What's new in version 5.0.0:
Phoca Cart 5: Key New Features and Enhancements for E-Commerce
Phoca Cart 5 is a Joomla 5 extension and will not work properly on Joomla 4. Phoca extensions version 5 usually work on Joomla 4, but Phoca Cart is an exception because it uses the new modern features of Joomla 5, therefore it works on Joomla 5 only.
