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

MAJOR Semantic Search Service

• Neural Query Understanding: Integrated NLP-based entity and intent recognition to extract product attributes, use cases, and category signals from user queries.
• Dynamic Faceted Filtering: User-configurable facets with real-time filtering across vectorized results.
• Synonym Expansion Engine: Per-tenant synonym sets influence both keyword and vector searches for better semantic matching.

MINOR In Product Experience Manager (PXM), merchandisers can now gain greater control over Dynamic Bundles by configuring minimum and maximum purchase quantities for product options; for example, this makes it easier to design flexible curation boxes where customers can select their desired amounts of each included item.

See Dynamic Bundles.

MAJOR 🚀 A Revamped Hierarchies & Nodes Experience.

We've completely redesigned the Hierarchies & Nodes experience in Commerce Manager, making it easier and more efficient to organize, group, and manage your products into hierarchies.

What's new?

• Powerful search – Quickly find nodes without manually browsing the hierarchy.
• New table view – A familiar file-system-like structure for easier node management.
• Hierarchy indicators – Instantly see if a node has children while browsing.
• Two-pane layout – Browse the hierarchy and edit nodes side by side.
• Deep links to product list page – Jump directly to product lists for maximum efficiency.
• Custom attributes – Store additional metadata for hierarchies, nodes, and pricing.
• View preferences – Customize how you interact with the hierarchy.
• Fresh visual design – A modern, streamlined interface for better usability.

🔎 Explore the new experience now in the "Hierarchies" section under "Merchandise" in Commerce Manager.

MINOR Improved List Pages. We've enhanced the table functionality on our list pages with the following:

• Select which headers show on the table with customizable headers
• View up to 100 items on the page
• Hover over dates to see the date and time details for your location's time zone as well as UTC time zone
• Dynamic search that shows all results with related terms
• Select filters and bookmark the page to return and view the page with selected filters again.

We are making similar changes on list pages across Commerce Manager in the upcoming days.

MINOR In Product Experience Manager (PXM), we have introduced an endpoint to list all nodes across all hierarchies.

See Get all nodes.

MINOR In Product Experience Manager (PXM), we have introduced breadcrumbs to hierarchies and nodes. Breadcrumbs display an ordered list of parent node IDs, slugs, and names (including locales).

MINOR In Product Experience Manager (PXM), we have introduced an endpoint to manage relationships between hierarchies and root nodes. This endpoint can be used to set sort order values for root nodes.

See Create relationships between a hierarchy and child nodes.

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

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.

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.
