Hi @James Luterek, thanks for posting this topic, can’t wait to see what great ideas come out of it!
I would love to see some more useful statistics on orders right on the dashboard.
most sold product, product that generates the highest revenue, most watched product (if that is something that can be tracked by the amount of calls to that product) and optionally sales per store, and so on.
There is so much data that is gathered automatically that can be used to improve business, it would be great to have some basic statistics available out of the box (besides the total orders that are available today).
Probably nothing new, and following the trend, but would like to see some integration with AI, on different fronts:
- Chat interface - ask questions about customers, orders, etc.. and have quick answers without the need to go to the search/filters of each section, all inside the merchant center, chat can live in a new page, or present on all pages as a new UI element)
- Dashboard driven by AI
- Creation of product types by AI prompt (e.g. User explains the model needs, and AI suggests all attributes with possibility to create them)
- Generation of images and image captions (maybe only relevant when images are being handled in CT and not a PIM/3rd party)
- Orders anomaly detection - probably not so simple, but would be good to quickly identify them (in the dashboard or orders page)
- Creation of product types by AI prompt (e.g. User explains the model needs, and AI suggests all attributes with possibility to create them)
Regarding this point, I’m curious if you’ve played with the AI assistants - https://docs.commercetools.com/docs/chat

Yes, the code generator is a good starting point, but it’s very restrictive, it doesn’t do exactly what I was suggesting in my previous comment, I was thinking in something similar to https://www.contentful.com/blog/jumpstart-your-content-modeling-with-the-ai-content-type-generator/, I know it’s on a different context, but the purpose is the same.
Using the assistant (chat) It works better as can provide a prompt, but the model is not optimised for code generation:
I can guide you through the process of creating a product model for a t-shirt in commercetools, but please note that I'm not optimized for generating code.
Nevertheless, it’s already something.
It will be great to be able to export Channels in Merchant Center, or at least on IMPEX, our client have around 500 Stores and they want to export and being able to do bulk update on them.
I believe you can query channels by project key in the ImpEx tool today, and you can gather the JSON results into a data file, however, there is not currently a way to do bulk action edits on channels via an upload tool that I am aware of. I can check to see if this is something on our roadmap :)
Hey @James Luterek I have heard a customer ask recently about A/B testing, it would be interesting to see what cool things could be done with custom apps/extensions with CoFE for that

not really a solution for what you requested, as it involves some coding, but in IMPEX, you can use the GraphQL tool and perform a query on Stores/Channels/etc.., and then copy the JSON to a tool like https://data.page/json/csv and convert it to CSV. This can be handy in some situations where you want quickly to extract some specific information.

I know you can work with channels from the Merchant Center UI. For your use-case, you want to download a CSV, make a bunch of edits, and then upload the CSV to apply the changes? Are you looking to support the built-in fields or also custom fields with different type definitions?

I’d love to see A/B testing built-in to the application. Building it as an extension will be tricky since you can’t have nested tastics, but I’ll think through some ideas.
Do they want to leverage a service like Adobe Target, VWO, or convert.com? Or are they looking for something more basic that can be leveraged directly from CoFe?

Also custom fields since most of the channels information will be stored in custom fields.

A Point-of-Sale app or framework:
- native (React-native?) or hybrid (Capacitor?)
- Easy to customize UI & branding
- Ability to manage cash
- Integrates with Payment terminal
- Integrates with receipt printer
- Some type of offline capability (e.g. periodically syncs products into app, and pushes orders out)
Would be great to have a feature to create native apps with boiler plate code generated using a similar interface - with react-native based tastics/components - which can be customized - ideally like a zone for app management.
We should have a way to add as many sites as we want to support, as many apps (android/ios) and be able to provide domain details etc in Studio which flows into netlify.
Must have a way to define as many environments as we need - may be have like this restricted three dev/stage/prod usual with an option to add as many as we want with a cost associated with it. Currently we have dev/stage/prod -- but dev doesnt have its own backend deployment -- so these need to be flushed out.
Would be good to be able to configure whether profiles / carts are shared across multiple sites for ease of development - multi-site and multi-catalog/subcatalog concepts need to be ironed out - currently every implementation has to think differently as the platform isnt having anything rigid and the customer business is driving those now, if the product already supports a seamless way to manage shared profiles/carts/sites etc - it would help implementations
Hi very good ideas in this thread, CommerceTools Connect would fit in for some of these use cases, it is not very well known that you can build your own private Connector apps and you can deploy them per project, this gives significant flexibility. Happy to brainstorm how to leverage the possibilities that Connect offer with any member of the community.
