ChargePanda - PHP Script to Sell Digital Products, Downloads, Subscriptions & Licenses v1.2.1

v1.2.1 — April 13, 2026​

If you are upgrading from v1.2.0, the auto-update feature was broken in that release because config/core.php was accidentally excluded from the package. Before you can check for updates or run the in-app updater, you must manually upload config/core.php from this release to the same location on your server (config/core.php). Once the file is in place, the updater will work normally.

This is a patch release with important fixes and quality-of-life improvements for both store owners and customers.

What's New​

• Registration Fields — admins can now create custom fields that appear on the registration form, letting you collect any extra information from customers at sign-up. Each field can optionally be shown at registration and/or be editable by the customer later from their account. There is also a new option to show billing details (phone, company, address) on the registration form so you can collect them upfront.
• Unified Account Settings Page — customers now manage their profile, billing details, custom field answers, and password all from a single Account Settings page instead of navigating between separate sections.
• Social Login Expanded — admins can now enable additional social login providers (Google, GitHub, GitLab, LinkedIn, Bitbucket, Slack, Twitch, and Twitter/X). The social login settings page in the admin panel has been redesigned to be much easier to read and configure.

Bug Fixes​

• Currency now shows correctly throughout the admin panel — prices and totals were displaying as $ (US dollars) even when a different currency was configured; this is now fixed everywhere
• Product image removals are saved properly — when you removed an image from a product's gallery and saved, the image would reappear on the next page load; it now stays removed as expected
• Rich text editor no longer overflows — the description editor in the admin panel had a scrollbar issue when expanded; it now behaves correctly and stays within its container
