COMMERCE ROADMAP
Buying experiences, made modern
Unveiling the Q2 roadmap for Optimizely Configured and Customized Commerce. Get the first look at how we're helping businesses create better buying experiences.
Composable Commerce Modules
Compatible with both Configured and Customized Commerce platforms, composable modules are essential e-commerce functions available out-of-the-box to you at no additional costs and are pre-integrated. Using composable modules helps businesses small and large increase revenue and reduce costs maintaining their cloud solutions.
Featured modules to release in Q2 '24:
- Payments
- Access to more than 200+ payment gateways for seamless regional. national, and international payments support
- Two-factor authentication and 3DS support, a requirement in the EU
- Compatible with customer-provided payment provider
- Can request additional providers through Spreedly
- Optimizely will continue to support existing non-Spreedly gateways
Configured Commerce Improvements
Core Web Vitals
We are enhancing Core Web Vitals capabilities for Configured Commerce to improve your customer's buying experience on your digital storefront.
Featured benefits:
- Improvement to core web vitals of the out-of-the-box storefront to drive an improvement in SEO, which will increase conversions and improve brand reputation
- Improvements will focus on loading speed, interactivity, and visual stability
-
Faster, more-user friendly website to improve user navigation and overall site experience
Printable Barcodes
A highly requested customer feature, Printable Barcodes will allow you to print product barcodes directly from your e-commerce instance to enhance operational efficiency.
Featured benefits:
- Print barcodes for Lists and Vendor Managed Inventory - reducing errors and allowing for faster picking and packing
- Simplify stock tracking by adding barcodes in every stage of the process, from receiving to inventory management to order tracking
- One format of printable barcodes across all parts of your commerce operations reduces confusion and increases efficiency
Localization: Variant by Chosen Language
As you go global, we want to ensure external adoption of your e-commerce platform is as seamless as possible. To do this, in Q2, we are launching Localization: Variant by Chosen Language.
Here's what's included:
- Page variants are automatically selected based on the user’s chosen language, allowing global brands to create custom experiences for each market
- Improve customer understanding and trust of your brand by building content made for their native language
- Expand your reach by creating a more enjoyable shopping experience across markets
Mobile Flutter App Beta
Announced at Opticon in Q4 2023, our Mobile Flutter App makes it easier for you to reach 100% of your audience by deploying exceptional commerce experiences to your customers through their mobile device.
Here's what's included:
- Mobile app using Flutter code language to provide both out-of-the-box functionality and ability to customize your app based on unique business needs
- Mobile-first user-interface to improve navigation and drive efficiency on smaller device screens
- Out-of-the-box functionality includes barcode scanning, list management, save order, quick order, submit for quote, count inventory for VMI, show/hide inventory and pricing, product availability by warehouse, and more.
Mission Control (generally available for implementation partners)
Mission Control allows commerce customers to manage their own environment without assitance from Optimizely. By doing this, you save time-to-market for website updates and ease ongoing maintenance.
Featured capabilities:
- Self-service environment management to improve time-to-market for website updates
- Ability to deploy code, execute database backups and website restarts without interacting with Optimizely technical support
- Additionally, sync user files and database from production to sandbox

Understanding the Optimizely Commerce Product Roadmap
At Optimizely, we value clarity and transparency into what we're building and why. To do this, we publicly share a majority of our Commerce product roadmap. In the roadmap, we have categorized our work into three groups: Committed, Planned, and Considered. These definitions represent levels of assurance around what products we will deliver quarterly.
Committed items are features that we are devoted to delivering within the quarter. Planned items are features we're targeting to deliver in the quarter, but are less likely than Committed items. Considered items are features we have acknowledged and are considering but may not be worked on or delivered in the quarter.
This roadmap is dynamic, therefore, it is intended for informational purposes only. The roadmap is not binding and should not be relied upon in making any purchasing or development decisions. We reserve the right to revise this roadmap at any time without notice.
