New DLL's are now available to be deployed. 

Below you will find a list of new features, improvements and bug fixes that you can expect to see in this update.

New Features

• Automatic SIM Product Activation (AutoSIM) now supports grouping products by colour;
• Google shopping feed now includes Find and Filter driven Star Buys information;
• Customer savings now highlighted in the checkout with an additional column added to show the saving (only visible when applicable).

Improvements

• Google Maps link when checking store stock location on the product page now uses the longitude and latitude for stores configured with this information in the Click and Collect set up, to provide a more accurate location on the map;
• Quantity box hidden when Star Buys promotion applied in new checkout, to make it more obvious that quantity is not editable;
• On-page user guidance updated when inputting technical specification in old Merchant Tools;
• Wording added to new checkout when selecting Finance.  This has been added to explain that the item will be shipped to the billing address:
  
• Star Buys v2 - Star Buys styling on desktop browser improved:

• Star Buys v2 - Basket logic improved to address two scenarios:
  • Infinitely looped offers…

    Product 1 and Product 2 both have offers which apply to each other.  Previously both would have discounted one another, now only one is discounted.

  • Daisy-chained offers …
    It was the case whereby Product A > Product B > Product C > Product D > Product E all applied discounts. Even if they were the child item of another Star Buys promotion. Now, however, if an item is the child of a Star Buys and an applicable item is added, the promotion value won’t be applied, since the Star Buy loop is effectively closed.

• Delivery Message no longer hard-coded:
  "How do you want to receive your items?
  You can order for delivery to you or you can Click & Collect from us or a participating DPD Pick-up Store near you."
  
  The message will now change depending on the services available.

Cloud Merchant Tools Update

Cloud Merchant Tools development continues.   We are continuing to develop our own planned changes alongside working on feedback we are receiving from our group of test clients.

Here are a few things worked on for this release:

• Star Buys V2 - Descriptions are now limited to 60 characters.
  This is due to this being the maximum character count that Google Shopping allows for promotions.
• Star Buys V2 - Improved handling of Star Buys creation where 0 products are in the promotion result; 
• Facet Navigation set up improvements - URL and results preview added;  

• Now able to edit product primary colour, age and gender. These have been added to the filter options set up;
• Coupon Usage Report can now be exported to Excel:

• eBay product set up user improvements:
  
  

  • Product Name as the Placeholder for the eBay Title. 

  • A live display of the Description, either showing the eBay Description or the Product Description, if the former is blank.

• Coupons Settings page implemented:

• Filter panel added to the bottom of grids to show how the results are filtered. The clear filter button has been moved to sit alongside:
• Fix implemented to prevent tab title on the browser incorrectly saying the page was loading; 
• Short description added to the product edit page.
