Improved | Accounts & Security | Shop
The login button is disabled after clicking, preventing repeated submissions while the login is processed.
Due to the login button retaining its active state upon being clicked, users often pressed it multiple times when experiencing login delays. These delays were due to slow responses from back-end components, including the ERP system. To address this, we've now configured the login button to disable after it's pressed. Meanwhile, we are also focusing on enhancing the speed of the login process itself.94844: Enhanced Costline Pricing Flexibility
Improved | Prices, Stock & VAT | Shop
Cost lines can carry an uplift or discount price as well as a percentage, for ERP systems that require fixed values.

Improved the stock checks to prevent users from adding too many items to the basket.95160: Placeholders for login form fields
New | Accounts & Security | Shop
The portal login form supports placeholder hints in its input fields.
Placeholders in login form fields are gentle cues or hints inside the input boxes, often showing sample data or a brief description like "Username" or "Enter your password." They help users understand what information is needed without cluttering the form with extra labels. They're useful because they simplify the login process, making it intuitive and user-friendly.The portal login form now supports placeholders. This support will be extended to other forms used in the shop.
93232: Multiple additional tiles on homepage
Improved | Catalogue, Search & Navigation | Shop

Improved | Platform & Performance | Shop
All quantity input boxes across the shop use one shared component for consistent behavior.
The quantity input box, which can be visible on the homepage (lists), article group overview page, article group page, article detail page, shopping cart, order lists, and favorites lists, has various implementations. Both its visibility at a location and its behavior depend on many settings. To ensure maintenance, expandability, and quality, all required functionality is now consolidated into one component.94857: Article Group Adopts First Article's Image If None Assigned
Improved | Catalogue, Search & Navigation | Shop
Classification nodes without an image use the first child article group that has one, filling category images faster.
The inheritance of assets in the classification tree used to take the image asset of the first child ArticleGroup to substitute a missing ClassificationNode asset. This mechanism is now changed to the image asset of the first child ArticleGroup that contains an image. This leads to a quicker population of images in the ClassificationNode tree when filling a portal shop with images.93381: Enhanced Quotation Process: Email Notifications
New | E-mails | Shop
Quote requests send an e-mail containing all information needed to prepare the quotation.
When requesting a quote, we are now equipped to send an email containing all the necessary information for the quotation.95167: Exact: Usage of prices including VAT

This enables the shop to show the price excluding VAT.94833: Exact: Preservation of Order Line Sequencefor Product Bundles
Improved | ERP Integration | Integration | Exact Online
Orders with product bundles keep their order line sequence in Exact Online, showing which lines belong together.
When sending an order for product bundles to Exact, maintaining the order of these lines can be crucial. Since Exact doesn't recognize the notion of "product bundles," the sequence of order lines must visually indicate their association.95186: Streamlined Stock Calls Following Order List Adjustments
Improved | Platform & Performance | Integration | Settings: TreatAllArticlesasEndofLive
Changing order list quantities fetches stock and price in one call, halving resource use.
Adjustments in order list quantities used to initiate a stock call, regardless of whether stock information was vital.

The requisition for stock data is dictated by specific settings, including TreatAllArticlesasEndofLive and Ordermode.94981: SAP B1 Integration: Migration to .Net 7
Improved | Platform & Performance | Integration | SAP

To further streamline your operations, we've developed an Order API. It allows you to complement order data with ERP data such as the ERP order number.
Though we're bubbling with excitement for the Quote Module's debut, perfection takes time. Initially slated for August, we're now eyeing GA for October.
94547: Exact: Mapping Exact Delivery Method to Shoxl Delivery Scheme
Improved | Shipping & Delivery | Integration | Exact Online

New | ERP Integration | Integration | SAP
A near-real-time SAP Business One cache is being developed, so shops and portals no longer depend on SAP availability.
The SAP Business One interface will be redeveloped to align with our latest development insights. Among other things, an SAP cache will be developed that will align with the SAP contents required for portals and shops.

Consequently, this ERP cache will no longer rely on the availability of SAP.94508: Visma Cash: Export of invoice and delivery addresses
Improved | ERP Integration | Integration | Other ERP

New | Import, Export & APIs | Integration | Settings: UpdateShopDatabase, UpdateDeliveryCostsProvider
A new Order API lets external systems update shop orders and trigger actions such as updating delivery costs.
The Order API allows users to modify an order document in the shop and execute actions specific to the patch method. Before utilizing it, one must configure specific settings. The endpoint to update shop orders is https: //{domain}/api/v1.0/orders with supported action methods including UpdateShopDatabase and UpdateDeliveryCostsProvider.92747: Endpoint for retrieving the Order number upon availability.
New | Import, Export & APIs | Integration
The Order API returns the ERP order number once it is available, so shipping software can process the order.
Order API now returns the ERP ordernumber, when this becomes available. This feature is needed because in some cases the ordernumber is not yet available when submitting an order to an ERP system, and the shipment software (e.g. Delivery Match) needs it for processing the order. Zie: https: //app.gitbook.com/o/-Lr8SNrx9X2_k5JXMP6P/s/-LtA4mKRxZ43ImyX12__/~/changes/2263/shoxlpro/order-api94619: Order List Verification: Global Check Rather than Debtor-Specific
Fixed | Customer Portal | Shop
The order list indicator reflects only the logged-in debtor's own order lists, not those of other accounts.
When logging in with one debtor account and adding an item to the order list, if you subsequently log out and log in with a different debtor account, the shop still indicates that the item has been added. The verification seems to be conducted on a global basis rather than being specific to individual debtor accounts.93387: Exact Download of order documents without attachments
Fixed | Customer Portal | Integration | Exact Online
Downloading Exact Online order documents without attachments from the order history no longer causes an error.

Improved | Catalogue, Search & Navigation | Shop
Quantity boxes on the article group overview start at the price unit, such as 1 meter, instead of the smallest increment.
On the item group overview screen, the quantity input box should initially display the unit on which prices are based, rather than the incremental unit. For instance, if an item can be ordered per centimeter but the price is based on meters, the box should initially display "1" instead of "0.01". This addresses a usability concern.93491: Quote shop: Quote flow aansluiten op basket
New | Basket & Checkout | Shop
Quotes can be moved to the basket, adjusted and ordered, with the quote number passed to the ERP or CRM.

Improved | Accounts & Security | Shop
After login, private portals send users to the homepage, while public catalogs keep them on their current page.
In fully private portals, users currently return to the account page after logging out and then back in. Ideally, users should always be directed to the homepage upon login. However, for public-facing catalogs, it's likely best for users to remain on their current page after logging in.94738: Issue with Reordering Images on Item Group Screen
Fixed | Product Data (PIM) | Vendisto

New | ERP Integration | Integration | Exact Online | Settings: EnableDecimalQuantity, EnableItemPriceToArticleMapping, MinimumOrderQuantity, AdditionQuantity
Divisible Exact Online items can be ordered in fractions, with quantity steps derived from the administration's decimal precision.
Divisible Items in Exact can be bought in fractions. In order to support this in Shoxl Portals and Shops a number of changes were needed. We handle this as follows.An item that is divisible in Exact will cause the MinimumOrderQuantity, AdditionQuantity and FromQuantity to be divisible too.
If Exact works with 2 decimals, the AdditionQuantity will be 0.01. The PriceUnit will be 1.00. A customer will then be able to buy any quantity starting from 0.01, but see a starting value of 1.00 in the quantity input field.
This feature is enabled in the Exact integration configuration with the parameter EnableDecimalQuantity.
For shops that use the parameter EnableItemPriceToArticleMapping divisble values are only generated for prices that are based on the base unit of the divisible item.
E.G. for a divisible item "A" that can be sold in meter and in roll, the MinimumOrderQuantity, AdditionQuanity and FromQuantity for derived article "A-meter" will be set to 0.01 and for derived article "A-roll" these values will be set to 1.

When generating a token in the new format you do not have to wait until the token is expired in order to use it as was previously the case.93275: Retry transient errors in Vendisto.BatchInterface.Exact
Improved | ERP Integration | Integration | Exact Online
The Exact Online batch interface retries token requests, making synchronization less sensitive to network errors.
In some cases the execution of the Exact batch interface failed after the interface failed to get a token to retrieve the data from Exact. The mechanism that retrieves the token now first performs a number of retries to get the token. This makes the mechanism less vulnerable to network related errors.93384: Configuring Sales Rep Access to Shoxl Portal in Exact
New | Accounts & Security | Integration | Exact Online
Sales representatives can be configured in Exact Online so they can log in to the shop on behalf of customers.

In this release, support for Quote Requests was started. The plan is to have this functionality fully completed by the next release.
The integration with Exact has been extended with support for ordering divisible items in fractions. In addition, we now support Standard type price lists.
And finally, the Core Shop has been extended and modified in a considerable number of smaller points. Check the list for details!
93308: Support for decimal numbers in quantities
New | Basket & Checkout | Shop | Exact Online | Settings: MinimumOrderQuantity, AdditionQuantity
Minimum order quantities and order increments can use decimals, such as 0.5 m in 0.01 m steps, for divisible products.
It is now possible to use both a minimum order quantity and additional quantities that have decimals. Thus, you are able to specify, for instance, that the minimum order quantity that is allowed is 0.5m, and that increases with 0.01m are allowed.Using decimal numbers should, of course, only be possible when the ERP system accepts such numbers for specific products. In Exact, this is specified by setting the "divisible" property of a product.
Both the ErpCache batch interfaces as the REST API now support the use of decimal quantities when defining prices.
The MinimumOrderQuantity, AdditionQuantity and DiscountMinimumQuantity elements of the Gross Price Import XML format now support Decimal numbers.
Changed FromQuantity and ToQuantity datatype to decimal in ErpCache PriceList and CustomerPrices XML import formats and in GetProductInformations REST API. Introduced ShoxlRestApiSwagger_v14.json.
93140: Use of Pricelist of type Standard
Fixed | Prices, Stock & VAT | Integration | Exact Online
Customers without specific pricing get prices from the Exact Online standard price list, with default prices as fallback.
The shop now correctly uses the Exact pricelist of type "Standard". This pricelist, of which there can be only one per company, contains the prices which are used when there is no customer-specific pricing defined. If there is no Standard pricelist, default prices are used.92958: Add Warehouse when placing order
Improved | ERP Integration | Integration | Exact Online | Settings: DefaultWarehouseCode
Orders sent to Exact Online include a warehouse, using the main warehouse unless another default is configured.
Exact Online: Warehouse is now beïng set when placing the order. When multiple warehouses are available, the main warehouse is taken unless otherwise configured in the DefaultWarehouseCode configuration setting.93369: Export of barcodes (GTINs)
Improved | ERP Integration | Integration | Exact Online

Fixed | ERP Integration | Integration | Exact Online
Duplicate line numbers in Exact Online orders are renumbered, so the order history imports without errors.
Exact Online sometimes produces double linenumbers for some of the orders when exporting orders for the ErpCache orderhistory. Since these double linenumbers where leading to import issues, the linenumbers are now renumbered if a double linenumber is detected.93302: Unknown Unitcode exporting articles
Fixed | ERP Integration | Integration | Exact Online | Settings: UnitField
Inactive Exact Online units are exported too, so articles keep valid unit codes after unit descriptions change.

Check out the release notes to get the full picture!
91723: Implementation of Delivery Schemes
New | Shipping & Delivery | Shop
Delivery schemes with delivery days and cut-off times can be linked to customers, who can then only choose valid delivery dates.
Delivery schemes specify the dates/days on which goods can be delivered to customers.This can, for instance, depend on routes that are driven: a driver can visit the province of North Brabant only on Tuesdays, and thus a customer in this Province can only opt for delivery on a Tuesday.
When a customer wants to order for delivery on specific dates, he/she/it will also has to deal with cut-off times. So for example, orders for Tuesday must be submitted by 4 p.m. Friday.
Delivery schemes can get complex, because of exceptions such as public holidays.
With our new Delivery Scheme feature it is possible to create delivery schedules that consist of both delivery days/dates and the accompanying cut-off times, and to link them to customers. When choosing a preferred delivery date during check-out, customers can only select days that are available according to the schedule they are linked to.
92824: Management of Delivery Schedules

Delivery schedules can be managed in a new Vendisto module.
Vendisto has been extended with a module to manage delivery schedules.92562: Entering of customer orders by sales reps

With this module a sales representative can now log in to a shop or portal of his customers, without the need to sign in and out repetitively.Assigning sales resp to customers is a simple action of creating a user account within the customer account, with the sales reps emailaddress as the username.
All companies a sales rep has access to will then be shown in a list that appears after initial login of the sales rep. After selecting a company, the sales rep can proceed with entering orders for the customer. When done, the Exit button will then show the list of customers again.
For administrators, we have created an option to access all existing customers.
92554: Account API's Sales Rep Retrieval Endpoint
New | Accounts & Security | Shop
The account API can return the sales representatives linked to a specific customer.
The account API has now an endpoint for retrieving the sales rep that is linked to a specific customer. Sales reps are linked to a customer by creating a user within that custmer, with the email address of the sales rep. A sales rep can access all customers in which he/she/it has a user account.91360: Implementation of lightweight Account API
Improved | Platform & Performance | Shop
A new lightweight account API makes logging in to shops and portals much faster.
In the Shoxl e-commerce platform architecture, the management component Vendisto plays an essential role. For instance, when a user logs in to a shop or portal, his/her/its credentials are checked by consulting Vendisto.With the growing set of features that depend upon Vendisto, responses are slowing down to a level that negatively affects usablity.
Our new and very lightweight login API allows the various services and features of our e-commerce platform to acquire the necessary authorizations very fast.
So, goodbye to long waiting times when logging in! After completion, the new API will be rolled out to all of our shops in a staged manner.

Fixed various currency formatting inconsistencies88508: Formatting of prices (splitting language and culture)
New | Prices, Stock & VAT | Shop
Price and date formatting can follow a separate culture from the shop language, such as comma decimals in English.
It is now possible to separate the shop language, and the culture that is used for formatting prices, dates, and so on. So for example, when visting a shop in the Englisg language, previously prices were displayed with a dot as decimal sign. For Dutch vistors that use the English language, this shoud be a comma sign. In the new set-up this is now possible.92929: Show article number in list view

Orders to Northern Ireland are treated as non-EU and use 0% VAT instead of reverse charge.
OK, we too have finally figured it out: Northern Ireland is no longer part of the EU.According to our code, 'XI' was still within the EU. The VIES settings, that are used to check whether we should apply VAT for foreign transactions, also still mentioned XI: 'AT,BE,BG,CY,CZ,DE,DK,EE,GR,ES,FI,FR,HR,HU,IE,IT,LT,LU,LV,MT,NL,PL,PT,RO,SE,SI,SK,XI'.

The advantage of this approach is, of course, that management of these properties can be done in the familiar environment of Exact.The number of extra fields for an item in Exact is limited to 8. The fields that define product properties are configured during protal/shop setup.
92026: Exact order upload fails when executed on multiple orders
Fixed | ERP Integration | Integration | Exact Online
Order upload to Exact Online no longer fails when several orders are placed within a short time.
when multiple orders were placed within a very short timeframe, the order upload might fail. This has been remedied.91947: No delivery address set in sales order for pick-up orders
Fixed | ERP Integration | Integration | Exact Online
Pickup orders reach Exact Online with the invoice address as delivery address and the matching shipping method.
When placing a pickup order in the shop, the pickup address is added as a delivery address in the order. This was leading to the pickup address added as a delivery address when placing the order in Exact Online. This behaviour is now changed.

New | Payments | Integration
You can choose whether customers may pay online when no delivery method and delivery costs are available.
When no delivery method is returned by DeliveryMatch (or any other software that allows the customer to select a delivery method), the delivery costs are not known. It should be configurable whether a customer, in such cases, is allowed to pay the preliminary invoice, or has to wait until a final invoice is sent by the shop.91777: Preventing time-outs when placing intercompany orders to SAP
Improved | ERP Integration | Integration | SAP
Intercompany orders are passed to SAP Business ByDesign via an XML file, eliminating time-outs.

For each VAT percentage used in the order, an additional order line will be included.This means that three new items need to be created in Exact:
- Coupon discount 21% VAT
- Coupon discount 9% VAT
- Coupon discount no VAT
The item numbers of these Coupon items are configured in the settings of the Coupon module.

The cache can be setup on one hour, but is configurable by webshopsettings (image/OriginalImageCacheTimeInHours) When the cache has been expired, it will still check if the image has been changed.

New | Shipping & Delivery | Integration
Characters in postal codes can be replaced per country when requesting delivery options, while the ERP keeps standard codes.

However, when posting this postal code to DeliveryMatch (to calculate delivery costs and find the best carrier) the postal code is refused because of the dash.We are now able to replace or remove specified characters in postal codes for specific countries, when posting to carrier selection software. The correct postal codes are still used for the ERP system (which otherwise would refuse them, sine they do not comply to the standard for postal codes).

In October, "product bundles" were introduced: items that are sold as a set, but that are entered in the ERP system as separate SKUs. A bundle consists of components, and for each component the customer can choose from the variants within the bundle. Previously defined authorisations also apply to bundles, so customers can only put together bundles from components they have access to.
Elegant and advanced technology, then, that can be used by any business that deals with product configurations.
85621: New layout block for Product Bundles
New | Product Pages & Configuration | Shop | Settings: ArticleComponentsOrderInterface
Customers can compose product bundles from required and optional components on the article page, with per-customer visibility and prices.
With the new layout block ArticleComponentsOrderInterface it is possible to activate an orderinterface in which customers can compose a bundle.
The articles that can be a part of this bundle are defined in the Shoxl PIM module. In this module you first define the component types, such as "Verpakking" in the example image. Then you define which articles should be shown as options for this component type.
Articles can be optional or required, and can have their own price which is added to the bundle price when the option is selected.
Articles have their own SKU, so can be available outside of the bundle also. There is no need to define bundles in the ERP system, articles are handled as individual items.
For all articles that are part of the bundle you are able to specify who is allowed to see and select them. This way you can show generaic options to everybody, and customer-specific ones only to selected customers.
84777: Support for Product Bundles in Order Lists
New | Customer Portal | Shop
Order lists can store product bundles, so customers quickly reorder configurations they need regularly.

Each articlenumber and title of the derived articles are extended with resp. the code and description of the unit in the sale price. The derived articles are exported to Vendisto and to the shop. Since the customer is able to define options for each product variant (article) in Vendisto this enables the shop to display different options for each of the Exact item's price units. When placing the order in Exact, the derived articlenumbers are translated back to the original item and price unit.87700: Not able to set Positions of bundle component selection boxes in Vendisto

With the completion of the implementation of our Layout Language, we reach a fine milestone in the March release. In this language we describe the structure of the pages you find in the shop. Think of a product page, or the shopping basket page.
As of the March release, all page types are now covered by this language and can therefore be configured flexibly. Need an info block somewhere? A list of related product groups? Want to show certain product properties grouped together somewhere? With the new layout language, all of this is no more than adjusting a page description. In short, virtually unlimited possibilities for our Enterprise customers.
On the integration side, the focus this time was on details, such as fully aligning our shop calculations with the VAT calculation and rounding method in Exact. It goes somewhat against our architectural principles, but sometimes we cannot avoid duplicating some ERP functionality in the Shoxl platform. When it comes to VAT and rounding, every ERP package has its own approach, and it is almost never clearly documented. But, in close consultation with Exact, we are now fully aligned again.

New | Import, Export & APIs | Integration | SAP | Settings: ArticleGroupDefaultTitle, EnableArticleGroupSplitting
Article XML imports can create article groups titled after the article number and control whether missing articles are split off.
Added import settings ArticleGroupDefaultTitle and EnableArticleGroupSplitting to the article XML import.The ArticleGroupDefaultTitle can be set to Undefined (this is the default value) or to ArticleNumber.
If set to ArticleNumber this setting specifies that for new articles the ArticleNumber will be used as the title of the ArticleGroup when creating an articlegroup for the article if no Title element is present on the ArticleGroup XML.
If EnableArticleGroupSplitting is set to to Y (default value N) the article import requires that all of the articlegroup's articles are present in the article group node in the XML import. Articles that are not present in the node will be split from the articlegroup after updating the article.

In addition, it has become possible, for example, to make a selection from the favourites list and add it to the shopping basket in one action.

Release 2022.01 (January 2022)

In the meantime, we have also been busy with our Portal Edition for Exact Online, which we have given a completely new look. We are proud of it, so we would love it if you took a look at the result. Make an appointment for an online demo so we can see whether our enthusiasm is justified. (Don't tell anyone, but throughout February we also have a nice introductory offer.)

Release 2021.12 (December 2021)
In December we were pleased to welcome a new member of the Shoxl family: Shoxl for Exact Online Portal Edition. The Portal Edition extends Exact Online with an ordering portal. Customers order online and have insight into their order history. A win-win situation, then: a more efficient and cheaper sales process, and even higher customer satisfaction than you had already achieved.
Did you know that visitors who search on a B2C website generate up to 5 times more revenue than non-searchers? And that their average order value is higher as well? In a B2B shop this will be somewhat more nuanced, but there is no doubt that the quality of search facilities is important. With the Elastic Search integration, a more visual form of search is now also available for Shoxl shops. And that is not all: we are also working on a "native" extended search, so stay tuned!
On the integration side, this month's attention went mainly into extending the connection with Exact Online, in connection with the launch of Shoxl for Exact Online Portal Edition. But there were also various small improvements for SAP, Anzio and Dynamics.
: Shoxl for Exact Online Portal Edition
New | Customer Portal | Shop | Exact Online
A new entry-level edition adds a cloud order portal to Exact Online for online ordering, repeat orders and order history.
Shoxl for Exact Online Portal Edition is our new entry-level edition for companies that want to extend their Exact Online installation with an Order Portal. The Order Portal enables customers to order online, facilitates quick and repeat ordering, and to view order status and order history. Portal accesss and product catalogue management is fully managed in Exact, without the need for for plug-ins and the likes. The Portal itself runs cloud-based in its own instance, so no local installation necessary.
The Portal Edition therefore is an out-of-the-box, easy to install and manage, powerful and affordable extension to Exact Online. More information on this Edition can be found here.
: Elastic Integration enabling visual search
New | Catalogue, Search & Navigation | Shop
Search can show a visual autocomplete dropdown with product images through an optional Elastic integration.
Shoxl now interfaces with ElasticSearch through Swiftype, a commercial onsite search engine built on top of the Elastic platform. Through this integration, searching a catalogue can now result in a dropdown showing both images and textual search results.
This allows for a more visual type of search (of course, depending on the availability of useful product images). The dropdown will be populated through auto-completion; so every character that is added will change the results set towards a set of of products that more accurately match the search expectations.
ElasticSearch is part of the Elastic Stack: a cloud-based search and analytics engine. ElasticSearch enables the creation of a leading search experience. The tool comes with robust analytics and tunable relevance controls. Users can influence search results by setting weights and boosts, and can promote or hide specific search results.
The Elastic/Swiftype integration is available through a monthly subscription, starting at USD 79 for an assortment of up to 5000 products. Currently the integration will only work on product sets without authorizations.
In parallel, we are extending our standard Shoxl product search with a dropdown that also autocompletes and contains images and texts. This native search extension is epexcted to be available early Q2/2022.
Our search will deliver the same search experience, but also take into account authorizations on products. The search results page will not be changed. We will still show filters that are generated from the search results; and return product groups and classification nodes instead of individual products. An important difference with the Elastic family will be that we will not (albeit initially) offer facilities to users to customize search results on the basis of an analysis of search behaviour.
The choice between Elastic and native search will first of all depend on the use of authorizations. If they are not in use, the main advantage of the ElasticSearch integration is the adaptability of Search results by the user. Using ElasticSearch comes at a cost however: these facilities do not come cheaply, especially with large assortments.
80443: Article Group Page: display of Youtube videos

In this release, the Quick Order functionality of the shop has been extended with the "Order Grid": a clear table on the product group page that shows all variants within a product group, including their distinguishing characteristics. On the same page, it has become possible (in the language used to define page layouts) to place groups of product characteristics in different positions. This gives designers more flexibility to arrive at a page that communicates optimally.
There is also good news on the integration side: a new direct integration with Exact Globe has become available, and a connection has been developed with the SmartLynx middleware layer on SAP Business One.
77864: Implement Order Grid on an ArticleGroup page
New | Product Pages & Configuration | Shop | Settings: OrderGrid
Article group pages can show an order grid listing all variants for a selected property value, such as colour, for fast ordering.
An OrderGrid option has been added for the ArticleGroup detail page. When this option is activated a selection UI by a definable property will be displayed (e.g. color). When one or more of the values in this UI is selected an OrderGrid result will be generated. This result consists of a grid containing all the articles available for the selected value. Multiple value selection lead to multiple OrderGrid results.
This functionality can be activated by defining the "OrderGrid" settings in the "ArticleGroup" of the WebshopSettings and placing the filter UI and result UI in the LayoutSettings.
78417: Select the first available color when using the OrderGrid
Improved | Product Pages & Configuration | Shop
When only one filter value exists, the order grid selects it automatically.
When the OrderGrid is in use and only one filter option is available, this option will be automatically selected.77206: Display Value icons in Order Grid
New | Catalogue, Search & Navigation | Shop
Article group tiles on overview pages can show icons for property values of the articles they contain.

There's no limit to the amount of properties that can be configured for this functionality.77891: Improved user feedback when adding articles to basket
Improved | Basket & Checkout | Shop
After adding items, the basket preview can open briefly as feedback instead of a pop-up message.
When a user adds items to the basket, a setting now determines user feedback. Previously a feedback pop-up was presented. Now an alternative has been implemented, in which the basket preview automatically opens (and closes after a few seconds). This is the same preview as the one shown when hovering the basket.78002: Define relationships between article groups
New | Product Pages & Configuration | Shop
The shop derives article group relationships automatically when a single article in one group relates to a single article in another.
By default, related articles are defined on article level. So, an specific product variant is related to a product variant in another group. An example would be: this drill bit is an accessory to this drilling machine. However, in some cases relationships are needed om the article group level. For instance, this t-shirt is a good fit with this trouser (insted of: this red t-shirt, size M, is a good fit with this trouser, grey, size 38). In order to easily define relationships between article groups A and B, the shop now automatically generates such a relationship when one single item in article group A has a relationship with one single item in group B.73057: Quick CSV Ordering using alternative units
Improved | Basket & Checkout | Shop
Quick order CSV files can use alternative packaging units, which the shop converts to its standard unit.
The quick order import through CSV assumes that single units are ordered. However, some shops use different packaging units. It has now been made possible to use other packaging units in the Quick Ordering CSV, which the shop then translates to regular units or any unit the shop uses as its standard.77892: Remember delivery date filter on article ordering page
Improved | Product Pages & Configuration | Shop
A delivery date selected in the filters is remembered and preselected on the article detail page.
The shop offers the option to filter on possible delivery dates. By default, filters dispappear when you visit an article detail page (since you have found what you are looking for). However, the selected date is something you still neeed when ordering the article. Now, if you have selected a delivery date in the filter options, the shop will remember the date and preselect this delivery date when you visit an article detail page78473: Hide the order UI in the OrderGrid when no prices are available
Improved | Product Pages & Configuration | Shop
The order grid hides prices and ordering controls when price display is switched off for the shop.
The grid can now hide prices and the order UI when the prices are not being displayed as a result of the WebshopSettings.78528: Tabbed Display of Property Groups on Article Group Page
New | Product Pages & Configuration | Shop | Settings: PropertyCategoryTabs
Property groups on the article group page can be shown as tabs in a configurable order.
A new layout element has been added to the layout language: PropertyCategoryTabs. This element describes the property groups that have to be displayed as tabs on the ArticleGroup page. The order in this list also dictates the order in which the tabs will be displayed on the ArticleGroup page.78133: PropertyCategory not shown on page
Fixed | Product Pages & Configuration | Shop | Settings: PropertyCategory
Properties assigned to a property category appear in that category on the page instead of disappearing.
In Shoxl shops, the layout of a page is set up using a layout language. One of the constructs in this language is the "PropertyCategory", which is used to categorize a set of product properties. This set can then be postioned as a whole on the page, and has its own class - which makes it essy to format the items through CSS. This offers great flexibility for page designs.In this case, a problem has been solved in which a product property was classified in a sepecif properrty category, disappeared from the list of all product properties (which is as it should be), but did not appear in the propert category.
78407: Error when trying to add an article to an order list

Improved | Product Pages & Configuration | Shop
Choosing continue shopping after ordering from a product pop-up closes the pop-up and returns to the overview page.

Previously this was arranged per shop, which is no longer feasible with the growing number of shops. The intention is to eventually make these settings options accessible to shop owners as well.
The number of cases in the integration area may seem modest, but here too an important step has been taken: our software now also handles more complex discount rules within SAP.

Fixed | Basket & Checkout | Shop
Customers can order any quantity above the minimum order quantity, not only multiples of it.
The minimal order quantity did not function as expected in some configurations.

So if the minimum order quantity was 6 then only quantities of 6, 12, 18, 24 etc. would be considered valid.This logic has now been fixed. So for a minimum order quantity of 6 all quantities larger that 6 will be considered valid.

But the many smaller changes also add up to a clear improvement in the user experience. In addition, we remain very enthusiastic here about the many possibilities the integration with Zapier offers, this time in the area of preprocessing the transactional emails the shop sends.
On the integration side, it is certainly worth mentioning that the shop now also has a REST interface, in addition to the existing SOAP interface.

In the area of integration with ERP systems, a lot of attention again went into integration with the various Exact variants. For example, it has become possible to specify minimum order quantities per product in Exact, and a small but annoying rounding difference caused by VAT calculations has been fixed.
73136: Usage of postmark templates for transactional mail
Improved | E-mails | Shop

It has been made possible to configure a custom form for new customer registration.This is done by creating this form by any means, for instance by using a package such as mailchimp. Next, the form is embedded on a Page in the shop.
The only question that remains is: how to link the "Register" button on the Login page to this Page. This is done by creating a link in the resources file on the specific button class.

The packaging units in use and their values for a specific article can be defined in de article properties. What property is used for what packaging unit is defined in the webshop settings.
It is not mandatory to use all 3 packaging units, it is possible to use just 1 or 2.
An additional option to this is the display of weight and volume per article in the basket and for the basket as a whole.

These products will then get the default rate for the region. If applicable another VAT rate may be chosen at the product level.

These fields are called "Original Title" and "Original Description Header/Footer".The shop will use the Title, Description Header and Description Footer fields. Initially, these fields will be set to the imported data, so equal the Original field values. They may be changed by the user however.

67012: Scan App: Barcode Scan should only search the GTIN field for GTINs
Improved | ScanApp & PunchOut | Shop
Barcode scans in the Scan App search on article number or GTIN first, returning one match instead of several.
A scan of a barcode could results in more thanone find, because the search function also looked for the scanned GTIN in other fields such as the description field. For this reason the search and barcode scan functionality has been changed. The general search in the top of the app still works as before. The quick order in the basket and by extension the search function underlying the barcode scan has been changed. It will first attempt to find an article based on article number or GTIN, if this is unsuccessfully it will revert to the basic search functionality as described above.66967: Scan App: Disabled http traffic to improve security

The page editor gets consistent padding, carousel links and alt texts, fixed-width containers, device-based hiding and placeholders for missing images.
66390 Page Editor: components now take full width of container (no padding)Padding on some components was causing confusion about the component positioning. The paddings are now consistent and should be a closer match to end-user expectations
66305 Page Editor: All slides should have the size of the biggest image
Carousel was constantly switching height because placeholders had a fixed height independent of the images placed in the carousel. The behaviour was updated, so that placeholders have the same height as the highest image in the carousel. This should be more consistent with user expectations, especially if users fill the carousel with images having the same height
66304 Page Editor: Add hyperlink, alt for images/slides
The carousel component was capable of adding/removing images only. Images in the carousel can now point to a particular hyperlink (added from the side menu) or have an alt text (added from the image browser dialog)
66312 Page Editor: 12 col container that does not stretch the full-width
Previously, users had the option to place rows that span to the full width of a page only. Now they can make use of the container and container-fluid Bootstrap classes. By setting an option in the Row side menu, the selected Row will either occupy a fixed width (changing per device) or span the full width of the screen

List and item blocks now render a placeholder when dropped on the canvas. Furthermore it is now possible to specify the type of item that is to be rendered (product, news, wiki).

Image components without an image were displaying a placeholder in the editor, but as a missing image in the shop. Placeholders are now made available in the shop as well
65344 Page Editor: Hiding/showing content depending on device size
Bootstrap provides utility classes which enable users to hide HTML elements for different device sizes. Users can hide Rows by clicking on the crossed eye icon in the Row toolbar. Hidden rows can then be viewed by clicking on the same icon in the editor top bar
66998 Page Editor: Changing an image does not update site
Changing images (or other properties) should update site
66996 Page Editor: Label PageEditor positioned on top of image upload dialog
The upload dialog covers everything on the page
66315 Page Editor: Responsive height is lost on duplicate/move
Carousel slides and images should resize to keep the aspect ratio of the selected image. The behaviour was breaking when moving or duplicating components. Both now preserve their height even when moved or duplicated.
Release 2020.06 (June 2020)
In June, the first version of our completely redesigned PageEditor became available. With this editor, fully responsive pages can be put together by "drag-and-drop" of blocks. In upcoming releases, the editor will be extended further with new content types.

It requires the shop to be configured to use the caching layer. The feature requires a subscription.64522: Show both discounted and original price
Improved | Prices, Stock & VAT | Shop | Exact Online
Product pages can show the original price alongside the discounted price, next to customer-specific and volume prices from the ERP.
The shop now shows both original and discounted gross prices, based on gross pricelists that are maintained in the ERP system.The capability to shows customer-specific price lists (discounts) is also still available. It is thus possible to show, for a specific article, the original price, the discounted price, a customer-specific price, and if applicable also pricing discount based on volume.
Technical background: Implemented outlet and action pricelists to be exported as discount prices in brutopricelist, ERP Cache pricelist and ERP Cache customer prices for Exact batch interface.
66626: Page Editor supports full page width
Improved | Content & SEO | Shop
Page editor content spans the full page width, so banners can cover the whole page while containers keep side margins.
"The new "PageEditor" template content will always be shown at full page-width (100%). This allows users to create banners/wows that span a whole page. Content that needs left/right whitespace must now be placed in a container.Please note that this also requires a change of the CSS used for the shop; otherwise, standard bootstrap behaviour will result in a small amount of whitespace to the left and right of the row content."
66628: Row visibility to be based on user authorization profile
New | Content & SEO | Shop
Page editor rows can be shown only to users in selected authorization profiles, enabling targeted content per customer group.
The PageEditor template offers the option to specify which users can view the row content. This works on the row level, e.g.: the user will either see all content in all cells (columns) in a row, or the user will not see the row at all. Both rows and users are added to one or more authorization groups. The user sees all rows that are visible for the authorization profiles the user has been added to.66807: Show product images in order conformation mail
New | E-mails | Shop

Fixed | Catalogue, Search & Navigation | Shop
Article group search results always show the article group image, using an article image only when the group has none.
An articlegroup search result sometimes displayed the article image instead of the articlegroup image. This has been fixed. The articlegroup search result will now always display the image belonging to the articlegroup. If the articlegroup doesn't contain any images an article image will be used.66763: Show/Hide button only visible for users of external datapool

66085: Shop CSS now applied for Vendisto content too
Improved | Content & SEO | Vendisto
Vendisto content editors apply the shop's own CSS, so edited content looks the same as on the live shop.
For a better "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" experience Vendisto content editors now use the same styling as applied in the shop itself. The CSS to be used can be specified in Vendisto (Settings/Vendisto/Page editor external styling).Images that are uploaded in the Vendisto editor now get the "img-responsive" class. Previously this class was only applied at page rendering by the shop. By adding the class to images in the editor we ensure that they are equal to the cell width here too.
