Cloud MT and Citrus-Lime Ecommerce new versions are being released on the evening of Tuesday 16th March. Cloud MT will be available immediately, and Citrus-Lime Ecommerce will be deployed to all sites the following morning. Below you will find a list of improvements and bug fixes that you can expect to see in this update.
Cloud MT
New Features
- New Feature Opt-in page added to Merchant Tools
We are pleased that after successful testing on a number of sites we can now make our updated cart available to all customers.
Our new shopping cart focuses on streamlining the shopping cart code, removing old, prohibitive code and pathing the way for future features and improvements. Visually speaking, it's much improved with particular improvements to the mobile user experience. We've held a closed beta test over a period of months to test stability and seen an improvement in both bounce-rates and progression to the checkout.
With the addition of the New Feature Opt-in page in Cloud MT, You'll be able to decide when to move forward and update to our latest technology. Note: It'll be a one-way setting and once it's activated, you can't roll back.
In our 11th May 2021 Ecommerce release, this setting will be automatically activated for all customers. To be clear, this will completely drop support for the current shopping cart and default to the new shopping cart. From this point onwards, the existing shopping cart will not be available, and all sites will use the new cart automatically.
