Drako Store | eCommerce Platform v2.0.1

New Features​

Added Product Bundles, You can now combine multiple products with custom discount percentages. Bundles appear on relevant product pages and in the cart when users have matching items, encouraging additional purchases while offering savings.

Improvements:​

• Improved homepage performance by caching data for logged-in users
• Improved cart feedback, added informative messages when adding products (already in cart, out of stock, etc.)
• Improved holiday effects system with new Easter and Black Friday themes, and added user toggle to enable/disable effects
• Increased CSRF token lifetime
• Improved Anti-Piracy Placeholder System for Faster Downloads
  • The anti-piracy placeholder system has been optimized for significantly faster downloads, especially for large files and archives. Previously, the system scanned every file for placeholders each time a user downloaded a product. Now, placeholder locations are pre-scanned and stored when you initially create or update a product, resulting in a lot faster download speeds.

Note: To enable faster downloads for existing products, you'll need to re-upload product files by updating each product and uploading the file again. New products and updates will automatically use the optimized system.
