Multi-Vendor Cloud Updates Overview
At CS-Cart, we are constantly improving to give clients not just powerful features. We deliver the flexibility to focus on what matters most, which is growing your business.
It is time to explore the most impactful CS-Cart Multi-Vendor Cloud updates designed to simplify and boost your eCommerce experience.
A Smarter, Smoother Admin Experience
We redesigned the CS-Cart admin panel to help you start faster and scale smarter. The panel is mobile-friendly, which lets store owners manage their online projects on the go.
What we did:
- Simplified navigation. Sections and menu items are now neatly grouped in the left sidebar.
- Created a unified settings menu. Previously scattered configuration options are now consolidated into a single “Settings” section in the bottom-left corner.
The result? Less time digging through menus and more time selling.
Welcome to the Dark Side (If You Want)
We added full Dark Mode support for both admin and vendor panels.
To enable the dark mode, you can:
- Activate it manually via profile settings.
- Let the system switch themes automatically based on your OS preferences or default settings.
Whether you like managing orders late at night or just prefer a sleeker look, the control is yours.
Faster Payments with PPCP
Today’s shoppers expect fast, frictionless checkout. So, we upgraded PayPal Complete Payments with Apple Pay and Google Pay support.
New updates additionally deliver:
- Alternative payment options including Venmo, PayPal Pay Later, giropay and more.
- Shipment and delivery details are sent to PayPal automatically.
- Better conversion rates with fewer abandoned carts.
- Trustworthy tools and payment options shoppers already know.
Note: For marketplaces, Apple Pay and Google Pay may not be available at checkout if the cart contains products from multiple vendors. This is a platform-specific restriction imposed by Apple and Google and is beyond CS-Cart’s control.
GDPR Compliance with Google Consent Mode v2
New Google regulations require Consent Mode for any site using Google Ads. We updated the GDPR Compliance add-on to include Consent Mode v2.
It means your store:
- Complies with Google Ads policies.
- Keeps personalized ads and conversion tracking running smoothly in the EU.
- Does not need extra setup, just activate the add-on.
Your analytics remain precise, your advertising continues to perform, and your store operates within regulatory standards—consistently and confidently.
Updated FedEx Integration
FedEx is moving to new RESTful APIs, and the old integration is no longer available. No worries, we’ve got your back with our new FedEx integration. CS-Cart lets you easily switch to the new integration to avoid disruptions in order shipping.
How to update:
- Go to Administration → Shipping & Taxes → Shipping Methods.
- Click + to add a new shipping method.
- In the Rate Calculation dropdown, select FedEx (this is the new integration).
- Enter your FedEx credentials from your FedEx account.
- Save the method and test it to ensure it works correctly.
Once confirmed, you can safely disable your old shipping methods.
It enables you to safely switch to the new FedEx integration to continue shipping orders smoothly, without any disruptions.
Plans for the Future: Nova Theme Is on Its Way
A couple of themes from our partners (New Generation and Next Theme) haven’t been updated for the latest Muti-Vendor Cloud version, and so they can no longer be selected. Thin Theme remains fully supported and continues to deliver a smooth and reliable design experience.
We understand that more options for the appearance of your marketplace are a must. That’s why our team is actively developing the brand-new custom Nova Theme to provide a modern, customizable, and high-performance storefront.
The easier it is to browse, the longer people will stay—and the more likely they are to make a purchase.
With every release, CS-Cart is getting smarter, faster, and easier to use. Whether you are launching your first store or scaling a multi-vendor empire, our platform is built to grow with you.
