  • The Stores page will NOT be the landing page for Customers (User) and OMS microservices.
  • The Act On Behalf Of, Clone Order, and View Site features have been removed.
  • Logs have been set up to log events that can be used by Auditors, CSRs and Merchandisers to understand customer, order, and product-related activity as well as for analytics and auditing purposes.
  • An Admin can now create and configure a new instance of the OMS microservice such that customers can use OMS with their stores.
  • A well-defined error log is set up for the OMS microservice.
