Welcome to perhaps the biggest update to eCommerce since its launch!

With over two dozen new features, changes and fixes, there's something for everyone. Without further ado, I'll talk about some of the bigger features and changes made in this version.


The biggest new feature is the introduction of an "All-Access Pass" (AAP) feature. Designed for digital downloads, this feature allows you to define a user group to have free access to your products. Licenses created via the AAP will remain valid until such a time as the access lapses (the user is no longer a member of the defined user group).

The idea is that you can sell access to this new user group via the XenForo "User Upgrade" system, with promotional messaging directing users towards said upgrade, which will then enable them to create AAP licenses with one click.

This setup allows you to offer a subscription price for your products, with the full power of XenForo's payment profile system as valid subscription methods.


The next big feature is an entirely new product type; Serial Key.

The Serial Key product type can either use a list of pre-defined keys, or auto-generate keys based on a formula you enter when creating the product. When users purchase a key, an unused key is selected from the list (or generated), and assigned to that license. Buyers will then be able to view their serial key from their license list, same as any other product.


Lastly, SVG files are now accepted for product icons and invoice icons. This allows you to create icons that look good at any resolution.


There's also been over a dozen changes and bug fixes, check the full change log for the details.
