Brand Store v2
Improvements
Configurable Unique ID for Flattened Store downloads
Store Admin Users can now choose which value populates the Unique ID column in Flattened Store download files, instead of being locked into the base entity's display name. Previously, if the display name was a Local String field, the exported Unique ID column returned the full raw JSON of all translations — unusable for most downstream systems.
A new Unique ID tab in Field Settings lets admins select, per base entity type, whether the column uses Display name (default), Display description, or any field flagged as unique for that entity type in Control Center. Making no selection preserves current behavior — existing stores keep using display name. When a Local String field is selected, the export now resolves it using the user's default language rather than raw JSON; the same resolution applies to the Related ID column when a flattened store is configured to share related data.
Note: Available for Flattened stores only, not Classic. If a previously selected unique field is later un-flagged in Control Center, the store shows a warning and falls back to Display name until reconfigured.
Who benefits: Store Admin Users of Flattened stores who need exported data keyed to a meaningful, unambiguous identifier for their downstream use case.
Brand Store label in the header is now clickable
Previously, returning to the Brand Store start page required opening the Global Menu ("More") and navigating from there — an extra step that didn't match the navigation pattern used elsewhere in the platform, such as Syndication Advanced, where the application title links directly back to the start page.
Clicking the "Brand Store" label in the page header now takes users straight to the Brand Store landing page, matching the navigation experience across the rest of the platform.
Who benefits: All Brand Store users, who get a quicker, more consistent way to return to the start page.
User import now supports First Name and Last Name
Store Admin Users can now include First Name and Last Name when importing users, so profile details don't need to be added manually afterward. Previously, user import only handled email.
Both fields are optional new columns in the updated download template, and existing import files without them continue to work unchanged.
Who benefits: Store Admin Users managing bulk user onboarding, who can now set up complete profiles in a single import step.
Filter Fields now supports pagination
Store Admin Users can now paginate the Filter Fields section in Store Configuration > Data, matching the behavior already available for Searchable and Multi-Search Fields. Previously, Filter Fields displayed all entries in a single scrolling list, which became unwieldy for stores with many filter fields.
Who benefits: Store Admin Users configuring stores with large numbers of filter fields.
Search placeholder and filter dropdown text color are now configurable
Store Admin Users can now set the text color for the "Search for Products..." placeholder and the sort/filter dropdown label (e.g., "Name A-Z") in the storefront search component. Previously, this color was fixed and couldn't be adjusted, which caused visibility issues on some background images or themes — white text, for example, could blend in and become hard to read.
The color is configured through Brand Store styling/theme settings, so admins can update it without requiring code changes, and can choose a value that meets contrast and accessibility standards for their store's design.
Who benefits: Store Admin Users configuring storefront branding, who can now keep key search UI text legible against any background.
Bugs
| # | Area | Fix |
| 1 | Performance | Large stores with high SKU and entity counts could experience slow page loads and unresponsive filters. Store search now uses an additional caching mechanism, and the underlying search logic has been refactored to improve overall performance. Further enhancements will be provided in future release. |
| 2 | Download | When two selected fields with the same Display Name existed across different entity types, the corresponding column came back empty in the download file. Field deduping and ordering in the export logic has been fixed so data now populates correctly for both fields, even when Display Names are duplicated. |
| 3 | Download | For entities with no value in the field used for asset naming, the downloaded file name showed a literal placeholder with a stray leading underscore (e.g., "_[ItemGTIN]") instead of falling back to the Field ID. File and folder name concatenation has been fixed so empty values now fall back cleanly to the Field ID. |
