These release notes contain a brief list of features and changes associated with the Checkout Manager General release as well as resolved known issues.
With this release, Checkout Manager is now out of the beta period and available for general release. Thanks to all merchants that helped test Checkout Manager and reported issues. The focus for our developers has been on fixing the major known issues in order to get Checkout Manager out of beta testing. You can consult our list of resolved issues to see specific issues that have been addressed with this release.
During this phase of the Checkout Manager release, Checkout Manager is the default for all signups on or after 04/12/2006. Merchants that signed up prior to this date can continue to test and enable Checkout Manager pages. All merchants will need to use Checkout Manager in the future, but a date to remove the older checkout flows has not been set. Yahoo! recommends merchants thoroughly test their custom checkout pages, and enable after reviewing the known issues.
