uStore – What’s New
Version 18.0
Released September 29, 2024 | Watch a short video overview | See uStore release notes
Introducing Easy Upload: A new product type
We’re excited to introduce a brand-new product type in our online store—Easy Upload. This new product type allows shoppers to effortlessly upload their own files directly from the storefront. Once uploaded, users can set print properties like lamination, paper size, and binding type, while enjoying a real-time preview of their document as they apply these settings.
Documents can be set to be preflight validated after upload.
General enhancements
- Billing and shipping:
- Shoppers can now add an email address to both the billing and shipping addresses during the checkout process.
- We’ve added the ability to include EORI and Tax ID numbers in billing and shipping addresses. These distinct identification numbers are essential for international trade and e-commerce within the European Union.
This option is configured in the Store Setup > Delivery Settings tab.
- The phone and fax numbers can now be displayed in the receipt.
- uStore now supports the use of secure PDFs in Composite products, provided they permit viewing and printing.
The following PDFs are not accepted:- PDFs that require a password to open.
- PDFs that restrict printing.
- Note that the “ByPassPdfSecurityOnPrintOrEdit” key is no longer supported.
Dynamic product enhancements
- Store administrators can set the resolution of the product preview to “Auto,” allowing the system to automatically calculate the optimal online display resolution based on the InDesign document size.
This feature is available for dynamic products using PersonalEffect version 13.1.1 or higher.
The preview can be set to “Auto” in the Proof section of the product’s setup page. - Store administrators can now configure how the image editor opens: manually by the user with a click of a button, automatically upon image upload or selection, or only if the selected image is invalid and needs to be fixed.
- It is now possible zoom out of an image in the image editor in order to fit the entire image into the frame.
Widgets (beta)
Introducing new ready-to-use widgets, which can be downloaded and added into the storefront.
These widgets offer enhanced flexibility, including the ability to:
- Replace the Aqua-Blue Homepage banner.
- Add a dynamic featured-products carousel.
- Embed custom HTML code on NG pages for greater flexibility.
Start upgrading your store’s functionality with these new tools.

Version 17.2
Released June 16, 2024 | Watch a short video overview | See uStore release notes
Backoffice enhancements
In this release, we have introduced a series of back office improvements and additional features to uStore, aimed at enhancing functionality and improving efficiency:
- Now, even if you’ve made changes to a product before taking it offline, you will not loose your changes. You can edit an online product and then take it offline directly from its editing pages (such as pricing, properties setup and delivery), rather than have to go back to the main product page to take it offline and lose your edits.
- When defining the gallery list or grid control, there is no longer a need to set a default value.
- In the list of global product properties, filters have been added to the Name and Control Type columns to help narrow down search for the required product property.
- The Order Approval Process is now supported in B2C stores.
- The Excel Pricing file now includes the ProfileID field (in the General Inputs area). It displays the the profile ID (if such exists) related to the current product.
- Two new slots for placing widgets in the User menu have been added in the Theme editor. These slots are located at the top and bottom of this menu.
UI enhancements
Several UI enhancements have been implemented in uStore, designed to improve your overall experience and streamline your workflow:
- In the shopping cart, you can now easily see what’s inside a kit. We’ve added a handy “Included Products” link that opens a tooltip displaying all the products included in the kit.
- NG stores now display the step description, as defined in the Customization Wizard > Step Details page.
- When creating a dynamic product (set with single-page flow), thumbnails are now automatically generated. If there are more than 10 images, bullets will be displayed instead.
- The image selector now supports PNG image assets, including PNG transparency, also in XLIM.
New offering
- This update now supports SMS touchpoints created in Circle, enhancing your Campaign on Demand products for more effective and direct customer engagement.
Technical enhancements
We’re pleased to introduce a series of technical enhancements designed to improve performance, security, and user experience:
- uStore streamlines the retrieval of output files by allowing customers to set a specific destination where output files are automatically downloaded. This eliminates the need to manually access a file system or download files individually from the UI. Files are initially copied to an S3 cloud environment, from where they can be downloaded using any S3 utility, and transferred to the local network for printing.
- FedEx integration has been updated. For more information, see Retirement of FedEx Web Services.
- NG theme developments are now available through HTTPS. Hybrid pages will not be available.
- Configuration management has been improved. Out-of-the-box Web.config parameters are now stored in the database for easier access and updates.
During installation, all out-of-the-box parameters will be automatically saved to the database with their default values. This eliminates the need to manually modify the Web.config file after each installation. These parameters can be found at the bottom of the Global Configuration table.
For any customized parameters you’ve made, you’ll need to update those values in Presets > System Setup > Global Configuration after installation.
Accessibility improvement
- We have enhanced our compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) by implementing accessibility features in the header and cookie ribbon areas of the storefront.
Security update
- The following clearing models have been deprecated:
- Moneris
- PayPal Payflow Pro
- No clearing, when set with the credit card collection method.
If you have been using these clearing methods, you can continue using them until September 2024.
XMPie strongly recommends you adopt other methods we support as soon as possible.

Released November 5, 2023 | Watch a short video overview | See uStore release notes
Dynamic product redesign for a better user experience
The dynamic product has been redesigned for a better, faster and visually appealing user experience in NG stores. The new layout offers a simplified, convenient and quick purchase process of dynamic products that use customization dials.
The new design allows the shopper to complete the product ordering process on a single page by selecting the new single-page flow option, making the customer experience much smoother.
The new design is applicable for simple dynamic products.
Automatic refresh of the preview
When editing a dynamic product, the preview can now update automatically following any customization change, so there is no need to click the “Refresh Preview” button. This is available in mobile as well.
It is also possible to set the resolution of the preview.
This option is set in the product’s set up page and is available only for products defined in the single-page flow.

Improved Gallery Image selector
The gallery image selector in the store has an improved look.
The gallery image selector allows users to select images from a gallery that the store administrator has predefined, from their own images that they uploaded previously, or select an image from the shopper’s device.
The images selector provides editing features for uploaded images, including scaling, cropping, flipping horizontally or vertically and rotation. This is also available for mobile.
Redesign of the shopping cart
The shopping cart has been redesigned with NG technology for an improved user experience.
An “Empty Cart” option has been added, allowing the shopper to empty the cart of all products at once.
If you have an NG store using custom logic in the cart page, you may need to recreate the logic in a custom theme.
Notification of number of items in cart
Customers now see how many items are in the shopping cart from anywhere in the store.
uStore Connect Enterprise store
A new store type, “uStore Connect Enterprise”, has been created.
Similarly to the “uStore Connect” store, this store can be integrated with third party applications. Customers are redirected from within their application to uStore for a flow which starts in the homepage and continues up until and including the cart, and are then directed back to the 3rd party application.
The “uStore Connect Enterprise” store enables to organize products in the cart by lists. Shoppers can create many lists, conveniently manage them, and transfer products between lists. Each list can then be exported to an external service.
This is not an out-of-the-box store type and you will need to purchase it separately.

Version 16.1
Released July 16, 2023 | Watch a short video overview | See uStore release notes
Widgets (beta)
Up until now, in order to enhance the functionality of the AquaBlue theme, you had to create a custom theme. For example, footer, promotional text or banner, could only be added by creating a custom theme. The Aqua Blue theme now comes with the option to add this information in the form of widgets, to be added to designated areas in the store.
You can either develop a widget or purchase from XMPie Professional Services the widget that matches your requirements. Read more

FreeFlow Core support
uStore supports the new version of Xerox FreeFlow Core – version 7.0.1.
Please refer to the FreeFlow Core release notes.
Version 15.3 – New manufacturer service
Released April 30, 2023 | Watch a short video overview | See uStore release notes
New manufacturer definition
uStore allows you to implement your business logic by assigning manufacturers to each order item in the shopping cart during checkout. This is done by creating a custom web service that applies logic to determine which manufacturer should be used for each product that is being ordered. This differs from the existing workflow, where the manufacturer definition was applied to the specific product.
Passing the manufacturer decision to a custom web service allows a programmer to set the manufacturer based on any aspect of the order. For example, the manufacturer closest to the shipping address of the order could be set, to provide faster and cheaper delivery; or the manufacturer could be selected based on the product’s properties, for example if some paper type finishing options are available only at specific manufacturers.

New uStore Back Office REST API
uStore Back Office REST API exposes uStore Back Office functionality via REST API calls.

Version 15.2 – New order approval method
Released February 5, 2023 | Watch a short video overview | See uStore release notes
New order approval method
The new order approval method allows you to tailor the approval process to match your specific business needs.
Using this method you can integrate an external service via a webhook. The external service controls which user group should approve each order submitted to a store. The webhook gets the order data and returns the required approval group for the submitted order.
In this way, many unique approval processes can be implemented, thus providing more flexibility to streamline your business.

Version 15.1
Released November 7, 2022 | Watch a short video overview | See uStore release notes
Change sequence of products
Previously, changing the sequence of products involved clicking up and down arrows many times. Now, with drag and drop the process is much faster and more intuitive.
You can also select multiple products and drag them together at the same time.
The shopper sees the new sequence in the Storefront.
Product search
When you have many products in different groups, it can be hard to find the product you wish to edit. It is now possible to search for products within all product groups.
A search can be done by product name, ID, catalog number or external ID.
Permission for REST API access
A new permission to access the uStore REST APIs has been added to the User Group page. By default, this permission is denied for all default uStore user groups.
When any REST API is called, the permission is verified. If no permission is granted, the API returns an error.
Installation of product updates
In the Updates area of uStore, you can now choose to install updates only for your current version, or, if a version upgrade is present, you can install all updates including the new version.
Improvement to trigger setup
Configuring triggers has been made easier. You now have more space when selecting stores, products or user groups, so that long names appear in full. You also have more reliable selection using checkboxes.
Version 15 – Property dependency using Excel pricing
Released August 1, 2022 | Watch a short video overview | See uStore release notes
Dependency between properties using Excel pricing in Static products
The Excel pricing file of a static product can now control the behavior of properties.
Using the Excel, you can control which options of a property are available to the shopper according to his/her selection. For example, when the shopper selects a silk page, which cannot be laminated, the glossy lamination option is removed.
Visibility of a property can also be controlled by the Excel, so that you can hide a property under certain conditions.
Lastly, the value selected by the shopper can be overridden by the Excel, allowing you to set a value for a property. This is especially useful when you wish to calculate values that will be passed to the operator, such as the most suitable press to be used for the job, which will also determine the calculated cost.

Improved Excel pricing template
A new and improved Excel pricing template is now available for all product types, excluding Upload products.
It is now easier than ever to add properties to the Excel, by adding their names only.
The Excel, which can be defined with all properties in the store, has a mechanism that knows which property is defined for the ordered product, allowing it to calculate only the properties that are applicable for the ordered product.
When configured for a static product in an NG store, the Excel can calculate a price with missing selections for priceable properties, taking into account the cheapest option for each property.

Version 14 – New design of product property controls in static products
Released October 4, 2021 | Watch a short video overview | See uStore release notes
NG product property controls for static products
These controls now have an improved UX, are responsive to the user selection, and have immediate validations adjacent to the controls. These controls are available in the new single–page mode in NG stores.
The property controls are based on ReactJS, making the static product page fully ReactJS based. Theme development allows editing these controls.
The following enhancements are applicable for static products set with single-page mode in NG stores.
Automatic price calculation for static products
When the shopper selects a priceable property, the price immediately updates.
Whilst regular pricing requires that all priceable properties have a default value in order for the price to be calculated, Excel pricing enables pricing a product with partial information, when not all properties have selected values. As a result, the shopper can see the cheapest available price for the current selections.
File attachment control redesign

Out-of-the-box properties, such as binding and lamination, now have new and modern-looking images.
Custom property images are now stored in a shared location, making them available for all themes.
Radio button control redesign
Radio buttons have taken the form of buttons having text with no image.
More redesigned controls
Text boxes, dropdown lists and checkboxes also have a new look and feel.
HTML generic maintains backward compatibility to ensure operability of your HTML and JavaScript code.
Phasing out legacy stores
With the transition to NG stores, XMPie has started phasing out legacy stores.
Starting from this version, you can no longer create new legacy stores. Existing legacy stores will keep on working and legacy will still be supported, however, it is advisable to start migrating to NG.
If you switch a store from legacy to NG, you will no longer be able to revert to legacy. Read more

In this workflow, a shopper uploads a design which is based on a downloaded dieline (with a fixed size and number of pages). A preflight check assists the shopper in submitting a correct design. Once submitted, the uploaded design is made available to the operator and prepress workflow.
This is available for static products using the file attachment control, which is set with “Use as Production Output” option.

Operators can also edit an order on behalf of the shopper.
Order fulfillment properties
While fulfilling an order, it is now possible to add ad-hoc production information for the ordered item, on top of the information provided by the customer via product properties.
This can be useful in the following cases:
- You’d like to provide production instructions to the production workflow, presented in the job ticket of the order item.
- You’d like to update an unexpected fulfillment cost for an order item, which will be available for reporting.
This can be done by adding global properties to an order item and assigning values to them.
Select products to check out
You can now select which items to check out in the shopping cart. The unchecked items remain in the cart.
Auto-generated PDF thumbnails
When creating a static product with a PDF document, thumbnails are now automatically generated from the PDF. The first two PDF pages (or any number that you’ll set) will be automatically converted to JPG thumbnails, so you no longer need to upload them manually.

For example, you can add marketing content to the homepage, replace the banner with a slider or add a new FAQ page. This technology is based on ReactJS, the industry-leading technology for web development.
The theme is developed on your local development environment using standard web programming tools, without affecting the production environment. You can then easily move it to a uStore production server. Read more
