What's New in SureCart

New:

• Modern Data Views Across SureCart: The rest of the SureCart admin now uses WordPress’ modern Data Views experience, making lists easier to search, sort, filter, and manage.
• Faster Admin Navigation: SureCart admin pages now use fully client-side, SPA-like navigation for quicker transitions without full page reloads.
• Improved Product Integrations List: Product integrations now include an edit action and a more detailed list view.

Improvement:

• Reduced the JavaScript translation catalog from roughly 150 copies to one per page, preventing the block editor from appearing blank in WordPress 7.1 on Chromium-based browsers.

Fixes:

• Checkout now requires a phone number for physical products only when the selected shipping method needs one.
• Collection syncing now connects to an existing unlinked term when a new collection term would duplicate it.
• The sc_product_media shortcode now displays the WordPress media-library gallery correctly when given a product ID.
• Price fields now respect the site locale and accept the appropriate decimal separator.
• PayPal’s Credit Card option no longer loses its button or reverts to the standard PayPal button after checkout fields such as email or address are changed.
• Product page migration no longer wraps WooCommerce’s single-product block template, preventing corrupted product pages on sites using both WooCommerce and SureCart.

Improvement:

• Faster block registration using a build-time metadata manifest.

Fixes:

• Shop pages and Quick View now load in a few seconds instead of 20–30 seconds on stores with many product variants.
• SureCart no longer disables LiteSpeed Cache page caching across the entire site.
• Address autocomplete now preserves the correct street-name and house-number order in countries where the street name appears first.
• Cancelling or editing a subscription that no longer exists now displays a “Not found” message in the Customer Dashboard instead of causing a fatal error.
• The PayPal button no longer reloads whenever a checkout field changes.

Security:

• Hardened product integration permissions against user-role privilege escalation. Props to TurboNexic of PatchStack for responsibly reporting the issue.
• Hardened permission checks for subscriptions, orders, and license activations.

Fix:

• Product images inside Cover blocks are now clickable in Shop page product lists.

New:

• Variant Selection in Product Lists: Variant Pills and Buy Buttons blocks can now be added inside a Product List, allowing shoppers to choose a variant and add it to their cart without leaving the list.
• Product List with Variants Pattern: Added a new block pattern featuring the Variant Pills and Buy Buttons blocks.
• Duplicate Checkout Forms: Checkout forms now include a native “Duplicate” row action that creates a new draft copy.
• More Detailed Fulfillment Timeline: The order fulfillment timeline now identifies the package used to calculate a purchased shipping label, including carrier packages, saved templates, and custom sizes.

Fixes:

• Upsell Funnel and Order Bump price pickers now include all valid prices for products with more than approximately 20 prices.
• Product page migration no longer removes <style> tags or CSS backslash escapes from customized product templates during plugin updates.
• Shipping provider status messages now identify whether the provider is not connected, disabled, or configured for the wrong mode.
• Location-based pricing at checkout now recalculates as soon as the shopper’s location is resolved, without requiring interaction with the form.
• Long product notes no longer break order line-item layouts on storefront and admin order screens.
• Checkout focus rings are no longer clipped on country and street-address selectors.

New:

• Shippo Fulfillment Integration: Ship orders directly from the fulfillment drawer — get live Shippo rates, buy a label, and track the package.
• Warehouse Management: Manage multiple ship-from addresses easily under Settings → Shipping.
• Live Carrier Rates: Quote real-time carrier rates at checkout from your connected Shippo account, featuring separate test and live mode support.
• Customer Shipment Tracking: Customers can now view shipment tracking and status on their dashboard order page as soon as a shipping label is purchased.

Improvement:

• Address autocomplete now uses Google’s Places Autocomplete API instead of Text Search, returning accurate street addresses instead of businesses and billing each search as a single session.

Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where UK address autocomplete failed to select the correct city and building/street line for addresses without a street number.
• Hardened account creation at checkout confirmation to prevent unauthenticated requests from creating a WordPress user account.

Fix:

• Fixed an issue where some product blocks displayed “This block has encountered an error and cannot be previewed” in the editor on WordPress 7.1.

New:

• Added an admin notice when the site is running a WordPress version below the minimum version required by SureCart.
• Added developer filters to customize the checkout success redirect and disable Google tracking.

Fixes:

• Toast messages now appear correctly above WordPress popovers and dropdowns.

• Fixed dark 3px borders appearing on some elements due to the new WordPress 7.0 border styles.
• The Customer Dashboard back link now uses the customized “Back Home” text for screen readers.
• Fixed a shop page crash when filter URLs contain a single value instead of a list, including URLs commonly requested by search bots.
