  1. We are very excited to announce the release of CubeCart 6.5. 

    After huge demand for improved search this version features a totally new search engine powered by Elasticsearch. This will allow your customers to locate products faster and with more relevance. An interactive search-as-you-type tool allows for immediate product access (see video below).

    Elasticsearch is included as standard with official CubeCart Hosting and our staff will make any code changes necessary for it to work with custom or 3rd party skins. Alternatively please contact your hosting company to check for Elasticsearch availability. For more information talk to us at [email protected].

    Developer Notes: 
    For those using a custom or 3rd party skins Elasticsearch will need coding. The following attached document picks out the HTML, CSS and JS changes required. Please note that we can offer this service under our technical support services and to new and existing CubeCart hosted merchants.

  2. Am I using an old version?

    Many CubeCart merchants are still using old PayPal integrations. To check please login to the back office of your store. Go to Manage Extensions and look for PayPal Commerce. If your PayPal integration has a different name then it's time to upgrade.

    The new PayPal integration offers, Pay in 3, debit and credit cards,
    and a better checkout experience for your customers. It’s free and easy to setup.


    Great new features - No additional cost.


    Includes Pay in 3 at no additional cost.
    With Pay in 31, your customers can pay over time, while you get paid up front.

    Comes with Venmo and NextGen appeal (US only)
    Venmo users spend 2X more annually on online purchases then other online buyers.2 And it's a popular payment option for Millennial and Gen Z shoppers.3

    Add credit and debit card processing.
    Accept all major credit and debit cards, even if your customers don’t have accounts with PayPal. Keep the entire checkout flow on your site for a seamless shopping experience. 

    Improved checkout to help grow sales.
    We streamlined the checkout process to help speed up customer transaction times and reduce cart abandonment — especially for those on mobile.

    Accept country-specific payment methods. 
    Offer your international customers their preferred payment options to help drive conversion. 

    AI fraud detection.
    Our AI software helps protect your business against fraud and evolving cyber threats to promote peace of mind for your business and customers.

    Did we mention it’s free?
    This free PayPal update is already available for your CubeCart store. Simply install the PayPal Commerce extension found at https://www.cubecart.com/extensions/plugins/paypal-commerce by following the instructions in the Documentation tab. Once connected your old PayPal integrations should be disabled automatically. 

    To check they have been disabled please login to the back office of your store and got to Manage Extensions. From here please ensure that the checkbox next to each of the old PayPal extensions is unchecked. There should only be one PayPal extension enabled, PayPal Commerce.
