This scheduled job (Export product feed incrementally) keeps Episerver Personalization up-to-date with product changes without exporting the entire catalog. Because this job only exports added/updated products, it provides better performance and is faster than the Full Export Catalog Feed job. So, it can be run more frequently. But, the incremental job does not replace the Full Export Catalog Feed job because it excludes the deletion of products and edits to asset and inventory information.
When working with discounts, merchandisers can exclude specific catalog items, categories, or catalog entries from a discount. The exclusion applies only to that discount.
Manage shipping addresses [Update 257 - Commerce 13.0.0] Ability to choose among existing shipping addresses, or create a new one, from the cart view. A new address is saved to the current customer's Address Book.
Take payments [Update 271 - Commerce 13.4.0] You can take an order payment (including manual payments.) This does not include payment methods that redirect to 3rd party page.
When searching for existing carts, you choose a market then search for customers who have a cart in that market.
When creating a new cart, you choose a market.
The Cart Details screen displays the market and default currency.
Purchase orders include the market and default currency.

CSR UI: Client-side routing (Beta) [Update 288 - Commerce 13.10.0] Added support for client-side routing. When navigating in a single page application, the address bar should be updated to match the navigation. This provides multiple benefits, including:
The ability to use the back/forward browser commands to navigate in the CSR UI.
The ability to take the url to a specific view (e.g., a link to an open cart), and send it to another user. That user can open the link to get to the cart.
On the Customer Management screen, a customer's profile provides access to his/her orders.
An Orders item appears on the left menu
The customer order history is sorted by "Created Date" descending.
Paging is supported
In the Products column, if the text is too long (around 120 characters), first show long product names then the remaining number of products in order
CSR UI: Redesign Order Detail screen [Update 291 - Commerce 13.12.0] The Customer Service screen (CSRUI) has been redesigned to more closely resemble Commerce Manager and make it easier to use.

CSR UI: Viewing order returns [Update 299 - Commerce 13.15.0] You can view all order returns and the details of each return. The returns list shows this information:
return number

CSR UI: Create Return authorization [Update 305 - Commerce 13.16.0] Using the Order management screen, you can create a return authorization to support customers' ability to return items.
Re-work rounding strategy in calculators [Update 257 - Commerce 13.0.0] A new API converts the currency of a Money type and returns full precision value.
Ability to extend OrderStatus/OrderShipmentStatus [Update 257 - Commerce 13.0.0] The default order and shipment statuses are defined as Enum(s), so partners could not previously extend them. Now, statuses are classes, so customers can register ones they use.
Ability to control edit access to individual catalogs and categories from the edit view, in the same way as for CMS. See the Episerver User Guide.
You can opt out of change approval notifications, to avoid receiving notifications for example when catalogs are imported. See the Episerver User Guide.
This feature lets merchandisers sort items within a category to change the display of products in the catalog.
If a visitor clicks on a recommended product, a click tracking request is sent to the recommendation system. This is similar to product tracking request, but it contains information about the click, which improves recommendation results.
The order management has been improved by better search (wildcard support), date filtering, and filter-by-market support. It is also possible to preview orders while browsing.
Define multiple warehouses and physical store locations from the user interface, and manage stock figures for product variants (SKUs) in these locations. You can accommodate multiple stock locations by defining multiple warehouses and inventories, and show product availability across all of these.
You can now add customer groups including both contacts and organizations. Both pricing and promotions that are targeted to specific contacts and organizations can be inherited by using customer groups.
