed
in the admin and customer emails.
### What field types cannot be migrated automatically?
Date pickers, file upload fields, and fields with complex conditional logic cannot
be migrated by the free core plugin. Guidance cards explain what to do for each
unsupported type.
### Does the plugin support multisite?
The plugin has not been tested on WordPress Multisite. Use on single-site installations
only.
### Is any data sent to a third party?
No. This plugin does not connect to any external service, API, or analytics platform.
All scanning, scoring, and field migration happens entirely on your own site.

## Changelog
#### 1.1.6
* Declared WooCommerce as a required plugin (`Requires Plugins: woocommerce`).
* Aligned the translation text domain with the WordPress.org plugin slug.
* Hardened shipping-method plugin path detection so it works with both Linux and
Windows path separators.
* Translated the test-checkout checklist labels as literal strings so they can
be extracted for translation.
* Set the plugin homepage to https://gsoftlabs.com/woocommerceblockscanner/.
#### 1.1.5
* Included `composer.json` and `composer.lock` in the distribution package for
transparency (the plugin uses Composer’s PSR-4 autoloading; the generated autoloader
in `vendor/` is now produced by a genuine `composer install` rather than a hand-
written substitute).
* Kept Composer metadata in the package and excluded the Composer executable (`
composer.phar`) from the distribution.
* Clarified the WordPress.org short description so the plugin homepage link lives
only in the full Description.
#### 1.1.4
* Declared compatibility with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (`custom_order_tables`).
This plugin never reads or writes order data (it only manages its own settings,
scan results, and disposable test pages), so it is safe to declare.
#### 1.1.3
* The Developer Logs export handler now sanitizes `wcbcs_export` with `sanitize_key()`
at the very first point it is read from `$_GET`, instead of only checking `empty()`
on the raw superglobal first.
#### 1.1.2
* Removed the remaining inline `style` attributes (`Charts.php`, `CustomFields.
php`, `Onboarding.php`, `Dashboard.php`, `SettingsPage.php`). The per-area readiness
bar chart now renders as a native `
