Order Management System
New Feature
Introducing Manual Order Creation in the OMS
The Fynd Commerce Order Management System (OMS) now allows merchants to create orders manually, catering to scenarios like telephonic sales, special customer requests, technical issues at storefronts, or offline campaigns.
This feature enables merchants to input sales channels, customer details, products, custom selling prices, fulfilment locations, and select payment modes to create orders effortlessly. By streamlining these processes, it enhances customer service and ensures merchants can manage unique order requirements efficiently.

New Feature
Customisable Lanes in OMS
Merchants can now customise their workflow in the Order Management System (OMS) by creating, modifying, and managing their own super lane and sub lane views. This feature empowers merchants with a personalised OMS experience, thereby increasing their efficiency. Key functionalities include:
- Adding and Modifying Lanes
- Merchants can create new super lanes and sub lanes to suit their operational requirements.
- Default lanes can be modified or deleted, offering unparalleled flexibility to structure views as per daily operational priorities.
- Reset to Default
- Merchants can quickly reset their lanes to the default setup, seamlessly removing customisations and restoring the original configuration.
- Lane Creation Limits
- With a generous limit of 100 lanes for both super and sub lanes, merchants can manage an extensive range of views without restrictions.
- Lane Sequencing
- Merchants can arrange their lanes in their preferred order using a simple drag-and-drop interface, to prioritise what matters the most, ensuring a streamlined and productive workflow.

Enhancement
Display Buyer GST Details in OMS
This update enables the buyer's GSTIN to be displayed on the platform. If a buyer provides a GSTIN while placing an order, it will appear under the "Customer Details" tab in the OMS's order details. If no GSTIN is provided, the field will be hidden.
This enhancement ensures sellers have seamless access to buyer's GST details, streamlining compliance and simplifying their internal processes.

Resolved Issue
Enhanced Manifest Generation for High-Volume Shipments
The OMS now supports manifest generation for up to 2,000 shipments, with an increased manifest upload file size limit of 15 MB. This is a significant upgrade from the previous limits of 500 shipments and a 2 MB file size. This enhancement enables merchants to handle high-volume shipments with ease, ensuring seamless processing and uninterrupted workflow.

Storefront
Issue Fixed
Enhance Brands Page to Display Brands of All Departments' Categories
This features ensures that the storefront’s brand pages provide a complete view of all offerings linked to the sales channel. Previously, the Brands page displayed only those brands with products from one department, limiting visibility for users. Now, the Brands page will showcase all brands associated with the sales channel, regardless of the department, offering a comprehensive view of the available brands.
This enhancement improves product visibility, simplifies navigation, and creates a more intuitive and user-friendly experience for customers.

Theme Editor
Enhancement
Section Settings Enabled for Header and Footer Bindings in Theme Editor
With this update, section settings are now available for all sections added to the header and footer bindings in the theme editor, similar to the settings available for sections in the body of the page. Merchants can now customise these sections with settings like screen size, login state, platform settings, scheduler, delivery zone settings, and route settings, making it easier to tailor the storefront design and behaviour.
However, the default header and footer components provided in the header and footer bindings will not have these settings, ensuring they remain simple and straightforward to use.
This functionality is implemented across both Vue and React themes, ensuring a consistent experience for all users. This improvement simplifies the customisation process and provides greater flexibility for managing the layout and functionality of the storefront's header and footer, enhancing the overall design experience.

Enhancement
Character Limit Validation for Single Line Text Attributes
To ensure a more seamless and compliant product creation process, we’ve introduced character limit validation for Single Line Text attributes. This enhancement applies to both the platform UI and bulk upload flows, helping sellers maintain accurate and platform-compliant data.
In the UI, when creating a product, the system now checks if Single Line Text attribute values exceed the allowable limit of 50 or 75 characters. If the limit is breached, a clear error message is displayed: "Values for attribute are too long for a filterable attribute. The values need to be less than 50/75 characters."
For bulk uploads, the system automatically flags any violations of character limits, ensuring errors are identified upfront. Additionally, the bulk upload template now includes helpful character limit notes (50 or 75 characters) under the relevant column headers, offering clear guidance for merchants during the upload process.
This improvement ensures data consistency and compliance, making product creation more efficient and error-free.

Finance
Enhancement
Transition to Tax Invoice for All Subscription Plans
Subscription plans will now generate a tax invoice in place of a proforma invoice, ensuring accurate tax calculations based on the Merchant's location and subscription terms. This update removes proforma invoices from the process, standardising all invoicing across finance and billing modules, including upload report invoices, auto-invoicing, and other invoice types.
{{hr_divider="/styles/components"}}
Payments
Enhancement
Enhanced Payment Failure Retry Experience in Webstore Checkout
In cases where a payment fails or is cancelled after initiation, customers will now be redirected back to the payment step within the same cart checkout flow. A clear information banner will appear below the ‘Select Payment Method’ header, providing the following message:
- Heading: “Payment Failed”
- Description: “Please try again or use a different payment method to complete payment.”
This update ensures a smoother experience by allowing customers to quickly retry payment or select an alternative method, reducing friction during checkout and improving the overall user journey.

New Feature
Introduced Extension Bindings for StoreOS to Enable Modular Features
We have introduced a new feature in StoreOS that allows businesses to add custom features to their platform using extensions. With this update, partners can now create and integrate their own extensions into StoreOS to meet specific business needs. These extensions can open as full pages or links and include options for how users interact with them, such as directly performing an action, opening a popup, or navigating to a new page.
Admins can review and test these extensions to ensure they are secure, perform well, and provide value. Merchants can also manage these extensions in their panel, with team members able to view and control how they are used. This update makes it easier to customise StoreOS for different requirements, keeping the core platform fast and efficient while supporting additional features through extensions.

Logistics
New Feature
Return Pickup Serviceability Configuration for Courier Partners
This feature allows courier partners to set up serviceability rules for return journeys independently from forward journeys. A new "Reverse Pickup" option has been added, which partners can use to specify whether a location supports return pickups. If this option is enabled, return serviceability will be calculated using the Reverse Pickup setting, without affecting the forward journey settings. This gives courier partners more control and flexibility in managing delivery operations for both forward and return orders.
