Upgrading

Please view the upgrade notes in the wiki.

Features

Cart

• Multiship (Multiple Ship-To Addresses) added as a shipto cart option.
• Added cart=updateinfo option to allow your customers to load the checkout page directly and update their information (such as their credit card number). This is really useful for subscriptions with soon-to-expire credit cards.
• Added the fc_json javascript object to the cart page. You can use this in a variety of ways including checking that the quantity is “1” for unique items before allowing the customer to checkout.
• Added shipto item to the fc_json cart object.
• Added the h: prefix option for “hidden fields” to pass information to the cart (which will be included in the json) and in the datafeed as a custom field. These values will also be included in the admin email.
• Replacing “_” with ” ” when displaying product options.

Checkout

• Multiship (Multiple Ship-To Addresses) added.
• Pre-populate checkout fields with your own data by sending any of the following values to the cart page:

  customer_first_name
  customer_last_name
  customer_email
  customer_address1
  customer_address2
  customer_city
  customer_state
  customer_postal_code
  customer_country
  customer_phone
  shipping_first_name
  shipping_last_name
  shipping_address1
  shipping_address2
  shipping_city
  shipping_state
  shipping_postal_code
  shipping_country
  shipping_phone

• Checkout without password. Using the “pre-populate” option described above, you can load the checkout without requiring a customer password. Just set any one of the fields above in your form or your cart link with a space like this: customer_phone=%20. Please note, this will create a new customer record which may cause problems if you’re using subscriptions. We’ll improve this functionality in the future to differentiate between guest customers and regular customers.
• Error checking for all inputs, textareas and checkboxes with the class fc_required. This includes custom fields.

Admin

• Added ip-to-country lookup on the signup page which should fix the problem with states being required (and set to US states) for non US countries.
• Added Multiship (Multiple Ship-To Addresses) option in the store settings. Note, this feature is an additional $10 a month and only works with versions >= 0.3.0.
• Added “Free Ground Shipping” as a Custom Shipping option.

Improvements & Bug Fixes

Cart

• Replaced " with \" in the json cart object to avoid javascript errors.
• Fixed some warning messages that show up if the session gets lost during the checkout process.
