June 2026: Delivered key checkout reliability and tax-accuracy improvements for the WooCommerce Stripe Gateway. Implemented a validation guard to prevent unnecessary Stripe payment-method creation on shortcode checkout and added decimal quantity support in express-checkout, with locale-aware input sanitization and regression tests. Fixed tax calculation in Apple Pay / Google Pay express checkout previews to account for full line totals (quantity plus add-ons) and added a data-driven test suite to cover multiple scenarios including non-taxable products. The changes reduced checkout failures, improved tax accuracy, and enhanced maintainability through robust test coverage and documentation updates.

April 2026 monthly summary focused on stabilizing multi-currency pricing in Automattic/woocommerce-payments. Delivered a critical fix to invalidate the exchange rate cache when the store base currency changes, ensuring accurate pricing and checkout totals across currencies and reducing pricing-related support issues.
