Overview

Release 140 had a little bit of everything with improvements to our Klaviyo integration, margin controls, better CSS targeting, and app performance topping the list. We also managed to squash a bug where some users were getting multiple new lead email notifications.

Margin Controls

We rolled out some changes to the style guide that allow you to adjust margins on headings and text. This should give users greater control over how their site looks.

Targeting Sections and Boxes with Custom Code

We rolled out a number of changes to enable targeting of specific boxes or section with custom code. This will be particularly helpful for any of our users who want to use custom CSS or custom JavaScript.

App Performance

We also rolled out a change in the way that the Unstack app loads our JavaScript packages. This should make it much snappier when loading in the browser

Fixed issue with multiple lead notification emails!

A number of customers were reporting multiple notifications were being sent when forms were filled out. This was a persistent issue over a couple of weeks so if you're reading this and you see the issue again please let us know!

Overview

An exciting release! For our Shopify users we have added support for using Shopify's "liquid" header and footer with the pages you create in Unstack. At the moment this isn't yet enabled for all stores, but will be in the coming weeks once we're able to test it with some of our partners.

Shopify header, footer, and cart

As mentioned above, this feature isn't yet enabled for all stores as it's in need of some additional testing with our partners before we push it live for everyone.

That said, once it's live you'll be able to use your existing header, footer, and your cart (including upsell options!) with the pages you create with Unstack.

Complete List of Resolved Items

  • Added support for liquid footer.

Overview

This was our biggest release in several weeks with many things being shipped for the start of Q2!

Improved Embedded app Start Screen

Previously, when a user first adds the Unstack App to their Shopify account they were taken a very minimalistic channel settings page that, at it's core, served as a way for users to open Unstack.

That said, we realized this page could be much more which led to the below changes; specifically the ability to access both your page templates and branding options from this page.

Our hope is here that these changes should help our users make more progress on their goals, with fewer clicks.

Product research pop up

As part of our ongoing efforts to understand the reasons our users sign up for Unstack in the first place, we have added a popup question that appears when you first install the Shopify app

Pop-up Question

Capitalization and letter-spacing

If you're a user who likes the text of their headers or buttons to always be capitalized, lowercase, or mixed case you are in luck! With this release we shipped changes to the Style Guide which allows you to make those changes at the account level.

Product Collection Component Changes

Using component properties, we added several layout options to the "Product Collection" component. Specifically the ability

DDC Import & Export

Data Driven Content, or DDC is a beta feature that we're very proud of. However, as a beta feature there is a lot of work that still needs to get done. The release of the import & export feature is one of those things that has been in the works for some time and is a huge milestone for this tool.

Look for more on DDC soon!

Complete List of Resolved Items

  • Pushed a number of improvements to the start screen of the embedded app.
  • Added text transform options to typography options in Style Guide.

  • Added number of columns option to Product Collection component.
  • Added vertical align option to box settings.
  • Added DDC Import/Export tooling.
  • Fixed a bug with the FAQ component where it wouldn't expand properly.
  • Fixed an alignment issue in the Quotes/Reviews component.
  • Fixed a bug with the Quotes/Reviews component when used in a carousel.

Minor Removed the store owner role from Commerce Manager. A store owner was a permanent seller admin in each store. You can now remove or change the role of former store owners. Functional and feature access for former store owners have not changed.

Overview

For this release, we continued to work through changes to the component system which will allow us to further improve functionality. More on this soon! We also pushed a number of bug fixes.

Complete List of Released Items

Overview

We shipped some pretty significant changes to the component system that will enable future functionality. More on that soon! We also fixed one bug.

Complete List of Released Items

  • Component system improvements
  • Fixed an issue where the landing page editor would sometimes crash when removing a product from a section

Overview

A small release with a handful of bug fixes and tweaks. Several new features in the works including Component Properties which is a set of changes to the section/component experience which will help to reduce redundancies with our current component experience. More on this when it's released in the coming weeks.

Recategorized Components

We spent some time reorganizing renaming components to make it easier to find what you are looking for in the component selector. We also added thumbnails for some of the components that didn’t have them. There is more work to come on this to make it even better, but it’s already easier to find some things.

Reordering and Renaming Components

Template Updates

We rolled out an update to allow our backend teams to more-easily launch the templates that they've been working on. This includes changes to way we generate screenshots of these templates as well as the way that we add them to accounts.

View all of our templates!

Templates

Complete List of Resolved Items

  • Rolled out a change to the way our components are categorized to make it easier to navigate.
  • Added support for keyboard handling to dropdowns when setting conditions.
  • Fixed a bug where the image of a variant wasn't updating when the variant was selected.

  • Fixed a bug with the image callouts component where the first icon in the section would be misaligned vertically.
  • Fixed a bug where the dynamic content would sometimes handle the "or" operator (the pipe character "|") incorrectly.
  • Fixed a bug where some users would get a 500 error when "choosing a product".

Major You can now integrate Elastic Path Commerce Cloud with your other company systems using message queuing services that support the Message Simple Text Orientated Messaging Protocol (STOMP), for example, Amazon MQ. See Integrations.

Minor Added cancelled state to the order status. You can now update the status of an unfulfilled order to cancelled. For more information, see the Cancel an Order by ID section.

Overview

A tiny release with a few fixes and tweaks.

Polish on product list items

We squared up the product and collection thumbnails to better accommodate stores that aren’t using portrait images ( landscape or square).

We also improved the hover effects and made some other subtle style tweaks. This impacts the product selection drawers and the index pages for products and collections.

Product List Items

Dark and light text toggle on boxes

Boxes now support their own light and dark background settings for text. Previously you could only set this setting on the section. Now you can do it on individual boxes.

Both sections and individual boxes have this setting. If it’s not set on a specific box, the box will inherit the setting from the section.

Darka and Light Text Toggle

Complete List of Resolved Items

  • Pushed a several QoL updates for the list of products shown when selecting a product.
  • Added dark/light text toggle to boxes.
  • Pushed backend changes for how components handle properties.
  • Adjusted the spacing of action links when used as the CTA in a section.

Bug Fix Commerce Manager: Fixed a bug where an image uploader breaks when user attempts to type in a URL.

Minor Commerce Manager: Added cart expiration in settings.

Overview

A smaller release, but we shipped a few features and tweaks in addition to a number of bug fixes. Tons of work on some new features and editor improvements that will both land in a future release.

Intro video for the page editor

As part of our work to improve the onboarding experience, a popup intro video for the editor will appear the first five times you enter the editor. You can also dismiss the tip permanently if you choose to.

Introductory Video

Product images for all media

There’s a new folder in the media manager for Products where images that are imported from Shopify products will appear. This will make it easier to use product images in any Studio component.

Product Images

Domain settings for Shopify

We cleaned up the domain settings for Shopify customers using the App Proxy functionality to load CX-Studio pages on their Shopify domain. When you’re using App Proxy it now shows “Point to Shopify” and you aren’t able to change it (we will probably enable people to change this in the future).

domain.png

Form Width

In this release, we rolled out changes so that you can set a custom width for a form. All forms will use the style guide setting by default, but you can now set a custom width:

  1. In the admin portal, under Forms, open the form you want to change

  2. Click on the Settings tab

  3. Under Max Width, select Custom...

  4. Enter a number and save!

    Form Width

Text-align Right

You can now align text to the right! This is something we probably should have done a long time ago, but we’re only now getting to it along with a number of other editor improvements.

Rigt-alignment of Text

Complete List of Resolved Items

  • Added intro video for the editor.
  • Added deep-links. Among other things, this allows us to provide one URL that all users can use to access a specific part of their account. For example, https://app.CX-Studio.com/goto/landing-pages will now take you to the landing pages section in your account.
  • Adjusted media policy to allow product images to be used any place where media can be used.
  • Updated the Studio UI to account for Shopify plans which use the proxy by default.
  • Fixed a mobile-specific issue where text would overlap in the product component.
  • Pushed a change to allow users to be able to set a max-width for their forms.
  • Added support for text-align right.
  • Fixed an issue with our HubSpot integration which prevented users from being able to add their HubSpot forms to a page.
  • Fixed an issue where white backgrounds were mixing button styles when a dark background was used.

Overview

Another large release shipping a few key features and a ton of small fixes.

Shopify Free Plan

We’re now putting all new Shopify accounts on a free plan. This is a temporary change until we introduce multiple Shopify plans in Q2 of 2022.

Collapsing Product Descriptions

Stores often pack product descriptions with content that’s valuable for SEO. When rendered inside of our product component that text spills down the page creating an odd unbalanced view.

In this release, we rolled out a change that hides the text behind a “Read more” link if it is longer than 5 lines.

Read More LInk

Resize-only for media

We’ve had a number of issues with image optimization being too aggressive so we’ve changed the default when adding media to Resize only.

Media Resizing

Deleting users & accounts

We added functionality for our internal teams to be able to permanently delete users and accounts from our database. In the past we haven't had a good way of handling this and previous requests took longer to resolve than we'd like.

JSX Rendering Backend

We shipped the next phase of the prep work needed to support Component Properties. When we rolled out refactor NoML to be more like JSX we added a translation layer to translate from the new syntax into the old. This allowed us to use to avoid rewriting the rendering layer. In this release we rewrote the rendering layer so it’s no longer using the old syntax.

Complete List of Resolved Items

  • Launched the free plan for Shopify.
  • Fixed an issue where templates with product collection components (but no product components) were asking for a product.
  • Fixed an issue where customers synced from Shopify has their locations malformed during the sync.
  • Rolled out an improvement for collapsing product descriptions when they are more than five lines long.
  • Fixed an issue where the "Add to Bag" button was missing from the editor.
  • Fixed another issue where the order of products in a collection component was different when viewing the component in the page builder compared to when the same component was viewed on a rendered (live) page.
  • Pushed improvements to our JSX rending backend.
  • Changed the default image optimization setting to "Resize Only".
  • Fixed an issue where some page settings would be auto-populated if using a page template.
  • Fixed an issue with landing page headers inheriting the wrong styles when rendering over a dark background.
  • Removed DDC option from nav menu on Free, Lite, Full, and Full+ plans.
  • Fixed an issue with DDC pages where they used the slug placeholder of "%" as value of both the canonical and OG:URL, URLs.
  • Removed contact.type & contact.persona from conditional content UI as neither are used.
  • Created a tool for our Support team to be able to delete users & accounts from the database.
  • Fixed an issue with the Pricing/Features section being cutoff when too many cards are added.
  • Fixed a bug that occurred when a date was removed from the settings of a blog article.
  • Fixed an issue where users weren't able to save a page when missing a required field.
  • Fixed an issue with an image in the "new lead" email notifications.

Minor Commerce Manager: You can now select usage limit type and maximum uses when bulk generating promotion codes.

Minor Commerce Manager: Improved authentication error message for invalid credentials.

Minor Commerce Manager: Updated the warning message that appears when you try to update an attribute after deleting the template associated with the attribute.

Minor Commerce Manager: You can now paginate through inventory management log.

Overview

Another monster release for the engineering team packed with features, tweaks, and bug fixes! This work was delayed for a few weeks while we tested the new JSX syntax for NoML. As a consequence more issues were rolled into this release because it includes work from the past three weeks.

Showing a variant featured image

Shopify allows users to associate a single image with each variant. In this release, we added functionality to the product component that selects the variant image when the appropriate options are selected. This will zip to an image of the shirt in red when the red color is selected.

Banner Components

A reoccurring feature request, we implemented a basic banner component. That might sound kind of silly, but to date, we didn’t have a good way to build a component that had smaller buttons and padding. It’s now trivial to add a banner to any page.

Banner

JSX-Style Components

We’ve reworked the syntax of NoML to align with React’s JSX syntax. This is one of the things we needed to push out to make it easier for us to iterate on components, allows us to render dynamic changes within the section editor, and is a syntax that is familiar to a lot of developers.

NoML Syntax

Custom Code with Text Component

This behaves a lot like the Media component, but instead of an image you can add custom code. This will make it much easier to add custom embeds (for example a map) with text on the left or right.

Custom Code with Text Component]

Complete List of Resolved Items

  • Pushed several polish-updates for Conditional Content.
  • Added support for variant-specific featured images. Now when a variant is specified, the images used in the product component should pull from that variant.
  • New component: "Banner"
  • New component: "Custom Code/Text"
  • Pushed a change to the timing of account creation from Shopify.
  • Updated the language used in Shopify when setting a product as "Available" in Unstack. Previously this said "Manage Availability" - now it reads "Available to Unstack Page Builder".
  • Removed an upgrade prompt in app that isn't relevant to Shopify users.
  • Fixed the appearance of collection thumbnails when a collection had less that four products.
  • Removed an option to "Disconnect" Unstack from Shopify from the Unstack Admin.
  • Rolled out a series of improvements to improve the appearance of template thumbnails.
  • Fixed an issue where price, product options and other product info wouldn't load in the editor.
  • Fixed an issue where a backend job would sometimes break the connection between an Unstack account and the corresponding Shopify account.
  • Fixed a permissions issue some users ran into when creating a landing page from a template.
  • Fixed an issue with the product gallery arrows that would sometimes result in the arrows not being vertically aligned.
  • Fixed an issue where multiple versions of the same product could be added to a single collection component.
  • Fixed an issue where the order of products in a collection component was different when viewing the component in the page builder compared to when the same component was viewed on a rendered (live) page.
  • Fixed an issue where products deleted in Shopify would still show up in Unstack.
  • Exposed a public, read-only API for our global page templates.
  • Pushed a number of improvements to our usage of webhooks.
  • Pushed an update to allow website and landing page templates to be use interchangeably
  • Pushed an update to speed up the component-saving process.
  • Fixed an issue with landing pages where there would sometimes be extra padding at the top of the page.
  • Fixed an issue where some users weren't able to publish a page.

  • Fixed an issue with delivery times of lead notification emails.
  • Fixed an issue where a landing page header would sometimes disappear.
  • "Contacts" renamed to "Customers" in the app and emails.

Overview

Following the end of the holiday season we shipped a number of quality of life improvements for components and a handful of other changes.

Better reviews ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our reviews component has been revamped to include better layout support as well as properties for toggling stars, avatars, and taglines.

Animated logos & more!

Our standard logos component has been updated with support for animated scrolling! We also added support for grayscale, black & white, or reversed filtering.

Content subscriptions are no more

While this is a valuable feature for people who want to require a subscription in order to access content, Stripe deprecated their payment forms entirely and is now telling users to use payment links to achieve the same functionality. We were faced with updating our code to use payment links instead of forms (which was costly) or phasing out the feature. As this is not a widely used feature we chose the latter.

Meta description is now optional!

Previously we required that users add a meta description to their page before we let them publish that page. This is no longer the case. While it can be important for SEO, people often bypass this requirement with dummy content. This is actually worse for SEO. And if you don’t need to worry about SEO for your use case it makes no sense to require it. Given this, we decided the best thing was just to make it an optional field.

Complete List of Resolved Items

Product Component

  • Tweak - Adjusted the "Product/Custom Text" section so that the images would be properly optimized.
  • Tweak - Adjusted the "Select a product" drawer so that the products would appear the same size regardless of how long the product name was.

Product Collections

  • Bug - Fixed an issue where small alt images would overlay on the bigger primary images.

Other Components

  • Feature - Improved reviews component

Editor Improvements

  • Tweak - Updated the page editor to no longer require a meta description when publishing a page.
  • Bug - Fixed an issue where creating a new page from a template would sometimes lead to no header being set on the rendered page, regardless of what was defined in the page settings.

Official Integrations

  • Tweak - Stripe deprecation. Removed from list of integrations, removed option from gated content, settings, and " Payments" option removed from Unstack admin.

Overview

We had a monster release with a number of small, but significant features added to the product and a ton of bug fixes.

Better product collection component

We just rolled out a new version of the product collection component. Not only does it look amazing compared to the old version it also allows you to automatically crop collection photos to a Portrait, Landscape, or Square aspect ratio.

Product Collection Component

Hello strike-through!

A reoccurring feature request, we finally had a chance to add a strikethrough button to the rich text editor. The needs of eCommerce customers made this a low-effort high-reward feature addition. Now customers can use strike-through to show price comparisons.

Strikethrough

Better organization of templates

We now have more control over how templates are organized on the choose a template screen. New categories exist for Products, Collections, Lead Capture, and Other pages.

New eCommerce templates

Also new as of last week, we’ve added two additional landing page templates. Our first collection page template and a template that helps to demo our personalization features.

Much more to come on this front.

Personalized Demo

Collection Page Templates

Better sync for product changes from Shopify

This won’t be fully realized until future releases, but we shipped the first work that will enable us to sync product changes on the fly from Shopify. Sync will soon occur whenever a change is made to a product and you won’t need to start the sync job manually any more.

Complete List of Resolved Items

  • Added support for strike-through through our rich text editor.
  • Added support for syncing product changes more frequently via webhooks.
  • Adjusted the account-creation flow so that new landing pages aren't automatically created when a Shopify user signs up.
  • Fixed a bug where Shopify accounts were missing our HubSpot and Salesforce integrations.

  • Fixed an issue where field values collected during a form submission wouldn't be saved to a contact.

  • Pushed a number of other backend (DevOps-specific) fixes as well.
  • Pushed several updates to backend jobs and automatic processes for our sales/marketing teams.

Overview

Launch of Conditional Content! We updated the new page flow to better support product pages. We also shipped a ton of bug fixes in this release and disabled Semrush.

Conditional Content for Personalization

Rounding out Conditional Content we’ve extended the functionality to support contact properties and behavior (in addition to the previous work for DDC).

This work makes it possible to support a bunch of additional use cases that are especially important to eCommerce customers who want to build personalized content for users. For instance, it’s now possible to show different content on a page for repeat visitors.

Conditional Content

Updates to product selection flow

We’ve streamlined the process of adding a product to a page template by building it into the landing page flow. Previously, you would be dumped straight into the editor after selecting a product page template. Now you’ll be asked to select a product. As we continue to invest in improving our onboarding experience for Shopify customers you’ll see us ship more features like this.

Product Selection

So long, Semrush!

Our Semrush integration stopped working recently. As we were evaluating the work required to get it working again we decided to disable the integration for now because it is not used that much in the eCommerce space.

We may re-enable this in the future if there is the right kind of demand, but for now, so long, Semrush.

Complete List of Resolved Items

  • Pushed the final frontend changes for conditional content.
  • Adjusted the behavior of the app when adding a product to a landing page.
