What's New in SureCart

We are pleased to announce SureCart 2.24 which brings a new and convenient way to place test orders in your store!

In the last update we released a Live Mode / Test Mode switcher for your checkout forms which paves the way for our new Test Processor.

We want new merchants to be able to get the full SureCart experience with minimal effort. Adding a built-in test processor makes it easy to test the order flow, so you can test everything before connecting to live payment processors.

And for our existing merchants, this makes it easy to test your integrations and automations before going live. It’s so much more convenient than having to enter 4242 4242 4242 4242 and the rest of the test card data each time you want to place a test order.

We also have a new option for coupons that allows you to restrict a coupon based on maximum order subtotal.

New:

• New: Test processor for testing checkout flow without connecting a payment processor.
• New: Restrict coupons to a maximum order subtotal.

Improvement:

• Improvement: Store checkout form now defaults to test mode for new stores.

Fix:

• Fix: Issue with loading indicator not clearing when payment fails on offsite payments flow.
• Fix: Issue with upsells always showing totals in USD in some cases.

We are pleased to announce SureCart 2.23 which brings a new and convenient way to toggle checkout forms Live/Test mode!

You could always do this in the checkout form editor, but it’s a few extra steps and with something this important, we wanted to bring more visibility to it.

Now when you are logged in as the admin, and you are viewing a page with a checkout form on it, you will see this new option in the admin bar that displays the mode of the checkout form, and offers a quick way to toggle it.

New:

• New: Live/Test mode admin bar toggle on checkout pages.

Change:

• Change: When no store logo is updated, no longer show the site title on instant checkout and customer dashboard.

Fix:

• Fix: Issue with tax input id not selecting correct tax type if only one tax type is added and country is not immediately selected in the address.
• Fix: PHP notice when using shortcode registrations with incorrect attributes.
• Fix: Issue with filtering collections showing blank page in admin.
• Fix: Confusing error message when customer record cannot be updated in admin.
• Fix: Deleting a product does was not automatically redirecting to the product list page in admin.

We are pleased to announce SureCart 2.22 which brings affiliate management into your website!

One of the main reasons merchants choose SureCart is because everything is seamlessly integrated. All of our features are carefully crafted to work together as a whole, delivering an unparalleled experience for our merchants.

You can’t get this ease of use elsewhere where you are required to buy a bunch of add-ons that sorta work together, but all have separate interfaces and screens. It’s a very overwhelming experience, but not with SureCart!

This becomes very clear when you view an affiliate’s profile, and it displays everything about that affiliate, including their:

• Referals
• Payouts
• Affiliate coupons
• Clicks
• Join date
• And even their avatar

You don’t get this level of 360 degree profile elsewhere.

This update also simplifies affiliate management. You can now link an order to an affiliate, link a customer to an affiliate, create affiliate coupons, and much more.

New:

• New: Manage affiliates from the plugin admin.
• New: Add setting to disable zero dollar commissions.
• New: Add affiliate promotion codes.
• New: Ability to edit lifetime and subscription commissions.

Improvement:

• Improvement: Standardize highlight color across admin pages.

Fix:

• Fix: Issue where product list sometimes does not load properly if cart is disabled.

We are pleased to announce SureCart 2.21, which brings Bulk Actions and several other improvements.

The first bulk action we are adding to SureCart is to delete products in bulk.

This was a common request from our users as well as video creators that are teaching people how to use SureCart.

We plan on more bulk actions in the future.

New:

• New: Bulk delete products.
• New: Load separate block assets control for themes that don’t provide support.

Improvement:

We are pleased to announce SureCart 2.20, which brings Tax Overrides to all SureCart merchants.

When we first released SureCart two years ago, one of our goals was to make tax collection easy and automated. And without making our merchants have to pay a service for real time tax calculations.

We are very proud to be offering this to all merchants, and it comes at a significant cost to us, but it’s totally worth it because our goal is to make ecommerce easy for everyone.

But there are cases where a merchant is selling a product that has a unique tax rate. For example, in France, if you are selling physical books, that unique tax rate is 5%.

There is also another unique case where a merchant must charge tax on shipping charges.

Tax Overrides gives you granular control over the tax rate, and it’s very easy to set up with 3 simple steps:

1. Create a new product collection to group the products you want to add a Tax Override to
2. Add the products to the collection
3. Visit the tax settings and create a Tax Override for the product collection

As you add new products to your store, you can add them to the product collection if you want a special Tax Override applied to them.

This makes managing the Tax Overrides very simple as your store grows.

New:

• New: Add tax and shipping overrides based on product collections.

Improvement:

• Improvement: Limit the tax ids shown in the tax id form input.
• Improvement: Product collection list page loading performance.
• Improvement: Update customer display conditions wording on upsells to be more descriptive.

Fix:

• Fix: Issue with using product collection and product list shortcodes on the same page.
• Fix: Issue where a merchant could select a region to register for taxes that already exists, causing a save error.
• Fix: Cart incorrectly using subtotal instead of total.
