At long last, v060 adds PayPal Express Checkout support. There were many important improvements behind the scenes with this release, but PayPal Standard, a true guest checkout mode, multiple payment methods per store, and many other improvements make FoxyCart v060 a very important release, and a recommended upgrade for all stores actively seeking to improve conversions. Details
We’ve recently reworked our USPS (United States Postal Service) rate requests to use V3 of their rate request system. Though we plan on making some major improvements to shipping in the future , we feel this upgrade is important as it will improve the accuracy of some rates. Details
Single Sign On (SSO) (also known as “Shared Authentication”) allows you to pass a user that’s already authenticated on your system on through to your FoxyCart checkout without forcing the user to re-enter their username and password. When paired with the User API this allows for perfect user synchronization between a site and its FoxyCart-powered checkout. Details
While we don’t typically make changes to existing versions, there is a tiny change to the “standard” theme’s CSS that we’ve pushed out to fix an IE7 issue. We’ve also changed how the XML datafeed fails and deactivates to improve system stability. Details
“SuperTax” sees the light of day and allows more advanced tax calculations. Improved subscription handling and a corresponding XML datafeed allows users to update and cancel their own subscriptions. A user API allows you to achieve true user synchronization. JSONP support allows even more fun with the cart. All this and more with v050. Details
Coupon codes, much improved JSON functionality, and complete language customization (and TONS of bug fixes) are the visible improvements in what is actually a massive restructuring of our codebase. So, 0.4.0 brings new features, but also allows us to implement much of the functionality you all have been requesting. Details
Yet another new feature pushed into v0.3.2: minimum and maximum quantities. Details
v0.3.3 involves a lot of work behind the scenes (to get ready for all the new features you all have been requesting), so we pushed in a few changes to v0.3.2 (and the entire system, in some cases) recently. Details
Item- and quantity-specific discounts by quantity and sub-total. “Sensitive” custom checkout fields that don’t show up in emails. Cart empty on product add. Concatenate product codes with option modifiers. Details
Safari’s disappearing sessions are finally handled. FoxyBox (Thickbox) gets an upgrade. PSiGate and Quantum Gateways are now supported. Details
Multiship! Ship to multiple addresses on a single (one-page) checkout. Also: pre-populate checkout fields with external data, checkout without password, hidden session variables, and the JSON object on the cart page. MULTISHIP! Details
Lots and lots of bug fixes and improvements all over the place, plus some new functionality: Customer Pickup “shipping” option; ability to edit subscriptions; Australian payment gateway eWAY added. Details
Offline processing has been added as a payment “gateway”, along with the ability to view credit card #s in the admin. Currency is now selectable to include £, €, and others. A few bug fixes and other things that make us happy. Details
You asked for a way to do offline credit card processing. We said maybe. Then you asked again and said please. So we said ok. And now it’s here: View credit cards in the admin. Details
Certain shipping methods are no longer forced on USPS, DHL, and FedEx. At least one shipping method must still be selected, but you can now choose which method that is. Details
Live shipping rates from FedEx. Geo IP transaction lookup. Pre-fills customer country with Geo IP lookup info. New placeholders to integrate iDevAffilate (or other analytics). A few small checkout idiot-proofing fixes. Details
Live shipping rates from DHL. Purchase orders as a payment method. Improved store error logging. A new javascript event hook. Lots of bug fixes. Still totally foxy. Details
Improved to better support external javascript files being cached, including MooTools. Automatic replacement of non-secure Google Analytics calls with secure calls. Details
Significant cart improvements including update/checkout buttons at the top, line-item removal, and improved error message handling. Also complete Google Analytics support and price=0 support. Details
Custom checkout fields, tax calculation based on shipping address, and a few more things. Details
