Our Integration Framework includes Pub/Sub, Message Queuing and inbound and outbound webhooks. This release also includes an update to vertex integration and several User Interface updates and much more.

This new feature enables you display merchandise items that come in multiple sizes and color but enable your customers to see one item when shopping and select the size and color they would like. This creates a much better shopping experience for your customers and it’s very easy to setup. Survey Link.
