Store product pages are now built to be found. Each one carries its own page title, its own description and its own web address, so a product can be shared as a link and shows a proper preview card on WhatsApp, Facebook, LinkedIn and X instead of a bare address.
Every product page now also describes itself in a machine-readable form — name, pictures, category, price, currency, availability and stock — which is what Google, Bing and AI assistants read to understand and quote a product correctly.
Shopping feeds are covered too: the brand, model, SKU and barcode you fill in on an item are published in the format Google Merchant Center uses to identify a product, along with the availability and the price. A barcode is only published when it is a genuine 8, 12, 13 or 14 digit code, so an internal reference can never be mistaken for one and get a feed rejected.
Anything else recorded on the item — unit, model year, commodity code and your own custom fields — is published as named product properties, so it is readable rather than buried in the page.
New settings screen: Settings → Appearance → Sign up, holding the three decisions about how people join your workspace.
Someone typing an email that has no account on the sign in page can now be taken straight to the sign up page, with that email already filled in, instead of being told the sign in failed. It is off by default.
“Simple sign up” cuts the sign up form down to first name, last name, email and password. The account type, country, company name, VAT and GST numbers, bank details and address are all left out, so signing up takes seconds; you can still fill those in later from the client’s profile.
You can now choose which team member owns a client that signed up on its own. A client that arrived through a referral link still stays with the team member who referred it.
Updates
A product page is only offered to search engines when your store is open to visitors and the item is set to show in the client portal. Every other product page is explicitly marked “do not index”, so a private catalogue stays private.
The specifications on a product page are now a real list of pairs, the sections carry their own headings and the gallery thumbnails are proper buttons. The page looks the same, but screen readers, search engines and AI assistants can now follow it.
Availability dates on a product page are written in a form that is unambiguous to a machine, whatever date format your workspace uses.
Fix
The store no longer looks up the currency exchange rate twice while building a product page.
