CODGuard
Changelog

What shipped, and when.

Every release, including the things we took away. A changelog that only lists additions is a marketing page with dates on it.

v1.6.0

24 June 2026

Per-order fee removed

Billing is now a single, predictable idea: you pay for messages, and nothing else varies with order volume.

  • RemovedThe $0.05 per COD/partial order verification fee. An order that sends no message now costs nothing.
  • ImprovedBilling page values historic messages at the rate frozen at send time rather than the current plan rate.
  • FixedMonthly usage counters no longer double-count webhook retries.

v1.5.0

30 May 2026

Partial payments via draft orders

Deposits now check the real products out at a discount instead of using placeholder products — no inventory side effects.

  • AddedDeposit + balance-on-delivery flow, with a configurable upfront percentage.
  • AddedAutomatic Shopify order edit that swaps deposit lines for the real products on order creation.
  • ImprovedVariant prices are fetched server-side so the deposit cannot be tampered with client-side.
  • ImprovedBalance is split proportionally across cart lines, with rounding applied to the last line.

v1.4.0

8 May 2026

Address correction over WhatsApp

Fulfilment can now fix an undeliverable address without a phone call or a manual retype.

  • AddedAbandoned-checkout tracking for shoppers who started OTP but did not convert.

v1.3.0

16 April 2026

Modal design system

The storefront modal became fully themeable, with a live preview and editable copy throughout.

  • AddedColour, radius, padding, shadow, typography and button controls with live preview.
  • AddedEvery step title, subtitle and button label is now editable.
  • ImprovedDerived hover, focus and tint states are computed with color-mix(), so one primary colour re-derives the palette.
  • FixedModal now renders reliably inside cart drawers on themes that mount them late.

v1.2.0

27 March 2026

Checkout enforcement via Shopify Functions

  • AddedPayment customization function that hides COD when business rules disallow it.
