A new update is available for DragonByte eCommerce by DragonByte Technologies.
This version, frankly, contains too many changes and features to detail them all
See the changelog for a full list.
There are a few features and changes worth highlighting, however!
it is now possible to directly sell user upgrades within eCommerce. Purchasing a user upgrade skips the normal order process and instead takes you directly to the normal XenForo page for purchasing said user upgrade. This enables you to craft beautiful product pages for your user upgrades, without relying on customers guessing that they are available!
You can now add custom fields to download versions. You can already see this in action here @ DBTech; I've back-filled the "Minimum Platform Version" and "Minimum PHP Version" for all XenForo products. This feature can help alleviate problems where your customers who didn't read the changelog (that's not you, because you're awesome like that) won't be surprised when they attempt to install your product.
The checkout page has also received numerous changes and improvements based on customer feedback. It should now be more user friendly for guest customers who need an account during purchase, and should also be easier to understand once they get to the main checkout screen.
Other than that, a bunch of UX issues and bugs have also been taken care of.
