Advanced Debug View: Explain Every Ranking Decision with Confidence
We are excited to introduce the Advanced Debug View, a powerful new capability that brings full transparency and explainability to how products are ranked across Search and Browse experiences.
Instead of relying on guesswork or raw metadata, Advanced Debug View transforms complex ranking signals into a clear, story-driven dashboard, showing exactly which algorithms influenced a product’s rank and by how much. This makes it easier than ever to understand why a product appears where it does.
What This Means for You
- Clear visibility into AI-driven ranking decisions.
- Faster debugging and optimization of search and browse results.
- Greater confidence when explaining ranking behavior to internal teams and customers.

A Smoother, A Smarter Product Configuration Mapping Experience
We have made the Website Preview experience faster, cleaner, and far less disruptive with an exciting enhancement to the Product Configuration Mapping (PCM) flow.
What’s New: You can now mark variant-level fields as Not Present, perfect for catalogs where key attributes like Title or Price are intentionally managed at the parent product level.
Why This Matters:
Earlier, the PCM modal would keep popping up when variant fields were empty—even when that was by design. Now, you can clearly signal intent, skip unnecessary interruptions, and stay focused on what matters most.
The Win for You
- Fewer pop-ups, smoother previews
- Built for real-world catalog structure
- Faster setup, better control, zero friction
This update ensures your Website Preview flows effortlessly, just the way modern merchandising should.
Product Badging on Product Cards!
Product Badging introduces a powerful visual merchandising layer that lets you showcase key product attributes as badges directly on product cards, making it easier for shoppers to spot what matters most in Search and Browse results.
Designed for dense result grids, badges like New, Brand, or Marquee help products stand out instantly, improving scanability and guiding faster decision-making. All updates are reflected in the Product Card Preview in real time, so you can see the impact immediately.
