Checkout Release Notes
Deprecated configuration fields and new messages
The sellerId
, applicationId
, and callbackUrl
configuration fields are now deprecated. You now need to use the projectKey
, applicationKey
, and returnUrl
fields respectively.
The new DeprecatedFields message will warn you if you use any of the deprecated fields.
Also, following the deprecation, the ProjectIsDeactivated message replaced the SellerIsDeactivated one, while a standard CORS error in the browser will replace the SellerNotFound message.
In addition, further new messages are available to receive feedback from more events.
Introduced invoice payment connector
With the invoice payment connector, you can now offer payment by invoice to your customers, thus automating the reception of their requests to pay by invoice.
To activate payment by invoice on your checkout page, configure the invoice payment connector and then set the payment method in your application.
Added the 'showTaxes' and 'currencyLocale' configuration properties
You can now display tax information from Composable Commerce in the price summary of your checkout page using the showTaxes
configuration property.
Additionally, you can now manage the currency format of prices using the currencyLocale
configuration property.
Introduced inline rendering of the commercetools Checkout UI component
You can now display the commercetools Checkout UI component inline with your content, such as a custom header or footer. This gives you flexibility in managing the appearance of your checkout experience. Previously, the Checkout UI component appeared full screen and hid the content on your page, which is also the default behavior.
For more information, see init and checkout methods.
Changed the formatting of dynamic parameters
When specifying dynamic parameters, you must now use single curly braces instead of double curly braces. For example, {PARAMETER_NAME}
instead of {{PARAMETER_NAME}}
.
The Text and labels documentation is updated and reflects this change.
Added toggle to activate or deactivate the discount codes field
You can now display or hide the field for entering discount codes on your checkout page. To do so, use the Activation of discount code function toggle in the Application settings section when creating or editing an application.
Subscribing to PayPal notifications is now supported
You can now subscribe to notifications for your PayPal payment connector. To provide notifications about the status of the payment process, PayPal uses webhooks to call back the commercetools Checkout application.
Introduced mock payment connector
By adding a mock payment connector, you can now run your checkout flow from start to finish for test purposes or proofs of concept, with few configuration steps and without connecting to a Payment Service Provider.
The mock payment connector is not available by default. To activate it for your Project, contact Support via the Support Portal.
