Privacy & PHP Compatibility Improvements

Version 2.12.0 is out with a strong focus on privacy and PHP compatibility. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new:

Privacy-Friendly License Activation Flow

It came to our attention that during license activation flow, our SDK was sending the WordPress user's email address and the name. While we didn't do anything with this data in our server, and it was only required for orphaned licenses, we understand it can be seen as a privacy issue.

Starting from version 2.12.0, this data will no longer be sent.

In case of orphaned licenses, the SDK will now prompt for the user’s consent before proceeding with activation.

Improved PHP 8+ Compatibility

We’ve completed another round of improvements for PHP 8+ compatibility, especially targeting PHP 8.3 and 8.4. This is part of our ongoing effort to support modern PHP versions while still maintaining compatibility with PHP 7.0 — the current minimum required by WordPress. If you run into any PHP-related issues, please report them to us.

Improved Composer Integration

Thanks to community feedback, we’ve made two key improvements to our Composer support:

1. Our main loading file start.php no longer breaks in CI/CD pipelines or while running tests.
2. We now export the composer.json file from our Git repository, allowing for manual package installations.

Update Pricing Page App

The embedded pricing page app has been updated.

This version includes a fix where, if no annual discount is available, the UI will correctly hide it instead of showing a meaningless “0” discount.

Enhanced checkout/purchaseCompleted Filter

Following wp.org guidelines, we transitioned our Checkout flow from an iFrame to a redirect-based or fullscreen approach. In the process, the checkout/purchaseCompleted filter was inadvertently broken.

This version not only restores the filter but also enhances it by supporting Promises. Example usage:

my_fs()->add_filter('checkout/purchaseCompleted', function () {
    return <<<JS
function (data) {
    return fetch(myPlugin.ajaxUrl, {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        },
        body: JSON.stringify({
            action: 'my_plugin_purchase_completed',
            data: data,
            nonce: myPlugin.nonce,
        }),
    });
}
JS;

The UI will now wait for the AJAX request to complete before redirecting. For most use cases, however, we recommend using a beacon request.

New Filter: is_pricing_page_visible

You can now control the visibility of the SDK-generated pricing page via the new is_pricing_page_visible filter. This is especially useful if you’d like to hide our default pricing page and instead display a custom one.

Debug Page UI Improvements

We’ve revamped the Debug page UI for better usability:

• All sections are now collapsible.
• Information is grouped logically into segmented sections.
• Additional diagnostics have been added to help us debug more efficiently.
