B2B, API, Storefront

1. Checkout & API Improvements

  • DEVDOCS-6341 | Checkout - Enhanced Checkout URL

Apps or AI agents can use the Checkout URL format to create a new cart, add products, and direct a shopper to your BigCommerce storefront’s checkout.

To support a wider range of use cases, the order_taxes.tax_rate_id (int) is now deprecated and will be removed in the near future. Please update to use the order_taxes.sales_tax_id (string) field.

2. B2B Features & Theme Location

DEVDOCS-6241 - Content Refresh - “Address” (S2S)

  • DEVDOCS-6245 - S2S Payments content refresh

  • DEVDOCS-6250 - Content Refresh - “Users” (S2S)

  • DEVDOCS-6253 - Content Refresh - “Orders” (Storefront)

  • As part of our ongoing content refresh for B2B Edition developer documentation, we’ve fully refreshed the documentation. This includes:

New, thorough descriptive copy

  • Request body examples with relevant fields

  • Inclusion of previously-missing fields for all endpoints

  • Theme location

DEVDOCS-6395 - Create article to host B2B Edition theme location information

Added missing theme file name to the B2B element found in /templates/pages/order-confirmation.html

3. Control Panel GraphQL Update

To enhance security, we’ve removed the ability to create a control panel user account with password via GraphQL. Users can still be added to an account using the non-password linked mutation.

4. Billing and Channels

  • DEVDOCS-6442 - proration update for UB

We’ve adjusted the way cancellation is managed for unified billing so that cancellations post-trial and pre-billing cycle will be prorated instead of preventing cancellation.

Updated channel docs to include the microsoft platform with type marketing
