woocommerce_no_available_payment_methods_message + gutenberg

Hello Jairo Ochoa,

Thank you for contacting WooCommerce support.

I understand you’re asking about using the woocommerce_no_available_payment_methods_message hook with the new Gutenberg checkout block.

If you’re using the new Checkout block instead of the [woocommerce_checkout] shortcode, the hook you mentioned won’t work as the new block is built differently.

Could you tell me more about the message that appears when no payment method exists?
I might be able to suggest an alternate solution.

Best regards.

Hi @doublezed2

We have developed a Theme Settings were the shop manager can change the message.
Usually during holidays they disable payments method and the hook shows a message “We are on holidays, we will be back on September 1st”.
This is more friendly than “There are no payments methods”

If we use?[woocommerce_checkout] shortcode it works like charm but new block do not support this hook and it would be great if this hook would not be discontinued.

PD: same for no shipping methods hook in cart and check out

Hello Jairo Ochoa,

Thank you for the clarification.

The new checkout block is built with ReactJS, so the old hooks used with the Checkout shortcode aren’t compatible.

I recommend consulting a web developer to create code that works with the new checkout.
You can find experienced WooCommerce developers on Codeable.io and WooExperts.com.

Hi @doublezed2

We are developers, we have developed many plugins !
What I cannot understand why the hook does not work even though it uses ReactJS.
It makes no sense that something useful that WooCommerce supports be removed.

Hi @jairoochoa,

I understand your concern about the hook not working as expected, despite using ReactJS.

While we may not be able to fully answer customization questions, I recommend joining our WooCommerce Slack community (it does have a developer channel where you can ask coding questions): https://woo.com/community-slack/

Hope it gets you going.

Cheers!

Hi @ckadenge

We are able to get a fix using JS, for instance.
Or even, the easiest way, using again [woocommerce_checkout]
My “complaint” is why this hook has been removed.
Having removed it is step backward.

Could you please clarify how the “woocommerce_no_available_payment_methods_message” uses ReactJS?

My “complaint” is why this hook has been removed.

To clarify, the hook has not been removed since it is working fine with the Checkout Shortcode.
It is simply not compatible with the new Checkout Block.
The new Checkout Block is still evolving and new features are being developed.

Hi @doublezed2

From your first reply I understood that the Gutenberg block works with ReactJS and this is the reason why the hook does not work.
I cannot understand why because the message is not created by ReactJS, it cames from any PHP and the hook can be run in the right moment despite of how the front is created.

To clarify, the hook has not been removed since it is working fine with the Checkout Shortcode.

I know. I mean removed from the block or in fact, not yet included.

Front my point of view blocks cannot be worse than shortcode and should do (at least) the same.

We could develop a fix with JS enqueuing a 3 lines JS in the footer but it would work only form our shops. It’s a nonsense.

There are a lot of plugins which add fields or modify the cart and checkout, and many of then do not work with the new blocks. And many users are not aware that the auto-generated pages of cart and checkout now include a block instead of a shortcode. And they wonder why the VAT-ID is not showing in the page (this example told me yesterday a customer which has made a shop)

Currently, the only way to address the issue you are experiencing is by implementing custom JS code.
