History of Changes

CloudBlue Store 1.6-590

This release of CloudBlue Store brings the following improvements:

  • Membership programs. CloudBlue Store now allows distributors to launch membership programs to:

    • Boost revenue by offering custom app collections of value-added services for additional fee to their resellers.

    • Foster partner growth by implementing the multi-tier model when resellers on different levels gain access to different sets of additional apps and services.

    • Increase customer satisfaction by offering more flexible membership options.

      CloudBlue Store now supports these models and lets providers unify apps under custom collections and make them available to their partners if they purchase a special membership plan.

      Resellers who have not subscribed to any membership program will still be able to see these apps in CloudBlue Store. If they decide to install them, they will be redirected to UX1 Marketplace to buy a membership plan. This will encourage these partners to join the membership program.

      If apps included in a paid program have Auto-Install parameter configured, they are installed automatically after the membership subscription is created.

      To learn how to add a membership program, read this article.

  • Location intelligence. To make app launch and membership programs more flexible, providers can now configure their own apps and banners to be available for specific countries.

  • Navigation Icon. CloudBlue Store now offers providers who want to make their app available in the store a default set of app icons to choose from and lets them configure custom app icons for their external apps that will be displayed in the left navigation menu.

  • Clickable Images. Providers who want to launch their apps in CloudBlue Store can now make the user experience more adaptive by adding clickable images on external app screens.

  • What’s new links. You can now follow What’s new links in the Updates available notification in the Classic Panel to learn about new features and fixes in the latest releases of CloudBlue Store.

CB Store 1.5-516

This release brings the following improvements:

  • CloudBlue Store now offers a default set of themes for your CloudBlue Commerce Control Panel that follow our new UX design trends and support all the latest UI features. Themes offer providers and resellers a fresh and stylish look and feel for their control panel, out-of-the-box. Themes are available to both providers and resellers and can be installed in one click like any other app.

    If you want to offer a custom theme to your partners in CloudBlue Store for Resellers, contact us by email.

    Full support for uploading custom themes to CloudBlue Store for Resellers will come in the upcoming releases.

CB Store 1.2-383

  • Resellers can now obtain the MarketplaceAPI application from CloudBlue Store and activate it in one click, similarly to the Native Integrations that they could obtain and activate earlier. This change does not affect the resellers who activated the MarketplaceAPI earlier using a different method. All resellers will receive notifications about the recent updates and will be able to read the Release Notes in the application description, on the What's New tab.

  • Providers can use the CloudBlue Store for Resellers add-on to configure how the CloudBlue Store for Resellers will look, including the store name and header text. The CloudBlue Store for Resellers is available to providers as an add-on to the CloudBlue Store app. It is installed with a few clicks

    Note: By default, the add-on is not installed. You must install it if you are providing your resellers with access to Native Integrations or the MarketplaceAPI.

    If you run an earlier version of CloudBlue Store and if you activated the CloudBlue Store for Resellers using a different method, you do not need to perform any additional manual operations. The add-on will be automatically installed during upgrade to CB Store 1.2.

  • To reflect their brand identity, providers can upload a custom image to use as a header background in the CloudBlue Store for Resellers.

  • Providers can enable the automated installation of external apps for all resellers in the system. To do that, they need to specify app IDs in the Automatically installed apps field. This will add links for access to services to the control panels of all resellers.

  • RDE datasets in CloudBlue Store for providers. Providers can install new RDE datasets for their resellers. RDE datasets are used for generating custom reports on service usage by customers.

  • You can now change the log level of this component at runtime. To learn more, please refer to Managing the Log Level of a Component.

  • Private apps. Providers can publish apps that will only be available to their resellers, and will not be available to other providers.
  • Providers are notified when updates to their apps are available. A red badge is displayed in Provider Panel > UX1 > CloudBlue Store > Manage > Your installed apps > Updates.
