News

  • :red_apple: We’re introducing a new feature: Projects now have the option to enable Product authorization.
    • In this mode, newly imported products are automatically hidden and placed in a pending approval queue.
    • Products awaiting approval can be viewed on a new tab on the Products page, where you can either approve or reject them.

  • :check_box_with_check: Approved products will be made visible, while rejected products will remain hidden.
  • You can enable Product authorization on the Project Settings page.

  • When this mode is enabled, a new block will appear on the project overview page, showing the status of pending, approved, and rejected products.

  • :green_apple: We have updated the converters to Shopify CSV formats.
    • Values in the Handle element are now converted in a way that ensures they can be safely used as a slug.
      • This includes removing diacritics (e.g., Δ› β†’ e), converting to lowercase, replacing all invalid characters (spaces, punctuation) with hyphens, etc.
    • Fixed the default value for the Variant Inventory Tracker element – it is now shopify instead of Shopify.
    • The default value for Variant Requires Shipping is now true.
  • :man_mage: In the new project creation wizard, the input format selected by the user is now automatically pre-filled as the output format as well (you can still choose a different output format if needed). This had not been working for some time.
  • :star: In Automations (formerly Macros), you can now create almost all types of rules using actions.
  • :calc: In the form for Calculation-type rules, we have added validation for the entered expression. If the expression contains an error (e.g., missing % in an element name, or attempting to calculate with text), the user will see a warning.
  • :hammer: Fixed a bug that could occur if a user changed the type of an existing rule to Hide Product. In such cases, saving changes could fail.
  • :reorder: On the Rules page, sorting rules could behave incorrectly if the user tried to sort them right after deleting a rule. This has now been fixed.
  • We also fixed an issue on the User History page, where for some history record types, the link to the relevant app’s detail page in the Mergado Store was not generated correctly.
  • And many other small fixes and improvements.

You may experience minor outages in Mergado during the release window. Thank you for your understanding and patience while we deploy the new version.
