New Promotion Rule Engine: Smarter Discounts, More Flexibility

We’re excited to release a major upgrade to the Cart and Catalog Rule System in HDL Commerce — enabling you to create smarter, more flexible, and more engaging promotions tailored to your customers.

This release enhances how you build and apply promotions, with new discount types, deeper condition logic, and a streamlined interface to help you manage campaigns directly in your existing dashboard.

What’s New

Smarter Rule Conditions

• Nested conditions let you group complex logic using “all/any” logic combinations

• Multi-select operators allow targeting by multiple SKUs, categories, or brands

• New attributes like Brand and SKU List add precision to your targeting

New Discount Types

• Buy X, Pay for Y: Ideal for bundles and volume promotions

• Cheapest Item Free: Reward customers automatically

• Fixed Price Per Item: Set a custom price when customers buy in bulk

• Catalog discounts now support percentage reductions and fixed final prices

Upgraded Rule Builder UI

• A new SKU product picker makes it easy to apply promotions to multiple items

• New UI for nested conditions makes complex logic visually intuitive

• Streamlined flow for both Cart Rules and Catalog Rules

Scoped Rule Logic

• Product Subselection: Apply rules only to part of the cart based on product subtotal or quantity — great for category-specific offers

Why It Matters

• Create more targeted campaigns with less manual effort

• Drive more sales with dynamic discounts and bundle offers

• Quickly build rules with an intuitive dashboard interface

• No learning curve — all updates work seamlessly with the tools you already use

Getting Started

Advanced Filtering on the Order Listing Page

Managing orders just got easier. We’ve introduced a powerful new filtering system to the Order Listing page in HDL Commerce, giving you faster access to the data you need.

What’s New

You can now filter orders using multiple dynamic criteria — making it easier to locate specific orders, analyze sales activity, and streamline your daily operations.

Available Filters:

• Customer Type – Segment orders by customer category

• Date Range – Filter by order dates (From → To)

• Order Status – Quickly identify open, completed, or canceled orders

• Sales Channel – View orders by storefront, marketplace, or B2B portal

• Currency – Separate local and international transactions

• Payment Method – Segment orders by payment type (e.g., Stripe, Klarna)

Technical Details (For Admins & Developers)

• The frontend dynamically retrieves available filter options using:
  GET {BASE_URL}/bo/sales/filters/orders/attributes

• The backend integrates seamlessly with existing filter logic — just pass the selected filters in the expected format

Why This Matters

• Faster order searches and reduced admin time

• Improved operational workflows for support and logistics teams

• Easier reporting and analytics based on specific order traits

Start using the new filtering tools today by visiting your Order Listing page under the Sales section in your admin dashboard.

System Update: Database-Driven Menu Locations

We’ve made key improvements to how navigation menus are managed in HDL Commerce, moving from file-based configuration to a more dynamic, database-driven system. This update improves flexibility, scalability, and long-term maintainability for managing navigation across channels and storefronts.

What’s New

Menu Locations Now in the Database

Navigation menu locations (e.g., Primary Menu, Footer Menu) are now stored in the database rather than configuration files. This allows dynamic updates without code deployment and supports multi-channel setups.

Migration Command for Developers

We’ve introduced a command-line tool to help developers migrate existing configuration-based menus to the new system:

This extracts existing paths and titles and stores them in the database — ready for use without code rewrites.

Deprecation Notice

The old method of defining menu locations in configuration.php is now deprecated. It will be removed in a future release. We recommend migrating as soon as possible to ensure future compatibility.

Technical Enhancements (For Developers)

• Validation Updates: Reserved identifiers such as primary_menu and footer_menu can now be used safely when creating new entries. The system prevents unintended changes to existing reserved identifiers.

• Centralised Validation: New validation rules are injected directly via the NavigationMenuLocationRequest, ensuring consistent behaviour and improving testability.

• Scoped Logic Fixes: Channel-specific behaviours are now handled more reliably, reducing unnecessary entries in scoped navigation contexts.

Developer Notes

• Use the navigation:location:migrator command to migrate existing configurations into the database

• Test any overridden navigation-related logic in custom projects

• The core system now queries menu locations directly from the database
