v5.3.5 | November 5, 2026

A Black Friday upgrade page for Pro customers, a new “Stripe-managed Risk” option for Stripe Express, and a round of fixes across Stripe Connect payments, store reviews, and vendor permissions.

Payments
  • Update: Stripe Express now has a “Stripe-managed Risk” setting, so vendors can connect on Stripe platforms where Stripe handles seller losses.
  • Fix: Stripe Connect now asks vendors to add a store address before connecting and completes connect and disconnect without errors, so vendors can set up payouts without getting stuck.
  • Fix: The Stripe Connect payment section now stays in place when the shipping method changes, and the Apple Pay and Google Pay buttons refresh on the cart page, so customers always have a working way to pay.
  • Fix: Legacy Stripe Connect vendor subscription packs now renew at the full pack price when a coupon is used, so the marketplace collects the correct amount on every renewal.
Privacy and security
  • Fix: Restricted cancelling a pending Vendor Verification request to the vendor who submitted it, so no vendor can cancel another vendor’s request.
  • Fix: Restricted reading store reviews through the REST API to store admins, so review data is not exposed to anyone else.
  • Fix: Hardened manual orders so vendors can only create them for their own customers and cannot change protected order meta, such as the commission.
Vendor dashboard
  • Update: The vendor report filters now support WooCommerce 11.3, so reports keep filtering correctly on the latest WooCommerce.
Products
  • Fix: Auction custom fields added with Product Form Manager now appear only on Simple Auction products, so every other product type keeps a clean form.
Orders and shipping
  • Fix: The Country dropdown in vendor Distance Rate Shipping settings now opens above the rates table, so vendors can pick a country without the list being hidden.
Storefront
  • Fix: A store’s rating now counts every published store review, not only the newest ones, so customers see an accurate score on the store page.
Admin tools
  • New: A Black Friday upgrade page now offers Pro customers discounts on plan upgrades, mobile apps, and wePOS, so the seasonal offers are all in one place.
  • Fix: The admin Store Reviews tab counts now follow the vendor filter and include pending reviews, so admins see accurate numbers while moderating.
  • Fix: The admin header now shows the license plan name, such as Business 2 Year, instead of “Unlicensed”, so admins can confirm their license at a glance.
