July 2023

Happy July! Those of us in the Northern Hemisphere are enjoying a little summertime R&R, as we continue pushing forward on Craft CMS 4.5 and 5.0, Craft Commerce 4.3 and 5.0, a major update to our Stripe gateway plugin, and Craft Cloud.

Craft Console Updates for Organizations

craftcms.com

Organizations in Craft Console can now have multiple owners, and each organization now has its own dedicated billing info.

We’ve also made a couple improvements to the license purchase flow in the past week: Craft 3.8.15 and 4.4.15 now include a notice at the bottom of the control panel that makes it easy to purchase all trialed licenses on Craft Console; and license line items in Craft Console now include an “Auto-renew” toggle right in the cart.
