Introducing Custom Apps for Our DashboardCommerce Layer

October 4, 2023

We’re proud to announce the release of Custom apps, which allow you to build your own Dashboard experience, either by forking and editing our existing open-source Dashboard applications (Customers, Exports, Imports, Orders, Shipments, Tags, Webhooks — more to come!) to create the ideal workflow for your team or building new apps that meet your team's need using our App Elements React component library.

Significant performance improvements in `v4.0.15`

October 2, 2023

We've implemented a new logic that intelligently determines when to refresh the order, resulting in a notable performance enhancement when opening the Checkout. This solution eliminates the need to wait for a synchronous call, which was previously causing delays for other essential requests in the Checkout loading. Another crucial step in our ongoing commitment to refining our suite of micro frontends.

Promotions engine enhancements 🚀

September 28, 2023

We’ve just released a huge upgrade to our promotions engine. The changes and new features are many and you can find all the details on the related sections of the documentation. Among them:

… and more!

With v4.5.0 we started supporting Apple Pay and Google Pay express checkout buttons together with all the payment methods enabled on your Stripe Dashboard. We also added new hooks (e.g. useCommerceLayer, useCustomerContainer) and improved existing ones (e.g. useOrderContainer) so that they can be used in addition to our components to get the best out of the package.

Micro frontends

July 26, 2023

Our JS Drop-in library now features two additional sets of web components:

The Identity MFEs let you manage user login status and link to the Commerce Layer-hosted Identity app.
The My account MFE renders a link to the Commerce Layer-hosted My account app which enables customers to manage their personal customer portal (orders, addresses, wallet, and more).

To learn more and see our micro frontends in action, explore the interactive documentation. For any additional details or potential breaking changes see the release notes.

Introducing our Identity application 🚀

Identity

New function that handles all the authorization flows in `v4.0.0` ⚠️

JS Auth

May 16, 2023

Be advised that we introduced a potential breaking change ⚠️ by removing the client-oauth2 dependency from our JS Auth wrapper. The whole library has been rewritten and the old getSalesChannelToken, getCustomerToken, getIntegrationToken, authorizeWebapp, and getWebappToken functions replaced by a single new authentication function. You can check the updated code samples in the repo README.

New rate limiting policy ⚠️

May 8, 2023

Added the option to use the order’s subtotal amount for promotions and shipping methods

May 2, 2023

The value specified as the free over amount for the cost of a shipping method.
The value specified as the amount above which a promotion should be triggered.

In both cases, this way, existing discounts (if any) are excluded from the compared order’s amount.

JS SDK major updates in `v5.0.0` ⚠️

SDK

April 3, 2023

We just released v5.0.0 of our JS SDK, introducing some new features and breaking changes ⚠️ mostly related to the latest OpenAPI schema update. Please find here below a summary of the most relevant ones — now:

Some fields (e.g. statuses) have a predefined set of allowed values.
Non-fetchable fields aren’t returned in the related object.
The control on the resource type has been reinforced.
You can use the new count() function when filtering every resource to get the total number of returned elements based on the filter that has been applied.
The overall code has been optimized to slightly reduce the package size.

… and more. Check the release notes and the open-source repo README for any additional information and examples.

Now, when using our My account application, you can see the list of the authenticated customer's saved cards (if any). Just click on the related sidebar menu item to access the new section.

Nullable key and enumeration on resource statuses in `v4.0.0` ⚠️

OpenAPI schema

March 7, 2023

We bumped our schema to the latest OpenAPI specification. Be advised that we introduced a potential breaking change ⚠️ by updating the server URL syntax for the organization slug since OAS v.3.1.0 does not support double curly brackets for variables anymore — {{your-organization-slug}} is now {your_organization_slug}. On top of that, we introduced the nullable key which is false if the related property is fetchable and required on creation, true if the related property is fetchable but not required on creation, and not present if the related property is not fetchable. We also added the enum key for the resources that have a status-like property (e.g. status, fulfillment_status, payment_status, etc.) so that all the available statuses are properly listed.

React 18 in `v4.0.0` ⚠️

February 28, 2023

Be advised that we introduced a potential breaking change ⚠️ — Starting from v4.0.0 the Checkout application will adopt React 18 and the latest version of our React components library.

New FBT helper endpoint 🌟

Metrics API

February 24, 2023

New hub with imports, exports, and webhooks apps 🚀

February 20, 2023

In addition to this, we also added the search functionality when browsing your account organizations list.

Axerve integration and auto-capture feature for payments 🌟

February 20, 2023

Auto-capture — now, you can ensure payments are automatically captured as soon as they are authorized (for gateways that support it). If needed, you can specify a threshold for auto-capture so that it is enabled only for orders under a certain amount.
Delayed capture — now, you can override the default behavior of the API and decide to start fulfilling your orders even if they’re not captured yet, waiting to capture them when they’re ready to be shipped.

Increased SKU list items number for bundles

January 25, 2023

Adyen Payment API switch in `v3.0.0` ⚠️

January 19, 2023

Adyen notifications enablement

We’ve updated and improved our out-of-the-box integration with Adyen which now supports the latest version (v68) of their Checkout API by default and lets you leverage their notification webhooks system (the only way to receive automatic updates about requests that are processed asynchronously).

Custom events dispatchment in `v1.1.0`

Micro frontends

January 18, 2023

Commerce Layer JS Drop-in library v1.1.0 now dispatches to the document object some custom events (when an item is added to the cart, and when a price or an SKU is fetched) that you can intercept to trigger specific actions on your side. To avoid the same event being fired too often a debouncing practice is also implemented.

External payment gateway components in `v4.2.0`
