Solidus v4.7 (2026-04-16)

Minimal requirements:

Ruby
v3.2
Rails
v7.2

We're excited to announce the release of Solidus v4.7.0! This release brings a new in-memory order updater for improved performance, continued promotions enhancements, and Rails 8.1 support.

🚀 Key Highlights​

In-Memory Order Updater​

Solidus now has an alternative order updater implementation optimized for reducing database interactions. The team at SuperGood has worked on getting this change ready for production use.

  • Increased performance for order updates — By default, the new order updater makes fewer write calls to the database. This means that order- and checkout-related controller actions can resolve faster, with fewer round trips to the database server.
  • Order update simulation — By passing persist: false to the in-memory order updater, an order can be recalculated and rolled back to its last state without any database writes. This enables stores to let administrators and customers preview changes to orders before accepting those changes.

To use this you need to opt-in by updating the order_recalculator_class in your app configuration.

We would love to hear if you enable this on your store and have feedback on the implementation!

Solidus Promotions​

Martin Meyerhoff continues to improve the solidus_promotions implementation with a number of enhancements and refactors:

Configurable Stock Quantifier​

The stock quantifier is now configurable, allowing stores to customize how available stock is calculated for variants.

Configurable Order Mergeable Scope​

The scope used to determine which orders can be merged is now configurable, giving stores more control over order merging behavior during sign-in.

Configurable State Change Tracker​

The state change tracker is now a configurable class, making it possible to customize or replace how order state changes are tracked.

Recalculate Cart Prices​

A new recalculate_cart_prices option allows stores to update line item prices when an order is recalculated, useful for handling price changes while a cart is still open.
