March Build Summary (10.8.1)

Core Platform

New at no additional cost Shipping Promotion V2

What it does: Adds support for a new version of at no additional cost shipping promotions, storing discount details in the JSON and establishing compatibility with delivery groupings.

As of March 2025, Salesforce offers two types of at no additional cost shipping (V1 and V2). Each version has different features. See the table for a comparison.

Important To use V2, update app builds to 10.8.1 or higher. Support remains available for merchants using V1, but use app builds 10.7.1 or lower to successfully apply V1 at no additional cost shipping. Only one type of at no additional cost shipping (V1 or V2) is allowed on the POS app.

New Transaction Type for Returns in Edit/Appeasement Scenarios
