This release introduces a new Multishipping feature to the storefront, allowing customers to ship parts the same order to multiple addresses with a single checkout. Whether customers are sending gifts to different recipients or shipping products to various locations, the Multishipping feature offers a seamless and flexible shopping experience.

Administrators can allow multishipping in their site through a new configuration in the site’s Channel details page. The customers can access a new “Multishipping” tab in the Open Order Details page to easily manage the Delivery Groups and customize the quantity of each order item for every Delivery Group for the order before the checkout.

Please note that this feature is available through the existing “Commerce Classic Site Initializer” Beta feature flag. To enable it, open the Applications Menu → Control Panel → Instance Settings → Feature Flags → Beta.

Key benefits:

1. Easy to Setup: Multishipping can be activated for your site by enabling “Allow Multishipping” in your site’s Channel Details page.

2. Flexible Address and Delivery Management: Customers can easily set different shipping addresses or different delivery dates for the same address in the context of the same order.

Provided an option to turn the “Out-of-date” feature on/off. When turned on (the default behavior before this release), ongoing publications created in previous Liferay versions were labeled as “Out-of-date” after the upgrade and could not be modified or published. This feature is now off by default, and users can publish these publications without Liferay support.

Key benefit:

Increase manageability over publications and the ability to publish any previous modification, including after Liferay upgrades.

The two separate option menus currently displayed in the Web Content Display widget have been merged into a single, consolidated dropdown menu for content creators. This new menu will improve the user experience by reducing confusion and unnecessary clicks, ensuring all relevant widget actions (e.g., Hide Widget, Duplicate, Export/Import, etc.) are easily accessible.

Previously, when managing complex data models, users must create scripts or code in order to make changes to multiple related objects. Now users are able to configure multiple objects as if they are one object. Related child objects now inherit permissions and account restrictions and more from the top level parent, making object management more convenient.

Key benefits:

Simplifies the management of multiple objects through a configuration on the relationship between objects

• Permissions and Account Restrictions for the child objects are inherited from the Top level parent

• API endpoints are nested under the same namespace of the top level parent

Allow users to move display pages containing Object or Form widgets across environments

Key benefit:
Addresses a feature gap when moving content pages across environments
