Bug Resolutions

  • Gift Card Refunds for Fraudulent Orders: Gift cards redeemed on orders marked as fraudulent by the store will be correctly refunded.
  • WordStock Order Export Fixes:
    1. Trailing Semicolon Removal: The trailing semicolon will no longer be added to the Payment Methods List field in the WordStock POS order export when a gift card is the only payment method used. (Reported by Jeff from Wordstock).
    2. PayPal Display: This is applicable only to stores that have not yet migrated to 2.0 and use the WordStock Order Exporter. 'PayPal' will now correctly display in the Payment Methods List column when orders are migrated. Orders placed directly on the 2.0 site are unaffected.
