v4.2.0

March 3, 2021

Supported
Supported

Adobe Commerce versions 2.4.1 and newer

If you have a previous Amazon sales channel version installed and attempt to update your Adobe Commerce to version 2.4.0, you are prompted to update the extension before you can complete the Adobe Commerce update.

Known issue When Amazon sales channel 4.2.0 is integrated with version 2.4.0 and Inventory Management is enabled, there is a known issue that prevents the addition of products in your Commerce catalog. This issue will be addressed in a future Commerce release.

New Amazon sales channel has been enhanced to accept text-based address data and match it to standardized address formats, including city, state, and zip code. This update enables order and shipping data to synchronize (sync) with Amazon without address errors.
For example, a shopper inputs the city, state, zip code as Escondido, californiA 92025-1501. Amazon Sales Channel imports and matches the data to the standard format as Escondido, CA 92025, and then syncs it back to Amazon in this standardized format.

New Added support for PHP 7.4.

New Added support for Adobe Commerce 2.4.x. Previous versions may be compatible with Commerce 2.4.x, but are not supported. See Upcoming releases for version compatibility. Amazon Sales Channel must be updated to 4.2.0 before the Adobe Commerce 2.4.0 update can be completed.

Fix Corrected an issue that caused an Access Denied error for UK customers.

Fix Corrected an issue that prevented the Amazon shipping status from syncing to the corresponding Commerce order, thus “locking” the order’s shipping status as Pending in Commerce and Unshipped in Amazon. With the new standardized address feature, these shipping status errors have been resolved.

Fix Updated order synchronization (sync) to ignore failed order imports, thus reducing multiple sync attempts and allowing subsequent imports to process, with order sync requests submitted every five minutes. Sync errors are still recorded in the error log, but marked as “processed” to allow further logging functions. Also, Amazon sales channel now automatically removes excess data collected for orders that fail to create in Commerce.

Fix Updated error logging to collect more information for uncaught exception and extension update errors.

Fix Corrected an issue that caused the initial sync of the lowest price data to fail due to a missing price value.

Fix Corrected issues that caused filtering errors in the Amazon orders view when the date range field is left blank.

Fix Corrected an issue that caused quantity-related stock and fulfillment sync errors. The extension now rounds down quantity values entered as a decimal before syncing with Amazon.
For example, when a merchant manually inputs a quantity of 2.5, the extension rounds down the value to 2 and then syncs the updated quantity with Amazon.
