How to Add YouTube Video to Your Product Page in Virto Commerce

Highlight Active left menu item

Rework size & weight widget blade

Improved size & weight widget blade in the Item measurement. It allows to select dimensions from package or set custom values.

Added Company’s Default address

We allow selecting Default billing or shipping address for companies addresses.

Make export/import of product variations, properties

Preview functionally are available in VirtoCommerce/vc-module-catalog-export-import (github.com)

Improved dynamic properties blade

The dynamic properties blade was improved with infinite scroll.

Added Partial update in XAPI mutations

Added partial update capabilities to the following mutations:

  • Update Address
  • Add or Update Shipment
  • Add or Update Payment

Add fields are made optional, in case Shipments or Payments now we can update them without passing the “Address” object to mutation arguments.

Improved Category Cache

Old mechanism: global changing region on all objects, any change in category metadata lead to clearing all cache.

Now, changing properties or meta-data of categories only changes related cache region.

Dynamic properties are supported in update mutations

Added ‘DynamicProperties’ argument to the following mutations:

  • AddOrUpdateCartShipment
  • AddOrUpdateCartPayment
  • AddItem
  • AddItemsCart
  • CreateContact
  • UpdateContact
  • CreateOrganizaiton
  • UpdateOrganization

Assets extracted from the platform to modules

We are simplifying the platform by removing features for the modules. Today we extracted assets from the platform to modules. You can find three new modules: Assets, File System Assets and Azure Blob Storage Assets. For some period platform functionality and new modules will leave together, then we mark the platform interface as obsolete and finally remove it.
