Add order list capability (personalized product list)
Our customers would really be helped with an order list (personalized and customizable product list) functionality, in which the can manually store items they order frequently and from which they can send in their orders.
The order templates don't work for this purpose, because our customers do not place the exact same order multiple times, so it's a hassle to have to delete all unwanted products. They buy a certain assortment of products from us, but their weekly order changes based on their sales (sometimes only 3 products out of an assortment of 100).
The suggestions page works great, but…

Add the ability for customers to filter/sort/search in their suggested product page.
This is a feature our customers (B2B) are asking for a lot. It would help them to re-buy previously bought products. Order lists don't work because their orders are not exactly the same each time.

Import only specific products
Sometimes it is required to only re-import specific products into Sana.
This may be for debugging purposes or also sometimes required by the customer when some data is missing for specific products and a marketing campaign is already in place.In one of our customizations we extended the Index Product Task like shown in the attached screenshot to temporarily only import the products listed in the task config.
Currently not having this functionality is quite annoying for debugging - as the task might be running for several hours and one would have to wait until it finished - then do…

Inbound PO date to show when next stock of an item is due
It would be great to see the next availability of a product in Sana, for instance I have no stock of Item A, but new stock of item A is due to arrive on 20th November

Admin notification when new version of add-on is available
It would be great if an admin could be notified when a new update is available for add-ons that are enabled in the webstore. These version updates contain bug fixes and enhancements, but the add-on page is typically not monitored frequently by webstore admins.
For this the Admin notification email address field in the Basics tab (Setup) could be used, which is already in place since Sana 9.3.

Using (meta) Descriptions instead of Specifications in Product List view
When using many specifications like we have, the Product pages List view is cluttered with specs like '4 MPa| No| No| No| Yes | Yes| No| No| No | 3822534267195| ' etc. See attached screenshot. This does not give any information about the products and looks messy. It would be better if replaced by a part of the description or meta description.

Ending Description 'preview' text with '...' instead of mid-sentence/mid-word
In Product Detail pages, the first part of the description at the upper right part of the page is always a fixed number of characters and often ends halfway of a word. HTLM tags like BR and P are ignored, and so are headings, so the text is poorly readable as everything is lumped together as one text).
It would be good to at least end this text with '...', or with 'read more' (which is now placed below the text), or even being manually editable as option.

Use paragraphs in HTML editor
Normal behavior of most WYSIG editors, also Froala, is this:
- Enter = New paragraph
- Shift + Enter = Line Break
But in Sana Commerce Cloud both gives a Line Break, making content creation much harder. Is it possible to change the behavior of the HTML editor behave like "standard" where ENTER gives new Paragraph?

Postcode check
It would be nice to have a postcode check like many other websites have. When you fill in the postcode and number, the streetname is automatically filled.

Customers are viewing all orders in their account, even not their own
Users (contact persons) can view, in their account after login, orders made by other users, which are linked to the same company.
This creates confusion the least and maybe in some cases violation of purchasing information. This is worse for big companies and public sector with dozens of employees having an account on our webshop.
When we create a new user in Sanastore, we create them with "Account type" = "Contact" and not "Customer". This way they are the only ones receiving the invoice of their purchase, and not the company they are linked to.
But, they can still see…15 votes -
Shortening the URL of visible Categories in Product list pages
When using product Categories as filter in Product list pages, the whole URL (including parent categories) is visible instead of just the categories themselves. When having nested categories, this means the URL is too long to actually show the category at the end (see screenshot).

Can we please make an option for product attachments to only be visible to logged in customers?

Split a item attribute into multiple attributes with a delimiter (filters)
For example.
Item "BALL" in Nav has the attribute "COLOR" With value "RED,BLUE".Now if i want to shop it up using the "RED" Filter it doesnt show up and neither in BLUE. The only option to make it appear in 2 filters.
ITEM BALL
Attribute: Blue: yes
Attribute: Red: yesWhich is basicly one big mess in the filter menu.
Using a delimiter on the field like "," or "|" to split those and appear in list...would benefit everyone. And its 2 lines or code or something...

Notification when a customer registers a new account ('BCC' e-mail addresses)
It would be very useful to get notified when a new customer registers an account on the webshop. Currently it's possible to get BCC emails when a customer places an order or a quote. This should also apply for customer registration.

Hi,
I would like to have a specific homepage for authenticated users (i.e. B2B Users).
After the login, users should be redirected to the new homepage whenever they are supposed to be redirected to standard home page.
In particular, users should be redirected to that page after login from standard homepage (B2C).
Specific homepages could also be defined for customer or salesperson, thouhg this could partially be achieved with segments.

Exclude unpaid Sales Orders from demand / reservations and filter for unpaid SO's
A customer has raised the issue today of unpaid Sales Orders being created in the system. B2C customer can get as far as the card payment screen, close the browser (or cancel the order). However because the Sales Order is created at the point of getting to the payment screen, the users processing the orders may not always be checking the order is paid and so goods are sent out for unpaid / uncompleted orders.
Our proposed solution is:
- a new filter showing the list of unpaid orders on the Sales Order page, also visible as a column
- Any that…

Customer Assortment functionality for Guest Checkout or New customers
One of our customers is looking into preventing certain products being available to buy from customers in the EU. This would normally be achieved by Customer Assortment. However this only works if the customer has registered and is logged into the site.
They have a Guest Checkout functionality. Along with new or not logged in customers, can the Customer Assortment take this into account - if not, can that be a future enhancement to the system?
The Template Customer has a default country code GB which would allow users in the EU to add items to the basket because they…

CXML and OCI web catalogue capabilities
Out of the box CXML and OCI web catalogue capabilities would be great for your B2B clients who work with large organisations. Many large organisations want suppliers who can offer web catalogues that integrate/operate as part of their existing ERP/procurement systems allowing the end customer to leverage their own business/approval logic, while still having the web catalogue shopping experience.
