3.2.5 - Backend Changes (StackOverflow Corrections)

Over the past few months we've received more and more reports of Stack Overflow JavaScript crashes. See Stack Overflow Errors Explained (Javascript) for more. This update addresses these crash reports and also sets the timeline on the Node version migration as announced to merchants on the 8th of April.

Additions

• Database backups will now automatically delete from the backups folder after 30 days - Database Backups.

• Store payment records now store the subtotal, discount, fee, processor fee, and total in their own columns - no longer requiring the JSON to be extracted. This can be used in reports

• A detailed setup file is now generated when FaxStore is setup for the first time, the log details every action performed during setup It's located at ./files/startup.faxes

• Backend has been made for the use of future beta updates

• Added Download & Purchase Tracking logs to Reports

Fixes

• The below files are now repackaged in this release as they were missing in 3.2.5 - #93

  • package.json

  • package-lock.json (added)

  • src folder

• Fixed a MySQL error on the /store page which contributed highly towards StackOverflow errors - Stack Overflow Errors Explained (Javascript) - #98

• Disabled user accounts can no longer complete checkouts - #90

Changes

• The error handler backend was updated to ensure error-reports retain their readable formatting when updated - #100

Removals

• Old database updater queries were removed for no longer used FaxStore versions

Investigations

• Looked into a PayPal error (UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY) which had populated on some stores during checkout. So far it appears to be from incorrect currency values being passed through FaxStore. We'll continue to monitor for this error.

• Investigated Stack Overflow errors for updating Discord integration settings. However, did not find consistent replication, a recompile of the Sharf file may assist.

FaxStore 3.3.0 Release PSA

As published alongside the recent 3.2.0 - Store Sorting & Q2 2026 Maintenance changelog for FaxStore, it was mentioned that soon FaxStore will automatically update to the latest node version.
