Other Key Features Rolled Out in the Update
Alongside the new shipping carriers and payment gateways, EasyStore v1.7.0 brings more control to how you can run your online store. These include:
Improved Order Management with Smarter Invoicing
With this latest update, EasyStore has enhanced how you manage your store’s finances with expanded invoicing options.
Merchants can now define their own invoice number format from EasyStore’s General settings, making record-keeping easier and ensuring invoices align with your business requirements.
Operate More Efficiently With Seller Tax ID Configuration
With this new update, you can manage your tax registration numbers for different regions, adding an extra layer of compliance and professionalism.
You can now add your official Seller Tax ID (also known as a sales tax registration number) directly within the Tax settings. Not only does it keep your store compliant with regional tax laws, but it also reassures customers that they’re buying from a trusted, professional business.
Miscellaneous Updates and Fixes
To enhance your experience with EasyStore, we've fixed some bugs and refined some features, which include:
Clear Manual Payment Instructions in Order Details: Customers using manual payment methods (such as bank transfers) can now view your additional instructions directly in their order details, reducing confusion and ensuring smoother transactions.
Accurate State Names for Italy: Certain state names have been corrected, ensuring proper address formatting and improving shipping accuracy within Italy.
Better Currency Formatting: We have fixed inconsistencies in currency display, so amounts are always presented correctly.

And as always, we’d love to hear your thoughts. Tell us in the comments which shipping carriers you plan to use!
However, once again, Portugal seems to have been forgotten…
➡️ No integration with Ifthenpay, the most used payment system in Portugal.
➡️ No support for CTT, the most common shipping provider in Portugal.
➡️ And even in PayPal, the PayPal Fee Handling feature is still missing.
These were long-standing requests, and although we were told they would be taken into consideration, it looks like they weren’t. Both Ifthenpay and CTT are already available in other platforms such as Joomla’s VirtueMart – so why not in EasyStore?
It’s disappointing to see these key features for Portuguese merchants not being included. Hopefully, EasyStore will soon listen to the needs of this market.
We will definitely pass your request to the dev team.
We will gradually be including more payment gateways to EasyStore. Stay tuned for future updates!
