MINOR Tiered cart subtotal discounts in a single promotion

You can now set up all tiers of a tiered cart discount in one promotion in Promotions Builder. Each tier is its own Cart discount action with a cart subtotal range, so you no longer need a separate promotion for each tier.

What's New?

• Cart subtotal ranges on cart discounts - Use +refine on a cart discount action to add a Cart subtotal range. The discount applies only when the cart subtotal is within that range, inclusive of both amounts
• Multiple tiers per promotion - Add one cart discount action per tier, and use Duplicate action to copy an existing tier, including its range and inclusions, then change the percentage and range
• Inclusions and exclusions on ranges - Add inclusions or exclusions, such as a category, to a range to control which items count toward the cart subtotal for that tier. When a tier applies, the discount applies to the whole cart subtotal
• Open-ended top tier - Leave the maximum amount blank to apply a tier to any cart subtotal equal to or greater than the minimum amount

Promotions Builder doesn't check tiers for overlaps or gaps, so make sure your ranges don't overlap and only one tier applies to a cart. Create the lowest tier first and add higher tiers in ascending order. Otherwise, a higher tier's discount can reduce the cart subtotal into a lower tier's range and both discounts apply.

MAJOR Custom User Roles

Commerce Manager now supports custom user roles, so admins can define exactly the access each team member needs instead of choosing from the built-in standard roles alone. Manage roles from Settings > Team > Roles.

What's New?

• Create Custom Roles - Define a role with a name, description, and a per-permission-group access level (No access, View, or Manage) across areas like Catalogs, Orders, Content and Pages, Team, and more
• Standard and Custom role tabs - The Roles page lists the built-in standard roles and your custom roles separately, with a permissions summary showing how many groups have View vs. Manage access
• Assign custom roles to team members - Choose a standard or custom role when inviting a new team member or editing an existing one
• Organization-owned roles - A role created at the organization level is inherited, read-only, by every store in the organization; duplicating it creates a store-owned copy you can edit independently

MAJOR New price books and product configurations experience

To make price books and product configurations consistent with recent updates to product pages, we have released a redesigned user interface for these areas in Commerce Manager.

What's New?

• New price book UI - The price book list design has been updated. Within the price books editor, the pricing table has been refreshed, and products are added to it from a searchable slide-in sheet. Currencies can be shown and hidden with the column selector on the product list. The price modifiers UI has also been updated, and can be accessed via a new tab within the editor.
• Templates & attributes - Templates and attributes are now a single page, with attributes created and edited inline under their owning template
• Variations - A dedicated list and editor, with variation options managed in slide-in sheets
• Product relationships - Previously "Custom relationships", now with its own list and editor view

MINOR Improved Subscription and Invoice Management

We've made it easier to review subscriptions and invoices in Commerce Manager, with quicker access to details, clearer invoice context, and a smoother browsing experience.

What's New?

• Stripe payment ID in invoices - The invoices table now displays the associated Stripe payment ID, so you can quickly reconcile payments
• Subscription details in a sheet - Subscription details now open in a side sheet instead of a separate page, showing a focused version of the Subscriber view scoped to a single subscription and its invoices
• Richer subscription sheet - The sheet now includes subscriber details, a link to the subscriber, and that subscription's invoices in one place
• Clearer invoice context - In the Subscriber panel, each invoice now shows which subscription it belongs to via a subscription link/column and on the "last invoice" card
• Pagination fix - Fixed a bug where invoice pagination would reset when closing the sheet

For details see:

• Viewing Invoices
• Managing Active Subscriptions

MAJOR A Revamped Product Editing Experience

We've completely redesigned the Product Editor in Commerce Manager, making it faster and easier to manage your catalog with greater clarity and less friction.

What's New?

• Side-by-side editor - The editor opens alongside your product list, so you can select and switch between products without losing your place or disrupting your workflow
• Preserved search & filter criteria - Active search and filter settings are retained as you navigate between products, making bulk review and updates far more efficient
• Global saving - Changes are automatically queued as you work across sections; save everything at once with a single button, or discard to revert to the last saved state
• Streamlined section navigation - Product sections are organized into four clear areas: Product Details, Categorization, Pricing, and Inventory
• Variation navigator - For products with variations, switch between them using the variation selector or expand the product list table to navigate child products directly
• Reorganized layout - The most relevant fields are prioritized up front, less frequently updated fields are read-only by default, and empty fields are hidden to reduce clutter, with a secondary view available when needed
• Integrated custom attributes - Attribute templates are built directly into the Product Details tab, with inline value updates, expand/collapse via the toolbar, and a toggle to hide empty fields
• Improved categorization - Assign products to hierarchies, nodes, or tags with ease, using a secondary pane to search, select multiple nodes at once, and remove them with a single click
• Redesigned pricing tables - Pricing is displayed in a structured table with inline value entry, currency visibility toggles, and tax inclusion mode controls; volume and sale pricing options appear only when in use
• Unified inventory experience - Inventory is organized by location for a clearer view of stock levels, with multi-location support and quantity management consistent with the broader inventory section in Commerce Manager

MINOR Introduced Shopper and Admin Custom Attributes for Products

Merchandisers and integrators can now attach flexible string metadata to products in two visibility tiers—catalog-visible shopper attributes and admin-only attributes—using the same model already established for hierarchy nodes.

What's New?

Extended the PIM product model with shopper_attributes and admin_attributes: optional maps of string keys to string values, validated consistently with nodes (including limits on the number of keys and on name and value length).

Product APIs support creating, updating, and reading these fields on products; persisted data is stored on the product document for downstream catalog and administration flows.

Product lifecycle events for create and update now include shopper and admin custom attributes where applicable, so downstream consumers can react without an extra round trip.

CSV export can emit custom attribute columns using the shopper_attributes. and admin_attributes. prefixes; selective exports use columns.include with either explicit keys or a per-type wildcard (shopper_attributes.* / admin_attributes.*), with validation that prevents combining a wildcard and individual columns for the same attribute type in one request.

CSV import understands the same column naming, so bulk workflows can round-trip attribute data alongside core product fields.

For variant matrices, new child products inherit the base product’s shopper and admin attributes at build time; rebuild reconciles parent keys onto matched existing children so shared parent metadata stays aligned while child-specific keys remain unless the parent removes them.

This release brings product custom attributes in line with hierarchy behavior and reduces the need for parallel systems or workarounds for storefront versus internal metadata.

MINOR Custom Attribute-Based Condition for Cart Items

MINOR Max Units Limitation for Promotions

You can now set a maximum quantity limit across all eligible items in a promotion. This new Maximum discounted quantities across all eligible items option allows you to cap the total number of units that receive a discount.

For details see:

• Creating an Item Discount with Max Units Limitation Guide

MAJOR Custom API Navigation Placement

MAJOR New Custom Field Types for Custom APIs

What's New?

What's Changed?

• Subscription products are now called plans
