Fix WooPay express button text clipping

Prerequisites:

  • Enable WooPay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay express checkout buttons
  1. Resize browser viewport from wide (1600px+) to narrow (400px)
  2. Verify at all viewport sizes:
    • WooPay button text is never clipped
    • Logo remains proportionally sized compared to Apple Pay/Google Pay
    • Content scales smoothly as viewport changes
  3. Test on mobile device (or mobile emulation) to verify no clipping when buttons stack vertically

Expected result: No text or logo clipping at any viewport size or button configuration.

Visa Compliance disputes: special notice and attention to a higher fee

  • Set up a WooCommerce store with WooPayments.
  • Make a purchase using a card number 4000008400000779 to trigger a Visa Compliance dispute.
  • As a merchant, open the payment details page for the dispute and verify that it matches the expectations in the reference design.
  • Make another purchase using a different test card number, e.g. 4000000000002685 which creates a "Product not received" dispute.
  • Open the dispute page and verify that it remains consistent with the dispute type, i.e., there are no mentions of the special $500 fee for challenging a Visa compliance issue. The "Challenge Dispute" button should be enabled on load.
