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.

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/opentelemetry Sadly, 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!

I learned that you can have a preview into MC with a Custom View. I saw this on a post on linkedIn: And I naturally tried it, but got an exception: Does any of you know where do I need to configure to support iframes from a different domain? If not answer I’ll create a support ticket... Regards, Obed

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

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!

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 problems For 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}"))

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.

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.key attributes.specifications.en.1.key attributes.specifications.en. Any help would be welcome. Regards, Drazen

We’ve just launched a new youtube channel. Are first series covers commercetools Promotions. - What topics should we add next?

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

Hello CommersToolers, What I am curious about is whether certaing CommerceTools features, such as “cart” and “orders” for example could be used without the need for our product catalog being synced with CommerceTools? Does anyone have a clue? I’d appreciate any white paper, documentation reference or contact being shared with me. Kind reagards,Kalin.

Has anyone had success working with the new GraphQL SDK that CT has provided? https://commercetools.github.io/commercetools-dotnet-core-sdk-v2/docs/html/dc/da2/md_docs_2_graph_q_l.html I’ve looked at their tests in the source and I see them `using commercetools.Sdk.GraphQL.Api;`, however this doesn’t exist in the .NET SDK. I’m using .NET SDK v11.6 and .NET 8.

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-bootstrap The 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.

Following this documentation “https://docs.commercetools.com/merchant-center-customizations/custom-applications” I created custom application after running application page is redirected to merchant center login but my credential is getting failed on this page "https://mc.europe-west1.gcp.commercetools.com/login/authorize?reason=unauthorized&client_id=__local%3Astarter-0aa4b2&response_type=id_token&scope=openid%20project_key%3Acommerce-code%20view%3Aview_products%20manage%3Amanage_products&state=9d4920ab-3f4c-4d48-be85-6cd3ff2329e5&nonce=9d4920ab-3f4c-4d48-be85-6cd3ff2329e5".

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

Hey Team, I know the Merchant Center code base is based on React and my front-end is build with vue js, here my question is in this case how to use PHP SDK as a bridge between front-end and back-end. OR if we use PHP SDK as a connection what will be for front-end technology?

Let’s brainstorm together on how to improve your already thriving or soon-to-be reward programs 🙌

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(ClientService.c
