There hasn't been an update for a long time, but that wasn't because not much is happening in the background at PunchCommerce. We are currently working on a new website structure, a new price model and a few other little things. More information on this will be available shortly. Until then, we would like to introduce you to more features and bug fixes.

New function: product sorting within the catalogues
---------------------------------------------------

You can now sort your products in the catalog based on the order in the uploaded file.

New function: Assignment of Shopware 6 item attributes
------------------------------------------------------

In addition, you can now map fields within the Shopware administration directly to the data fields transferred to PunchCommerce during PunchOut.

Generation of BMEcat catalogs via PunchCommerce is no longer possible
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Until recently, you still had the option of conveniently creating a BMEcat catalog using our catalog module. Effective immediately, this feature is no longer available. We have decided to discontinue these and focus fully on the PunchOut

Other improvements and bug fixes
--------------------------------

In addition, we were able to optimize the session handling for our enterprise modules with external authentication and improve the handling of non-UFT-8 coded requests.

Outlook into the future
-----------------------

A new pricing model for PunchCommerce awaits you in the near future. So that you are even more flexible in the selection of your individual needs — tailored to your existing budget. You can also look forward to a new website and other little things. Stay tuned!
