New Store Locator
A new store location process has been developed.
- Geo-location Lookup Service – using the Google Maps API, customers can enter any geographical information (including postal codes, cities, and famous landmarks) and see a list of stores near that location.
- Improved Customer Interface –cleaner and more intuitive, only the most relevant information is highlighted but auxiliary information is available at the click of a button.
See this on Showcase, or the overview documentation.
Improved Tablet Support
The number of customers using tablets (such as iPads) to visit online stores continues to increase.
- HTML5 Input Fields – when customers enter their email address or phone number, the device’s on-screen keyboard changes depending on the context: email fields display a keypad with an ‘@’ sign, and phone number fields display a numeric keypad.
- Intuitive Mega Menu – tablet users can now tap on a top-level category to reveal the contents of the menu (instead of just navigating the user to that category).
See this on Showcase (while using a tablet), or read the overview documentation.
Numerous Other Improvements
- Consistent Price Feedback – previously, showing “was”, “saving”, “from”, and “to” prices varied depending on whether it was an attribute product or not, and whether it was on a product detail, list, search results page, etc. There is now uniformity across all variations.
- Minicart Promotion Totals – as part of extensive work on the Minicart widget, we have added in the ability to show the total value of any applied promotions. The “total price” now also takes into account the promotions.
- Password Reminder Usability – the process now returns the customer to the start of the workflow they were in (registration or checkout), and auto-fills email fields with the email address they submitted during the process.
