13 April 2023

Phoca Cart, the popular e-commerce extension for Joomla!, has released a new version that brings several exciting new features to the table. The highlight of the release is the addition of AI tasks for products, which uses artificial intelligence to create product descriptions, long descriptions, features, and meta descriptions. This feature promises to save time for store owners and make the process of creating product descriptions more efficient.

Phoca Cart has also added new template overrides, including an off-canvas layout for search, wish list, comparison, cart, and currency modules. The new template overrides give store owners more customization options and allow them to create a more unique shopping experience for their customers. To see the new template overrides in action, check out the Phoca Cart demo website.

Other additions include support for native HTML loading="lazy" attribute, the option to hide tax and/or netto prices, support for subforms in payment edit, and optimization for mobile views. Phoca Cart is also now ready for PHP 8.2 and Joomla 4.2, ensuring that it remains compatible with the latest technologies.
