BigCommerce for WordPress 4.34.0 for Sep 15, 2022

4.34.0

View release 4.34.0 on GitHub.

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.

  • Added a new filter: bigcommerce/product/variant_price 

    • This hook returns the calculated price for the variant and allows price changing per-variant. The example usage would be adding taxes, or some custom calculations, to a variant price.
