Multi-location Inventories

MAJOR In Product Experience Manager (PXM), we have introduced a new feature to allow stock to be managed in multiple locations

Multi-location inventories allow more flexibility in managing stock which enables scenarios such as Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store. This change has changed the format of requests and responses to the inventories service and to avoid any breaking changes has not been applied to existing stores that use this service.

For more information, see Multi-location Inventory API

Custom Relationships, Hierarchy and Node Custom Attributes

MAJOR In Product Experience Manager (PXM), we have introduced Custom Relationships. Known as Product Relationships in Commerce Manager.

Custom Relationships enable merchandisers to link products in ways that strategically enhance the shopping experience. For example, you can establish connections between cross-sell items, suggest upsells, or create themed collections tailored to specific customer interests. Custom relationships can be configured as either bi-directional or uni-directional, offering flexibility in how products relate to each other. These relationships are easily managed through Commerce Manager and the PXM API.

See Custom Relationships.

MAJOR In Product Experience Manager (PXM), we have extended Custom Attributes support for Hierarchies and Nodes.

Custom attributes in (PXM) offer a powerful way to store additional metadata for hierarchies, nodes, and prices. These attributes, structured as key-value pairs, enhance flexibility by enabling businesses to tailor data for both internal operations and customer-facing catalogs.

See Custom Attributes.

Max times a shopper can apply the code, Bulk codes generation and export

MINOR We have introduced a new coupon code limitation to assign the maximum times a shopper can apply the code. This helps merchants limit the number of times a public coupon code can be used per shopper. For example, you can set a promotion to be used by first 100 shoppers (including or excluding guest shoppers) and each shopper can only use the promotion code once. Read more on Creating max uses per shopper promotion codes.

For Commerce Manager, see Adding Limitations

For API, see Create Max Uses Per Shopper Promotion Codes

MINOR We have introduced bulk codes generation, and export for Promotions Builder.

Read more on Managing Bulk Promotion Builder Codes.

For Commerce Manager, see Bulk generate promotion codes

Yotpo integration update

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

"Deep linking" in Commerce Manager

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.

Klevu integration update

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

Added First time shopper coupon code, Added duplicate promotion in Promotions Builder

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.
