Here is the list of each release since we started the HikaShop adventure...

HikaShop 6.8.1

Release date : November, 5 2026

Security (1)

• The frontend file download request is now stricter about what it accepts; before, a specially crafted request could download a file it was not meant to give. Updating is recommended.

Bug fixes (6)

• A mass action CSV export whose columns come from a table missing from the database, such as the serials of the HikaSerial mass action plugin 1.x, now leaves those columns out with a warning instead of failing with a database error (1146 Table ... doesn't exist).
• On the PayPal Checkout payment page, the PayPal, Pay Later and card buttons no longer stick out of their frame, and the buttons of the local payment methods, such as SEPA Lastschrift, have the same width and are centred like them. Before, the buttons were 25 pixels wider than their frame, so the buttons of the local payment methods sat off centre and narrower.
• The message of a required field left empty shows once, under the field, and no longer a second time inside its label ("First name*Please complete the First name field"). Before, on the pages where Joomla's form validation is loaded, Joomla wrote its message in the label next to the one HikaShop shows under the field, and the label read the message too.
• The CSV export of a mass action now writes a column stored as MEDIUMTEXT, such as the currency and tax information of an order once the update converted its table to utf8mb4, as text. Before, only varchar, text, longtext and datetime columns were written as text, so the others were written as a number and every order showed the same long number.
• The next steps and the order recap of the thank-you page now have a space between each label and its value. Before, a shop on the old frontend CSS or on a CSS file made before 6.8.0 showed them stuck together, such as Sub total42.99.
• The setting that sets the number of days to refund a withdrawal now has its tooltip in the configuration. Before, it had none.
