Added
Added a new option Pricing nonce field to Appearance > Customizer > BigCommerce > Single > Product
This option allows nonce disabling in pricing requests on a single product page. If you use strong cache options that don't provide the ability to refresh page nonce, then disabling the nonce option allows for correct pricing requests to be performed.
