OXID eShop 7.3.0
Release date: 2025-06-17
For a short overview of changes, please see our Release Notes.
New Features
Support for PHP 8.4
OXID eShop 7.3 supports PHP versions 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4. With the latest PHP version you can ensure secure and future-proof operation of your shop.
New OXID Controller Management
Current OXID eShop version provides a new way of introducing controllers in extensions. You can now add controllers using the service container of the OXID Framework. This method leads to easier handling, more flexibility and better testability. Therefore this is meant to be best practice from now on but the well-known route is still supported at the moment.
Streamlined Use of Environment Variables
Another new possibility of the OXID Framework is the use of .env files to define environment variables. With this method you can securely integrate them into your OXID eShop application, making it easier to manage sensitive configuration values and environment-specific settings.
New & Updated OXID Extensions
While several OXID extensions were updated to be used with OXID eShop 7.3, we also announce an improved Visual CMS version, new features for the Security Module and two completely new tools you can add free of charge to your OXID eShop application:
OXID eShop Admin Tools
Install the new OXID eShop Admin Tools to execute often used tasks with a simple click of a button. In current version you can clear the whole cache or specific caches directly from the shop’s administration area. Additionally you can also run the tasks using the OXAPI. More features are coming and we are happy to hear from you what tasks you want to trigger in the future with this tool.
OXID eShop Consistency Check Tool
The new OXID eShop Consistency Check Tool allows for better data maintenance by introducing commands for identifying unused or unassigned image files. The tool can move or delete affected images but comes with a dry-run mode for safe testing in the first place.
OXID eShop Security Module
A secure shop is important and the OXID eShop Security Module assists you achieving this goal. The module provides options for password policies since OXID eShop 7.2 but with the updated module version 2.0, it now also supports text and audio CAPTCHA integration for several forms. This can protect against automated bot attacks. Coming with the module, you can configure different CAPTCHA methods and desired password policies directly from the shop’s administration area.
OXID eShop Visual CMS
Our content management system Visual CMS is integrated in OXID eShop Enterprise and Professional Edition. With updated shop 7.3, the Visual CMS 8 is introduced. This version replaces Grunt with the blazing fast frontend build tool Vite. In addition, several issues were fixed and code got cleaned.
OXID eShop Enterprise B2B Edition
Together with OXID eShop Enterprise, Professional and Community Edition, we also release the OXID eShop Enterprise B2B Edition in version 7.3. Besides maintained compatibility with OXID eShop 7.3 and therefore all new functionality, the B2B exclusive budget and approval feature got updated with a new option: Allow the chief buyer to set a secondary budget limit to allow buyers to place smaller orders without requiring approval.
For more information, see the (password-protected) documentation OXID eShop Enterprise B2B Edition.
