MINOR Enhanced Date Parsing with Locale Support in PXM Product Import

We've added locale-aware date parsing to Product Template Date fields in PXM Product Import, reducing import failures and improving data accuracy by interpreting dates using region-specific formats.

What's New?

• Commerce Manager automatically detects your browser's locale and applies it to product import requests.
• API supports locale query parameter for en-US, en-GB, and en-CA date formats.
• Unsupported date formats fall back to default parsing, ensuring your imports continue to work.

See Product Import

How to setup tiered promotion

MAJOR Improvements to Subscription Offerings.

We’ve made some changes to the way subscription offerings are represented to more closely align with customer requirements and to increase the flexibility of offerings.

What's Changed?

• Subscription products are now called plans
• What was previously called a plan is now a pricing option
• Before these changes if more than one product existed in an offering they were treated as a bundle. Now a subscriber must pick a single plan from the subscription offering, increasing flexibility and reducing the number of subscription offerings that need to be maintained.
• Pricing options are assigned to plans so that each plan may have its own pricing options or a subset of pricing options.

For details see: Subscription Offerings
