Test using WordPress Playground

The changes in this pull request can previewed and tested using a WordPress Playground instance.

WordPress Playground is an experimental project that creates a full WordPress instance entirely within the browser.

Some things to be aware of

• The Plugin and Theme Directories cannot be accessed within Playground.
• All changes will be lost when closing a tab with a Playground instance.
• All changes will be lost when refreshing the page.
• A fresh instance is created each time the link below is clicked.
• Every time this pull request is updated, a new ZIP file containing all changes is created. If changes are not reflected in the Playground instance,
  it's possible that the most recent build failed, or has not completed. Check the list of workflow runs to be sure.

For more details about these limitations and more, check out the Limitations page in the WordPress Playground documentation.

Test this pull request with WordPress Playground.

@calvinrodrigues500 thank you for working on this PR!

I like that it shows how to set up a WooCommerce shop with a custom product and shipping.

Would it be also possible to set up some form of payment method like Direct Bank Transfers? This would allow users to fully experience the checkout flow.

@bgrgicak Thank you for your feedback!

I'll work on adding a payment method to provide a complete checkout experience.
I'll update the PR as soon as it's ready.

Would the default WooCommerce product import be a better fit for this?

It has more products with all standard types (simple, variable) and would make testing of WooCommerce easier.

@calvinrodrigues500 what do you think about using the default WooCommerce product import here?

[bgrgicak]

Thanks for the changes @calvinrodrigues500!

I wasn't initially sure if this should be a separate demo or could be added to existing demos, but the more I think about it, this is a really good minimal WooCommerce setup for testing.

[calvinrodrigues500]

@bgrgicak Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad the setup works well for testing. If there's anything else you'd like me to adjust or improve, feel free to let me know.

@bgrgicak I have updated the code to use default WC products XML.

@adamziel
Sorry for the delay in responding.
I’m a bit unclear about the approach to updating the URLs. Should I point them to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WordPress/blueprints/... now, even though this would cause errors when testing the blueprint in a playground until the PR is merged?

[adamziel]

Ah no, I only meant to have this file included in the PR, which I now see it was – perhaps I got confused when reviewing :-) Either way, it looks good now, thank you for proposing this Blueprint!

[adamziel]

Thank you @calvinrodrigues500! I left a few notes about the resource origin. Also, running the Blueprint via the preview link yields this error:

You may want to use the raw.githubusercontent.com domain instead.

@adamziel @bgrgicak
I have made the suggested changes and tested using the preview link.

Thanks for making the changes @calvinrodrigues500!
