Enhancements
-
User management - Changed Product Admin role in the Admin Console to automatically update user access to the Commerce Admin.
-
Added the ability to upload and retrieve negotiable quote attachments as well as files and images associated with customers and customer addresses to Amazon S3 using presigned URLs in GraphQL and REST. With REST, you can also upload category images.
-
Added the
POST /V1/customersandPUT /V1/customers/{customerId}endpoints to the REST API to create and update customers. These endpoints require admin authorization. -
Added the
exchangeOtpForCustomerTokenmutation, which requires a shopper’s email address and one-time password (OTP), and receives a customer token in exchange. This mutation is typically used in scenarios where a customer needs to authenticate using an OTP sent to their email or phone. -
If an address defined in the Store Email Addresses configuration screen in the Admin contains a value that ends with
example.com, Commerce does not send emails to this address. Instead, the system logs that the email was not sent.
Custom order attributes
- Admin users can now view and edit custom order attributes directly from the Order View, Edit, and Create screens in the Admin panel. This enhancement improves the management of custom order data created via GraphQL.
