Here are the key changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Customers are no longer forced through multiple steps. They immediately see all the relevant fields and fill them out in any convenient order.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can tweak the new checkout page as you see fit. Use the block manager to add and remove profile fields, move parts of the page, hide them, or change their looks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When you upgrade to 4.10.1, the checkout page won\u2019t change without your permission. To get the new checkout page, go to <strong>Add-ons \u2192 Manage add-ons<\/strong>, and uninstall the <strong>Step-by-Step Checkout [Deprecated]<\/strong> add-on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"555\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image16-1.png?resize=800%2C555&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Meet CS-Cart &amp; Multi-Vendor 4.10.1 with New Checkout and Product Variations: photo 2 - CS-Cart Blog\" class=\"wp-image-8348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image16-1.png?resize=1024%2C710&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image16-1.png?resize=300%2C208&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image16-1.png?resize=768%2C532&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image16-1.png?resize=392%2C272&amp;ssl=1 392w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image16-1.png?resize=130%2C90&amp;ssl=1 130w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image16-1.png?w=770&amp;ssl=1 770w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Product_Variations_More_Powerful_and_out_of_Beta\"><\/span>Product Variations: More Powerful, and out of Beta<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Variations help you manage similar products with slight differences (for example, in color or other properties) and present them to your customers. In version 4.10.1, we have reworked variations from the ground up: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A <a aria-label=\"brief demonstration (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/product-variations-how-to-effectively-manage-similar-products-in-cs-cart-and-multi-vendor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">brief demonstration<\/a> has everything that a new CS-Cart user needs to work with the new variations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/forum.cs-cart.com\/t\/variations-2-0-in-cs-cart-multi-vendor-4-10-1\/56048\">This post at the forum<\/a> is for those who used the old variations; it covers the important changes in 4.10.1.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Product variations are now out of beta, so you may expect more third-party add-ons to support them. We\u2019ll continue improving variations, but their architecture will remain stable from now on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the upgrade to 4.10.1, you\u2019ll be asked to convert existing variations (and option combinations, if you wish) to new variations. The conversion is easy and automatic. We would have done it ourselves during the upgrade, but we needed to let you know what options we\u2019d be converting, and to what features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image15-1.png?resize=800%2C352&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Meet CS-Cart &amp; Multi-Vendor 4.10.1 with New Checkout and Product Variations: photo 3 - CS-Cart Blog\" class=\"wp-image-8349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image15-1.png?resize=1024%2C451&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image15-1.png?resize=300%2C132&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image15-1.png?resize=768%2C338&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image15-1.png?w=770&amp;ssl=1 770w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stores_and_Pickup_Points_New_Add-on_to_Replace_Store_Locator\"><\/span>Stores and Pickup Points: New Add-on to Replace Store Locator<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously, CS-Cart had an add-on called <strong>Store Locator<\/strong>.
