Open Storefront Framework 3.0

This Commerce Open Storefront Framework (OSF) release includes major library updates, such as React 16 to 17, and therefore considered a major new release of OSF.

Continuing to stay up to date with the latest OSF upgrade is important.  As major upgrades may have potential backwards incompatibility impact, we are highlighting this release and the importance of testing.

    • This is an experimental tool that we encourage storefront developers to try and continue to recommend rollup for production build + deploy.

Store Extension Promotion APIs

In this Commerce release, we’ve added Admin APIs for promotions to the Store API set to allow them to be called securely at storefront scale.  Merchants can use the APIs to allow their Server-Side Extensions and integrations access to promotion data that you may not want exposed directly to the shopper.

Capability highlights

  • Secure, scalable access to promotions endpoints from storefront
  • Call using Application Keys
  • Added APIs previously only available as part of the Admin API to the Store API set to allow them to be called securely at storefront scale:

Admin

Improvements to Access Control for Registered Applications (API only)

This Commerce release introduces improvements to access control for registered external applications.

A registered application is an external application that is registered in the Settings > Web APIs > Registered Applications area of the Commerce Administration User Interface (Admin UI). Registering automatically generates an application ID identifying the application internally and an application key used to authenticate the application.   Once authenticated, a registered application can access Commerce functionality via REST APIs.

Capability highlights

  • You can use APIs to view and manage the set of roles assigned to a registered application.
  • You can restrict a registered application to accessing only specific endpoints (for a small, selected set of endpoints). 
  • Registered applications that are predefined and provided by Oracle are protected.  You cannot update or delete them.

Integrations

Integration with Oracle Unity

This Oracle Commerce update enables merchants to more accurately personalize shopper experiences based on the integration with Oracle Unity’s derived data elements.  You can now use enriched attributes from Unity’s multiple data sources that include not only extended profile attributes but a host of intelligent and behavioural attributes.   These attributes can be used to provide a personalized shopping experience to customers on their storefront.

Capability highlights

  • Ability to enable Unity Integration and enable Unity attribute selection
  • Enrich Commerce shopper profiles and accounts with Unity data. This data is persisted into regular profile and account properties and can be used anywhere that profiles and accounts are exposed.
  • Commerce to Unity synchronization: Incremental synchronization is automated for profiles.  
  • Unity to Commerce (using Customer360 API): User profile and account attributes are synchronized from Unity at the start of the shopper session and upon login.
  • Merchants can more accurately personalize shopper experiences including cold start personalization for shoppers not known to the merchant on the storefront but known to Unity.

Promotions

Limit Use of Promotions with Coupons

With this Commerce enhancement, you can now limit the number of times a shopper can receive a promotion.   This feature is designed to work with promotions granted by coupons and is for registered shoppers only,

Capability highlights

  • Allows users to restrict promotions that use coupons to registered shoppers only.
  • Allows users to specify if a promotion can be granted more than once.
  • Provides the ability to determine how many times a registered shopper can receive a promotion per grant.

Publishing

Publishing: Save Conflicts

This Oracle Commerce update provides improved collaboration for Commerce users in situations when other users’ actions can affect their work.  Our new Save Conflicts feature detects when multiple users in our Admin UI have been working on the same item and gives a warning to help users avoid conflicts.

Capability highlights

  • Gives the user information before they save and overwrite another user’s changes.
  • Prevents errors when multiple team members are working on the same items.
