Whats New in CS-Cart 4.21.1?

01

Better Product Lists for Faster Shopping

A More Interactive Cart Experience
Customers no longer need to open the shopping cart just to verify what they've added. Products added to the cart are now clearly marked directly on product lists and product pages.

Easier Product Image Browsing
Browsing multiple product images now requires only moving the cursor over the product image. There are no navigation arrows to click, creating a cleaner interface with fewer interactions.

Optional Sorting Controls
Store owners can now hide the product sorting selector completely using the new Hide Sorting setting, giving greater control over the storefront experience.

Help customers browse faster and complete purchases with fewer clicks.

Expanded JSON-LD Support

CS-Cart now includes two additional Schema.org markup types.

Organization
Search engines and AI assistants can receive additional information about your business, including:

business name;
logo;
email address;
phone number.

BreadcrumbList
Breadcrumb markup allows Google to display navigation paths instead of raw URLs, making search results clearer and easier to understand.

Help search engines and AI services better understand your storefront and its content.

Modern Pickup Point Architecture

Built for Future Shipping Integrations
We've redesigned how pickup point information is stored throughout the platform.

The new architecture creates a unified foundation for pickup locations across different shipping providers and simplifies future integrations.

It also enables pickup point selection in the CS-Cart Mobile App for Multi-Vendor.

Prepare your marketplace for future shipping integrations and a more consistent delivery experience.

05

Smarter Google Maps Integration

Better Cost Control
Google Maps APIs are widely used across eCommerce but operate on usage-based pricing.

CS-Cart now reminds administrators to configure spending limits and usage alerts when entering their Google Maps API credentials.

We've also optimized how the platform communicates with Google Maps APIs, reducing unnecessary requests and improving protection against automated traffic.

Reduce unexpected API costs while keeping map functionality reliable.

Payment & Platform Improvements

Stripe Restricted Keys (Multi-Vendor)
CS-Cart now supports Restricted Keys alongside traditional Secret Keys for Stripe.
Marketplace vendors can grant only the permissions required for payment processing, improving account security when configuring payment methods.

Availability: All Multi-Vendor editions.

Updated UPS Integration
The built-in UPS integration has been updated to the latest supported API version for improved compatibility and more reliable shipping calculations.
