Localisation Improvements
Improving the experience for international users
We have improved the availability and quality of translations in all of WHMCS's supported languages, both admin and client side, to improve the experience for international users.
Leveraging Machine Translations to provide translations for presently untranslated strings, this will allow us to deliver complete translations for all WHMCS's supported languages, along with complete translations for all new features at launch.
In combination with this, we'll be launching a new translations portal where you will be able to submit suggestions for changes and improvements.
PHP 8.2 Support
Now with support for PHP 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.1 and 8.2
This release adds support for PHP 8.2. This is in addition to all currently supported versions to enable a seamless upgrade experience.
To upgrade to PHP 8.2, you must first upgrade to WHMCS 8.11 or later, and then make the change of PHP version. Please note you will also need to ensure you are running ionCube Loaders Version 13 or higher.
Ticket Closure Controls
Restrict the ability for your customers and guest ticket owners to close tickets
Delivering one of our top requested features, this release introduces the ability to control if customers and guests are permitted to close tickets.
These controls are added both at a department and individual ticket level, allowing you to define both a default state for tickets opened in a given department, as well as the ability to restrict on-demand for individual tickets at any point in time.
PayPal Payments Auto-Migration
Seamlessly transition to the new PayPal Checkout Experience
Following a successful launch in March, the latest PayPal Payments Integration is now the recommended integration for accepting payments by PayPal.
PayPal Payments offers many benefits over previous PayPal integrations including a streamlined checkout experience, faster repeat checkouts, and full flexibility to auto-bill both variable term and variable amount subscriptions.
In WHMCS 8.11, simply activate the new integration and your customers will be automatically transitioned to PayPal Payments from any legacy PayPal integrations the first time they manually initiate a PayPal checkout in future.
Stripe Restricted API Keys
Reduced permission scope for Stripe API Keys
Stripe is mandating the switch to Restricted API Keys (RAK for short) for all gateway connections in future. This is in an effort to increase security and reduce the permissions granted to 3rd party integrations such as the one used by WHMCS.
We've automated this process using a WHMCS application published on the Stripe App Marketplace. You can provision your new restricted keys using this application link. WHMCS 8.11 will prompt you to do this and provide further guidance.
Improved Admin Invoice Experience
A more intuitive and responsive experience with reduced page loads and real-time invoice total updates.
Updated reCAPTCHA v3 Support
WHMCS now supports reCAPTCHA v3. Give automated bots a harder time with the latest version of reCAPTCHA.
