Leveraging external customer OAuth instead of the password flow

Hi Everyone,Is it possible to do external OAuth (SSO) to fetch the customer specific access token?I would like to do external-auth instead of password flow suggested in the documentation (/customers/token?grant_type=password&username=&password=) I am not sure this documentation refers to project specific or commercetools customer specific integration.https://docs.commercetools.com/api/authorization#requesting-an-access-token-using-an-external-oauth-server

commercetools Visualizer - a public available custom application

Hey team,as part of my onboarding a couple of years ago I started to develop a custom merchant center application that helped me to understand how:Custom Applications work How to deploy Custom Applications How the commercetools Composable Commerce APIs functionEver since we are using it in presales to do little things that the Merchant Center does not out of the box, e.g. like visualising “States” or “Types”.Since “Sharing is Caring” we thought, we make it available for all of you to have a look at it and use it.https://github.com/commercetools-demo/commercetools-visualizerBe aware, this is just a repository, no support or maintenance promises are attached. This repository has nothing to do with commercetools as a company  except that the code was mainly created by people working for commercetools.

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

How to kickstart your commercetools projects

Hey community members,a while ago I wrote a blogpost about how we bootstrap our projects in presales. You can read the blogpost here: https://commercetools.com/blog/how-to-kickstart-your-commercetools-projects Just wanted to let you know that we have just released a new version of the code: https://github.com/commercetools/project-bootstrapThe repository contains a collection of all kind of commercetools APIs . So if you ever need to do anything with our APIs, it might be a good starting point. Currently the project contains actions to import, export and translate data.While the repository is part of the commercetools organization, you will not get official support for the code. It is really just some code to help you move quicker.

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

Customer Authentication using JAVA SDK

Recently, I needed to generate a token to log a customer into a web app based on Commercetools. Using the Java SDK to communicate with Commercetools, I found that their Authorization API offers several authorization flows: Client Credentials: Creates a token for an API Client. Password Flow: Creates a token using the customer's login credentials. Anonymous Session Flow: Creates a token for an anonymous session (for a customer who might log in or sign up later). Refresh Token Flow: Refreshes an access token. In this article, I'll focus on generating an authentication token using the Password Flow. Commercetools provides an out-of-the-box method called GlobalCustomerPasswordTokenSupplier for this purpose. Below is the code snippet I used in a service class to generate the token.   public static AuthenticationToken getTokenForGlobalCustomer(final String prefix, final String email, final String password) throws IOException { final Properties prop = new Properties(); prop.load

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)
