-
Integration of User-Debtor data — Functionality has been added to allow Users of selected Role types to have their own Customer record. This can involve a subset of new customers when created in Pronto and sent to the web, automatically having a matching User record created, or inversely, when a new User registers on the website, having the Customer record automatically created and then integrated into Pronto wherein the matching Customer account is created.
Updates of the Customer details in Pronto can flow through to the User on the web via the Integrator and through the use of Customer / User field mapping. Likewise, changes to the User details on the website can flow through to the Customer record, again using field mappings, and then be updated in Pronto via the Integrator. This whole process allows for synchronization of data for users and their own unique customer record to be maintained between the website and Pronto.

-
New label option for Freight — A new option ("Free Delivery Label") has been added to the Freight Options widget, allowing the eCommerce Team to configure the label displayed when $0 charge is applied.

New widget for Consolidated Note Lines — A new widget has been created for the display of note lines in the order history screen. Previously, when note line consolidation was enabled (i.e. the same product on 2 order lines gets merged to 1 line), any user-entered notes against the products would display on a separate line and be slightly confusing to the viewer.
Now, the 'Consolidated Note Line Description' widget can be added to the Search Order Result Lines Info template, allowing the note lines to be rendered with their relevant product, complete with consistent website styling.

This enhancement makes that a thing of the past.
Open Graph (OG) protocol tags have now been added as standard to all BPD sites running version 4.11+, to assist with content when sharing pages to social platforms.
