Tests from different areas to be done separately from the critical flows

Feel free to reach out to @tikarimov if you have any questions.

• When WooPay is enabled (should be by default), confirm that Save my information for a faster and secure checkout checkbox block is displayed. Check it and purchase a product. After that, navigate to the checkout page again and confirm that WooPay initializes and lets you checkout with previously saved email
• With WooPay enabled, perform Giropay purchase. Then disable WooPay and place order once more. Set back the WooPay setting to the state it was prior to this test, so that it doesn't impact the critical flows testing.
• Place order while paying with card and:
  • WooPay enabled
  • WooPay disabled
• test zero order total with free shipping & change the country to non-free shipping country without leaving the checkout page and confirm payment methods are loaded
  • ensure you have two shipping zones in WooCommerce (e.g. one free shipping for US and another one flat rate $10 for e.g. United Arab Emirates)
  • add one free physical product and open the shortcode checkout so that US is chosen by default as shipping address country
  • confirm no payment methods section is loaded
  • change the shipping country to United Arab Emirates and confirm that payment methods are loading properly
