Introduced 'ManuallySuspended' health status for Subscriptions

26 March 2024
Enhancement
Messages/SubscriptionsGraphQL

A new ManuallySuspended health status has been introduced for Subscriptions.

This status solves an issue where, after fixing a problem that caused the health status to keep switching between Healthy to ConfigurationErrorDeliveryStopped, you needed to delete and recreate a Subscription.

Introduced Product Search in beta

26 March 2024
Feature
Product catalogSearchProject configuration

With the new Product Search API, you can create performant storefront search experiences for your products across Stores, Product Selections, and Standalone Prices to enhance product discoverability.

The API includes enhanced query capabilities, including compound expressions, such as AND, OR, NOT, and filter. This functionality enables you to, for instance, filter out specific products from search results or display products based on color criteria, including those with or without a color attribute.

For different types of attributes, prefix search is provided to support partial matches on Products with similar Product keys, for instance.

You can now perform full-text searches on a specific field only, instead of searching through all indexed product data. You didn't have this option before with the Product Projection Search API.

Order Edits differ from direct updates to Orders. You can use Order Edits to make financial changes to the purchase agreement after Order placement. For example, if you need to modify the quantity of a Line Item, thereby affecting the Order total.

Fixed tax subrate calculation for Line Items and Custom Line Items

7 March 2024
Resolved Issue
CartsOrders

We fixed the calculation and rounding of tax subrates on (Custom) Line Items to provide a more consistent experience.

Previously, individual (Custom) Line Item taxes were calculated once based on the sum of the combined subrates. If the calculation of a subrate resulted in a fractional tax amount, it could cause discrepancies between the total price of the (Custom) Line Item(s) and the total price of the Cart.

Now, each tax subrate is calculated and rounded separately. This change ensures that the sum of the tax portions is identical to the (Custom) Line Item's total tax amount. As a result, the total price of all (Custom) Line Items will now match the total price of the Cart.

Added 'taxPortions' field to TaxedItemPrice

7 March 2024
Enhancement
CartsOrdersGraphQL

We've added the taxPortions field to TaxedItemPrice to be consistent and align with the tax information available on TaxedPrice. Now, you can use the taxPortions field to view the individual tax subrate amounts for (Custom) Line Items and shipping-related information on a Cart.

Changes:

  • [API] Added taxPortions to TaxedItemPrice.
  • [GraphQL API] Changed the TaxedItemPrice type:
    • Added the taxPortions field to the TaxedItemPrice type.

Introduced Store-specific Cart Discounts in beta

5 July 2023
Enhancement
Pricing and DiscountsProject configurationSecurity and privacy

With the introduction of Store-specific Cart Discounts in public beta, you can now define Cart Discounts that are applicable to specific Stores. Previously, you could only define Cart Discounts that are active across all the Stores in your Project.

You can restrict the permissions of API Clients to view and manage Cart Discounts in a specific Store only. Previously, such permissions could only be managed globally for all Cart Discounts in a Project at the same time. However, the permissions set are not exclusive in the following instances:

  • Cart Discounts requiring a Discount Code can be linked to a Discount Code created by any user.
  • When using Custom Fields, if any Custom Field references Cart Discounts, all Cart Discounts will be visible.

With this enhancement, the limit for Cart Discounts that do not require a Discount Code has been increased. In addition to the 100 active Cart Discounts that are independent of a Store, you can now have 100 Cart Discounts per Store. Thus, the overall limit is 100 + (100 * number of Stores in a Project).

Enhanced permissions management for companies

2 May 2023
Feature
B2BCustomersCartsOrdersQuotesDeprecationGraphQL

The new Associate Roles API provides B2B customers with the flexibility to define and manage the permissions of their Associates.

Added support for expanded Channel and Customer Group to GraphQL query for StandalonePrice

1 December 2022
Enhancement
GraphQLPricing and Discounts

We understood there is a demand to retrieve the full information about the Channel and the Customer Group on Standalone Prices instead of just the reference to those via the GraphQL API. Before, additional API calls were needed to retrieve the respective information, from now on just one query is sufficient for this use case.

Changes:

  • [GraphQL API] Changed the StandalonePrice type:
    • Added the channel field to the StandalonePrice type.
    • Added the customerGroup field to the StandalonePrice type.

Correction to the `ChangeQuoteState` type in the GraphQL API

7 November 2022
Resolved Issue
GraphQLQuotes

We made a correction to the ChangeQuoteState type in the GraphQL API. The type of the input field quoteState was incorrectly marked as MyQuoteState instead of QuoteState. This caused certain QuoteStates, for example, the Withdrawn state, to be unavailable through the GraphQL API. With this correction in place, the ChangeQuoteState type now supports all QuoteStates in GraphQL.

Changes:

  • [GraphQL API] Changed the ChangeQuoteState type:
    • ChangeQuoteState.quoteState input field type changed from MyQuoteState! to QuoteState!

Added functionality to automatically transition states for Quote Requests, Staged Quotes, and Quotes

24 October 2022
Enhancement
QuotesOrdersGraphQL

You can now enable automatic state transitions between various pre-defined states for Quote Requests, Staged Quotes, and Quotes. In particular:

  • When creating a Staged Quote you can transition the referenced Quote Request to the Accepted state using the quoteRequestStateToAccepted field on StagedQuoteDraft.
  • When creating a Quote you can transition the referenced Staged Quote to the Sent state using the stagedQuoteStateToSent field on QuoteDraft.
  • When creating an Order you can transition the referenced Quote to the Accepted state using the quoteStateToAccepted field on OrderFromQuoteDraft. The same functionality is available on the My Order endpoint using MyOrderFromQuoteDraft.

This simplifies the management of Quote states by eliminating the need for an additional API call to transition the state.

Support for IAM-based authentication in the Subscriptions API

21 October 2022
Enhancement
GraphQLMessages/SubscriptionsExtensibility

We have added support for IAM-based authentication for SNS and SQS Destinations. The new field authenticationMode is available on SQSDestination and SNSDestination and defines the mode of authentication. IAM-based authentication allows the Subscriptions API to send messages to a queue or publish to a topic, without explicitly providing credentials in the form of an accessKey and accessSecret. This simplifies key management for customers who maintain hundreds of queues and rotate credentials regularly. By providing permissions to an IAM user instead, the access needs to be set up once per topic and requires no additional key management. For backwards compatibility, the authenticationMode field is set to Credentials by default.

Changes:

  • [API] Added fields authenticationMode to SQSDestination and SNSDestination.
  • [API] Added AwsAuthenticationMode.
  • [GraphQL API] Added the following types to the GraphQL schema: AwsAuthenticationMode.
  • [GraphQL API] Changed the SQSDestinationInput type:
    • SQSDestinationInput.accessSecret input field type changed from String! to String
    • SQSDestinationInput.accessKey input field type changed from String! to String
    • Input field authenticationMode was added to SQSDestinationInput type

    • SNSDestinationInput.accessKey input field type changed from String! to String
    • Input field authenticationMode was added to SNSDestinationInput type
  • [GraphQL API] Changed the SQSDestination type:
    • SQSDestination.accessSecret field type changed from String! to String
    • Added the authenticationMode field to the SQSDestination type.
    • SQSDestination.accessKey field type changed from String! to String
  • [GraphQL API] Changed the SNSDestination type:
    • SNSDestination.accessSecret field type changed from String! to String
    • SNSDestination.accessKey field type changed from String! to String
    • Added the authenticationMode field to the SNSDestination type.

A newly introduced shippingMode on Cart and Order controls whether Carts and Orders can have single or multiple Shipping Methods. The default ShippingMode is Single for backwards compatibility. For Carts and Orders with multiple Shipping Methods, all shipping-related information (such as address, rate, deliveries) are wrapped in a newly introduced Shipping object per Shipping Method. The Shipping object can also be extended with Custom Fields.

Additionally, you can add deliveries to Carts during Cart creation, which was previously only possible on Orders.

Introduced Standalone Prices in Beta

9 May 2022
Feature
Pricing and DiscountsCartsProduct catalogGraphQL

The Standalone Prices feature provides an alternative way to store your product prices as standalone resources. In comparison to prices embedded inside the Product, this new approach allows increasing the limit of prices per ProductVariant from 100 to 50.000. It also brings a more flexible way to query and manage your prices, separately from your Products, which contributes to better query performance.

The feature allows you to manage and query Standalone Prices through the Standalone Prices API, and to associate them to a ProductVariant via SKU. Additionally, a new priceMode has been introduced on the Product that controls whether the Prices of the ProductVariants are embedded into the Product resource or stored separately as Standalone Prices.

Please note that currently it is not possible to use filters, facets, and sorting on Standalone Prices via the Product Projection Search endpoint.

Read more on Standalone Prices and how to use them in the API reference.

Introduced Product Selections in Beta

25 January 2022
Feature
Product catalogProject configurationMessages/SubscriptionsGraphQL

Product Selections let you model the availability of your products in different sales channels. Depending on your use case and by leveraging the existing Stores functionality you can create individual catalogs or assortments for your brand sites, regional shops or brick-and-mortar stores.

Currently, the feature allows you to create Product Selections, populate them with Products, add them to any of your Stores and activate them independently for each Store. We also introduced a new endpoint that returns a Product Projection available in a given Store's active Product Selections.

Please note that the focus of this first release lies in scenarios where assortment management happens in a commercetools-external product information management (PIM) system and a commercetools-external search provider is used for product discovery in the shop frontend. As a consequence, you currently can’t filter your search results by Product Selections or Stores in both, Product Projections and the Merchant Center Product list. We plan to close these gaps progressively and add more functionality to Product Selections during the public beta phase.

Read more on Product Selections and how to use them in the API reference.

Read more on how to integrate with an external search service providing product discovery for your Store-specific shop frontends in this guide.

Smaller product payloads projected on locales

12 March 2020
Enhancement
CartsProduct catalogSearchProject configuration

When querying Product Projections the response payload contains all existing translations of localized fields. To remove unneeded translations and reduce the payload you can now use one of two new query parameters: storeProjection and localeProjection. In both cases the returned projections only contain values in the specified locales.

When using Stores, you can add languages to a given store and use storeProjection to fetch the list of locales automatically from that store. Another benefit of this approach is that line items of carts bound to the store are projected accordingly.

If you don't use stores you can use localeProjection to specify the needed locales directly in the query.

commercetools Composable Commerce on AWS, new API host names

3 February 2020
Announcement
Security and privacy

commercetools Composable Commerce is now available on AWS in addition to the existing Regions which are operated on the Google Cloud Platform. All self sign-up accounts continue to be created in Google Cloud Regions.

To increase region and cloud provider transparency, a new host naming scheme has been introduced for the API. Existing API host names will continue to be available as aliases for backwards compatibility.

Merchant Center and ImpEx will receive new host URLs later in a separate step. Merchant Center users will then automatically be forwarded to the new URLs.

Although the deprecated hostnames like api.sphere.io (Google Cloud, Belgium), api.commercetools.com (Google Cloud, Belgium) and api.commercetools.co (Google Cloud, Iowa) and their respective counterparts for the auth hosts remain intact as aliases, we strongly encourage changing your configuration to the new host name structure.

Further Changes:

Updates to the GraphQL references

17 January 2020
Enhancement
CartsGraphQLPricing and Discounts

We have made some changes on the GraphQL API that affect referenced resources in product prices, discounts, discount codes, inventory entries and shipping infos.
The reference fields on those resources now support querying for the data stored in referenced objects, similar to Reference Expansion on the HTTP API. The plain reference can now be queried with the corresponding <fieldName>Ref field that has been introduced on the mentioned resources. If you, for example for performance reasons, want to continue using the plain references, you should amend your queries to use the corresponding <fieldName>Ref field instead of the <fieldName> field.
For backward compatibility reasons, the typeId field is still available on the <fieldName> queries, but it is now deprecated. It will be removed from the API after April 2020.

Subscriptions support CloudEvents version 1.0

23 December 2019
Enhancement
Messages/Subscriptions

We've released support for CloudEvents version 1.0. CloudEvents is a specification for describing event data in a common way. CloudEvents seeks to ease event declaration and delivery across services, platforms, and beyond. It is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.

As of now, the version 0.1 is deprecated and will not be supported after March 2020. Please update or replace your existing CloudEvent Subscriptions. The documentation around 0.1 has been removed.

The 1.0 version of the spec has had several major changes, including renaming and lowercasing of all attributes, as well as the introduction of the subject field. We have removed all of the proprietary extensions and support two documented extension attributes: dataref and sequence/sequencetype. The data field payload is now one of the known payloads (that means either a Message Payload, a ResourceCreated Payload, a ResourceUpdated Payload, or a ResourceDeleted Payload).

GraphQL new custom fields

20 August 2019
Enhancement
ExtensibilityDeprecationGraphQL

The customFields field on GraphQL queries is deprecated in favor of the new custom field. customFields is still available for use in queries, but we strongly encourage all users to switch to using custom in GraphQL queries. For more information about this change, see Beta Features.

We are deprecating the existing customFields graphQL field present on all fields having custom fields for a better alternative.

In the new approach, all fields having custom fields have the new custom field exposes the following sub-fields:

type RawCustomField { name: String! value: Json! } type CustomFieldsType { typeRef: Reference! type: TypeDefinition "This field contains non-typed data. For a typed alternative, have a look at `customFields`." customFieldsRaw( includeNames: [String!], excludeNames: [String!]): [RawCustomField!] "This field contains typed data" customFields: Type! }

The customFields provides access to typed custom fields.

The new custom field improves the performance of the query as long as you don't use typed fields. For example:

fragment customFields on ProducePrice { custom { typeRef { id } rawCustomFields { name value } } }

If you use custom.customFields then you won't profit from the better performance.

Introducing Stores in Beta

17 April 2019
Enhancement
CartsGraphQLOrdersSecurity and privacyProject configuration

Stores let you model the context your customers shop in, for example physical retail locations, brand stores, or country-specific stores. Currently, a store holds carts and orders. During the Beta phase, we plan to let the store define what subset of resources within a project is available in the context of the store. For example, which products are sold at what price, and which currency or shipping methods can be used.

Additionally, a store can be used for permissions. With an OAuth scope like manage_orders:acme-inc:luxury-brand, an API client can only work with carts and orders inside the luxury-brand store, but not within the budget-brand store. See the GraphQL section for more details. Coming soon to the Merchant Center, a team can be given permission to only work with orders from one store.

  • [API] Added the new resource Store.
  • [API] Added the type KeyReference.
  • [API] Cart and Order have a new field store.
  • [API] When creating a Cart, the store can be referenced by its ID or key.

In the Project Settings, you can configure after how many days messages will be deleted from the Messages Query HTTP API. The default for new projects is 15 days.

Existing projects are not automatically migrated to the new feature. However, we encourage you to manually migrate to ensure a stable performance of the Messages Query HTTP API.

  • [API] The Messages Configuration has a new field deleteDaysAfterCreation.
  • [API] A new update action to change the messages configuration has been added. This supersedes the previous update action changeMessagesEnabled, which has been removed from the documentation (but can still be used for backwards compatibility reasons).

Messages and Change Subscriptions now have user-provided identifiers

14 September 2018
Enhancement
Messages/Subscriptions

User-provided identifiers are identifiers that are not set by the API (like the id field is), but provided by the API user (like the key or orderNumber fields). In particular the design goal of the key field is to allow client applications to only use the key field, and ignore the API-provided id field.

This release progresses towards the design goal by adding the key field among other user-provided identifiers into data structures commonly used in asynchronous processing by Subscriptions and the Messages Endpoint.

Change Subscriptions now support ten more resource types

13 September 2018
Enhancement
Messages/Subscriptions

The following ten resourceTypeIds are now supported by Change Subscriptions:

  • cart-discount
  • channel

  • product-discount
  • shopping-list
  • subscription
  • state
  • tax-category
  • type

Cart updates prices, taxes etc. on every update

12 September 2018
Enhancement
CartsPricing and Discounts

Before, the cart decided, based on the update actions, whether to update the product prices and tax rates. We've received feedback that this was unpredictable and confusing.

Therefore, the cart now updates the product prices and tax rates, along with discounts and the shipping info, on every update. No change to your code is necessary, but you may remove superfluous Recalculate update actions (if they don't update the product data).

  • [API] The Update Cart section now contains a description of the updates
  • [API] The description of the Recalculate update action has been changed to reflect the two remaining use cases for it

Added Order Edits

7 September 2018
Enhancement
Orders

You can now apply financial changes after an Order has been placed with OrderEdits. OrderEdits are wrappers that capture OrderUpdateActions which can create a preview of changes and apply them to the Order.

The OrderEdit tutorial shows some examples how edits can be performed.

This feature is in beta so we do not guarantee that the API is in its final shape.

HTTPS security changes

4 September 2018
Enhancement
DeprecationSecurity and privacy

We are updating the SSL setup to only support TLS 1.2 for all encrypted connections. Starting October 2018, we will drop support for older SSL/TLS versions. For exact details on the SSL/TLS setup that we will support refer to the Security section of the general HTTP API documentation.

For application testing, we offer temporary URLs that already support the new setup. These URLs are available now but only until end of September when the changes go into effect. The test URLs are:

DeprecationMessages/Subscriptions

Due to low adoption in the customer base, we have removed IronMQ from the Subscription documentation. We continue to support IronMQ for customers that are already using it.

Subscriptions indicate Health Status

8 August 2018
Enhancement
Messages/Subscriptions

Subscriptions now have a HealthStatus allowing you to monitor the health of a subscription with a tool of your choice. For production-critical queues, we recommend setting up an automatic alert.

With the new update action changeDestination, a ConfigurationError can be fixed (common causes are deleting the destination queue, deleting the access credentials, or removing the permission to push messages into the queue).

We have modified the handling of delivery failures caused by ConfigurationErrors:

  • A production project has up to 24 hours to fix the configuration
  • A development or staging project has up to an hour to fix the configuration

After that, we'll drop the messages, and will not attempt to deliver further messages. In this case, the subscription gets the status ConfigurationErrorDeliveryStopped. For more information, see the updated Delivery Guarantees.

The product discount limit was increased to 500

Subscriptions and Extensions hide access secrets

3 August 2018
Enhancement
ExtensibilityMessages/SubscriptionsSecurity and privacy

Both Subscriptions and API Extensions can contain access secrets, for example to allow commercetools Composable Commerce to place a message into a queue, or to invoke an AWS Lambda function. When retrieving an access secret via the commercetools Composable Commerce API, it is now hidden (except for the last 4 characters).

This change should help you to keep your access secrets secure. As noted in both Subscriptions and API Extensions, we recommend to create access credentials that only have the permission to put a message into the specific message queue, or only invoke the particular API Extension.

Order Update Action - setCustomerId

1 August 2018

Subscriptions support CloudEvents and Azure EventGrid (Preview)

12 July 2018
Enhancement
Messages/Subscriptions

CloudEvents is a specification for describing event data in a common way. CloudEvents seeks to ease event declaration and delivery across services, platforms, and beyond. It is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.

CloudEvents is a new effort and it's still under active development. The format is versioned, and we do not plan to offer long-term support for outdated versions yet. Therefore, CloudEvents is currently only offered in Preview, with the goal to give feedback to the CloudEvents working group.

Support for Azure Event Grid has been added, which offers support to filter and route CloudEvents. EventGrid can be used to push messages to Azure Functions, HTTP endpoints (webhooks), and several other Azure tools.

  • [API] Added Format to the Subscriptions API. The CloudEvents format can be used with all of the existing destinations.
  • [API] Added the Azure Event Grid Destination. It can only be used with CloudEvents.

Data Erasure of Personal Data

24 May 2018
Enhancement
Security and privacy

In some countries, especially the ones in the European Union, you are required by law (such as the GDPR) to erase personal data of a customer on request, also known as Right to be Forgotten.

A default DELETE request may not clean up all data, both visible at the HTTP API layer (for example personal data may be part of messages) and invisible (commercetools Composable Commerce internally keeps logs for some time, to reconstruct data in case of faulty system behavior).

Endpoints that store personal data therefore offer a parameter for DELETE requests called dataErasure. If set to true, commercetools Composable Commerce guarantees that all personal data related to the particular object, including invisible data, is erased, in compliance with the GDPR. You are, however, responsible for identifying and deleting all objects that belong to a customer, and deleting them.

The parameter is available for:

Personal data must not be stored in objects other than the ones listed above.

High precision prices

9 May 2018
Enhancement
Pricing and Discounts

For those businesses whose product prices require a higher precision than the currently offered cent amount, we have extended the pricing model to additionally support sub-cents for ProductVariant prices. To support this, a new money type HighPrecisionMoney was introduced. High precision money usage can be interchanged with regular money usage everywhere where BaseMoney is used.

  • [API] BaseMoney - base polymorphic type which supports cent and high precision at the same time.
  • [API] Money - added fractionDigits and type fields.
  • [API] HighPrecisionMoney - supports definition of sub-cent amounts.
  • Following types have been updated to support high precision prices while keeping everything compatible with cent precision Money:

Enhancement
Pricing and Discounts

The new matching ProductDiscount endpoint can be used to simulate which product discounts would be applied if a product variant had a specified price.

Orders API Extensions

23 March 2018
Enhancement

You can now extend the behavior of the Orders API with your business logic with the help of API Extensions. An API Extension gets called after the processing of a create or update request of an API call but before the order is persisted. The API Extension can validate the order or apply additional updates to it. It can, for example, validate that an order with the given configuration can be created, automatically add an order number, or change states.

To get started with API Extensions in general, please read the tutorial.

Product type attribute definition management

9 March 2018
Enhancement

Enhancement
CartsOrders

We now support creating a new cart by replicating an existing cart or order.

Simplified cart predicate language

2 March 2018
Enhancement
Carts

The cart predicate language has been simplified.

  • [API] A boolean value is now a valid predicate. For example if a cart discount should match all carts, the predicate true is now sufficient. Previously, one had to write 1 = 1 or true = true.
  • [API] A boolean function is now a valid predicate. For example lineItemExists(...) is now sufficient. Previously, one had to write lineItemExists(...) = true.

Customer and Payment API Extensions

2 March 2018
Enhancement
CustomersExtensibilityPayments

You can now extend the behavior of the Payment API and the Customer API with your business logic with the help of API Extensions. An API Extension gets called after the processing of a create or update request of an API call but before the result is persisted. The API Extension can validate the object or apply additional updates to it. It can, for example, validate that a payment in the given configuration can be processed, or trigger actions with the payment service provider (PSP). Or it can validate that a customer's account details don't look fraudulent, or set a customer group based on the email address.

To get started with API Extensions, you can read the tutorial.

Customer update messages

1 March 2018
Enhancement
CustomersMessages/Subscriptions

We have introduced new Messages for updates on the Customer resource. With the introduction of these messages, you can now get notified about changes to specific fields for the Customer. Previously, it was only possible to get the generic change messages with the ChangeSubscription on the Customer resource.

Furthermore, Customer Group has been added as supported resource for ChangeSubscription.

New field origin on cart and order

1 February 2018
Enhancement
CartsOrders

Until now it was assumed that carts and orders are created by customers themselves only, but to reflect the case of creating carts and orders by the merchants on behalf of customers also, we introduced a new field tracking the origin of a Cart and an Order.

DiscountCode can now be grouped

29 January 2018
Enhancement
OrdersPricing and Discounts

Discount codes now can be grouped together by assigning one or more groups to an individual discount code. Furthermore, the new Return StateRole can now be used to mark the state of those line items that belong to the return process of an order.

Release API Extensions Tutorial

25 January 2018
Enhancement
Extensibility

We published a tutorial about the API Extensions feature we recently released. The tutorial explains the usage of the feature based on two example use cases. In the first example an API Extension is developed that validates a maximum number of items that can be added to the cart. The extension developed in the second example will add a mandatory insurance to the cart if any item in the cart is worth $500 or more. Please check it out.
API Extensions can now return a localized description of the error. If available, the Merchant Center will use the correct localization to display the error.

Reference a category parents by its key

15 January 2018
Enhancement
Product catalog

When creating a category, the category's parent can now be set by its user-defined key instead of the ID, as it was before. This makes importing of category trees easier since identifiers for all parent categories are known beforehand.

Release API Extensions

10 January 2018
Enhancement
Extensibility

With API Extensions, you can extend the behavior of the cart API with your business logic. An API Extension gets called after the processing of a create or update request of an API call, but before the result is persisted. The API Extension can validate the object, or apply additional updates to it. Good use cases for API Extensions are: Validating the content of a cart (for example no more than 8 crates of beverages can be ordered at once), calculating custom shipping costs, or adding mandatory items, like insurance, to a cart.

The first part of the new documentation explains how to setup an extension, while the second part describes the input and the possible responses of the extension. The third part details the limits and error cases related to extensions.

Deliveries with address information

20 December 2017
Enhancement
Orders

Deliveries can now be given their own addresses. The delivery address is not to be confused with the shipping address. An order can only have one shipping address based on which the shipping rate is determined. With delivery addresses, however, it is possible to capture multiple fulfillment-related addresses, for example, a customer is stocking up on printing paper and has ordered 80 packages of printing paper; 20 packages are to be delivered to the main office building, 58 to the warehouse and 2 for their home office. This can be achieved by defining three deliveries for the order, each with its own address.

DiscountCode with validity period

19 December 2017
Enhancement
Pricing and Discounts

We have introduced validity ranges on Discount Codes for limiting the time range in which a code can be applied to a cart. Setting a validity can also help to manage campaigns which are promoted via discount codes, also considering that one code may contain several different cart discounts with varying validity dates.

"validFrom" and "validUntil" fields in a ProductDiscount

18 December 2017
Enhancement
Pricing and Discounts

We have introduced validity periods on Product Discounts to support discounting a (range of) products within a given time frame. Instead of activating product discounts manually, we now allow promotion planning in advance. Please consider that it can take some time to recalculate product discount values. Many discounts with the same validity values may take up to a few minutes to being live.

Update Deliveries

15 December 2017
Enhancement
Messages/SubscriptionsOrders

The deliveries of orders can now be amended after creating parcels or deliveries in cases data needs to be added or changed. Corresponding messages have been added, as well as messages for changing the state of the shipment and return shipment to which clients can now subscribe.

Add key to assets and Add an asset at a specific position

4 December 2017
Enhancement
Product catalog

Enhancement
Product catalog

Add Line Item by SKU in Shopping List

17 November 2017
Enhancement
Carts

A product variant to be added to a Shopping List and My Shopping List can now be selected by the variant's SKU. Before the variant had to be selected by product ID and variant ID only.

Update of shipping method predicate

16 November 2017
Enhancement
CartsOrders

The predicate can now be updated or removed on any existing ShippingMethod. Before it could only be set during creation of shipping methods.

Cart Tax Calculation Mode

15 November 2017
Enhancement
Pricing and Discounts

We have introduced the UnitPriceLevel TaxCalculationMode on carts to be able to calculate taxes per unit price and not only per line item as before. The opposite LineItemLevel mode is the default tax calculation mode on the cart so that this new feature does not break any existing application.

Improved customer Sign In

2 November 2017
Enhancement
Carts

The customer Sign In now always returns a recalculated cart, and allows to update the product data.

  • [API] Customer Sign In has a new parameter updateProductData to update name, variant and productType in the line item data.
  • [API] My Customer Profile Sign In has a new parameter updateProductData to update name, variant and productType in the line item data.

Keys in Cart and Product Discount predicates

27 October 2017
Enhancement
CartsPricing and DiscountsProduct catalog

We added the capability to use user-defined keys of categories, products, and customer groups in predicates for the specification of product and cart discounts. With this it is no longer required to use their IDs in the predicates.

Multi-Buy Discounts for Custom Line Items

26 October 2017
Enhancement
Pricing and Discounts

We extended the multi-buy discount feature of type "Buy 4 car tires, get 2 of them 50% off" to CustomLineItems.

Managing orders by order number

25 October 2017
Enhancement
Orders

Orders can now be fetched, updated, and deleted by providing the user-defined orderNumber instead of the id field of the order.

Parcel Items

24 October 2017
Enhancement
Orders

We now support tracking line items on a Parcel. With this new ability, you can define which line items of a Delivery goes into which parcel. Example: An order consists of fresh fruits and meat products. This will be one delivery, but it will have two parcels. One for the fresh fruits and one for the meat products.

  • [API] Added field items to Parcel.

Remove enum values from attribute definitions

19 October 2017
Enhancement
Product catalog

Enum values can now be removed from enum type and localized enum type attribute definitions of product types.
All attributes of all products using those enum keys will be removed in an eventually consistent way.

Improved Cart's recalculation update action

17 October 2017
Enhancement
Carts

We changed the behavior of the Cart's Recalculate update action.

  • [API] Instead of rejecting update requests to recalculate the cart when any of the line items became invalid (for example, because corresponding products don't exist anymore), the relevant items will now be dropped and the recalculation will be executed with only the remaining items.

Cart Discount Stacking Mode

7 October 2017
Enhancement
CartsPricing and Discounts

We now support CartDiscounts to prevent further application of matching CartDiscounts respecting their sortOrder. Therefore, a new field stackingMode has been added. The former behaviour of always applying all matching discounts is now encapsulated in the default value of stackingMode: Stacking.

Custom line items behavior improved

6 October 2017
Enhancement
Carts

The behavior of CustomLineItems has been improved to behave more similar to regular LineItems when signing in, and when adding a new item.

  • [API] When a customer signs in and the default anonymousCartSignInMode is used, custom line items are merged into the existing customer's cart.
  • [API] When a custom line item is added and an equivalent one already exists in the cart, the quantity is increased.

Payment API deprecating fields

29 September 2017
Enhancement
DeprecationPayments

As part of a Beta improvement initiative, the Payment API has been updated deprecating a series of fields.

  • [API] externalId in PaymentDraft, Payment as well as under Update Payment
    This field has been deprecated because the interfaceId can be used for the ID set by the payment service provider (PSP), and the newly introduced key field has taken over the role of externalID.
  • [API] amountAuthorized, amountPaid and amountRefunded in PaymentDraft, Payment as well as under Update Payment
    These fields have been deprecated because their value can be calculated from the total amounts saved in the Transactions.
    • Example 1: Two transactions, one with type:Charge, state:Success and amount:2$ and another one with type:Charge, state:Success and amount:3$. The amountPaid is 5$.
    • Example 2: Two transactions, one with type:Charge, state:Failure and amount:2$ and another one with type:Charge, state:Success and amount:3$. The amountPaid is 3$.
    • Example 3: Two transactions, one with type:Charge, state:Success and amount:3$ and another one with type:Refund, state:Success and amount:2$. The amountPaid is 3$. The amountRefunded is 2$.
  • [API] authorizedUntil in PaymentDraft, Payment as well as under Update Payment
    We learned the field is of little practical value, as it is either not reliably known, or the authorization time is fixed for a PSP.
  • [API] paymentId in PaymentStatusInterfaceCodeSet Message
    This field has been deprecated because the id in the resource field can be used instead.
  • [API] TransactionType previously had uppercase values like AUTHORIZATION, CHARGE etc. These are deprecated.

Furthermore, another TransactionState has been added.

  • [API] The Initial TransactionState has been added. It is used when the PSP has not accepted the transaction yet (including if the PSP has not been contacted yet). The existing Pending state is from now on used when the PSP has accepted the transaction, but it is not completed yet.
    In the future, we will change the default state value in the TransactionDraft to Initial. Do not depend on the default value! Please set the state field explicitly as soon as possible.

Custom Fields for Discount Codes

28 September 2017
Enhancement
ExtensibilityPricing and Discounts

We extended the DiscountCode model to support custom fields. This allows users to categorize discount codes any way they want and fetch them using the predicates on the discount codes endpoint.

Removed originalPrice field in LineItem Predicate

27 September 2017
Enhancement

ShippingMethod predicate

14 September 2017
Enhancement

  • [API] The field predicate was added to ShippingMethod.
  • [API] The field shippingMethodState was added to ShippingInfo.
  • [API] The order-related error code ShippingMethodDoesNotMatchCart was added.

Cancel limit for Cart Discount activated by Discount Code

11 September 2017
Enhancement
CartsPricing and Discounts

We now removed the limit of cart discounts that are triggered by discount codes. Those discounts were limited to 100 before together with the cart discounts for which no discount code is required.

  • [API] The limit of 100 active CartDiscounts now only applies to cart discounts that do not require a discount code.
  • [API] The number of cart discounts in a DiscountCode is limited to 10.
  • [API] The number of discount codes in a Cart is limited to 10.

External Tax Amount

8 September 2017
Enhancement
Pricing and Discounts

The new cart tax mode ExternalAmount allows to set the totalGross, taxRate and taxPortions fields on cart's content externally by the client. This is useful in case you prefer to have those values calculated by a third party service.

Changing mark Matching Variants default behavior

7 September 2017
Announcement

Breaking Change
For performance improvements, the "mark-matching-Variants" feature on the Product Projection search endpoint will be deactivated by default during the week of 11 September 2017. If your project does not require the "mark-matching-Variants" feature for product search, no further action is required from your side.

Publish product prices only, Products can be added to a cart by SKU

18 August 2017
Enhancement
Product catalog

It is now possible to publish only the prices of a product. This allows you to keep other product information you don't want to publish yet, like updates in the product description, in staged projection while the updated prices will be published already. Product variants to be added to a cart can now be specified by their SKU. Before, the only option was to specify them by their product ID plus variant ID.

29 June 2017

Added update action to change Input Hint on Attribute Definition

20 June 2017
Enhancement
Product catalog

The inputHint on AttributeDefinition provides a hint to developers how text-based attribute values should be visually represented in the frontend. The two supported values for this field: SingleLine or MultiLine had to be set in the AttributeDefinitionDraft during creation of the attribute definition so far, but it can now be changed afterwards by introducing a new update action changing the value of this field.
