The latest version of the beta may be downloaded from GitHub<\/a>.<\/p>\n There are numerous important changes in 2.6, but there are several that we wish to highlight.<\/p>\n CSV product import<\/strong><\/p>\n In version 2.5 we introduced improved product export<\/a>. On the heels of that, we have now introduced a robust and reliable product import method for Easy Digital Downloads. From the\u00a0Downloads > Tools\u00a0<\/em>> Import \/ Export\u00a0<\/em>page, you can now upload a CSV file of products and import them. This import process uses our batch processing API so can reliable handle hundreds or even thousands of products at a time.<\/p>\n The import process\u00a0includes a step where site administrators can map CSV columns to product fields, making the import capable of handling just about any CSV file.<\/p>\n CSV payment import<\/strong><\/p>\n Similarly to the CSV product import, we have also introduced a CSV importer for payment records.<\/p>\n Just like the product importer, site administrators are able to map the CSV columns to specific payment fields, making it possible to import just about any CSV file.<\/p>\n These two import options are designed to replace the rather unreliable CSV Manager plugin<\/a>.<\/p>\n Additional email address for customers<\/strong><\/p>\n As most people are aware, almost everyone has at least two email address. Some has as many as 5 or 10. It’s very common for customers to purchase\u00a0a product with one email address then come back later, log into their account, and use a different email.<\/p>\n In 2.6, we have introduced support for\u00a0secondary email addresses on customer records.<\/p>\n This enhancement makes record keeping easier and helps prevent customers from having multiple accounts. Customers can return to your site and purchase with any of the email addresses on their account and the purchases will be attributed properly.<\/p>\n Customer metadata API<\/strong><\/p>\n We have introduced a metadata API\u00a0for customers. This API is nearly identical to the standard WordPress postmeta and usermeta APIs except it is for customer records.<\/p>\n The\u00a0EDD_Customer<\/a>\u00a0class has new helper methods for adding, updating, deleting, and retrieving metadata.<\/p>\n These methods work just like the standard WordPress metadata functions, except they are methods within the EDD_Customer class.<\/p>\n PayPal refunds<\/strong><\/p>\n For version 2.6, one of the most significant\u00a0features for store owners is the ability to refund PayPal payments directly from the\u00a0View Order Details <\/em>screen.<\/p>\n To initiate a refund, simply change the status to\u00a0Refunded\u00a0<\/em>and check the box to refund the payment in PayPal:<\/p>\n Refunding PayPal payments is made possible through the introduction of additional settings in\u00a0Downloads > Settings > Payment Gateways > PayPal Standard\u00a0<\/em>for account API keys. In order to refund payments to PayPal, API keys from the PayPal account must be set.<\/p>\n EDD REST API V2<\/strong><\/p>\n We are including\u00a0v2\u00a0<\/em>of our REST API in Easy Digital Downloads 2.6, which\u00a0adds several enhancements to the API and introduces a few breaking changes.<\/p>\nImportant changes<\/h3>\n
