![New in CartPops 2.0](/blume-assets/content/content/changelog/img/new-in-cartpops-2-0.png)

CartPops 2.0.0 is a major release. Read [Upgrading to V2](/upgrading-to-v2) before you update from V1. Developers should also read [Upgrading to V2: for developers](/upgrading-to-v2/developers).

:::warning[Requirements changed]
CartPops 2.0.0 requires PHP 8.1 or newer, WordPress 6.5 or newer, and WooCommerce 9.0 or newer. Back up before upgrading from V1.
:::

## New

- Slide-out cart drawer, with native Cart Drawer and Cart Launcher blocks, in Free and Pro.
- In-drawer product recommendations, with cross-sell and upsell strategies.
- Translated into 44 languages, including the settings screens and block editor panels. See [Translating CartPops](/guides/translating).

## New in Pro

- Free Shipping Meter block, with reward tiers for free gifts and discounts.
- Bundle builder with automatic bundle discounts, and smart add-ons applied as WooCommerce cart fees.
- Drawer Smart Bar with notification, spotlight, and rule-based discounts.
- Conversion analytics dashboard with automatic daily cleanup.

## Improved

- Product and category selection, reward configuration, keyboard navigation, and coupon updates.
- Design presets apply as one undoable change. Resetting settings updates the editor and the saved settings together.
- Upgrade: your supported V1 settings, customizations, and licensing state are preserved. Unsupported values are kept as recovery evidence.

## Changed

- Requires PHP 8.1+, WordPress 6.5+, and WooCommerce 9.0+.
- The beta popup and standalone bar presentations, and V1 automation-rule execution, are retired. See [Upgrading to V2](/upgrading-to-v2) for what replaces them, and [Upgrading to V2: for developers](/upgrading-to-v2/developers) for integration replacements.
- Normal deactivation and uninstall keep your customer data. Permanent removal is a separate administrator operation.

## Compatibility

- WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).
- WooCommerce Cart & Checkout blocks.

:::note
Pro features require Pro access. Free keeps working without a license.
