People wanted the Orders Status History table updated too in Quick Status Update so I did it. If you are looking for this change, grab the latest copy from the Free Software Add Ons area in Zen Cart.

Couponing ideas for your Store
A great post from Elastic Path’s Linda Bustos (@Roxyyo) contains lots of ideas on coupon creation in your online store.
Update to Stock by Attributes for Zen Cart
My initial merge to 1.3.9h had a bug – if you upgraded to 1.4.12 of Stock by Attributes, please grab 1.4.13 from the Free Software Add Ons. It only changes one file:
./includes/modules/pages/shopping_cart/header_php.php
Zen Cart 100% coupon on download still creates order with status pending
If you have set configuration->GV Coupons->Default Order Status For Zero Balance Orders to Processing, but your download orders still stay at Pending, this may help:
In 1.3.8 and 1.3.9, orders with sales tax which are reduced to 0 through a coupon still have a tiny non-zero value in their order total, so the following check in includes/classes/order.php fails:
if ($this->info['total'] == 0) {
this is on line 568 in 1.3.9h and line 554 in 1.3.8a.
change this to
if ($this->info['total'] < 0.01) {
and it will work.
Note: This solution has also been posted to the Zen Cart forum.
Adding a Charity Contribution Program to your Zen Cart
You can now easily offer customers the ability to “round up” their
purchases to the next dollar or two for charity with my Zen Cart
Roundup for Charity extension.
The Zen Cart Better Together Centerbox
Better Together offers can now be displayed on the main page using my Zen Cart Better Together Centerbox contribution.
And if both of the items in a Better Together linkage are products with no attributes, you can add the “I Want Both” button in the Centerbox for just $19.95! I Want Both works just like Add both to Cart and Buy Both Now, but it’s for the Better Together Centerbox (instead of the Promotional Page or the Product Info Page).
