20266 releases

  1. UPI QR Code Payment Gateway 1.5.3Latest

    • Release Date: October 30, 2026
    • Fixed: The “Payment Buttons” option is back (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm and “Others” buttons on mobile that open the UPI app with the amount filled in). It was removed in 1.5.0, which stopped the buttons on stores that use them. Stores that had it enabled before 1.5.0 get the buttons back automatic…
    • Tweak: Together with the “Mobile QR Code” option, mobile customers can see the QR code only, the QR code and the app buttons, or the app buttons only.
    • Dev: The dwu_enable_payment_buttons filter now defaults to the “Payment Buttons” setting and can still force the buttons on or off.

  2. UPI QR Code Payment Gateway 1.5.2

    • Release Date: October 13, 2026
    • Fixed: An older order paid later by UPI (for example from the “Pay for order” page, or after a failed payment) could be cancelled as unpaid within about an hour. The “Unpaid Order Timeout” now counts from when the customer chooses UPI, not from when the order was created.

  3. UPI QR Code Payment Gateway 1.5.1

    • Release Date: October 12, 2026
    • Fixed: The “Proceed to Next” and “Confirm” buttons in the payment popup could be nearly invisible (light grey until hovered) with themes that style buttons.
    • Added: “Leave a review” link on the Plugins screen.
    • Tweak: Clearer description.

  4. UPI QR Code Payment Gateway 1.5.0

    • Release Date: October 11, 2026
    • Fixed: On the block-based checkout, the plugin’s settings were not loaded, so the UPI handle list was missing and checkout failed with “UPI Handle is a required field” on default settings. The configured title, description and “Hide Field” option now work there too.
    • Security: Payment screenshots are now stored privately (not in the Media Library) under random file names and can only be opened by users who can edit orders.
    • Security: Clear warnings when “Payment Complete Status” is Processing or Completed, as submitted Transaction IDs are not verified automatically.
    • Added: “Unpaid Order Timeout” setting (24 hours by default). Unpaid UPI orders are kept longer before WooCommerce cancels them, and orders whose payment details were submitted are never cancelled automatically.
    • Added: The customer’s UPI ID and payment screenshot are included in WordPress personal data export and erasure.
    • Fixed: A customer submitting payment details for a cancelled order now sees what to do if money was debited.
    • Fixed: Stock is restored when an order submitted with “Payment Complete Status” set to Pending is cancelled.
    • Fixed: The UPI payment link now always uses a two-decimal amount, and special characters in order numbers no longer break it.
    • Fixed: When no Merchant Category Code is set, the UPI payment link now uses 0000 instead of 8931, which UPI apps can reject. New installs default to 0000. Existing settings are not changed: if yours shows 8931 and you have no merchant category code, change it to 0000.
    • Changed: The “Payment Buttons” option (Google Pay / PhonePe / Paytm buttons on mobile) is removed, as UPI apps no longer support these links from websites. Developers can turn the buttons back on with the dwu_enable_payment_buttons filter.
    • Added: Translation template (languages/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway.pot), and translations saved in the plugin’s languages folder (for example with Loco Translate) are now loaded.
    • Tweak: Payment confirmation also finds the order by its order key if the order ID does not match (the key and security check are still required).
    • Tweak: The review request appears after one week, and the Knit Pay – UPI automatic verification suggestion covers more merchant UPI IDs.
    • Fixed: The “UPI Payment” column was missing from the Orders screen because the gateway was not loaded there.
    • Tweak: The orders list marks submitted payments as “Submitted, verify payment” and links to the screenshot.
    • Tweak: The screenshot is removed when its order is permanently deleted.
    • Tweak: Checkout scripts for the classic form are no longer loaded on the block-based checkout.
    • Tweak: Removed the unused log folder and added uninstall cleanup of the gateway settings (order data is kept).
    • Tweak: Declared compatibility with the WooCommerce Cart and Checkout blocks.
    • Tested with WordPress v7.1 and WooCommerce v11.2.

  5. UPI QR Code Payment Gateway 1.4.4

    • Release Date: September 27, 2026
    • Security: Fixed an issue where the payment confirmation request could update an order without the order key. The request is now verified with an order-bound nonce, the order key, the payment method and the order status.
    • Security: Screenshot uploads are now limited to real JPEG/PNG images with a size limit.
    • Security: Improved sanitization and escaping of all input and output.
    • Fixed: “Complete the payment” text was added to emails after the payment was submitted.
    • Fixed: Server-side validation of Transaction ID and screenshot.
    • Fixed: Admin notices and text domain.
    • Fixed: Required UPI field indicator and default settings on block checkout.
    • Tested with WordPress v7.1.
