# Platform updates

Contains information about changes and updates to the NewStore platform, including NewStore Omnichannel Cloud.

## June 2026

*Release Date*: June 30, 2026

Preferred Source Routing - Early Access Retailers can now opt in to configure preferred fulfillment locations so orders are routed there first, typically a distribution center (DC). This allows most items in an order to be fulfilled from the preferred location instead of routing the entire order to a single location, typically a store, that has all products available.

When a single source cannot fulfill the complete order, NewStore automatically splits the order across multiple sources. This increases DC utilization, reduces click-to-porch time, and lessens reliance on manual safety-stock workarounds. For more information, see [Replace Routing Ruleset](https://developer.newstore.com/#/http/order-management/routing-ruleset/replace-routing-ruleset) API.

This feature is available through an Early Access program for a limited group of retailers.

## April 2026

*Release Date*: April, 2026

France Fiscal Certification

As part of NewStore's commitment to provide retailers with a global POS platform that ensures fiscal compliance, we are happy to share we have successfully completed the 2026 annual certification process in France for the fiscal regulation - BOI-TVA-DECL-30-10-30 which applies to cash register/POS systems.

## March 2026

*Release Date*: March 30, 2026

Belgium Fiscal Enhancements

NewStore has enhanced its fiscal capabilities for retailers operating stores in Belgium, including chained receipt signatures, daily Z reports, sequential document numbering, and receipt copy identification in Dutch, French, and German. These enhancements ensure Belgian store operations meet local fiscal regulations, including VAT breakdown requirements and a 5-year digital retention period. Retailers who would like to enable this capability for their existing stores should open a support ticket to migrate existing store configurations to the new Belgium fiscal cash boxes.

## December 2025

*Release Date*: December 16, 2025

**Notice on Secure Communication and Support Engagement**

NewStore has now released a notice on secure communication and support engagement with NewStore for all retailers. For more information, see the [notice description](/v1/docs/notice-on-secure-communication-and-support-engagement-with-newstore).

## October 2025

*Release Date***:** October 28, 2025

**Cash Rounding - Switzerland**

NewStore now supports rounding for cash payments and cash refunds in Switzerland (CHF). This feature is available across **all** Associate App versions.

For more information on Cash Rounding, see [Enabling Cash Rounding](https://docs.newstore.com/v1/docs/en/setting-up-cash-management#enabling-cash-rounding).

## September 2025

*Release Date***:** September 04, 2025

**New events in Event Stream for reservations**

New events `reservation.created`and `reservation.updated` are now part of the NewStore Event Stream. These events ensure that third-party systems receive real-time updates when products are reserved and then updated (when their status changes from `Reserved` to `Converted` or `Unreserved`). For more details on reservations, see [Reserving or holding products in the store](/v1/docs/reservehold-a-product)

For more information on the events, see the [Event Stream Configuration API](https://docs.newstore.net/api/webhooks/stream_webhook_sink_hook/).

## July 2025

*Release Date***:** July 18, 2025

**Fulfilment node auto-creation during store setup**

Simplified store onboarding flow by introducing automatic creation of Fulfilment Nodes when a store is created via the [Store HTTP API](https://docs.newstore.net/api/integration/inventory-management/store_api/#tag/Stores). Previously, integrators had to manually create a fulfillment node after creating a store using a custom JSON payload. This added complexity, increased risk of misconfiguration, and created unnecessary support effort.

With this change:

- A fulfillment node is automatically created with the same ID as the store ID when calling the POST /stores API.
- This behavior applies only to retailers where the store ID and fulfilment node ID are intended to match.

Why this change is important:

- Reduces store setup time and onboarding complexity
- Minimizes integration errors due to missing or mismatched fulfilment nodes
- Decreases support load and resolution time

How to adopt:

- This behavior is enabled by default for existing retailers where the fulfilment node ID already matches the store ID, and for all new retailer tenants moving forward.
- For existing retailers requiring custom Fulfilment Node IDs, the current behavior will remain unchanged and is controlled via an internal list.

If you require fulfillment node IDs that differ from store IDs, this feature does not apply. Contact your Omnichannel Success Manager for support.

*Release Date***:** July 17, 2025

**Hourly automatic rerouting for on-hold orders (insufficient inventory)**

Automatic rerouting now proactively attempts to re-route on-hold orders (due to insufficient inventory) once per hour. Previously, rerouting occurred only when a positive ATP change was detected.

With this update, rerouting will occur:

- Hourly, even if ATP has not changed
- When a positive ATP change is detected

Why this change is important:

This enhancement improves timely fulfillment for eligible orders by accounting for changes beyond inventory updates, including:

- Store capacity updates
- Stores becoming unblocked or re-enabled
- Resolution of fulfillment constraints that are unrelated to ATP

How to adopt:

- If you are already using automatic rerouting, no further action is required. The hourly behavior will apply automatically.
- If you are not yet using automatic rerouting, see these pages for more details:
  - [About order routing → Optional automatic rerouting](https://docs.newstore.com/docs/about-order-routing#optional-automatic-rerouting)
  - [Monitoring orders → Automatically routing on-hold orders](https://docs.newstore.com/v1/docs/monitoring-orders#automatically-routing-on-hold-orders)
  - [Configuring order routing settings](https://docs.newstore.com/docs/configuring-order-routing-settings#enabling-order-routing-features)

To enable automatic rerouting, use the [Automatic Rerouting configuration API](https://docs.newstore.net/api/configuration/inventory-fulfillment/logistic_order_config/#operation/get-reroute-to-rejected-fulfillment-nodes).

## Jun 2025

**External identifier EPC emitted during purchases in the app or returns**

*Release Date: Jun 30, 2025*

NewStore now emits the external identifier EPC (Electronic Product Code) when:

- In-store purchase orders are created by scanning the QR code on RFID product tags (that include the EPC). This EPC value appears in the `order.created` event. See the [Event Stream Configuration API](https://docs.newstore.net/api/webhooks/stream_webhook_sink_hook/).
- Products that were sold or fulfilled by scanning the QR code on RFID product tags (that include the EPC), and are returned. This EPC value appears in the `return.processed` event. See the [Event Stream Configuration API](https://docs.newstore.net/api/webhooks/stream_webhook_sink_hook/).

**Default order ID is used if external order identifier sequence is not configured**

*Release Date: Jun 5, 2025*

When setting up NewStore, if the order sequence for the external order Identifier is not set, a default ID using UUID v7 will be assigned. Once the sequence is configured, orders will stop using this default ID. See [Basic platform configuration](https://docs.newstore.com/docs/basic-platform-configuration#order-id-sequence).

**External identifier epc emitted when orders fulfilled**

*Release Date: Jun 4, 2025*

When orders are fulfilled by scanning the QR code on RFID product tags (that include the Electronic Product Code (EPC)), the system now emits the external identifier **epc**. The value appears in the `order.serial_numbers_added` event when the order is handed over to the carrier or customer. See [Event Stream Configuration API](https://docs.newstore.net/api/webhooks/stream_webhook_sink_hook/).

## May 2025

**New event in Event Stream for customer profile updates**

*Release Date:* *May 12, 2025*

A new event `order.customer_profile_amended` is now part of the NewStore Event Stream. This event ensures that third-party systems receive real-time updates when the customer profile linked to an order is modified. It is triggered when an order’s customer profile is updated and GraphQL queries will now return the **latest** customer profile instead of the one that was added to the order during order placement.

Any existing Event Stream integration that subscribes to all events will automatically receive this event starting **May** **12,** **2025**.

To enable this event via Omnichannel Manager, go to the `Event Stream` > `Orders` > `customer_profile_amended` , or use the [Event Stream Configuration API](https://docs.newstore.net/api/webhooks/stream_webhook_sink_hook/).

## April 2025

**Receipt Updates for Spain**

*Release Date: April 22, 2025*

NewStore now supports enhanced receipt generation capabilities for retailers operating in Spain, allowing the issuance of both Factura Simplificada (Simplified Invoice) and Factura Completa (Complete Invoice). This enhancement aids retailers in their compliance with Spanish fiscal regulations and provides greater flexibility in receipt management. Retailers already operating stores in Spain must complete the required fiscal activation for each store through the NewStore Omnichannel Manager. Refer to our [documentation](https://docs.newstore.com/docs/about-internationalization) for detailed instructions on enabling and configuring this feature.

## February 2025

**Increased event replays to 60 days**

*Release Date: Feb 10, 2025*

Events generated in the NewStore platform within the last 60 days can now be replayed freely. This extends the time window for resolving synchronization issues. By allowing at least 60 days to replay events, this should provide enough time to discover, understand, and then replay missing events before the window of replayability is closed.

## January 2025

**Worldline Payments Support**

*Release date: Jan 27, 2025*

NewStore now supports Worldline as a POS payment provider in Europe. This integration enhances the NewStore POS system by enabling seamless cash-and-carry payment transactions, providing a reliable and efficient solution for in-store purchases. This integration leverages the Worldline payment gateway which enables support for multiple payment acquirer platforms in Europe. See the docs for configuration guidance.

*Requires Associate App v1.59.0 or higher.*

**Full count and selling strategy**

*Release date: Jan 21, 2025*

NewStore advises against selling when performing a full count. However, if a retailer chooses to continue selling during the count, the newly introduced **Full Count Strategy** configuration ensures that the platform will compare the counted quantities with either the initial expected stock on hand or the updated expected stock on hand quantities, depending on when the store is open to shoppers. See the docs on [configuration](https://docs.newstore.net/api/integration/inventory-management/inventory_manager_api/#tag/Configuration).

## October 2024

**Cash rounding now applied to cash refunds**

*Release date: Oct 07, 2024*

Cash refunds in regions where cash rounding is enabled will now follow the same rounding logic that has been implemented for the sales flow.

This feature is available across **all** Associate App versions.

## September 2024

**Templates renderer now uses a default CSS as a fallback mechanism**

*Release date*: Sep 24, 2024

The template renderer will now fall back to the default stylesheet and font if the customer-provided one cannot be fetched from an external resource. For more information, see [Customizing a template](/v1/docs/managing-templates#customizing-a-template).

## August 2024

**Expanded image support for clienteling**

Clienteling chat conversations now support PNG images in addition to JPEG, offering associates greater flexibility in sharing product visuals, enhancing conversations, and boosting engagement.

This feature is available across **all** Associate App versions.

## July 2024

**Tax exemptions available in Italy**

*Release date*: July 31, 2024

Italian laws require that tax exemption codes for each exempt item be declared at checkout and printed on the receipt by fiscal printers. Retailers in Italy can now apply tax exemptions, offering tax relief to specific groups, such as diplomats or in special economic zones, thus enhancing customer satisfaction and ensuring tax compliance.

Retailers can configure the tax exemption categories and codes to comply with these regulations and update them when they are revised by the tax authorities. For more information see [Tax exemptions in Italy](/v1/docs/fiscal-regulations-in-italy#tax-exemptions).

**Revamped customer profile screens**

*Feature release reminder*

This is a **reminder** to enable the new customer profile screens in Associate App. We revamped and enhanced the customer profile screens in Associate App earlier, part of a redesign process to make it easier for associates to find, create, and assign customers to a profile.

Enhancements include:

- *Direct Access*: Access customer profiles from the cart, or when creating a customer that already exists.
- *Streamlined Creation*: Auto-populate fields when creating new profiles from the Search screen.
- *Simplified Address Management*: Create, update, or delete customer addresses quickly.
- *Enhanced Scanning Capability*: The app scanner can identify customer information from scanned codes.
- *Quick Assignment*: Assign customers to a cart directly from the search results.
- *Phone Number Validation*: Ensure accurate phone number formats (E.164).
- *Flexible Naming Formats*: Support both first and last name fields, as well as a single full name field.
- *Customization Opportunities*: Customize customer profiles to fit your specific needs, such as
  - *Field Creation*: Create fields like customer notes, birthday dates, and loyalty ID for clienteling.
  - *Webviews Integration*: Leverage webviews for greater flexibility and individual needs, such as displaying additional customer details or integrating with your eCommerce platform or CRM systems.

> [!NOTE]
> Important
> 
> All future enhancements and new features will be developed **exclusively** for the new screens. To enable the new customer profile screens, see [Enabling new customer profile screens](/v1/docs/configuring-ui-settings-in-newstore-associate-app#enabling-new-customer-profile-screens).

**Enhanced features in Customer API v2**

*Enhanced support for customer name fields*

If needed, retailers can keep using the `first_name` and `last_name` fields instead of switching to the `full_name` field when migrating to [Customer API v2](https://docs.p.newstore.partners/#/typescript/customers).

See the [migration guide](/v1/docs/migrating-from-customer-profile-api-v0-to-v2) for more details.

*Enhanced phone number validation*

Feature release reminder

Customer API v2 now includes an enhanced phone number validation feature. This validation ensures the accuracy, reach, and quality of customer data by conforming to the E.164 standard, which requires a `+` sign followed by the country code and the national number.

See [Phone numbers](/v1/docs/migrating-from-customer-profile-api-v0-to-v2#phone-numbers).

This will also affect imported orders where phone numbers for new customers are automatically converted to the E.164 format with 99.93% accuracy. The remaining invalid entries are saved in an extended attribute of the customer profile. See [Customer profile](/v1/docs/importing-orders#customer-profile).

**Enhanced Offline Mode support in fiscal countries**

Release date: July 10, 2024

NewStore now supports fiscalizing offline orders in select fiscal countries. Retailers operating in fiscal countries can now configure their fiscalization signing strategy for offline orders in supported fiscal countries. The fiscalization strategies can now be configured via the Omnichannel Manager, for more information check the `Manage Offline Mode Settings In Fiscal Countries` section in the [Omnichannel Manager updates](/v1/docs/omnichannel-manager-updates#july-2024).

**Minnesota retail delivery fee**

Release date: July 1, 2024

NewStore now provides support for the retail delivery fee imposed on eligible deliveries that are shipped to an address in Minnesota, USA. This fee is automatically provided by the tax provider and displayed on the receipt for the order.

## March 2024

**Exporting product and pricebook data**

Retailers can now export product and pricebook data into CSV files that are available offline for reconciliation or validation. See [Exporting product data](/v1/docs/importing-data#exporting-product-data) and [Exporting pricebook data](/v1/docs/importing-data#exporting-pricebook-data).

## February 2024

**Multiple identity providers for external identity information**

Retailers can now configure multiple external identity providers via the `external_integration` > `post_login_callback_urls` property in the [Associate App configuration api](https://docs.newstore.net/api/configuration/apps/associate-app-config-api_config#tag/Associate-App-retailer-configuration/operation/putConfig) to call specific URLs and retrieve external identity information in a response payload.

For more information, see [Example payload and response](/v1/docs/configuring-loyalty-rewards-on-associate-app#example-payload-and-response).

**Taxes breakdown improvement**

Associates can view the breakdown of taxes for orders and items in the order in Associate App without having the new [tax exemption functionality enabled](/v1/docs/configuring-tax-calculation-settings#enabling-tax-exemption-in-the-app). For more information, see [Displaying tax breakdown for an order](/v1/docs/using-newstore-associate-app#displaying-tax-breakdown-for-an-order).

**Receipts improvement**

The QR code in receipts now include a `Powered by NewStore` text to help identify orders generated by the NewStore platform, and socialize the brand with retailers and associates better.

## January 2024

**Custom address completion in Associate App**

Retailers can now use a new customization feature in Associate App to use their preferred location or address provider (such as `Google Maps` or `AWS Location Service`) for address completion in the app. This is exclusive of the default `Apple Mapkit` location provider services that the app uses by default to complete addresses.

For more information, see [Configuring custom address completion](/v1/docs/configuring-custom-address-completion#app-address-completion-customization).

**Tax breakdown in Associate App**

When the new tax exemption functionality [is enabled](/v1/docs/configuring-tax-calculation-settings#enabling-tax-exemption-in-the-app) for your business, associates can view the breakdown of taxes for orders and items in the order in Associate App. See [Displaying tax breakdown for an order](/v1/docs/using-newstore-associate-app#displaying-tax-breakdown-for-an-order).

**Fiscal support in India**

Retailers can now operate in India, compliant with the fiscal requirements in the country. This includes:

- Generating consecutive receipt numbers to be printed on sales, return, and exchange receipts
- Splitting exchanges into separate sale and return fiscal transactions to create two distinct receipts in exchange templates.

## September 2023

**Third-party promotion engine**

Retailers can now use a third-party promotion engine to set up and manage discounts and promotions in their business. The discounts and promotions you set up in the third-party promotion engine are applied to the order or cart in Associate App automatically.

> [!NOTE]
> Important
> 
> You cannot use the native promotion engine at NewStore if you decide to use a third-party promotion engine to manage your discounts and promotions.

For more information, see [Integrating a third-party promotion engine](/v1/docs/integrating-a-third-party-promotion-engine#integ-tppe).

**Single Sign-On self-service**

NewStore has now enabled retailers to set up Single Sign-On (SSO) for access and management of NewStore apps and authentication through your preferred identity provider via self-service.

> [!TIP]
> Note
> 
> NewStore currently supports these identity providers: Google, Okta or Microsoft.

After configuration, your users can log into the NewStore apps using their existing accounts from one of the above service providers. This change does not affect the current login experience for your users.

For more information on configuring and managing SSO, see this [guide](/developers/guides/identity-management-integration#sso).

**API Client Self-Service**

API Client self-service is a new process of accessing NewStore APIs. It uses industry best practices and makes connecting to our API methods easier and safer. To get started, follow the process documentation [here](https://docs.p.newstore.partners/#/http/getting-started/newstore-rest-api/authorization).

**Sales metrics in Associate App**

> [!TIP]
> Note
> 
> - This is an `Early Access` version of the `Sales Dashboard` feature so expect some enhancements in the upcoming releases.
> - Retailers can **only** enable the `Sales Dashboard` globally across all the stores in their business, and not for individual stores.

Associates in the store can now view detailed metrics on sales and business performance in the `Sales Dashboard` within Associate App. The dashboard automatically displays data for the current day based on the store's local timezone. The dashboard also allows associates and store managers to view the sales performance of their store.

Currently, the dashboard has been enabled for all retailers in their `Staging` environment for testing and training purposes. To view the sales dashboard, in Associate App, tap `Selling` > `More` > `Sales Dashboard`.

The sales dashboard is configured and ready to be activated on your production environment as a customization component. You can choose when to enable it for your business, see [Using NewStore Associate App for sales metrics](/v1/docs/using-newstore-associate-app-for-sales-metrics#assoapp-sales-dashboards).

### August 2023

**Tax exemption improvements**

Retailers can now configure custom tax exemption class mappings, which allows them to exempt certain taxes by creating custom tax rules with tax providers ([Avalara AvaTax](https://cdn.document360.io/c2d22fcd-a44b-4e1e-bf3a-84f0ffba0dbe/Images/Documentation/calculations.html?sv=2022-11-02&spr=https&st=2024-09-27T08%3A59%3A43Z&se=2024-09-27T09%3A14%3A43Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=rJwpMtqKp49zciEbDyCM2MfmnSjonx7yHF%2FqT%2BLSrZE%3D?sv=2022-11-02&spr=https&st=2024-09-27T09%3A13%3A34Z&se=2024-09-27T09%3A28%3A34Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=F6EINk2RubZrBzfyFuRIZBQx02hh0MlsbAC22kv%2BQaY%3D?sv=2022-11-02&spr=https&st=2024-09-27T09%3A36%3A17Z&se=2024-09-27T09%3A51%3A17Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=vaiImJfgWnrhI56fCxqEto7Y2niXoGl1ZyMGtDhu%2FIo%3D?sv=2022-11-02&spr=https&st=2024-09-27T09%3A43%3A26Z&se=2024-09-27T09%3A58%3A26Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=DaHIFOGJ682mwtLMRwaTwlNJTVkvNy0axA7D2DQa6JY%3D?sv=2022-11-02&spr=https&st=2024-10-01T12%3A30%3A51Z&se=2024-10-01T12%3A45%3A51Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=USb8qQSqIn2delIpQSaFN1TurR0Nh7MjdooQJQsDQFA%3D?sv=2022-11-02&spr=https&st=2024-10-16T09%3A35%3A15Z&se=2024-10-16T09%3A50%3A15Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=44uk3uKhsFLXSkAsOk7v4JZQAO7rsz3ILKhF%2B0wSj5w%3D?sv=2022-11-02&spr=https&st=2024-11-13T12%3A56%3A49Z&se=2024-11-13T13%3A11%3A49Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=vF69BdLNe7a1nl9Yvktb1aUbbClnJa6fFWXyIhafrEw%3D?sv=2022-11-02&spr=https&st=2024-11-13T12%3A57%3A52Z&se=2024-11-13T13%3A12%3A52Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=7CDKFqdb5wkg9V61yDpkdcf4cnJWy5RLghhoVbdKWoQ%3D) or [Vertex](https://vertexinc.com/)). For more information on enabling the new tax exemption functionality and setting up tax exemption class mapping for a tax provider, see the [new tax exemption configuration guide](/v1/docs/configuring-tax-calculation-settings#enabling-tax-exemption-in-the-app).

Retailers can also retrieve the tax exemption information by using the [Taxes Integration API](https://docs.newstore.net/api/integration/f11n-taxes/taxes_integration). For more information on retrieving the tax exemption information, see the [tax information retrieval guide](/v1/docs/retrieving-tax-information#integ-tax-information).

**New fulfillment routing configuration**

You can now use 2 new APIs, the [Routing ruleset](https://docs.newstore.net/api/integration/delivery/routing_ruleset_api) API and [Service levels](https://docs.newstore.net/api/integration/delivery/service_levels_api) API to set up your fulfillment configuration. This new version of fulfillment configuration gives you more flexibility around updating or tweaking your fulfillment strategy, with efficient usage of location groups and zip code regions.

> [!TIP]
> Note
> 
> You will still need to use the [legacy fulfillment configuration API](https://docs.newstore.net/api/integration/order-management/newstore_ff_config_api) to set up provider rates and their priority.

For more information, see the [tutorial](/v1/docs/tutorial-setting-up-a-fulfillment-configuration#tutorial_fulfillment-config-new).

**Support for Tap to Pay on iPhone in the UK**

NewStore now supports using `Tap to Pay on iPhone` as a payment method in the UK. Customers can now use this payment method to pay for orders during the checkout process in Associate App in stores in the UK.

For more information, see [Setting up Tap to Pay on iPhone](/v1/docs/setting-up-tap-to-pay-on-iphone#config-aa-taptopay).

### June 2023

**Puerto Rico fiscal support**

As part of improved internationalization support, retailers can now operate on the NewStore platform in Puerto Rico, in compliance with the fiscal regulations from the tax agency in Puerto Rico.

### May 2023

**NewStore supports custom tax calculations**

NewStore partners with leading tax providers that specialize in tax compliance, so the retailers can efficiently manage their taxes. However, if the retail business opts not to use Avalara and Vertex, our custom tax provider enables the retailer to calculate taxes and transmit the information back to NewStore during the checkout process.

**NewStore supports AvaTax API v2 connector**

All retailers using Avalara have been migrated on AvaTax API v2 connector automatically. For retailers with custom implementations of AvaTax API v1 interface, the tax strategy configuration has been updated from `avalara` to `custom`. No further action is needed as your implementations will be fully operational.

For more information, see [Configuring settings for Avalara integration](/v1/docs/configuring-tax-calculation-settings#configuring-settings-for-avalara-integration) and also the [Tax calculation API](https://docs.newstore.net/api/configuration/f11n-taxes/taxes_config).

### March 2023

**Automatic promotions are now excluded from manager approval**

Like coupons, associates now do not need an explicit approval in Associate App for automatic promotions to be applied.

For more information, see [Managing order approvals](/v1/docs/using-newstore-associate-app#managing-order-approvals).

### January 2023

**Gift card cashout and balance checks**

Retailers can now enable associates to check the available balance on a gift card and offer a cashout amount to customers against the gift card balance via Associate App. See [Cashing out a gift card](/v1/docs/using-newstore-associate-app#cashing-out-a-gift-card).

These gift card cashout transactions are also displayed in Omnichannel Manager in payment transaction reports. See [Monitoring cash transactions](/v1/docs/managing-store-operations#monitoring-cash-transactions).

**Capacity-based routing**

Retailers can now specify capacity-based routing limits for orders to be fulfilled by stores, allowing stores to not be overwhelmed with orders and missing delivery expectations. For example, you can decide to route orders for fulfillment to stores only during the open hours of business, such as from 8 am till 6 pm.

This feature allows retailers to control how much time associates spend fulfilling orders in the store, and monitor fulfillment operations across stores in their business. For more information, see

[Managing capacity-based routing for stores](/v1/docs/managing-capacity-based-routing-for-stores#routing-based-capacity-stores).

**Warehouse returns**

Retailers can now override the static return fee when using the [warehouse returns API](https://docs.newstore.net/api/integration/order-management/item_return_v1_api/). This allows changing the return value for things like large item returns that require special handling, or items returned in used condition.

## Deprecation notices

Contains information about product deprecation notices from NewStore.

### Sept 2023

**Deprecation of NewStore Fulfillment App**

### May 2023

**Deprecation of the PUT tenant tax configurations v1 API**

The tenant tax configuration replacement function through the PUT API has been deprecated and is not supported anymore by NewStore. Similar function can be performed through the [PATCH Partially update tenant configuration](https://docs.newstore.net/api/configuration/f11n-taxes/taxes_config#tag/Tenant-configuration/operation/updateTenantConfig) method.

### April 2023

**End of Life Notice for NewStore Customer Profile v0 API**

[Customer Profile API "v0"](https://docs.newstore.net/api/integration/customer/consumer_profile_api) will reach the End of Live (EOL) by **1 December 2023**. Ensure that you update your integrations to use the newer version of the API before that date.

After the EOL date, the "v0" API will no longer be available and requests made to it will fail. We recommend using the latest stable version of the API to ensure the best performance and compatibility with our platform.

You can find the latest stable version (`v1`) of the API in the [API documentation](https://docs.newstore.net/api/integration/customer/consumer_profile_api_v1/).

For more information about the changes and improvements introduced in the newer API version(s), refer to the API documentation and the migration guide.

If you have any questions or concerns, contact the [support team](https://help.newstore.com) or your point of contact at NewStore.

### March 2023

**End of Life Notice for NewStore Checkout with Web Drop-in**

The web drop-in version of NewStore Checkout **will be deprecated at the end of Q1, 31 March 2023**. NO new functionalities will be added to the NewStore Checkout version that uses the web drop-in configuration. Critical bug fixes will be addressed depending on each case.

Existing customers who are currently using the existing web drop-in configuration can do so until 30 September 2023, after which it is EOL for existing configurations, and NewStore will offer no further support.

We recommend switching to the updated NewStore Checkout version using Adyen Pay by Link immediately. Follow the instructions in [this guide](/v1/docs/setting-up-newstore-checkout-with-adyen-pay-by-link#integ-newstore-checkout) to migrate to the new version of NewStore Checkout.
