HikaShop 6.4.1

The PayPal Checkout plugin now supports payment method vaulting for recurring payments. When a customer places a recurring order, they are redirected to PayPal to approve saving their payment method. The vault token is stored on the customer account and can be used for merchant-initiated charges on subsequent orders via the onOrderAuthorizationRenew hook. This is compatible with HikaSerial subscriptions and the new Recurring Orders marketplace plugin.

The plugin has also been completely refactored: the deprecated paypal/paypal-checkout-sdk library (67 files, 603KB) has been replaced by a single lightweight API class with direct curl calls, reducing the plugin size and eliminating external dependency management. The payment page now also displays an order summary alongside the payment buttons so customers can review their order before paying.

The customer account sidebar (the navigation panel with links to orders, addresses, carts, wishlists, downloads, and affiliate) is now displayed on all account subpages.

This applies to both Joomla and WordPress. On WordPress, account subpage links now correctly stay on the account page instead of redirecting to controller-specific pages, so the sidebar remains visible throughout the customer's account navigation.

The shipping block on the checkout now has a "Dynamic address refresh" setting. When the shipping and address blocks are on the same checkout step, shipping methods automatically refresh as the user edits address fields (country, state, city, postal code) without requiring the address to be saved first. This provides a smoother checkout experience where the customer sees available shipping options update in real time.

Additionally, a new zone ordering column has been added so administrators can control the display order of countries and states in dropdown menus. Zones with a non-zero ordering value are sorted first, followed by the remaining zones alphabetically.

A new EC-CUBE v4.1 migration tool has been added to HikaShop's import system. It imports taxes, categories, products (with variants and prices), product images, customers, addresses, orders, and order items from an EC-CUBE database into HikaShop.

EC-CUBE is a popular Japanese e-commerce platform. This migration tool allows EC-CUBE store owners to move to HikaShop, a solution built from the start to support multi-currency and multi-lingual, allowing them to expand beyond the Japanese market. Combined with the Ship&Co shipping plugin for Japanese carriers and the LINE Pay payment plugin available on our marketplace, this provides a complete e-commerce solution for the Japanese market and beyond.

See the EC-CUBE migration documentation for setup instructions.

The datepicker custom field now supports a range mode for check-in / check-out date selection, designed for hotel bookings and similar use cases. It renders as a single inline calendar with two-month display where the user clicks once for the start date and again for the end date, with visual range highlighting. Configurable options include minimum and maximum number of nights and whether the last day is excluded.

The filter system is now extensible via plugins. The new onFilterTypeDisplay and onFilterDataLoad events allow plugins to register custom filter types and data types. The advanced datepicker plugin now provides two new filter types: a single date picker filter and a date range picker filter, both supporting dynamic display and date constraints.

When a filter targets a custom item field (e.g. a booking date), the selected value is automatically passed to the product page via the product link, pre-filling the corresponding field so the customer doesn't have to re-select it. Wildcard patterns like */2/* (all of February every year) are now supported in the excluded dates setting.

HikaShop 6.4.1 continues to strengthen WordPress support with many improvements:

Modules as Gutenberg blocks: HikaShop modules (mod_*) can now be installed via the HikaShop plugin installer on WordPress. They are automatically discovered and turned into WordPress widgets and Gutenberg blocks, with their XML settings rendered as block settings (dropdowns, checkboxes, etc.). For example, the new Comments Display module can be installed and used as a Gutenberg block with no WordPress-specific code needed.

Extension compatibility: SQL column rewriting for WordPress user table queries now detects any table alias and handles AS aliases correctly. The controller-to-page URL mapping is now filterable, allowing extensions like HikaSerial, HikaMarket and HikaAuction to register their controllers. Toolbar buttons now render properly, and a JCrypt compatibility shim has been added.

Plugin management: Plugin upgrades now merge files instead of deleting the folder, preserving user-installed extensions. After installing a plugin, the user is redirected to the plugin edit page. The Starter edition now uses the WordPress.org update system.

The "Round prices during calculations" setting now has a third option: "Yes, without rounding increment". This rounds prices at each calculation step using the currency's decimal places (for payment gateway compatibility), while applying the rounding increment only at display time.

This is useful for currencies like Japanese Yen (round to nearest 500) or Swiss Francs (round to nearest 0.05): you get gateway-compatible calculation rounding without the per-item accumulation errors that large rounding increments can cause.

Read more about the three modes in the configuration documentation.

The order auto-cancel plugin now lets you select which order statuses to target for cancellation (e.g. both "Created" and "Pending"). The cron frequency and the order age threshold are now separate settings. Cancelled orders get a history entry, and the time settings use a human-friendly delay picker instead of raw seconds.

The Google Products plugin now supports hasMerchantReturnPolicy and shippingDetails structured data in the JSON-LD on product pages, with per-product overrides via custom fields. Two new plugin events (onHikashopMicrodataProductInfo and onHikashopMicrodataExtraObjects) allow plugins to enrich the structured data for specific product types.

Several structured data issues have also been fixed: invalid carousels on listing pages without prices, missing bestRating property, and incorrect schema types for product lists.
