OVERVIEW:
This release includes updates from eCommerce version 6.315.0.
ENHANCEMENTS:
Automatically Convert Images to WebP Format on Upload
You can now automatically convert the JPG and PNG images to WebP at the time of upload.
We have introduced the following new Product Image Settings on the Image Settings page (Settings & tools > Image Settings):
- Convert product images from JPEG to WEBP
- Convert product images from PNG to WEBP
To learn more about image settings, see Image Settings.
Further Support for WebP Image Format
WebP Image is now supported across other parts of the Neto application including the following:
- You can upload WebP images against the Ad Campaigns; for example, Homepage banners. WebP is also available as the Convert to menu option, enabling you to convert other formats to WebP and WebP to other formats.
- Ability to upload WebP images against Content pages; for example, Category, Web Pages, Blogs, and Contact Forms.
- Ability to upload WebP images to Customer logos in the Control Panel.
Updated Customer Import Process Flow and Templates
The Customer import flow and templates have been updated so that Username is no longer a required attribute. It is now consistent across the platform, wherein, you can use email addresses as the unique IDs and don’t require usernames for the customers.
Note: This functionality request is currently the most popular item on the Idea Portal and we are delighted to make it happen.
Optimised Inventory Update Process
The inventory update process after order creation has been optimised to avoid running long queries when the account inventory does not require kit quantity update.
Customer Address Books Available Through API
You can now retrieve the Customer Address Books using the newly updated GetCustomer API.
Ability to Specify a Street Address in GetShippingQuote API
The GetShippingQuote API has been updated and two new fields have been added to specify the Street Address (ShipStreetLine1, ShipStreetLine2) when calling the endpoint. This can be useful, for instance, to detect PO boxes.
Payment and Checkout Improvements
- Improved handling of rare timeout errors, where the status of an eWay payment cannot be validated at the time of order creation. In such instances, the order will be marked as unpaid with a "payment rejected" and high fraud score to prompt the user to check the payment status manually.
- Improved handling of Stripe errors on checkout including "Invalid value for stripe.confirmPayment(): elements" errors.
- Improved handling of rare checkout errors related to non-applicable/expired/exhausted vouchers.
eBay Version Upgrade
The eBay integration has been updated to remove the following unnecessary and decommissioned fields:
- DeletedFromUnsoldList
- DeletedFromSoldList
Updated Location List for Couriers Please
The location list has been updated for Couriers Please integration to reflect the latest changes.
BUG FIXES:
- Fixed an issue where in some instances, the Send Pending Orders button, which is used to trigger the Pending Drop Ship Order Notifications email manually, was returning a software error. The scheduled process, however, was unaffected.
- Fixed an issue where in some specific instances, the credit card payment method icons were not displayed in the eWay Secure Panel configuration page.
- Fixed an issue where in some instances, the Search Template field of the Content item was not getting updated when using the SearchResultsTemplate field of the UpdateContent API endpoint.
