Elastic Path Changelog

MINOR Yotpo Integration: Fixed a bug to ensure base product IDs replace child product IDs in order items, preventing 404 errors.

MINOR We have introduced inclusions support in the Promotions Builder, enabling users to fine-tune the targeting of eligible and discounted items. For example, you can target items from specific categories or with specific attributes for both eligibility and discounts. Read more on Creating promotions with inclusions.

For Commerce Manager, see Adding Inclusions

MINOR We have introduced Flows support for Promotions Builder that allows users to create custom fields for promotions. For example, you can create custom fields to display custom promotion terms and conditions messaging in the storefront.

For API, see The Promotions Builder Custom Fields API.

For Commerce Manager, see Editing custom fields in a promotion builder

MAJOR We have introduced the ability to "deep link" in Commerce Manager

We have improved the way we handle organization and store switching. We now have the organization and/or store id stored the url, so you can easily share the url with others and they will be taken to the same organization and store you were in when you copied the url.

You can now have multiple tabs/windows open in your browser and switch between organizations and stores without having to worry about losing your state.

This does mean any bookmarks you have for say https://euwest.cm.elasticpath.com/products will no longer work as expected because it doesn't have the store/organization id in the url. You should instead be redirected to the store selection page and once you select the store you will be taken to the correct page.

MINOR We have introduced the ability to select SKU-less product bundles in the promotion builder's product selector. For more information, see Creating a Cart Items Condition in Commerce Manager.

MAJOR We have introduced a new feature allowing the creation of shipping discount for cart shipping groups. For more information, see Create a Shipping Discount API, and Creating a Shipping Promotion in Commerce Manager.

INTEGRATIONS HUB Released Klevu Integration V8 (US) - V7 (EU): This new version fixes missing product attributes.

MINOR We have introduced a mechanism that will allow you to influence the layout of Custom Fields within a Custom API in a User Interface. It does not order or affect the JSON response, and has no semantics on the backend. For more information, see Creating Custom Fields.

MAJOR We have introduced a new feature allowing the creation of promotion codes specifically for first time shoppers, who have not yet completed a purchase with the store. Within Commerce Manager, you can now create a single code and select the option to apply it exclusively for first time shoppers. For more information, see Creating a Single Code.

For details on creating a first time shopper promotion code via the API, see Create First time Shopper's Coupon Code.

MINOR Commerce Manager: We have added a new feature allowing you to duplicate an existing promotion in Promotions Builder. For more information, see Duplicating a Promotion.
