After installing Umbraco Commerce Deploy, it will automatically serialize any changes made in the Umbraco Commerce settings section to disk. They will be added to the data\revision folder alongside Umbraco's own serialized content.

These files should be committed to your repository. Umbraco Deploy will then monitor these files and automatically deploy changes between environments for you.

Learn more about how the deployment process works in the Umbraco Deploy documentation.

Ignoring Settings

Some entities in Umbraco Commerce accept configuration settings such as Payment Methods, Shipping Methods, and Tax Calculation Methods. These settings can be environment-specific, and therefore, you may not want to deploy them between environments. To prevent this from happening, you can add the following configuration options to your appsettings.json file.

For each supported entity type, you can supply an IgnoreSettings option, which contains an array of aliases of the settings options to be ignored.

The Product Feeds package can be installed directly into your project's code base using NuGet packages.

Upgrading

The Product Feeds package uses a database migration for both installs and upgrades. Upgrading is generally a case of installing the latest version via NuGet over the existing package and restarting the website.

In this article, you can find an example of extending the plugin by adding a custom property value extractor.

Add a custom property value extractor

When a default property value extractor does not suit your need, you can create your own extractor to extract the property value yourself.

For example, when a product's stock value is 0, Google Merchant Feed desired value is out_of_stock. In that case, we have to do the conversion from 0 to out_of_stock.

You can often create a new implementation of ISingleValuePropertyExtractor or rarely IMultipleValuePropertyExtractor.

This plugin uses which is commonly used in Umbraco. You can use these two extension methods during application initialization to add your value extractors.

Afterwards, your extractor name should show up in the dropdown under Property And Node Mapping section.

The Portal is designed with flexibility in mind, offering multiple customization options to ensure it fits seamlessly with your specific Commerce workflow.

The portal includes customizable pages (such as login, registration, and account management) that can be aligned with your brand.

Setup

To customize the Portal, you must first override the existing files for the step you want to modify.

To do this follow these steps:

The Cart package is configured using a JavaScript, CSS, and data attributes-based API.

Initialization

Before adding items to a cart, it is required that the Cart package is initialized with some default settings. This is done using the UCC.init global function which should be executed after the umbraco-commerce-cart.js file is loaded.

The core initialization settings are shown in the table below.

Calling the init method will also automatically bind any UI elements configured using the following APIs.

UI Elements

Add to Cart Buttons

With Umbraco Commerce Cart, products that can be added to a cart are defined by adding attributes to HTML elements on your site. Most likely this will be a "buy" <button> element, however, any HTML element can become an add-to-cart component.

The first step when defining an add-to-cart component is to add the ucc-add-to-cart class to the element. This informs Umbraco Commerce Cart that it should react to that element's click event.

Along with the ucc-add-to-cart class, a series of data attributes provides information about the product being added to the cart. At a minimum, a data-ucc-product-reference is required, but the following table outlines all the available configuration options.

Some attributes end with a number. This signifies that the attribute defines a collection and so multiple attributes can be defined with each distinct combination incrementing the number by 1. It is important that these attributes start from 1 and must be sequential without gaps.

With an add-to-cart button defined, clicking on the button will automatically add the product and open the cart for display.

Open Cart Button

While the cart will open automatically when an item is added, you can also enable the customers to open their carts manually. To do this, add a ucc-cart class to a link or button element. The Umbraco Commerce Cart will then automatically bind a click event handler to trigger opening the cart.

Cart Count Label

Another common feature on commerce sites is the ability to display the total number of items in the current cart. To do this, define an HTML element with a ucc-cart-count class applied. Umbraco Commerce Cart will then automatically update its text value whenever the cart changes.

Commands

As well as the automatic API defined above, it is possible to trigger Umbraco Commerce Cart commands manually via a number of JavaScript functions.

Localization

The cart UI supports being translated into any language. Out of the box, it comes with a default English translation, but additional locales can be configured.

Localization is controlled via the lang attribute in the <html> tag of your site.

In the above example, Umbraco Commerce Cart will look for a French locale. If a given locale can't be found, then it will default back to English.

Additional locales can be added either via the UCC.init method or by calling the UCC.addLocale command.

The default English locale has the following values and defines the required keys for a locale.

To override a locale you can re-add it by reusing the same language key.

Displaying Properties

If you capture any custom properties, you may want to display them within the cart. Displaying properties is achieved in two steps.

First, you define the property keys you wish to display either via the UCC.init command, or the UCC.showProperty command.

Next, you define a localization key to use as a label for each property.

Now, when the cart is displayed, the defined properties will be displayed using the localization value as their label.

Theming

To allow customization of the cart UI, CSS variables are used to allow overriding of the default styles.

The following details the default values, and the available keys to override.

Styles can be overridden by including a stylesheet after the Umbraco Commerce Cart stylesheet, replacing the desired keys.

Error Handling

By default, Umbraco Commerce Cart will log any request errors to the console. If you would like to display errors to your users or handle them differently you can provide an error handler function.
