What's new in 8.2
Litium 8.2 is a minor version of the Litium commerce platform. It contains minor features and bug fixes.
Highlights
Order approval flow in Accelerator
The ability to use persons, organizations and roles to define purchasing flows. The Accelerator uses the predefined roles OrderPlacer and OrderApprover, and the underlying logic is defined in a new tags framework for the order entity. The flow can be modified in customer projects according to needs.
Tags on orders, payments, shipments, and transactions
This feature provides the base framework to use tags on order, shipment, payment, and transaction entities. Tags can be used in different scenarios to interrupt or in other ways alter a business process. In the Litium Accelerator, it is used as the infrastructure to support order approval flows.
Single discount codes
The ability to use single codes for activation of discounts. In this feature, we implement the scenario for using single discount codes that are named by the merchant manually and that can be used one or many times.
Refund and cancel payments from API
The ability to cancel or refund payments to customers. The process starts when a cancel or refund transaction is initiated. The transaction may be initiated either from a sales return order or through an API call from external systems. The system initiates a refund and utilizes previously used payment transactions to do a return to the proper payment type for the order. A payment app refunds the money and updates the payment status in the system.
Payment details in order view
To be able as a merchant to get summary information about the payment in the different states, authorized, captured, refunded, cancelled, reserved etc. This facilitates identifying if there are any issue with the payment that needs attention.
Angular 13 in administration
The Litium administration UI is updated to run Angular 13.
.NET 6
With the update to the latest version of .NET, you get access to all new features, improvements and fixes in the .NET framework from Microsoft. Notable is the overall performance improvements, which all our customers running this version will benefit from.
