We found out that the default anti-spam system used in CS-Cart has been bypassed. To prevent further spam expanding, we&#8217;ve implemented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/recaptcha\/intro\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google reCAPTCHA<\/a>. It improves anti-bot validation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some advantages of Google reCAPTCHA:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>It&#8217;s strong.<\/strong> Google reCAPTCHA is hard to bypass for spam bots though it&#8217;s very easy to pass for people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>It&#8217;s user-friendly.<\/strong> Just tick the box and you passed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Solving reCAPTCHA helps others.<\/strong> Passing through CAPTCHAS preserves books, improves maps, and solves hard AI problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #f9cb9c; background: #ffe599;\">The add-on is installed and activated during the upgrade, but the <strong>old CAPTCHA will still be used until you configure the new add-on<\/strong>. We recommend switching to Google reCAPTCHA as soon as possible.\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Switch to Google reCAPTCHA:<\/p>\n<p>1. Go to <strong>Add-ons \u2192 Manage add-ons<\/strong>.<br \/>2. Find and click <strong>Google reCAPTCHA<\/strong> in the list of add-ons.<br \/>3. A pop-up window will open. Enter <strong>Site key<\/strong> and <strong>Secret token<\/strong>, then save your changes. The instructions on how to get the key and token are available <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/recaptcha\/intro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='other-improvements'  id=\"boomdevs_1\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Improvements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The correct fonts are displayed in email notifications.<\/strong> Open Sans is the default font for email notifications in CS-Cart. If this font was not installed in your system, a browser randomly chose one of the available fonts to use in notifications. Now, instead of using the random font the next default font that comes after Open Sans will be used. For example, if you don\u2019t have Open Sans installed in your system, the Helvetica font will be used instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fixed order notifications for 2Checkout payments in Multi-Vendor.<\/strong> Previously, neither administrator nor customer received order notifications when products in one order were bought from several vendors. Order notifications are now sent correctly when buying from several vendors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Store upgrade via console.<\/strong> The upgrade process through the console doesn\u2019t differ much from the one via the admin panel. But it is much easier for developers to apply the upgrades. <em>Note that this type of the upgrade process will be available starting from CS-Cart \/ Multi-Vendor 4.4.3 and higher.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out other changes and fixes in the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cs-cart.com\/latest\/history\/443.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">changelog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='how-to-get-version-4-4-3'  id=\"boomdevs_2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Get Version 4.4.3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Get the new version in the usual way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>If your upgrade subscription is still active, check the available upgrade on the <strong>Administration \u2192 Upgrade center<\/strong> page in your admin panel. During this first week of the release, we\u2019ll be distributing upgrade packages in batches, so as not to overload our servers. After the first week, we\u2019ll open the upgrade distribution fully. So if you don\u2019t see the available upgrade in your Upgrade center now, check for it later.
