New:

• Auto Login Prompt at Checkout: Returning customers are now automatically prompted to log in when their email matches an existing account at checkout. This saves them from re-entering details and helps complete the purchase faster.
  
  You can enable it from Settings → Settings → Orders & Invoices → Checkout → Show Login Prompt at Checkout
• Login with Access Code at Checkout: Returning customers can now sign in with a one-time code sent to their email. No password required. Customers can still choose to log in with their password if they prefer. This helps reduce checkout friction, improves security, and makes it easier for returning customers to complete their purchase.
  
  No additional setup required. This works automatically alongside the Login Prompt at Checkout feature.
• Refreshed Order Bump Design: Order bumps now feature a cleaner, modern design with prominent rounded buttons that help increase visibility without feeling intrusive.
  
  New stores will use the modern design by default. Existing stores will continue using the classic checkbox design after upgrading to avoid unexpected checkout changes.
  
  To switch to the new design, go to: SureCart → Settings → Advanced → Checkout → Modern Order Bump Design
  Note: Clear your page cache after changing this setting.
• Create Custom-Amount Invoices with AI (MCP): SureCart’s MCP Server now supports custom-amount invoices. Connected AI tools like Claude, Cursor, and others can create invoices with any amount you specify. Perfect for consulting, custom services, donations, project fees, and other one-off charges.
  
  Simply set up a reusable product with a Pay What You Want price, then tell your AI who to invoice and for how much. The AI can create and send the invoice without requiring a new product for every charge.
  
  Don’t have a product set up yet? Your AI can create one for you in the same conversation.
  Example: “Create a $250 invoice for john@example.com for consulting work.”

Improvements:

• Place Product Review Anywhere Using Shortcodes: You can now display product review content like rating stars, average rating, total review count, anywhere on your site using the new product_id parameter.
  
  Visit the Product Review Shortcodes Doc to see all the available shortcodes.

Fixes:

• Quantity input background color missing on product page.
• Fatal error on product pages on PHP 8+ with themes that pass image attributes as a string (e.g. Enfold).
• Checkout error with the Japan postal code field due to an invalid validation pattern.
• “Write a Review” button throwing an error when used on non-product pages.
• “Write a Review” button appearing invisible on the frontend with some classic themes.
