- Fix – Checkout: Place Order works again after pressing the browser’s Back button from a payment redirect on sites where the checkout page is cached by the browser
- Fix – Klarna Payments: version 3.0.0 exactly now loads the Klarna compatibility instead of falling back to none
- Fix – Pages: the phone field setting now shows Optional, matching checkout, when it has never been saved
- Fix – Checkout: a page left open until its session expires now reloads once and recovers, instead of showing an error until the shopper refreshes

CheckoutWC Lite 11.4.1
- Fix – WooCommerce PayPal Payments: Place Order no longer spins forever when paying by card after the checkout updates
- Fix – Payment Plugins for PayPal: the PayPal and Pay Later express buttons now line up instead of the second one sitting offset
- Fix – Payment Plugins for Braintree: retrying checkout after a declined card now resets the payment form as the gateway expects
- Fix – Integrations: the Simple Cloudflare Turnstile conflict notice now only shows on plans that include Turnstile
- Fix – Removed the extra gap below the coupon field on mobile, which made a full-height Apply button taller than the field
- Fix – Checkboxes and radio buttons now stay visibly ticked when a site’s own focus styles override CheckoutWC’s
- Fix – A terms and conditions error now shows with the other checkout errors when the terms checkbox isn’t in its usual place, instead of Place Order appearing to do nothing
- Fix – Germanized and German Market legal consent checkboxes no longer come back ticked for returning customers
CheckoutWC Lite 11.4.0
- Feature – Custom fields: add your own text fields to any checkout slot from the Checkout Editor – text area, dropdown, radio button and checkbox fields are available on a paid plan
- Feature – Custom fields: mark a field required, cap how many characters it accepts, and show it only for the carts and customers you choose with display conditions
- Feature – Custom fields: add a fixed or percentage fee to a field, charged when the customer fills it in – shown in the label and added to the order
- Feature – Custom fields: what the customer entered is saved to the order, and shown on the order screen, in their order details and in order emails
- Tweak – Checkout Editor: the Fields, Footer and Advanced sections are gone – their settings now sit under Typography, Addresses, Cart Summary and a new Other section
- Tweak – Checkout Editor: settings now use standard checkboxes rather than eye on and off toggles, which stay for showing and hiding billing address fields
- Tweak – Checkout Editor: every settings section now has an icon, and a warning about a setting appears directly beneath that setting
- Tweak – Checkout Editor: the Billing Address Fields setting now links to an explanation of what removing a field does to the order before you turn one off
- Tweak – Checkout Editor: new Company Field and Address 2 Field settings, alongside the existing Phone Field, for the three fields WooCommerce controls itself
- Tweak – Checkout Editor: a billing field WooCommerce has hidden is no longer listed under Billing Address Fields, where its toggle could not do anything
- Tweak – Checkout Editor: turning off a billing field that WooCommerce requires, or one a payment gateway checks the card against, now flags the field and explains what it costs
- Tweak – Checkout Editor: set the size of your header logo, and the space around it, in the new Logo section
- Tweak – Checkout Editor: the Add item menu on a slot is now larger and can be searched, so finding a field no longer means scrolling
- Tweak – Checkout Editor: an open settings section now stands apart from the ones around it, and the lines between individual settings are lighter
- Tweak – Checkout Editor: a heading added to a slot now starts at H2 rather than H4
- Tweak – Checkout Editor: the Live and Preview menu now explains that a checkout in preview is only shown to logged-in administrators
- Accessibility – Checkout, order pay and thank you pages no longer expose a second main landmark on the order review column
- Localization – Added Icelandic (is_IS) translations
- Fix – Cart summary: the remove button, when enabled, now sits in its own column after the price, so every item price lines up – an item a plugin makes non-removable no longer sits out of line
- Fix – Cart summary: the remove button, when enabled, is always visible rather than appearing on hover, so it can be reached by keyboard and on touch devices
- Fix – Checkout: the phone field is now optional where WooCommerce says it is optional – previously it was treated as required whenever the WooCommerce setting had never been saved
- Fix – Checkout Editor: the first item you add to a slot in a session now stays where you put it – previously it could be silently dropped if the editor refreshed its slots at the same moment
- Fix – Checkout Editor: the preview now scrolls to the slot you just changed after saving an item in its modal, instead of reloading back at the top
- Fix – Checkout Editor: the logo thumbnail in the settings panel now updates as soon as you choose a new logo, and no longer reverts to the previous one after saving
- Fix – Checkout Editor: opening the Add item menu on one slot now closes the menu already open on another, instead of leaving the two overlapping
- Fix – Checkout Editor: placing an order from the preview now returns you to your checkout, and the editor points out the real order that was created
- Fix – Checkout slots: a field in the After Delivery Method slot no longer loses keyboard focus every time the checkout totals refresh
- Fix – Order summary: what a customer types into the promo code field, or into a field placed in an order summary slot, no longer overlaps the field’s label
- Fix – SiteGround Speed Optimizer: the checkout, order pay and thank you pages no longer lose their form or styling when JavaScript or CSS optimization is on – Speed Optimizer names its optimized copies after the asset handle, so another page on your store could leave the wrong file cached under ours
- Fix – Turning off Order Notes now removes only the notes field, instead of also hiding checkout fields other plugins add to that section, such as a VAT ID field
CheckoutWC Lite 11.3.1
- Feature – Checkout Editor: choose the products in the preview from the new Preview Cart control in the editor header, so you can see how checkout reacts to a digital-only, mixed or shipped cart
- Fix – Checkout Editor: the preview no longer adds to, or leaves items in, your own cart – it now runs on a cart of its own
- Fix – Integrations: the page no longer errors when a theme or plugin with its own CheckoutWC setting is active, such as Astra or Elementor Pro
- Fix – Shipping methods: switching quickly between two methods no longer reverts the selection
- Fix – Shipping: a shipping package without any rates no longer triggers a PHP warning while checking whether every package has an available shipping method
- Fix – Stripe: checkout no longer fails with a critical error when the WooCommerce Stripe Gateway is active but has switched itself off because it needs a newer version of WooCommerce
- Fix – Stripe: checkout no longer fails with a critical error when the WooCommerce Stripe Gateway is active but its express checkout button locations have never been set
- Fix – WooPayments: express checkout button rendering and compatibility improvements
- Fix – WPML and Polylang: a store policy link now opens the connected translation of its page, and shows that page’s title unless you gave the link custom text
CheckoutWC Lite 11.3.0
- Fix – Checkout Slots: the “After Billing Address” slot now shows on digital / no-shipping checkouts, where it follows the billing address onto the information step; shipping-only slots are flagged in the editor so their absence on those checkouts is expected
CheckoutWC Lite 11.2.0
- Feature – Checkout Slots: place headings, custom HTML, and other elements into named positions across the checkout from the Checkout Editor, with drag-to-reorder and per-item spacing
- Fix – Glass template’s selected shipping and payment method highlight color can now be changed from the editor (Colors > Misc)
- Fix – Glass template breadcrumb colors (completed, current and next step text, and the current step accent) now follow the editor’s Breadcrumb color settings instead of being locked to the button color
- Fix – The “Accent Color” control (Colors > Misc) no longer appears in the editor for templates that don’t use it
- Fix – A privacy policy or terms & conditions page built with a page builder (e.g. Avada) no longer collapses the checkout to a single column with no order summary
- Fix – Glass template footer no longer overlaps the terms and privacy policy modals
- Fix – Checkout no longer fatals on PHP 8 when a shipping extension gives shipping packages string keys
- Dev – Slot output is wrapped in a cfw-slot-wrap div – custom CSS or JS that targeted checkout slot content by its previous position in the DOM may need updating
