New Integrations:
  • Salesforce
    - Our native salesforce integration syncs orders, products, customers and custom fields. Available for Enterprise level customers only.
  • Nuvei
    - New payments partner with highly competitive credit card processing rates exclusively for Storefront customers. Even further integration with Nuvei coming soon.
  • Apple Pay
    - Apple Pay is now available directly from PayPal. Navigate to Settings > Payments > Payment Methods to add Apple Pay and select PayPal as your provider.
  • RentyMy
    - We now support customer Single Sign On for brands using RentMy, a product rental service that's recently built their own integration to Storefront.
New Features:
  • Customer Order Approvals
    - Customers now have the ability to approve or reject line items in an order and provide a rejection reason resulting in a changed order status. A new theme page for Order Approvals is also now available as a My Account page type.
  • New Time Based Reward Points
    - New rule engine actions to add reward points to a customer based on custom fields using calendar dates. This can be used to give monthly reward points for budgets, anniversaries, birthdays and more.
  • Company Reward Points
    - You can now allow a "company" customer record to have reward points that its employees can use. Think of this as a shared reward point pool that any employee can pull from. Enable company rewards in Settings > People > General > Other
  • Net Payment Terms
    - We now introduce Net Terms to be dictated per customer under Customer Edit > Payments & Taxes.
  • Customer Credit Limits
    - We now allow you to assign a credit limit to a customer which will restrict the customer from checking out with any payment method that results in a balance exceeding their limit. Ideal for brands that accept purchase orders as payments.
  • Time Based QTY Limits
    - If you want to limit a customer type to only be allowed to order X qty of a product every Y months, you can now set these thresholds in the product editor.
  • Refund All
    - Allow all products in a return to be bulk selected making it easier to refund all items at once. Also, we added an order status selector to allow you to dictate the status after a processing a return.
  • Partial Refunds for Fees
    - Now you can edit the refund amount for override fields such as Shipping, Handling Fees, Tax and Additional Fees. These fees are now in the refund summary area giving the admin more flexibility per line item on how much of each fee to refund.
  • Restrict Customer File Uploads
    - Under Settings > People you can now limit the file size and pixel size of images and files that customers could upload for things like product review photos and documents.
  • Bulk Customer Password Reset
    - Now you can navigate to More Actions in the customer list area of the admin and bulk reset passwords and send a dedicated email template to those customers prompting them to create a new one.
  • Balance Statements
    - We now allow employees, or customers that are tied to a Company using Company Associations, the ability to pay off their company's balance statement.
Integration Updates:
  • Afterpay - Updated integration to include more accurate order information displayed to customers in various areas of the theme.
  • Shipper HQ - We now send enough data for address validation in Shipper HQ and we've also added additional attributes "must ship freight", "ship separately", HS codes and freight class.

  • Smarty Streets - We now display a warning to the shopper when validating a line item on the address is unsuccessful.

  • USPS - We now support USPS Ground Advantage on rate calculation and Shipping Labels. First Class Package service is now deprecated.
  • UPS - We've modified our integration with UPS and UPS Freight to use their REST API replacing legacy methods being sunset by UPS.
  • Sharethis - Due to the sunsetting of AddThis social sharing, we've replaced this area in our theme system with Sharethis. If you were a user of AddThis, navigate to your global theme settings to make appropriate changes.
