Merchants can now easily claim ownership of their page at the Google search console in order to gain the benefits it offers.

Merchants have been struggling with providing high quality product images. We increase guidance here by displaying the recommended image size.

As a merchant, you can give customers the possibility to use search filters based on product attributes so that they can find the desired product as quickly as possible. This will increase conversion through quick and easy navigation and is an important feature for nearly every type of retail business.

The Product API now provides the image dimensions along with the URL in order to prevent „page jumps“ during loading.

This introduces a new scope and endpoints to read all cart data.This helps merchants to reengage with endcustomers that left their cart and did not complete the checkout.

Product numbers are now included in the While the variations table makes variation handling easy and simple. It reaches its limit when it comes to changing descriptions, categories, etc.. for single variations. Thus we introduced a new page where all of this can be edited dedicatedly, while still keeping the table in place.

Merchants can now attach legal documents to order status emails. We generate pdfs of the legal pages every time they are changed.

These design and wording changes follow the rebranding of Klarna and SOFORT in numerous markets.

We already have a validation for US addresses in place during the checkout. We implemented this for customer addresses in the administration as well.

We have moved the possibility to edit the cookie notice from its place in the administration to the content editor. We will display a notification on the MBO startpage to inform the merchants of this.

We have already included editing of the cookie notice in the content editor. With this issue we have also removed it from its previous location.

In some countries it is required that the end customers VAT-ID should show up on any invoice. We display it if it exists on the billing address.

While we supply default tax matrixes for any country our merchants are located in, it is still difficult to account for all exceptions and special cases that are in place worldwide. Thus we decided to enable our merchants to edit their tax matrix should the need arise.
