Digital channels: online storefronts and personalized web experiences.

Physical stores: point-of-Sale (POS) functionality for cashiers and in-store operations.

Back-office systems in one place: integration with finance, inventory, distributed order management, and supply chain management.

It enables retailers to scale rapidly without worrying that their front-end sales channels will become disconnected from their core financials and logistics systems.

General availability of offline mode: this release adds further hardening to the offline capabilities introduced in Commerce version 10.0.45 and includes CSU CORS support, enabling Store Commerce with iOS offline to connect to CSU out of the box.

Skipping automatic gift card check: administrators can now disable the automatic balance check for gift cards at the POS terminal. This helps maintain security policies by avoiding the temporary storage of gift card numbers, which require a PIN entry even for swiped cards.

Postponed payment: retail associates can now create customer orders in-store and provide customers with a payment link to complete the purchase remotely. This keeps the sale attributed to the store and the associate (for commissions) while allowing the customer to pay later.

Secure call center orders: call center users can also generate secure payment links for customers. This eliminates the need for customers to read sensitive card details over the phone, enhancing security and enabling the use of modern payment methods such as digital wallets.

Processing critical Adyen notifications: the Commerce notification service can now receive and process critical asynchronous payment notifications from Adyen (such as disputes, capture failures, and reports), allowing implementation partners to build custom logic for these events.

Asynchronous e-commerce payments: e-commerce checkouts can now utilize asynchronous payment processing. This is crucial for modern payment methods that send a delayed success/failure notification, ensuring orders are created even if the customer’s web browser closes prematurely.

Microsoft Entra External ID enablement: due to the end of sale for Azure Active Directory B2C, Dynamics 365 Commerce now supports Microsoft Entra External ID for all new deployments, ensuring a modern, secure, and scalable Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) experience. While existing Azure AD B2C tenants are supported until May 2030, no new features will be developed for the legacy system.

Purge log and error Files: a new configuration option has been added to the Purge Commerce sales transactions dialogue. This allows administrators to delete old log and error files while retaining the actual transaction records, helping manage storage space as logs grow.

Simplified extension SQL script generation: a new tool now generates the necessary SQL script for database extensions on the Scheduler Subjobs page. This simplifies adding extensions to the channel database, helping optimize performance and preventing common data synchronization errors.

Streamlined unified pricing management migration: a non-configurable migration script is now available to help companies more easily transition their pricing data into the new Unified Pricing Management framework.
