* Checkout Blocks compatibility – Added supported Checkout Custom Fields to Blocks checkout with server-side validation, order saving, customer-facing display, and product, category, and cart visibility rules on supported WooCommerce versions.
* Checkout Blocks compatibility – Improved Store API-aware gateway fee recalculation while retaining precise Classic-only limits for textarea fields, checkout-field-conditional fees, and checkout file collection.
* HPOS compatibility – Modernized Order Numbers, Checkout Files Upload, PDF Invoicing, Checkout Custom Fields, Product Addons, and Product Input Fields across order creation, admin, account, email, and document workflows.
* Performance – Added request-scoped reuse for input-field configuration, invoice types, fee rules, gateway cart products, and Checkout Custom Field conditions, reducing repeated parsing and metadata work.
* Reliability – Preserved conditional fees through guest account creation, moved add-on order data to WooCommerce line-item APIs, batched checkout-file saves, and improved safe fallbacks.
* Admin experience – Expanded module-specific Checkout Blocks and HPOS status tables with actionable supported, partial, and Classic-only guidance.
* Tier-specific value – Applied these improvements across Plus-owned multi-field, rule, upload, add-on, and input configurations without adding or implying Elite-only controls.
* Security hardening – Strengthened validation and request handling in selected customer-facing workflows.
