Official release of Liferay Data Sets, moving from Beta to Release! Data Sets are a powerful and flexible way to retrieve, manage, visualize, and interact with structured data in Liferay DXP. Built on top of Objects and leveraging Liferay’s robust ecosystem, Data Sets exemplify the “build Liferay with Liferay” philosophy. With seamless integration with compatible Headless APIs, administrators can easily configure Data Sets and empower end-users with a rich, customizable experience for consuming and interacting with data.
Key benefits:
Retrieve Data: Fetch information from any compatible Headless API to use as a Data Set source.
Manage Flexibility: Administrators can customize what parts of the API response are included, along with filters, sorting options, and available actions.
Visualize Data: Multiple visualization options make it easier than ever for end-users to consume data meaningfully.
Enable Interaction: End-users can interact dynamically with data using the filters, actions, and tools configured by administrators.
To ensure the quality, stability, and modernity of Liferay DXP, we've updated to React 18, bringing significant benefits in security, performance, and compatibility. This update is critical to maintaining DXP's status as a robust and future-proof platform.
Key benefits:
Security Enhancements: Older library versions can expose vulnerabilities. Upgrading to React 18 mitigates these risks by incorporating the latest security patches.
Performance Improvements: React 18 introduces features like concurrent rendering, which enhances responsiveness and load handling for better user experiences.
Enhanced Compatibility: Upgrading ensures DXP aligns with modern tools and frameworks, minimizing integration challenges and future-proofing our development processes.
Continued Support: Staying current with React’s ecosystem ensures ongoing access to community updates, bug fixes, and innovations.
This release introduces a new Stripe Tax connector, now available in the Liferay Marketplace, designed to integrate directly with Liferay Commerce’s core transaction flows. This connector enables dynamic, automated tax calculation powered by Stripe Tax, replacing manual or static tax setups with an automated, accurate, and globally compliant solution.
Once installed and configured, the connector calculates taxes automatically at checkout based on the buyer’s shipping address and the seller’s tax registration settings. The integration is especially valuable for businesses operating in tax-complex regions like the United States, where tax rates and rules can vary dramatically between states, counties, and even cities.
By leveraging Stripe Tax through this connector, merchants benefit from seamless tax compliance, transparent pricing for buyers, and simplified tax reporting for administrators.
Key Benefits:
Automated Real-Time Tax Calculation Eliminate manual tax logic. Taxes are calculated dynamically during checkout using Stripe’s robust tax engine, ensuring accuracy based on product, location, and applicable tax laws.
Supports Complex U.S. Tax Scenarios This is particularly beneficial for merchants selling into the U.S. market, where tax complexity is high. Stripe Tax automatically accounts for state, county, and city-level rules—reducing the burden on sellers.
Improved Buyer Experience Buyers see clear tax breakdowns at checkout, building trust and preventing cart abandonment due to surprise charges.
Streamlined Operations for Sellers Taxes are included in transaction records without seller intervention. Sellers can access tax-inclusive transaction histories and focus on business growth.Streamlined Operations for Sellers Taxes are included in transaction records without seller intervention.

This feature introduces the ability to define and manage custom address types as sub-types of the main address categories—Billing, Shipping, or Billing & Shipping—in Commerce - Account Addresses. This significantly enhances address management flexibility for B2B businesses operating across multiple locations, departments, or stakeholders.
Previously, address management was limited to only two hardcoded types: Shipping and Billing. With this release, businesses can now define additional sub-types (e.g., Ship-to Party, Sold-to Party, Ordering Address, Payer, Disti Branch Officer, DC Delivery Address) through a newly introduced Picklist-based configuration system. These sub-types are configurable and can be mapped directly under one of the three main categories.
This approach ensures compatibility with common ERP systems like SAP, which already support a range of address roles in the order-to-cash process.
Key Benefits:
Flexible Address Management: B2B businesses can model complex customer hierarchies and logistical operations with precision. Define specific address roles that align with real-world use cases without being restricted to just billing and shipping.
ERP Integration Ready: Custom sub-types allow seamless data synchronization with ERP systems like SAP, avoiding manual workarounds and ensuring that address roles like Sold-to, Bill-to, and Ship-to are preserved in external systems.
Improved Order Fulfillment & Compliance: Tailoring address types to real operational needs supports more accurate order routing, fulfillment, and financial processing, while also aligning with internal compliance and invoicing requirements.
Guests now have the option to sign in or sign up during the checkout process, directly from the mini-cart. Once logged in, users can either select an existing account or create a new one, ensuring that they can move through the purchase flow smoothly without disruptions. Upon setting the account, guests, now logged-in users, will be redirected to the checkout, making the transition to completing the purchase seamless.
Additionally, if a guest decides to sign in without necessarily checking out, the guest cart will now be merged with their account after logging in. This ensures that any items added to the cart during the guest session are retained when they sign in or select an existing account, improving the continuity and experience for returning users.
In this release a new type of Data Set called System Data Sets is introduced, which will allow admin users to clone Java/Code Data Sets, making them editable and customizable through the Data Set Manager, which allow to customize any administration part of DXP built with a customizable Java/Code Data Set.
In this release the Data Sets from Order Pages have been made available as System Data Sets:
Pending Order Items
Placed Order Items
Order Returns
Pending Orders
Placed Orders
In the next releases more and more Data Sets will be added to the list.
Key Benefits
This epic increases the flexibility of Liferay DXP by enabling partial customization of previously hardcoded Data Sets.
Admins will have more control over the user experience, enhancing the platform's ability to meet diverse and evolving business requirements.
This also reduces the need for custom development efforts to modify or replace hardcoded Data Sets.
