Using composable modules helps businesses small and large increase revenue and reduce costs maintaining their cloud solutions.

- Two-factor authentication and 3DS support, a requirement in the EU
- Compatible with customer-provided payment provider

-
Faster, more-user friendly website to improve user navigation and overall site experience
Printable Barcodes

Featured benefits:
- Print barcodes for Lists and Vendor Managed Inventory - reducing errors and allowing for faster picking and packing
- Simplify stock tracking by adding barcodes in every stage of the process, from receiving to inventory management to order tracking
- One format of printable barcodes across all parts of your commerce operations reduces confusion and increases efficiency
Localization: Variant by Chosen Language
As you go global, we want to ensure external adoption of your e-commerce platform is as seamless as possible. To do this, in Q2, we are launching Localization: Variant by Chosen Language.
Here's what's included:
- Page variants are automatically selected based on the user’s chosen language, allowing global brands to create custom experiences for each market
- Improve customer understanding and trust of your brand by building content made for their native language
- Expand your reach by creating a more enjoyable shopping experience across markets
Mobile Flutter App Beta
Announced at Opticon in Q4 2023, our Mobile Flutter App makes it easier for you to reach 100% of your audience by deploying exceptional commerce experiences to your customers through their mobile device.
Here's what's included:
- Mobile app using Flutter code language to provide both out-of-the-box functionality and ability to customize your app based on unique business needs
- Mobile-first user-interface to improve navigation and drive efficiency on smaller device screens
- Out-of-the-box functionality includes barcode scanning, list management, save order, quick order, submit for quote, count inventory for VMI, show/hide inventory and pricing, product availability by warehouse, and more.
Mission Control (generally available for implementation partners)
Mission Control allows commerce customers to manage their own environment without assitance from Optimizely. By doing this, you save time-to-market for website updates and ease ongoing maintenance.
Featured capabilities:
- Self-service environment management to improve time-to-market for website updates
- Ability to deploy code, execute database backups and website restarts without interacting with Optimizely technical support
- Additionally, sync user files and database from production to sandbox
Customized Commerce Improvements
AI-generated product descriptions
As the application of generative AI grows, we want to bring our customers features that are proven to improve your day to day work experience. By using AI-generated product descriptions, you can rewrite key products descriptions to enhance SEO or differentiate from manufacturer-provided descriptions.
Featured capabilities:
- Easy-to-use text generation
- No third-party integrations
Optiimizely Graph for Commerce (Indexing for Product variants and categories)
Optimizely Graph turns your Optimizely Content Management System (CMS) content into a graph. Like how a search engine crawls the web to build a graph-based index of content, Optimizely Graph transforms your CMS content into a form you can query.
Featured capabilities:
Product variants and categories are now indexed in Optimizely Graph.
Customized Views for organizations and contacts
Customized views allows customers to build a workspace for their admin users to view customers and organizations. Further, they can filter and organize columns based on preference allowing users to rely on the Optimizely portal to view customer data rather than referencing a CRM.
Catalog Import/Export
This enhancement allows users to pull a CSV of products, make edits, and important that file seamlessly into Optimizely. By doing this, you increase product data accuracy and maitain high product data standards to increase customer engagement.
Understanding the Optimizely Commerce Product Roadmap
At Optimizely, we value clarity and transparency into what we're building and why. To do this, we publicly share a majority of our Commerce product roadmap. In the roadmap, we have categorized our work into three groups: Committed, Planned, and Considered. These definitions represent levels of assurance around what products we will deliver quarterly.
Committed items are features that we are devoted to delivering within the quarter. Planned items are features we're targeting to deliver in the quarter, but are less likely than Committed items. Considered items are features we have acknowledged and are considering but may not be worked on or delivered in the quarter.
This roadmap is dynamic, therefore, it is intended for informational purposes only. The roadmap is not binding and should not be relied upon in making any purchasing or development decisions. We reserve the right to revise this roadmap at any time without notice.
