2020

New features, enhancements, and fixes released on the Swell platform in 2020.

December 2020

Local pickup option

You can now designate shipping services as local pickup options. When selecting a pickup service, Swell checkout will not prompt customers for a shipping address.

Users can now enable Bancontact, a flexible gateway supporting a range of popular payment methods. This integration can be configured in the Stripe payment settings once enabled.

October 2020

Klarna and iDEAL integrations

Users can now enable Klarna and iDEAL payment methods via Stripe. These integrations can be configured in the Stripe payment settings once enabled.

September 2020

New visual editor

Along with our first storefront app, we're introducing a brand new visual editor that enables you to customize content, style, and functionality without any code. Developers get a new git-based workflow to manage configuration, and marketers can now manage content tailor-made for their storefront.

Headless storefront apps

Today we're officially releasing Swell's first storefront app, Origin. Based on Nuxt.js and Vue, Origin can be launched on Swell without the need for custom code or hosting, and is also an ideal starting point for custom storefronts. Get started quickly without sacrificing flexibility.

  • Built with Vue/Nuxt.js for flexibility and performance
  • Fully integrated visual editor for customizing without code
  • Ability to host it anywhere (Swell, Heroku, AWS)
  • Using Swell's headless commerce API

Simpler Stripe account connection

You can now connect to Stripe without entering API keys, by clicking through Payment settings and logging in to or creating a new Stripe account. Existing connections using API keys are unaffected. If you were previously using Stripe API keys and would prefer to switch to the new connect mode, navigate to Payment settings and follow the instructions provided.

July 2020

Automatic product option attributes

Swell will now automatically create and update attributes related to product options (e.g. size, color) when creating or editing products. This change will make it easier to build a multi-faceted search/filtering interface, as product options will be readily available as attributes in your storefront.

New dashboard reports

There are now several quick reports available on the Home page of the dashboard. These new views are designed to give you a quick look at the most relevant real-time information for your store. Choose which reports to display by clicking the Edit views drop-down in the top-right section of the dashboard Home page.

January 2020

Klaviyo integration

You can now automatically send store events to Klaviyo. Also, we've revamped the integration page to make things easier to manage. Visit the Integrations settings under the Admin section to get started.

Segment integration

You can now automatically send store events to Segment. Visit the Integrations settings under the Admin section to get started.
