CustomCart Changelog
Version 1.2.0
August 20, 2026- Addition Send Invoice: Create draft or manual orders and email the customer a secure Stripe payment link, with a custom message, invoice history tracking, and the ability to resend with a fresh link.
- Addition Pay Now button on the customer order page for unpaid invoiced orders.
- Addition Payment link management: Disable a previously sent payment link so it can no longer be used.
- Addition Invoices now support discounts, and manual orders can auto-calculate tax with a configurable rate and taxable states list.
- Addition Multiple shipping labels per order: Create, download, track, and delete separate labels for split shipments, reprints, or reships.
- Addition Print status tracking: A checkbox on each order line item cycles through printing in process (yellow), completed (green), and issue (red) — saved per item, with an option to disable the feature in settings.
- Addition Private admin notes on each order line item with autosave — visible only to admins, never to customers.
- Addition Partial refunds: Issue full or partial Stripe refunds from a new refund modal (permission-controlled), tracked in the order notes, order history, and payment status.
- Addition Refund amounts and net payment now display in the Order Summary.
- Addition File uploads on order item options: Attach art files (images, ZIP, PDF, AI, and more) to any line item option, with inline image previews.
- Addition Image picker on Create Order and order item rows for quickly assigning product images.
- Addition Unavailable state for product field options, including crossed-out color swatches and an optional tooltip.
- Addition Quick filter toggles on the orders list (All, Not Paid, Not Shipped, Not Completed).
- Addition Login Takeover setting (disabled by default): CustomCart only replaces Joomla's login pages when explicitly enabled. CustomCart login menu items always work when visited directly.
- Addition The CustomCart login page now uses your Brand Colors settings and displays the user's Gravatar when available.
- Addition The Webhook Configuration panel in Options now shows your site's actual webhook URL with a copy button, the full list of Stripe events to listen for, and the recommended API version.
- Change Upgraded the Stripe API to version 2026-07-29.dahlia across all payment, refund, and checkout calls.
- Change Print status and private item notes are also available in the front-end admin orders view.
- Change Joomla multi-factor authentication pages keep their native design unless Login Takeover is enabled.
- Change Added CSRF protection to the login, logout, and password reset forms, and excluded login/logout pages from page caches (JCH Optimize and LiteSpeed safe).
- Change Translated all new features and previously untranslated strings across all 16 supported languages, including the permission names shown in the Permissions tab.
- Fix Fixed checkout failing on large orders with many different products (Stripe metadata limit) — big carts now check out normally with all product options preserved.
- Fix Fixed duplicate order numbers that could occur after upgrading the plugin.
- Fix Fixed a fatal error after a customer paid an invoice, and the "Order Not Found" page shown after successful invoice payments.
- Fix Invoice payments are now confirmed directly with Stripe when the customer returns to the site, so orders are marked paid even if the webhook is delayed.
- Fix Fixed a Stripe error that delayed webhook processing on invoice payments with discounts.
- Fix Fixed the Joomla login module and two-factor authentication being broken by the login redirect — login form submissions and logout links are never intercepted.
- Fix Fixed logout links redirecting to a redundant page, and guarded against logout redirect loops.
- Fix Customer-uploaded images on order options now preview inline instead of downloading when clicked.
- Fix Fixed the refund window not opening on paid orders.
- Fix Fixed invisible text in the Send Invoice From field in dark mode.
