Improving Integration and fixes for Orders and Payments

Release

Author:

Kirill Gaiduk

Changed on:

4 July 2024

Target release date:2024-07-08
Release status:Released

Description

Explore a number of improvements that significantly enhance and optimize integrations:

  • Ensure accurate destinations for courier services by specifying
    `street2`
    for Return Orders, Fulfillments, and Billing Accounts, eliminating the risk of invalid address failures in return label booking.
  • Adapt your return processes to digital product specificity with an email address available for the Return entities mentioned above, bringing address information consistency within the Order domain.

📖 Get step-by-step instructions for Return Order creation with an extended address in the Configuration Guide.

  • Store and update a Fulfillment Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) in the way you need for any scenarios when the standard pattern
    `\d*([H|D]?)`
    is not applicable, using the complete flexibility to meet any specific requirements.
    This restriction removal is a fully backward-compatible change, and as previously, the data transformations will be executed for all the ETA inputs following the reference format.
  • Create Orders across multiple Retailers with a single integration user, simplifying and accelerating cross-retailer order management and related integrations. Previously, the Order creation was tied to the particular primary Retailer of the user.
  • And fixes for:
    • Overwriting of existing Payment entity attributes via the Update Payment mutation.
      Now, the original attributes not specified in the update request remain untouched and will not be lost, ensuring a consistent update mutation behaviour.
    • Financial Transactions created as part of the Create Order mutation now contain workflow Reference and Version essential for GraphQL operations, leading to equal to Create Financial Transaction mutation behavior.
    • Data fetching errors while using
      `createNetwork`
      mutation
      with multiple Retailers input, eliminating duplicated entities in the response.
    • Concurrency issue when multiple
      `NO_MATCH`
      Events are sent to the same Workflow at the same time. 

Changelog

Returns Module

  • The Address has been extended with
    `street2`
    and
    `email`
    for Return Order, Return Fulfillment, and Billing Account entities at Database and GraphQL levels.

Order Domain

  • `eta`
    field validation by
    `\d*([H|D]?)`
    pattern has been removed for the Fulfillments, allowing to set it as a date or use other formats.
  • The GraphQL API has been extended to allow creating Orders independent of the primary Retailer of the user creating the Order. Previously, Orders could only be created for the user's primary Retailer.

Bug Fixes (Mutations and Orchestration Engine(Rubix))

  • `updatePayment`
    mutation
    has been fixed to merge attributes instead of overwriting.
  • `createOrder`
    mutation
    has been extended to add
    `workflowRef`
    and
    `workflowVersion`
    to the Financial Transactions created. 
  • `createNetwork`
    mutation
    with multiple Retailers input and the related GraphQL queries (
    `network`
    ,
    `networks`
    ,
    `networkById`
    , and
    `retailerById`
    ) have been fixed to eliminate duplicated Network entities while fetching data.
  • `NO_MATCH`
    Events concurrency issue has been fixed with a new array initialization, eliminating the simultaneous contrary operations against the same data array.
