MCM Release Notes - Sept. 18, 2023

We've restructured our image storage for products to significantly boost product performance. With this change, image uploads no longer require a primary and secondary image property. Instead, users can seamlessly add images to an upload by mapping all images to the image property. Product exports will also reflect this name change.

: Product augmentation enables sellers to quickly add products to new sales channels by enhancing product details based on previous listings of those products. For merchants seeking more granular control over their product data, you can now request to disable product augmentation.

: We've refined our process for products with UPC exemption. Now, when a product lacks a UPC and is UPC exempt, it is considered "ready to publish" instead of remaining in an incomplete state. This change simplifies your product management, ensuring that missing UPCs no longer hinder your progress.

: We've invested in improving the internal endpoints for product creation and saving. These updates result in significantly faster upload times and eliminate the timeouts that some users experienced during product uploads.

You can now add an existing SKU to a variation group. This is particularly useful when SKUs are separated on the first time import of your product catalog. Open the variation group you wish to add SKUs to, and click the Link existing option. Add the desired SKUs and their properties will be retained once added to the variation group.
