What’s new in SureCart 4.9.0
Released: September 23rd, 2026
Active installations: 80,000
Tested up to WordPress 7.1.2
Requires PHP 7.4
Changelog
- New: Bulk shipping labels — pick multiple orders under Orders → Shipping Labels, compare rates, and buy labels in one go.
- New: “Start With a Complete Site” onboarding option to preview and import a ready-made SureCart starter template.
- New: Checkout, orders, invoices, and subscriptions show each tax rate on its own line when a region stacks taxes (e.g. Canadian GST + PST).
- New: Tax overrides can carry a custom Tax Label (e.g. “GST + PST”) shown at checkout and on receipts.
- New: “Limit Location Capture To” setting asks only buyers in the countries you pick for their location.
- New: First-party integrations with WP Rocket, Perfmatters, and SiteGround Optimizer — SureCart registers the cache and delay-JS exclusions they need.
- Improvement: Affiliate click tracking now runs through your own site, so ad blockers no longer drop clicks.
- Improvement: Customer-facing “invoice” wording is now “receipt” where the downloaded document is a receipt.
- Improvement: Tax ID placeholder now names the expected type for the selected zone (e.g. “Enter EU VAT”).
- Improvement: Dynamic pricing rules now warn when a Geo Address Country rule targets a country location capture will not collect.
- Fix: Instant Checkout /buy/ pages treated as the blog index, giving SEO plugins the wrong canonical, robots, and duplicate Open Graph tags.
- Fix: Product review pagination disabled state, and unfilled rating stars rendering incorrectly.
