The new version of the Store Launchpad for B2B Manufacturing contains new features, enhanced functionality, and a bug fix.

New features

• The Store Launchpad for B2B Manufacturing now accepts payments using the Checkout Payment Only mode, which lets you take advantage of Checkout's secure and seamless payment capabilities without having to adjust other elements of your existing checkout experience, such as address forms or success and failure pages.

Enhancements

• The new version of the Store Launchpad for B2B Manufacturing supports Next.js version 14.2.9, Node.js version 18.17, React version 18.3.1, Yarn version 4.4.1, and TypeScript version 5.5.4. Yarn version 1 is no longer supported and you must update Node.js to version 18.x. Previous versions of Next.js, React, and TypeScript, and versions of Yarn other than version 1 are still supported but not recommended.
• Categories are now visible in the navigation only if the user has the correct permissions and the category is not empty.
• Data for the available countries for addresses and shipping destinations is now retrieved from the country data in the Merchant Center. Previously, the country data for the B2B launchpad was hard coded.
• On the Approval Flows page, you can now approve flows that have been triggered by Orders where multiple Approval Rules applied. Additionally, the UI has been improved by merging the Rules and Tiers, making requests clearer to view.

Bug fixes

• In the Studio, Frontend components now render correctly and no longer cause preview errors.
