MWU Ashop Shoppingcart: 11-11-2008

The colors of the search and subtotal input fields in the search and catalogue pages were previously hard coded into the scripts. They now can be customized by setting the Item border color, which is in the admin panel Store Configuration > Layout menu.

Added support for the Quickbooks (Intuit) payment service.

Added support for the ICpay.net payment service.

Fixed a minor vulnerability where the free gift and manual payment gateway features in the shoppingcart could be manipulated to process fake (unpaid) orders. Added a security hash string, which is dependent on the products in the cart as well as the total amount.

The shoppingcart previously didn't assign orders of $0.00 to affiliates (for free products and where discounts equal the order amount to create a zero balance order), even if the order was placed through an affiliate link. This restriction is removed so that affiliates will get a sales notice for free and 100% discounted products.

FitListPRO: 11-4-08

New Look and Feel-FitListPRO now has a more stylish and more user friendly look and feel. We have added some AJAX functionality to improve user interaction and cleaned up the user interface

New ! Improved Database Performance-A number of changes have been made to the table structures supporting FitListPRO. This has delivered a significant improvement in performance.

PayPal Direct Pay doesn't necessarily block payments when an AVS or CVV2 check fails. It is user configurable. The shoppingcart was treating all such failed checks as failed transactions, even though in some cases the payment would have actually been sent. To avoid transaction denied errors in these cases, the PayPal Direct Payment gateway module will now only check the AVS and CVV2 results and report them if the payment is reported as failed by PayPal.

Authorize.net recently notified merchants about increasing the number of characters in transaction keys. MWU Ashop Shoppingcart already supports longer transaction keys than Authorize.net requires and this is not an issue for our users.

Non-fixed Voip (Voice Over Internet Protocol) and untraceable cell phone numbers are often used by criminals to get around phone verification. To block fraudulent transactions, Telesign verification now identifies the type of phone number and will not validate untraceable phone numbers. If a customer enters a non-fixed Voip number or an untraceable cell phone number an error message will appear.
