Spryker Commerce OS

This section describes the new features released for Spryker Commerce OS.

Configurable Products feature

Spryker has recently extended the range of functionalities for Configurable Products. Customers can now save configurable products in their shopping list and wishlist, where they can also finalize or change the configuration of these products.

Configurable Products are useful for items with a range of customizable options. For example, when buying a t-shirt from your online store, customers can choose the size, material, and color or even add their name or logo to the product. If you are selling services, Configurable Products let customers select a preferred time and date for the delivery of that service.

Customers can access a standalone configurator page and choose from various available product options based on their preferences. Depending on the configuration choices, the product price is adjusted accordingly.

Configured Products can be saved, accessed, and configured again in carts or from the product details page. Customers can also easily reorder past purchases. Configurable Products can also be part of a Request For Quote (RFQ)—Spryker’s powerful Quotation and Management feature can overwrite all the automatically calculated prices from the Configurable Product tool.

Business benefit: Configurable Products maximize customer satisfaction through product personalization and by providing a robust customer self-service experience. This also adds value to your business by reducing the lead times Sales teams would previously have to dedicate to finalizing product configurations with customers.

Localization improvements improvement

Adapting your offerings to your customers’ needs and locales is crucial for providing a superior user experience and ultimately boosting conversion rates. To facilitate this, we’ve improved the number formatting for any locale. Based on their locale, your customers in the Storefront and your company users in the Back Office will be shown the number format they expect to see. Look at the following example with a product price:

LOCALE PRODUCT PRICE
de_DE 1.456,78
en_US 1,456.78

Number formatting in the Storefront

For an effortless shopping experience, the localized number formatting is available throughout the Storefront for any user locale. Whether it is a catalog, product details page, cart, checkout, or customer account, your customers and guests can now enjoy their known number format. This helps to avoid any confusion about pricing or quantities.

Spryker Glue API

We continue to add support for new Storefront APIs.

Update cart totals based on delivery method improvement

Spryker Glue API updates the total order price after a delivery method is selected or changed in the checkout flow.

It lets your customers always see the accurate price they must pay for the entire order. As a benefit, you can have fewer abandoned carts and improve your conversion rate.
