Some bug fixes may address existing support articles. A comprehensive list is at the bottom of this page. The March 2026 release is now available for developers to download and work with locally or to request deployments. ## Release highlights - Added a specific error message for expired promotion codes. A new **Promotion\_Expired** application message (default text: **Promotion has expired**) displays when a customer enters a promotion code that has passed its **Deactivate On** date. - Added an option to display the Recently Purchased List at the user level instead of the customer (company) level. - Added **Category-Level Rule** for product badge assignment, enabling all products within a category to automatically inherit the assigned badge and simplifying badge management. - Added **Start** and **End** date fields to Marketing Lists created within the **Admin Console**. - Added support for displaying and filtering by custom properties in **Admin Console** tables. Custom properties defined in the **Application Dictionary** are now available as selectable columns and as filter options in applicable **Admin Console** tables. - Automatic translations for product details is generally available. ## Breaking changes \*Fixed the issue where Commerce Search v3 displayed duplicate products in search results after performing searches or sorting operations. ### Enhancements - Added a **Sign up for newsletter** widget for the **Checkout - Review** and **Submit** page in Spire CMS. This widget lets content editors place a newsletter subscription checkbox on the checkout page, independent of the **Classic-only** setting. The default text reads **Sign me up for newsletters and promotions** and is customizable through the widget configuration. - Added a **Sign up for newsletter** configuration toggle to the One Page Checkout element **Review & Place Order** widget. When enabled, the newsletter subscription checkbox displays on the one-page checkout page. - Removed the **Add Page** option in **Spire CMS** for system pages where adding child pages is not applicable. - \*Added the Application Insights Disable Database Tracking toggle within Admin Console > Developer. When enabled, the setting filters out SQL dependency telemetry before it leaves the application, reducing Azure data storage costs associated with high-volume database interaction logging. - Updated the default **Export Product Feed** job to generate fully qualified image URLs for the **Product Recommendations** feed. - Added the **Polly** library to the list of allowed third-party libraries for use in Configured Commerce extensions. Polly enables developers to implement retry, circuit-breaker, and other resilience patterns in custom code. - Added **Created By** and **Modified By** as selectable columns in the **Lists** table in the **Admin Console**. Administrators can now identify which user created or last modified a list. - Added an option to display the recently purchased list at the user level instead of the customer (company) level. - Added automated cleanup for audit log records. A new **Audit Log Retention Days** setting controls how long records are kept. The default retention period is 90 days. Records older than the configured period are deleted automatically. - Improved performance of the **Admin Console Audit Logs** page by adding a database index on the **Audit Date** column. As a result, sites with large audit log tables experience faster loading and sorting. - Improved the retry logic for PDF generation using **IronPDF**. The system now handles transient failures more reliably when generating invoice and order PDFs. - Added automatic handling for email attachments that exceed 20 MB. Instead of failing to send, the system stores the file and includes a download link in the email body. A new application message **Email\_Attachments\_Too\_Large** controls the text that appears in the email. - Changed the default value of the **Cart Version** setting to **V2** for all newly created sites. Existing sites are not affected by this change. The **ISC\_Implementer** role now has access to modify the **Cart Version** setting. - Added support for the **Verify transaction** type in **Payment Service**, which lets you validate a payment method without charging it. - Improved date parsing in payment profile expiration checks to handle invalid date formats by switching to tolerant parsing, preventing errors when payment profiles contain malformed expiration dates. \* These enhancements were included in hotfixes and are available for 5.2.2602 STS. ## Bug fixes - Fixed an issue where customer segment-based headers configured in Spire CMS did not display for the assigned segment group on the storefront. - Fixed an unhandled error that occurred when filtering orders by an invalid VMI location ID in the URL. The system now displays a **No orders found** message instead of an error page. - \*Fixed the unhandled error that occurred when performing product searches with Commerce Search v3 enabled. - \*Fixed the unhandled error that occurred with Commerce Search v3 when sorting search results by price if the results contained unit of measure products. - \*Fixed the issue where Product Recommendations incorrectly tracked child variants as their parent product in Cart and Checkout pages. - Fixed unhandled errors that occurred when signed-in users performed searches after the Google Search integration launch. - Fixed an issue where the order source was incorrectly set to Web instead of Punchout when an order was created through a **PunchOut** session using the **OrderRequest** process. - Fixed an issue where the recently purchased list intermittently failed to load updated items after a purchase. - Fixed an unhandled error that occurred when the **Product UrlSegment** property was configured as non-translatable in the **Application Dictionary**. - Fixed an issue where shared lists created in the **Admin Console** did not display a **Shared By** indicator on the storefront when the **Shared By** field was left empty. - Fixed an issue where the shipping and billing address could not be changed during one page checkout when checking out with an accepted quote. \* These bug fixes were included in hotfixes and are available for 5.2.2602 STS.
