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

MAJOR Boost Average Order Value with Bundle Promotions in Promotions Builder

We’ve launched a powerful new capability in Promotions Builder: Bundle promotions. This empowers merchandisers to create compelling promotions that target groups of items to drive higher order values and increased conversions.

What's New?

For more information, see Multi-location Inventory API

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.

MINOR We have expanded promotions search to include search by promotion name for Promotions Builder. You can search for promotions with the Promotion Name or Coupon Code.

For Commerce Manager, see Searching for Promotions

For API, see Promotions Filtering

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.

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.
