New Product Listing Page

This release not only introduces a fresh look and feel of the Product Listing Page but also brings enhanced functionalities to improve the user experience:

• Advanced filtering: Improved filters to help users easily find the products they are looking for by dynamically updating filters and displaying only relevant filter options.
• Intuitive category navigation: Navigate seamlessly between nested and root categories.
• Enhanced badges: Badges highlight features, novelty, or other product attributes. This includes the "New In" badge for newly added products, custom badges for specific attributes (e.g., sustainability), and the "Already in Basket" badge to help users avoid duplicate selections.

Moreover, the new page is built with a simple and easily customizable codebase, ensuring that it can be tailored to meet your specific needs.

To learn more about the main components, data fetching and filtering logic, and customization opportunities, please refer to our Storefront Guide.

Multiple paths per shop

We now have the ability to configure multiple URL paths for single shops (per shopId), where before could only handle one URL path per single shop.
As example, this allows the same shop to be reachable under multiple different paths like your-shop.com/en-gb/, your-shop.com/en-us/, your-shop.com/en-au/.

This reduces the need for excessive configurations, while simultaneously enhancing performance.

Dedicated NPM package for OpenTelemetry integration

A while back we introduced support for OpenTelemetry. OpenTelemetry is an open-source standard for instrumenting your applications, providing valuable insights into performance and behavior. It allows you to collect, process, and export telemetry data like metrics, logs, and traces to various backend platforms, enabling better monitoring and troubleshooting.

As part of our commitment to contributing more to the open-source community, we've published the previous integration as a dedicated NPM package, making it widely accessible and improving its capabilities.

Live Preview Support for Storyblok and Contentful

We have integrated proper live preview support for both Storyblok and Contentful. This changes means users can now edit CMS content elements within their respective CMS provider web interfaces and see the changes immediately in the context of the Storefront application.

Explicit Imports for Vue Components

To better align with the JavaScript and TypeScript developer ecosystem, Storefront Boilerplate is gradually moving away from relying on the Nuxt "auto import" feature. Starting with the upcoming v1.2 release, we will disable the imports.autoImport option in nuxt.config.ts.

As a first step, we have added explicit imports to all Vue components. Note that defineProps, defineEmits, and withDefaults are Vue compiler macros and do not need to be imported explicitly; doing so will trigger a compiler warning.

2.1.23

SCAYLE Panel

• We simplified the handling of the product name field on the new shop structure: until now, two fields for the product name were displayed on the Product Detail Page (PDP): one in the master section and the AG 553 (Produktname) in the product section of the PDP.
• From now on only AG 553 (Produktname) will be displayed in the product section of the PDP and can be maintained for both, the default-locale PDP and non-default-locale PDPs. The AG 553 will be always visible and editable on every PDP, regardless of whether or not it is assigned to a master category
• Due to this change we disabled the "Product Name" import on the new shop structure since it used to update the old product name and is now obsolete.
• Promotion Engine has been extended with a new type called Tiered Promotions. With this feature, discount levels are displayed to the customer when adding a product to the shopping cart, so that the customer can see how many products need to be added to receive a higher discount.

Admin API

• We implemented endpoints for the configuration of price rounding rules.
• We extended Get Customer and Get Customer Addresses endpoints with the nonUniqueAddresses filter which enables you to retrieve also non-unique customer addresses.

A new endpoint /v2/search/resolve will return best matching category for the provided search term.

See our Storefront API for information on using the new endpoint.

New Fields for "Buy X Get Y" Promotions

As part of our initiative to enhance the Promotion Engine, we added new fields to the "Buy X get Y" promotion template.

• You can now define the maximum amount of free items that will be passed as an int64 in the EligibleItemsQuantity field.
• Additionally, you can define how the maximum amount is calculated through the optional buy_x_get_y-max_count_type field by choosing the per_eligible_items_quantity or per_eligible_uniq_items string.
  • If per_eligible_uniq_items is sent, only unique items will be considered to calculate the maximum amount of free items.
  • per_eligible_items_quantity means that calculating the maximum amount of free items is based on the number of items in the basket that fit the condition.

New "Tiers" Promotion Type

As another enhancement for the Promotion Engine, promotion tiers are now supported. The tiers field is now exposed on the promotion object with its fields.

Added "forceSlug" Parameter to Improve Brands Endpoint

A new forceSlug parameter is added to enable users to retrieve data from brands with numeric brand names. You can now use /v1/brands/{slugOrId}?forceSlug=true to get brand information using the name instead of the ID.

• /v1/brands/33?forceSlug=true returns the brand with a slug 33.
• /v1/brands/33 returns the brand with the ID 33.

SCAYLE Panel

Minor performance enhancements.

Admin API

• We implemented new Create Promotions and Update Promotions endpoints for managing Promotions.
• We introduced endpoints without rate limits. Endpoints that do not belong to any rate limit scope do not have any rate limit defined (for example Create and Update Promotions endpoints).
• Voucher-related endpoints are now extended with a new property isApplicableToPromotions.
• We added a new filter isComposite to the GetProducts endpoint. When set to true, only Composite products are returned. When set to false, only Non-Composite products are returned.

Storefront API

Enhanced Displayment of Relative Promotions

As part of our initiative to enhance the Promotion Engine further, relative promotions in Storefront API are no longer displayed by a magnitude of 100. As an example, a 20% promotion previously was displayed as 2000. Storefront API promotions endpoint now displays relative promotions in a way that is easier to understand and read. Adapted API change:

• Response schema type is changed from integer to float.
• A relative promotion of 20.34% is now displayed as 20.34.

Products?filters[term] Search Endpoint now Supports Stemming

To improve our existing search implementation further, stemming is now implemented for the products?filters[term] endpoint for all supported languages. Stemming is a process that reduces words to their root form, allowing different words from the same word family to be matched and leading to better search results. As an example, user searching for "knit sweater" should receive the same response as a user searching for "knitted sweater", as "knitted" would be shortened to "knit".

Checkout

• Consolidated loading states between Authentication, Shipping and Payment.
• Updated Payback error messages and information text.
• Added carrier support for chronopost, bartolini, postnord, and seur.
• We enabled authentication through an external identity provider. Providers used in the initial release include Okta, Auth0, Salesforce, Google, and Facebook.
• Update Gitcard error messages when Gitcard is not found.
• Improved support of basket for tiered promotions.

2.1.21

SCAYLE Panel

Improvements The Product Detail Page can now handle Products that have a huge variety of variants. We worked on a solution to load the PDP in these cases properly and display even a huge amount of variants set up for a product

New Features

• Promotion Engine allows user to create customized discounts with setting conditions to decide wether the discount is valid and applied to basket or order items.
• The Feature Audiences provide a complete list of exististing Audiences and new Audiences can be created to be used in Promotion Engine as a condition.

Admin API

• We implemented support for the automatic on-the-fly creation of simple attributes when creating / updating advanced attributes that include simple attributes. From now on, you do not have to add simple attributes upfront, when they should be part of an advanced attribute.
• We improved error handling for requests containing unexpected locales.

Storefront Core

Official support for Vercel as a deployment option

A Storefront Boilerplate-based Storefront application can now also be deployed to Vercel Edge Runtime.

See more information in our Storefront Boilerplate documentation.

Support of cache compression for Storefront Boilerplate (Nuxt 3)

We now support the compression of cache data with the new "Unified Storefront Core Cache Handling". To enable cache compression, the new compression option can be used for storefront.storage.cache or storefront.storage.session. The compression option accepts the values deflate, gzip, brotli and none. After activating cache compression, it is recommended to completely empty the corresponding cache instance / database, e.g. Redis.

See more information in our Storefront Core documentation.

Storefront Core

Unified Storefront Core Cache Handling

We have unified the Storefront Core cache handling, changing how cache and session storage are managed within Storefront Core. Storefront Core will now use the storefront-cache mountpoint as the root for its cache storage, and storefront-session for sessions storage. The Storefront Core configuration now includes storefront.storage.cache and storefront.storage.session config options to automatically create these mountpoints. This addresses a critical memory leak, which could result in a new Redis connection being created per request and thus causing high memory usage on the Node server, as well as on the Redis server.

Readding CampaignKey for Nuxt 3

We have readded the campaignKey to be used within a Nuxt 3-based Storefront application.

Security Improvements

We removed the return of OAuth tokens from RPC methods and we now ensure that sessions are not shared between different country shops.

Technical Improvements

We improved the error handling for Storefront Core for errors that occur in a fetch call within an RPC method and we now prevent potential infinite loops should log writing fail.

Storefront API

Enhancement of Storefront API Promotions endpoint

In addition to already developed functionalities for Promotion Engine, Storefront API promotions endpoint now also exposes `priority' field in its response body.

• `priority' field is a value defined in the SCAYLE Panel, where you can create and manage promotions. It is defined as a priority of the promotion compared to others and it is mainly useful when there are multiple promotions that have been defined.

Checkout

• Included new promotion information in tracking events
• Added handling of our new minimum order value feature, including vouchers, notifications and campaign errors

• Missions can now be prioritized again
• Entering a search term in the corresponding bar of the product list overview will now be recognized as a filter that will be taken into account when mass updating products

Admin API

Fallback to the Default merchant for retro-compatibility reasons:

• We adjusted Products, Variant, Stocks and Prices endpoints in order to ensure the retro-compatibility in case an additional Merchant is added to the system. If no merchantReferenceKey is provided in the requests, SCAYLE Admin API will assume that the change is intended for the default merchant.

Storefront API

Improvements to our Promotion Engine Feature

We have made further improvements to our basket's Endpoints with regard to our Promotion Engine feature. These improvements will simplify the implementation of the Promotion Engine on the Basket page by showing the correct promotions & promotion prices/discounts to your users.

• Validation of Promotion IDs attached to any items in the basket.
• For each basket item that has a promotion we add its validation status and the failed conditions.
• Implementation of Price Calculations: Once the promotions are validated we modify the item prices for both unit and total to include the promotion reductions.

Once the basket item has a Promotion ID attached then promotion reduction will be applied automatically, if the conditions defined in the promotion are fulfilled.

• For our Insights Section on the PDP we added an additional validation for the selectable shops: only shops are selectable which have at least one country that the product is assigned to. Otherwise the dashboard would return no data.
• The KPI widget “New Customers” on the general dashboard does not include guest customers anymore but only newly registered customers for a chosen time frame
• The page under Settings > Imports has been given a new look: a new module with an overview of all imports opens with a click on "New Import". As already known, the imports are categorized by type. Imports can be favored and searched. The favorite imports are shown on the landing page of the new module if a new import is to be created
• We fixed a small error in the “Price and Inventory” table on the PDP that resulted in an incorrect “RRP” (recommended retail price) being displayed

Admin API

• Create Customer Address Endpoint: We extended the Create customer address endpoint with support for setting the referenceKey directly when creating a customer address. Now you do not need to send an additional request to update the referenceKey after creating the new address. Please note that updating the referenceKey for an existing customer address is still possible only using a dedicated Update customer address reference key endpoint.

These defaults will apply to every category in your shop and can be chosen from predefined system criteria and attribute groups configured in the panel. The chosen default filters will appear in the filter tab for shop categories.

You can also translate system criteria under "Shops > Translations > System Criteria." To view configured default filters, you need the "default-category_filter__list" permission.

To edit and configure them, you need the "default-category-filter__edit" permission. For viewing configured translations of system criteria, you need the "default-category-filter_translation__list" permission, and to set/change translations, you require the "default-category-filter_translation_edit" permission.
