CS-Cart 4.11.4 has been released with bug fixes and improvements!
Info:
Changes to CS-Cart for marketplaces (Multi-Vendor)
Added the ability to edit the texts of the mobile application in the admin panel. Multi-Vendor Plus and Ultimate has mobile apps for buyers and sellers. Now these apps take their texts from your marketplace. Texts can be changed in the settings of the “Mobile Application" module on the “Translations” tab. New mobile apps have this feature by default. But if your application has already been released, then it's easy to get this functionality — upgrade to version 4.11.4 and ask us to release a new version of your application.
Added a new Moderation menu. If you use the module “Premoderation of sellers' data”, then now you have a way to quickly find out which products and sellers are waiting for verification.
Now the marketplace logo is used by default for sellers. Previously, if the seller did not provide his logo, then the theme logo was used. This bug is fixed in 4.11.4.
A new module “Payment methods depending on the country” has appeared in Multi-Vendor Ultimate. It allows you to hide or show payment methods depending on the country that the buyer has chosen. This is useful if you have a large marketplace that works all over the world.
General changes
The ability to generate two checks has been added to the Robokassa payment method. This is necessary to comply with Federal Law 54-FZ. In the payment method settings, it is now possible to specify at which order status to punch the first check, and at which — the second.
JSON-LD markup has been added for products. Google recommends the JSON-LD format for markup Schema.org . Some of our customers have reported that using JSON-LD increases the likelihood that Google will show more information about the product next to it in search results.
Added REST API for managing product variations. This change is mostly interesting for third-party developers. The API will allow them to develop applications that can manage variations and groups of variations.
More information on the buyer's edit page. Previously, there was only the number of orders and paid orders, as well as all the expenses of the buyer. Now there are the dates of registration and the first/last order. So you can get a more complete picture of the buyer.

Widget mentions have been removed from the interface. Using the widget, you could embed your store into another site. But this functionality was not widely used, so we decided to gradually abandon it and concentrate on other parts of CS-Cart. If you have a widget embedded somewhere, it will not stop working after the update. But the widget code will not be displayed in the interface.
The search for products in the showcase has been improved. Now the search is looking for all the words, not an exact match. This way it is more likely that the desired product will appear in the search results.
The Searchanise module now works with the other two. Searchanise is a cloud search for a store that can do more than the built-in CS-Cart search. But previously, Searchanise could not work together with two important modules: “Product Variations” and “General goods for sellers”. This is fixed in version 4.11.4.
