How to keep some Product Attributes set during Product import

Hello!I have stumbled upon the fact that a Product Import will remove any values that are not included in the product definitions.For context, we are running a Product Draft import via import containers. All product data comes from various external systems. Recently we added a product attribute that needs to be handled via direct product import in the Merchant Center by the business users. As mentioned in the docs, this attribute is reset with every Product import that runs via the containers, because this particular value is not provided during that process.I am thinking of fetching these values ahead of the nightly product import, then including them in the draft definitions but my gut says there must be a better way, it’s just that I can’t think of any at the moment.Has anyone had this case before? How did you solved it?Best regards,Alex

Modelling modifiers/addons of products

Hey there, I’m currently planning our data model for an upcomig project and was wondering what good approaches to modelling modifiers/addons are. So requirements are basically this:We want to sell a dish that has some base ingredients you cannot take away (i.e. Pasta Bolognese) You should be able to choose certain things attached to it (for example pasta type: Spaghetti, Rigatoni etc.) You should be able to choose additional items, for example: Extra Cheese, More Sauce, Extra Meatballs, etc. (it’s pretty generic and makes more sense when you think about a bowl for example) My first thought was to model it with 2 different product types (Dish and Modifier/Addon). You would then add them all the to the cart and the line item would have a custom field to hold the reference to the “main” dish line item. But unfortunately that is not super clean already, but it’s also not allowed to have the same SKU in a cart in multiple line items.So I could have a big json field in a custom field to hold

HighPrecisionMoney prices on Orders

Hi, Is there a option to store HighPrecisionMoney on Orders? Article has a HighPrecisionMoney but all the calculations on order/cart are rounded and stored as CentPrecisionMoney. Our use case is that we would need to export orders to external systems and we could have rounding issues when we reimport orders or need to sync them. Regards, Drazen

Unable to Connect Studio to the Merchant Center

I am unable to Connect Studio to the Merchant Center.I am getting an error “The Data Source you've registered doesn't match any registered extensions.”I believe that this being caused by the backend/commerce-commercetools not being in place.I have done a clean build and uploaded, but I am still getting the error.

Commercetools vs. Observability

Hi everyone,we are currently looking at implementing tracing with OpenTelemtry. There is some documentation regarding doing this with OpenTelemetry: https://docs.commercetools.com/sdk/observability/opentelemetrySadly, it is not clearly stated what’s even possible and/or implemented.Are requests fully e2e traceable? Example: If our backend sends a trace ID and we receive a callback later, will that callback contain the trace ID? Is W3C as standard used? Thanks!

Leveraging external customer OAuth instead of the password flow

Re-using Merchant Center as Admin Panel for Sellers

Hi everyone,I’m exploring commercetools to build a B2B eCommerce platform for a client and have a question regarding the Merchant Center. I’ve noticed that it offers various customization options and was wondering if it can be repurposed as an admin panel for sellers. Specifically, I’d like to know:Can the Merchant Center be customized for individual sellers to manage their products and orders?If so, is it possible to brand the admin panel with the seller's logo, color scheme, and other brand elements?Looking forward to any insights or recommendations on this! Thanks in advance!

Dynamic index creation time

We have orders search functionality - by using query to filter our particular orders. https://docs.commercetools.com/api/predicates/query Every time we are adding new search params (typically custom fields) we have timeout error once we use them, after some time search optimization dynamic index is added side timeout issues are gone, search works fast without problemsFor the last added search param index creation is taken more time: According to CT documentation it should take up to 2 weeks: From our previous experience it was couple of days, now it is more that 2 weeks already but we still have timeout issue and I am not sure what we can do to understand when it will.be optimized.This is the custom field search, nothing complicated and nothing different from the other custom fields except name custom(fields(motoReferenceId="{value}"))

Merchant Center CSV asset import fails

I'm creating an import CSV file for assets for Merchant Center import functionality and it works until I add tags to the import (variants.assets.tags). I also tried the template file that you provide in the documentation but it also failed.I always get an error:Row:1 InvalidField variants.0.assets.0.tags must be an array Import file:variants.sku ,key ,variants.key ,variants.assets.key ,variants.assets.name.en ,variants.assets.sources.uri ,variants.assets.description.en ,variants.assets.tags 123456789 ,test-product , 123456789 ,asset-key-1 ,asset name 1 ,https://example.org/product-video.mp4 ,description 1 ,new; sale; test  In addition, is there a possibility to target a specific asset like attributes? e.g. variants.asset.1.key so that we don’t need a new line for each asset. Regards,Drazen

Merchant Center CSV Import

Hi, I’m trying to do an CSV product import with the Merchant Center import functionality. I’m having issue with localised set attributes. I tried multiple combinations but I didn’t find a working example for localised set/text field. Attributes are defined as text, localised and set, e.g. “specifications” attribute. I tried the following:  attributes.specifications.en.*.key attributes.specifications.keyattributes.specifications.en.1.keyattributes.specifications.en.  Any help would be welcome. Regards, Drazen

Frontend extension runner not available

Hello!Have you ever encountered that the extension runner in the Frontend solution is not available during Netlify build? And if so, how are you (consistently) getting over this issue?It used to happen from time to time and I would usually merge a dummy commit in the branch which would trigger a new build. In the past I’ve also had tests fail in the pipeline (Studio CI) but it wouldn’t show in the CI dashboard. This case would also make the Netlify build fail with the same reason, but this time it’s not the case because I can see my branch pipeline finished successfully.Also, interestingly enough, it’s only failing in one environment (staging). This time the extension is simply not accessible, but I’ve had cases where the version was not a match, or even the extension was responding but the short commit hash was undefined (it was still seen as a miss-match)   This time it’s quite stubborn because I’ve tried commits, new branches, rebases, manually triggering the build from Netlify, to

Commerce Tools limitations in API extensions

Hi, My team has run into an issue where we have Commerce Tools orders that contain 12 + items in the cart. For certain geographical locations (e.g. USA) we need to perform 8 - 12 actions per line item in the order. This breaches existing Commerce Tools limitation of 100 actions in API extensions. Is there an option to increase this limit ? so that we dont run into this processing issue? Thanks Ivano

Order Editing in Merchant Center

Hi, Is it possible to enable order editing in the Merchant Center? The use case I am looking at here is that some of our orders require vetting - our Customer Service team opens an order and checks if the right part (we are in auto spare parts business) was selected by the customer. In case it does not the vehicle, they remove it and replace it with a different part (SKU).I am researching an option to have this use case handled in Merchant Center - any thoughts anyone?(for the sake of this discussion I would leave the payment element complexity)
