Enable Temporary Baskets for Immediate Order Requests
You can now create temporary baskets for immediate order requests in B2C Commerce. For example, a shopper uses a Buy Now option to purchase an item. The temporary basket, which has a limited lifetime of 15 minutes, is populated with all the data required to ready the basket for checkout without affecting the regular shopper basket.
How: Use the basket script API to enable temporary baskets. The supported basket functions include pricing, promotions, coupons, inventory, shipping methods, order creation, and reopening an order.
The temporary basket differs from a shopper basket in the following ways:
-
Basket lifetime is limited compared to shopper baskets
A temporary lifetime of 15 minutes is used for basket retention
- Limit is separate from shopper and agent basket limits. The shopper can have up to 4 temporary baskets
- Available to all shoppers including guests (unlike agent baskets)
-
Basket lifetime is limited compared to shopper baskets

Update Main Product Variants for a Bundled Line Item
You can now update a main product variant in a bundled line item. This change allows shoppers to select a main product variant when adding a bundled line item to a cart. For example, a product bundle contains a belt and a T-shirt. The T-shirt is a main product with red, blue, and green variations. When the shopper adds the product bundle to a basket, the belt and T-shirt are added as bundled items, and the shopper can select a T-shirt color, one of the T-shirt variants. Previously, the API didn’t support selecting a main product variant when a main product was included in a line item bundle.
How: The API selects the T-shirt bundled item by its item ID and selects one of the main product variations by patching the corresponding product ID.
You can update these properties using
(PATCH /baskets/[basketId]/items/[itemId]).-

Get Einstein Recommendations for Large Product Catalogs
Commerce Cloud Einstein now generates recommendations for product catalogs that exceed 3 million product SKUs. Einstein Product Recommendations enable you to create and manage recommenders and assign strategies that predict the most relevant products to promote to individual shoppers.
How: If you have a product catalog that exceeds 3 million product SKUs, Commerce Cloud Einstein compiles a reduced list of 3 million product SKUs by default-no action required. To compile the list, Einstein uses sorting and filtering logic based on pre-defined criteria. Einstein recommendations are generated from this list. If your catalog exceeds 3 million product SKUs, and you want to ensure that products matching specific criteria appear in the reduced product list, contact Commerce Cloud Support.
