Add Delivery Notes and Alternative number on Checkout - Delivery notes, alternative contact numbers and business details entered at checkout are now saved to the order and displayed on the order's customer card in the back office.
Add a stock check on Wishlist so OOS products cant be added to cart from Wishlist - Added a Notify Me button for out-of-stock wishlist items, replacing the Add to Cart button, on both the account and shared wishlist pages.
Tiered Pricing - Added a tiered pricing display option as an alternative to bulk pricing, along with a Bulk Discounts data transfer function to manage per-product discounts and markups.
Organizational Schema - Added configurable Organization structured data for stores, pre-filled from existing store details and editable under store settings, to improve SEO.
Breadcrumb Structured data V2 - Added breadcrumb navigation and structured data to brand pages, the blog listing page and individual blog posts, improving SEO for those pages.
Related Product DTF - Added the ability to bulk import and export related products using the Data Transfer Framework, instead of setting them one product at a time.
Product List API - The admin Product List API now returns richer product data in a single call, with opt-in flags to keep default responses lightweight.
Enhancements
Detail page load speed - Improved product detail page load speed by batching and caching backend data lookups per product instead of fetching the entire catalogue on every request.
Cache Key Handling - A broad rework of the caching system to fix broken cache logic, close cache-invalidation gaps, reduce memory use and improve reliability across multiple servers.
Cache/tenant isolation - Fixed cross-environment data leakage by isolating cache, session and authentication data per environment.
Auth/session self-healing - Improved sign-in reliability: users are now automatically switched to a valid subscription instead of being logged out, and rate-limit errors are handled more gracefully.
Change how Free Shipping is handle with 3rd Party shipping apps - Fixed duplicate Free Shipping options at checkout and ensured third-party apps can offer their own discounted shipping rates. Also added configurable ordering of shipping methods.
Add Inventory to Bundles as a Setting when Creating and Editing a Bundle - Bundle products now calculate available stock from the minimum available quantity across all component items, instead of ignoring out-of-stock components.
Variant Dimensions - Fixed an issue where variant dimensions could not be edited; variants now default to the master product's dimensions when not explicitly set.
Storing Vehicle to parts on orders (Core) - Custom data sent with an add-to-cart request, such as filter selections or configurator choices, is now saved against the order line instead of being discarded.
Category SEO Descriptions - Fixed an issue where SEO descriptions entered for brand and category pages were not being used on the storefront.
Title pattern with a suffix - Fixed an issue where page titles using a suffix pattern could produce thin or duplicated SEO titles.
Category Permalinks - Fixed an issue where linked-product permalinks only checked the parent category; sub-categories are now checked too.
Logo Alt Text - Store logos now include descriptive alt text using the store name, improving accessibility and SEO.
X logo on product page needs Alt text - The X social share icon now includes alt text.
Need to add store to customer/company when creating them in the backoffice - When creating a new account in the back office, you are now asked which store to assign it to, instead of the store going unset.
Clear Cache Button Returns - Added a button letting back office administrators clear the cache on demand.
Improved Logout - Logging out now clears all user-related cache and ends any active sessions and cookies.
Switch Error Message - Failing to switch to a subscription now displays a more detailed error message.
Auth0 Cache - Added caching to credential checks to help prevent accounts being locked out by brute-force protections.
E2E Improvements - Expanded automated testing to cover the full storefront shopping journey for both registered and guest customers, and added back office test coverage.
