By Matt / February 7th, 2024


We're excited to announce the release of WHMCS 8.9 Release Candidate.

This Release Candidate provides core refinements and fixes as we near the end of the pre-production cycle for 8.9.

WHMCS 8.9 headlines with 2 new PayPal integrations using the latest technologies from PayPal to offer a big step forward in the end user experience when checking out with PayPal, and solving many of the UX challenges that existed for businesses when using the previous PayPal Subscriptions experience.

  • PayPal Card Payments - Allowing you to accept all major credit and debit cards transparently and seamlessly with an on-website checkout experience, using your PayPal merchant processing account.
  • New Admin Level View Invoice Permission - A new admin user permission which can grant read-only access to view invoices without access to manage/edit.
