# December 2025 Enhancements

4th December 2025, **Clear “EFT Pending” Status in Backoffice Orders**

When a customer chooses EFT as a payment method, the order will now show as **“EFT Pending”** under the payment method in the backoffice order list. Once the EFT payment is received and allocated, the payment method will update to the final paid status.

4th December 2025, **Easier Menu Closing on Mobile**

On mobile, customers can now simply tap outside the open menu to close it. The menu behaviour has been updated so users don’t have to find and tap a specific close button.

4th December 2025, **Major Performance Improvements to Data Transfer Framework (DTF)**

he DTF has been reworked to perform much better when importing large volumes of data (products, prices, etc.). Improvements include proper batching, faster lookups, better bulk processing, refined entity tracking, enhanced delta processing, and improved sitemap handling.

4th December 2025, **Order Reference Now Visible in Backoffice**

The **order reference** is now displayed directly on the order screen and in the orders list in the backoffice. A new column and fields have been added so your team can see and search for order references more easily.

11th December 2025, **More Reliable Price Sync from Aggregators**

Products can be manually ordered using a **display order weight** so you can decide which items appear first in a list or category. Because the custom display order tool is not yet integrated with Solr, the team has added a **temporary function** that still orders products by this display order weight when the default sorting is used.

11th December 2025, **More Accurate Product Ordering by Display Weight**

Products can be manually ordered using a **display order weight** so you can decide which items appear first in a list or category. Because the custom display order tool is not yet integrated with Solr, the team has added a **temporary function** that still orders products by this display order weight when the default sorting is used.

11th December 2025, **Automatic Product Re‑Indexing to Keep Search & Data in Sync**

Previously, the search index (Solr) could fall out of sync with the main product data when:

* Products were not indexed, or
* Automatic indexing and product syncs did not line up correctly.

This could cause products to show outdated information or not appear correctly in search and listings.\
The system has been enhanced to:

* **Automatically index products** whenever they are created or updated.
* **Clear the relevant caches** when product changes occur.
* Update the **Data Transfer Framework (DTF)** so that any product updates done through DTF are also indexed.
