Niches to Watch in 2025 CS-Cart 4.19: Nova Theme, Product Videos, and Performance Booster
CS-Cart 4.19.1 brings a fresh storefront design, product video support, faster page loading under heavy website traffic, and more flexible payment methods that can now be set per country. We’ve also prepared the platform for PHP 8.3.
Whats New in CS-Cart 4.19?
01
Nova Theme
Modern Storefront Out of the Box: Nova is a clean, lightweight theme that delivers improved performance on both mobile and desktop devices. On mobile, it feels like an app: key elements are streamlined, menus are placed at the bottom, and filters open with a single tap.
User-Friendly Experience: Desktop shoppers can add items to the cart or wishlist directly from the homepage, while mobile users enjoy quick and easy filter resets.
Start with a beautiful, conversion-focused theme immediately after installation—no extra setup needed.
02
Product Videos
Rich Product Presentation: Add YouTube or Vimeo videos to any product gallery, alongside images. Videos stream externally to save server space and display seamlessly in product pages.
Flexible Settings and Integration: Control autoplay and image/video order globally or per product. Videos are supported in export/import and via REST API for smooth integration.
Boost engagement and sales by showcasing products in motion with high-quality video content.
03
Performance Booster with Varnish Full-Page Cache
Performance Under Heavy Load: Pre-saved copies of your pages are instantly delivered from server memory, drastically reducing database queries and improving load times.
Enterprise-Grade Speed: Especially beneficial for stores with large catalogs or peak traffic. Technical setup may be required, as Varnish isn’t supported by all hosts.
Your store stays fast even under heavy workload, improving conversions and customer satisfaction.
04
Payments by Country
Tailored Checkout Experience: Assign payment methods to specific countries. Customers only see the options available in their location, avoiding confusion or failed checkouts.
Flexible and Global: Perfect for businesses selling internationally, without the need to create separate storefronts.
Provide localized payment experiences that increase trust and checkout completion rates.
05
PHP 8.3 Support (Test Mode)
Future-Proof Platform: CS-Cart 4.19 includes support for PHP 8.3, while also continuing to support PHP 7.4 and higher. Known issues have been resolved, and full official support is forthcoming.
Stay ahead with a platform prepared for the latest PHP updates, ensuring long-term stability and compatibility.
06
USPS API Update
Seamless Shipping Transition: USPS has discontinued its old Web Tools APIs, which will stop working in January 2026. CS-Cart 4.19 introduces support for the new USPS APIs, ensuring uninterrupted shipping rate calculations.
Future-Ready Setup: Switching is simple—just create a new USPS shipping method, connect your USPS Developer Portal account, and enter your API credentials. Once confirmed, your store is ready for the transition.
Stay compliant with USPS requirements and keep your shipping operations running smoothly beyond 2026.
07
Last But Not Least
Optimized Storefront: Nova replaces Responsive and Bright, becoming the new default theme for future releases.
Enhanced Reliability: Continued improvements to ensure stable storefront performance and smooth navigation.
With CS-Cart 4.19, your store becomes faster, smarter, and more flexible—ready for today’s eCommerce challenges.
Scale Without Limits
