August 2026 release

Release: 5.2.2608.613+sts

The following is a list of the release's bug fixes and enhancements. Some bug fixes may address existing support articles. A comprehensive list is at the bottom of this page.

Release highlights

Stability & Performance

• Nightly Maintenance Reliability – Large sites with high transaction volume can now run nightly cleanup jobs without hitting memory limits. Integration logs, abandoned carts, email messages, and quotes are cleared efficiently using set-based SQL deletes that scale with your data.
• Request Timeout Protection – Long-running requests caused by slow or unresponsive external services are now automatically cancelled, freeing server resources before they compound into broader performance degradation.
• Smarter Server-Side Rendering – Spire no longer wastes server resources completing renders for users who have already navigated away or disconnected. This reduces unnecessary load during high-traffic periods and improves overall responsiveness.

New Features

• WebMCP storefront tools – Make your Spire storefront agent-ready and save buyers from clicking through complex B2B catalogs line-by-line. Configured Commerce now supports WebMCP for Spire, giving AI shopping agents direct, structured access to three capabilities: reading cart and session context, searching products, and adding, updating, or removing cart lines. Agents like Gemini in Chrome can build routine, multi-line orders in a single sentence on a shopper's behalf, using your existing pricing, promotions, and B2B entitlements - cutting order time to seconds and making you the easiest vendor to buy from.
• Exclude products from promotions – Protect margin on the products you can't afford to discount. Promotion rules and discount results now accept an exclusion list, so you can run aggressive site-wide offers while carving out low-margin SKUs, MAP-restricted items, or new releases – no more choosing between a broad promotion and a profitable one. See Promotion rule type descriptions and Promotion result type descriptions.
• Restriction Group Creator – Set up customer and product restrictions in minutes, not hours. An Opal agent walks admins through creating a restriction group in plain conversation, removing the configuration expertise that used to gate this work and freeing your team from ticket-driven setup requests. See Restriction Group Creation agent.
• VMI label print options – Give stockroom staff everything they need on the label itself. Printed labels can now carry minimum and maximum quantities plus bin location, so replenishment decisions happen at the shelf-fewer stockouts, less overstock, and faster put-away without a lookup in the system.

Breaking changes

Low risk

• Added GetOrderSubTotal(CustomerOrder, List<Guid>) and GetOrderSubtotalWithOrderDiscounts(CustomerOrder, List<Guid>) methods to the Insite.Core.Plugins.EntityUtilities.ICustomerOrderUtilities interface. Custom implementations of this interface must be updated to include these new methods.

Enhancements

• Added a WebMCP layer to the Spire storefront that exposes commerce capabilities to in-browser AI agents as structured, callable tools, letting an agent read session and cart context, search products with account-specific pricing, and add, update, or remove cart lines through the storefront's existing business logic.
• Added an optional Exclude Products field to qualifying promotion rule and discount result types, letting administrators keep specific products from counting toward qualification or receiving a discount while the rest of the order stays eligible; leaving the field empty preserves existing behavior. See Promotion rule type descriptions and Promotion result type descriptions.
• Added OpenAPI document generation and a Swagger UI to the .NET Core Admin, Storefront, and Integration APIs, giving developers interactive, up-to-date API references when working in non-production environments. See Get started with Configured Commerce REST APIs.
• Released the Restriction Group Creator, an Opal agent that creates product restriction groups in Configured Commerce through a step-by-step wizard. This helps you define customer and product restrictions accurately without hand-building API requests. See Restriction Group Creation agent.
• Added optional Minimum Quantity, Maximum Quantity, and Bin Location fields to the Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) label print options, so users can include reorder thresholds and bin locations on printed product labels.
• Added a timestamp with a copy link to the storefront unhandled-error popup, so shoppers can quickly share the exact time an error occurred with site support for faster troubleshooting. 
• Added a Reference ID block to the storefront error modal that shows the Cloudflare Ray ID and Datadog Trace ID for a failed request, so shoppers can share these identifiers with support and speed up error investigation.
• Added an integration job that rewrites stored UserFiles image URLs to their Optimizely Digital Asset Management (DAM) equivalents after assets are migrated, so sites using DAM as their storage provider serve media from DAM without manual database edits. 
• Updated .NET Core application logging to honor the developer setting that controls whether logs are written to the database, which lets administrators disable database log storage and rely on other log sinks.
• Updated the Search service admin interface to the latest Optimizely branding, giving administrators a look and feel consistent with the rest of the platform.
• Changed the Spreedly Environment Key and Environment Name payment settings to be global rather than per-website, preventing checkout failures caused by mismatched environment values across websites on the same commerce instance. Existing website-specific values can no longer be added or edited in the Admin Console and must be changed with a custom SQL script. See Configure Payment Service.
• Deprecated the IsEncrypted option on SettingsFieldAttribute; it remains available for backward compatibility, but Optimizely code now stores these settings in the Vault, and custom or partner code should migrate to an alternative. See Create custom settings.
• Payment gateway integrations can now retain a gateway-specific token captured during the authorization or sale request instead of having it overwritten when the payment profile is stored afterward, by setting the new SkipStorePaymentProfile flag. See Override payment gateway settings.
• Improved security.
