Spotlight
These features were introduced throughout August & September.
Klarna Payments
New integration added for Klarna Payments, we previously had Klarna Checkout but now support both of their account types.
This also improves our previous Klarna Checkout integration to use their hosted payment page which helps ease PCI v4 requirements.

Product Export V2
We've added a new timesaving product import / export to make it easier to update (and test) your main product data from a single file rather than multiple files, including tickboxes for options, default & additional images, videos, downloads, attributes, tags, associated products, addons, components, bundling package types. There is also a debug mode which displays the first 1000 lines for you to check prior to exporting all products. Default normal and special prices can also be included, although it's likely you will use the Products Price Export for this instead as it handles more pricing options.

Google Shopping Automated Discount support for V1 Google product feeds.
Previously to use Google Shopping Automated Discounts you'd have needed to upgrade your feed to use the new ID formats, resulting in Google re-indexing the products as new and going through another AI relearning phase. This has been reworked so existing sites using V1 of the product feed can now also apply for using Google Shopping Automated Discounts for paid product listings (read more about this feature here). New sites can jump straight in with the v2 feed.

Products & variations export now exposes the RRS data (Runners Repeaters Strangers)
This lets you easily view RRS data across all your products and variation combinations em masse, so for example you can asses the impact of faster moving runners being in or out of stock and adjust production or purchasing cycles accordingly.

Google product feed v2 now automatically adds nested categories to custom label 4
The google product feeds already show the default category as the product type however if you also use categories 2-5 on products and these may be more specific, we now automatically set the custom labels of these products to the most specifically nested category (unless a custom label 4 has specially been set on the product to override it).

API, Multi Store & Integrations
Easier product download access via API
We added a new "Include downloads with products" switch on api accounts to allow 3rd parties access to all related downloads of products. Please note you'll only want to enable this for 3rd parties you trust if some product downloads are not public.

Unleashed force push > Loading bar
Previously doing a full force push of all products from a site to Unleashed would be slow and it wasn't clear how far through the process you were. We've now made this a background task and added a progress bar so you can easily track the progress of this operation.
