Auctiva Commerce Upgrades and Updates
I am pleased to announce that Auctiva Commerce has been updated to include the following features and bug fixes:
Addition of Condition attribute to Google Base Feeds – Store Admin
In anticipation of Google’s June 30th requirement to include the Condition attribute in all Google Base feeds we have modified Auctiva Commerce to include this feature. All feeds generated from today forward will contain the Condition attribute. We have added the Condition attribute to the Product Details page of your store admin so that you may set the appropriate Condition per product. Per Google the valid values are New, Used and Refurbished.
Important Note: We have defaulted all products to New – if your products are not New you will need to set each product to the appropriate value.
Finally, since the Condition attribute will be required by Google on June 30th, you need to regenerate and resubmit a Google Base feed to ensure that Google has an accurate view of your products. When you regenerate your feed SET THE OVERWRITE EXISTING FEED FILE OPTION TO YES within the Auctiva Commerce Google Base feed page. This will ensure that your Google Base feed is updated with the new attribute.
An Auctiva Commerce Help Doc that describes how to submit a feed to Google Base can be found
Here.
Shipping Calculator Fix – Public StoreFront
In a previous release a defect was introduced that prevented the Shipping Estimator from showing up when a product was added to the Shopping Cart from the Product Detail page. This has been corrected – now immediately after adding an item to the Shopping Cart from the Product Detail page the Shipping Estimator will appear on the right rail of your storefront.
SiteMap Creation Fix – Store Admin
In Internet Explorer an error message was being thrown when users attempted to use the Create and Submit Sitemap function on the Meta Data and Google Integration page. This has been corrected.
These fixes have been deployed live and where applicable Help and/or FAQ documentation has been updated on the
Auctiva Commerce Help Site.
