MAJOR NEW FEATURES
B2B COMMERCE: SCHEDULED/RECURRING ORDERS
Allows B2C or B2B sites to allow shoppers, when placing an order, to schedule the order for automatic
reordering, particularly useful for instances when the shopper frequently purchases the same products
on a regular basis. Allows the shopper to schedule flexible interval selections (e.g. weekly, monthly) and
suspend/resume scheduled orders as needed in their account.
Currently available only to orders placed with a deferred payment method (e.g. invoice) and is not fullblown subscription capabilities.
B2B COMMERCE: ROLES AT ACCOUNTS (ADMIN)
Assigns the ability for specific contact(s) on an account to self-administer the account, specifically to add
new contacts or modify existing ones, and create/modify billing and/or shipping addresses. “Buyer” role
is automatically assigned to all contacts. New “Adminstrator” role now supported.
B2B COMMERCE: DELEGATED ADMINSTRATION FOR ACCOUNTS (STOREFRONT)
Contacts with the role of “Administrator” can now perform more tasks, including creation and
modification of existing contacts and modification of existing addresses on the account. Enables
Accounts to self-manage certain aspects of their account, improving customer satisfaction and reduced
cost for the merchant.
INTEGRATION: ORDER MANAGEMENT CLOUD
This new integration using enables fulfillment of B2B and B2C orders created on Oracle Commerce
Cloud using Order Management Cloud. Includes returns and exchange processing, as well as real-time
view of order status updates from Order Management. The integration can be customized and extended
in a number of ways, including the ability to listen to the status of the order at a line or header level,
listen on any return events, or map configurable products to another attribute in Order Management or
use the capabilities of the existing Order Management and CPQ integration.
This is an Integration Cloud Services integration that is available to licensed customers of Oracle
Commerce Cloud, Order Management Cloud, and Integration Cloud Services.
SELECTIVE PUBLISHING
Commerce Cloud now supports selective publishing which allows merchants in the Admin to select a
subset of items for publishing to production. Multiple design changes can be selected and published
together. Required changes are aggregated and preselected for the next publishing event. Allows
multiple users working in different areas of the admin to safely select only some items and publish them
without pushing all changes by all users.
ADDITIONAL NEW FEATURES AND OTHER CHANGES

PLATFORM: CUSTOM UIS USING THE REST API
Makes it possible for merchants and partners to write their own browser-based UIs that leverage Oracle
Commerce Cloud APIs. Can now configure OCCS to return standard headers for one’s own domains.
CORS-allowed domains can now be configured for all REST APIs and specific domains can be added to
the allowed origins list.
EXPERIENCE AND DESIGN: CONFIGURABLE URL PATTERNS
Allows users to customize the URL patterns for product detail pages and collection pages via the Admin
UI. Allows increased flexibility in configuring product and collection page URLs according to a merchant’s
.

SEO Strategy. Merchants should pay close attention to tracking specifically configured URLs to avoid
creating duplicates.
EXPERIENCE AND DESIGN: VERTICAL TABS STACK
OCCS now supports the ability for users to place a vertical tab stack on any type of page layout. This
method allows a user to place one or more widgets in each section of the stack. Can be used to allow a
shopper to navigate between topics of content in a single view.
STOREFRONT: NEW CUSTOM KO BINDING -- CCRESIZEIMAGE
This enhancement makes it possible to automatically detect the viewport and fetch the most
appropriate image to use using the /images REST endpoint. This custom Knockout binding can be used
in a widget to create the URL that is sent to the /images endpoint, making it easier to utilize. This
method can be used to improve storefront performance, so images are properly sized or resized before
they are downloaded to the client browser. It can also be used to specify override dimensions for
specific viewports.
CATALOG AND PROMOTIONS: DYNAMIC SKU PROPERTIES
Provides merchants with the ability to create SKU properties at the base or custom product type level,
allowing for unique data per SKU, such as UPC. These SKU properties are available in the Storefront REST
API and JS as well as in the Order Webhook.
NOTE: These values do not currently appear and are inaccessible to the Agent Console and Assisted
Selling Application.
CATALOG AND PROMOTIONS: CLONE PROMOTIONS
Allows business users to clone an existing promotion and edit basic information, including start and end
dates, title, description, and priority to create a new promotion with less effort. Utilizing this method
allows merchants who rerun similar promotions to use existing promotions as a starting point when
creating a new one, reducing errors, testing and validation time, and speeding up initial creation. The
ability to clone promotions only applies to promotions in the Admin UI and does not include ones that
are in the PMDL.
CATALOG AND PROMOTIONS: ENHANCEMENT TO APPLYING DISCOUNTS FOR A PROMOTION
This new feature provides merchants with the ability to choose whether promotions are applied to
items in the cart using list price (default) or the lowest discounted price first. Allows business users to
control more precisely how Commerce Cloud applies discounts to items and provides more options to
select how to apply the discounts directly in the UI.
When the “lowest discounted price” option is selected, discounts will be applied on items eligible for
discounts by taking into account any sale prices or other adjustments (external prices, promotion
discounts, etc.), instead of applying these discounts in order based on the list price of the items.

ASSISTED SELLING APPLICATION: ENHANCED SHOPPER PROFILE
The Shopper profile page for registered shoppers has been enhanced to make it easier for store
associates to navigate to a shopper’s basic information, such as order history, address book, notes, and
other relevant information. Has also been enhanced for unregistered shoppers as well to make it easier
for store associates to find a customer, order, or create a new account.
ASSISTED SELLING APPLICATION: SUPPORT FOR GENERIC CARD PAYMENTS
Provides a generic payment gateway extension for supporting any credit card or gift card type, in
addition to the previously supported Chase and CyberSource payment gateways. Note that custom
properties on payment types are not currently supported.
SEARCH ADMIN: KEYWORD REDIRECTS
New Search Administration UI allows business users to create and manage keyword redirects without
needing to rely on IT. Business users can use this capability to provide non-product content results for
keyword searches (e.g. set up a keyword search for “returns” to redirect to your page on returns),
redirect searches for keywords to a special landing page (e.g. set up keyword searches for a particular
brand or holiday to redirect to a specially merchandised page), or redirect searches for keywords to a
manually curated Collection or Category page.
Use relative URLs to redirect shoppers to pages within the store and use absolute URLs to redirect
shoppers to external pages. Using relative URLs allows business users to preview and test keyword
redirects before publishing.
This feature was previously available via API only.
