I’m excited to announce that CoCart v3 Beta 3 is now available for beta testing! You can either download it directly from GitHub or install the CoCart Beta Tester plugin.
CoCart v3 is very close to completion so any feedback you provide testing this beta that needs solving before releasing a release candidate is most appreciated.
I’m aiming to have CoCart v3 released sometime around mid to late April. Up until then I will be working on preparing CoCart Pro to be ready for the big update.
What’s New since CoCart v3 Beta 2?
New: Added the CoCart menu to the new WooCommerce Navigation Menu if it exists or is enabled.
WooCommerce will make this enabled by default in the future and as CoCart is WooCommerce related, it is best that users have everything related to WooCommerce under one roof.
NEW for API: Cart formatting applied to clean up get cart response. This is similar to what the Get Cart Enhanced add-on does by removing the item key as the parent array making it easier to look up the items in the response.
NEW for API: Added cart validation, check each item is in stock and applied coupons are still valid. If anything is not valid an error notice will be added which returns in the response.
Should for some reason the CoCart session table not exist in the database. To help prevent crashing the site when viewing the WooCommerce System Status page, it will check if the table exists before trying to return results.
If it is indeed missing it will simply return “Missing session table“. Should this be the case a tool is available to verify and create the missing table.
