Overview​

A small release of mostly bug fixes.

Banner Features​

Mobile editing updates

Two updates here! The first, when you hide a section on a specific viewport it will no longer show on that viewport. Secondly, we removed the desktop/mobile toggle from Size & spacing. To edit mobile padding or desktop padding, you'll now need to use the device toggle in the top of the editor.

Below is what this option used to look like. You'll no longer find this option in any toolbar.

Stripe integration deprecation

With Release 162 we removed subscription-based content gating, and with this deprecation of our Stripe integrations is complete. You'll no longer find the Stripe integration in Settings > Integrations.

Complete List of Resolved Items​

Mobile Editing & Preview​

• Tweak - Adjusted device-specific sections so they aren't visible in viewports other than the one that is defined.
• Tweak - Remove device selector from "Size & spacing" setting
• Bug - Fixed an issue where child header links would be cut off on mobile if there were a lot of them.
• Bug - Fixed an issue where scrollbars would appear in places where they weren't supposed to.

• Bug - Addressed an edge case where the toolbar of the first section could be inaccessible to users if their landing page had no header.

Minor Commerce Manager: When filtering your orders in Store > Orders, you can now see that the Exact toggle is always ON by default. For more information about filtering orders, see Filtering Orders.

Minor If you specified build_rules for a product, when using Get all products or Get a product endpoints, the variations attribute now lists the variation option IDs that you specified to include when building your child products. If no build_rules are specified, all the variation and variation options available for a product are displayed. If a product does not have any variations, then the variations attribute is not displayed. See Build Child Products Using Variations.

Minor Commerce Manager: We have made some improvements on how discounts are displayed on the Order details page. Additionally, a new Discounts field is now available on the Order details page to see the total discounts applied to the order. For more information, see Order details page in Elastic Path Commerce Cloud Commerce Manager.

Major When duplicating hierarchies using Duplicate a Hierarchy endpoint, you can now use the include_products attribute to specify whether you want products associated with the nodes in an existing hierarchy to be associated with the nodes in the duplicated hierarchy. This is useful because you do not have to re-associate all your products with the duplicated hierarchy. For more information, see Duplicate a Hierarchy.

Overview​

This release was a move back to our weekly release cadence and included a some UI improvements and bug fixes.

Banner Features​

Previously we didn't have an easy way for our users to easily get back to Shopify from Unstack. The addition of this button fixes this and provides an easy way for them to return to Shopify when they might need to.

Overview​

One of our larger releases. Lots of bug fixes and a handful of small tweaks.

Banner Features​

Mobile editing is now available!

Previously access to this tool was limited to a select group of users, but now anyone can use it to quickly preview or edit pages on mobile. We have more improvements in the works here, most notably the ability to customize images and settings on mobile, but this first version is a huge step towards making our platform a serious contender for eCommerce. According to Gartner, mobile accounts for 65% of all traffic on eCommerce sites.

Custom fonts are now supported natively!

Previously, uploading a custom font involved our team writing some CSS to apply the custom font to your text elements. However, now custom fonts that our team has uploaded for you can be used directly in the style guide.

Better "Add Section" button

The new Add Section button finally made it into this release. The updated design and tooltip will hopefully make it much easier for first-time users to understand how to add additional sections to pages.

Complete List of Resolved Items​

• Bug - Fixed an issue where a 500 error would be logged in the console when marking the onboarding popup modal as " do not show this again".
