OCCP has made it to 1.7! This major Plugin update removes the dependance on a merchant file stored locally within the WP e-Commerce Plugin’s ‘merchants’ directory, what this means for you is a more reliable Plugin (no risk of file permissions or overzealous WordPress security Plugins) as well as Plugin update safe templating support for the Checkout form fields coming just around the corner.

Also included in this release is a few validation changes affecting American Express and for new store’s where no accepted cards have been selected. I’ll be releasing label support for accepted cards in the next Plugin update as I want to also overhaul the e-mail engine that is sent to the store owner to support templating via the Settings page (as is done for the Purchase Receipt/Admin Report) as well as HTML support via Printable Invoices (ala Store Invoices in the new year).

As always, download your Plugin update from Premium Plugin Updates or jump over to the Plugin detail page for more information.
