Search bar in the Category Mapping section

Vendors will now be able to find categories to match using the search bar. Previously, vendors with a large catalog and a complex category tree had to spend hours searching for categories to match across multiple pages. For a more convenient comparison, we have added a search bar where the supplier can find the category he needs.

To start searching for categories, you need to go to My catalog, and then click on the Product categories button:

Open API Documentation

We created a page that contains information on working with the Agora API. Users can test the operation of API methods in the sandbox, which is located directly on the site. Implemented in Russian and English.

Marketing Pages

Implemented the ability to customize your own marketing mailings to notify users about the news. The platform owner will be able to manage mailing lists, send emails only to selected users, and create deferred mailings.

Highload catalog

For catalog search, Agora has implemented a system that allows you to search for products by the full name and part of it, article number, property and part of the description. HighLoad is able to process large volumes A new HighLoad catalog has been developed. It is capable of processing large amounts of information (up to 1 million items) at high speed (0.5-3 sec.). Search results are automatically ranked by relevance to the query. This performance is achieved through InMemory storage technologies and related Elasticsearch components. The search mechanism of operation is described in more detail here.

Offer your own price for marketplace projects

The supplier can upload products for which the price has not been determined, with a price of 0. Then the products will be displayed in the catalog with the Offer a price button. Read more about the functionality here.

Information pages in the sidebar of your personal account

The functionality allows the platform administrator to customize the information pages that will be displayed in the project menu in the Information section. Learn more about how the Buyer Information pages work here.

Loyalty program in a new interface

Added output of information about the level in the loyalty program to the new design. Now the user will immediately see what stage he is on, and when hovering over, he will see what conditions must be met in order to move to the next level.

Improved category tree visualization

The category tree is in line with Agora's new design.

Managing file formats in the Export Products section

The site owner can select file formats for export in the administrative panel. To do this, go to the Portal settings section.

Banners in the information dashboard

For platform owners, we implemented the ability to hide banners in the catalog, leaving them only in the information dashboard. They used to be enabled by default in both sections. To hide/show banners in the catalog, go to the Banner display settings section.

Phone number widget

We finalized the widget, made it clickable in the mobile version of the site.

After clicking, a window for calling the specified phone number will appear.

Application for registration widget

Changed the widget «Application for registration» under the new Agora design. Read more about the purpose of the functionality here.

Open menu on hover

Previously, the menu on the left side of the screen opened on click, but now you just need to hover over the collapsed menu.

Updating currencies and prices when integrating with 1C

Now you can change the currency inside the order without changing it in the agreement. All information will be pulled from 1C and updated automatically.

Catalog demonstration

The catalog demonstration mode allows the supplier to show the catalog without prices to the buyers.

In previous versions of Agora, the checkbox that enables demo mode was enabled by default. For some projects, this setting is irrelevant. Therefore, a setting was added to the administrative panel that allows you to hide the demo mode in the catalog.

To enable/disable the «Demo» checkbox, go to the Настройки портала section.

Product Comparison, Featured Products and Trade Alerts

Changed the appearance of the icons Product comprasion, Избранные товары and notifications about trading procedures. Now, if there are products in the Favorites/Comparison List or notifications in trading procedures, the icon will turn red.
