Icecat Commerce Release Notes Icecat PIM 3.13.0

We’re introducing Icecat PIM 3.13.0 and with that a release packed with practical upgrades to search speed and accuracy, import/export management, and marketplace connector stability.

This release is about making your product data work faster and more dependable: smoother onboarding through improved imports, faster product discovery, and more precise control over what gets synchronized to Amazon, Shopify, and Magento.

New Features

Enhanced Search Architecture

Faster query responses across the search engine
More accurate keyword matching across product catalogs
Better performance on large-scale datasets

The updated search architecture makes it significantly easier to find the right products in Icecat PIM. Results now load faster and match more accurately, especially large catalogues. Spend less time searching, more time managing and enriching product data.

Category Export Toggle

New “Category Export Enabled” column in category management
Per-category toggle for synchronization status
Granular control over which categories sync to channels

You can now set category specific status and enable or disable exports per category directly in the category management view. This gives teams better control over which categories are synced to sales channels, keeping channel catalogs clean.

Import Wizard Improvements

Streamlined data mapping workflow
Easier onboarding for new users

The new Import Wizard has been updated to make getting product data into the system faster and clearer for the user. Field mappings are more straightforward, and the workflow does better in walking users through each step, especially when importing from a new supplier or source for the first time.

Import Details Visualization

Updated chart rendering logic for import analytics
Correct display across all dataset sizes
Clearer insight into import progress and outcomes

The Import Details dashboard now renders charts reliably regardless of data volume, giving users consistent visual feedback on every import run.

Product History Dashboard

Dedicated list page for product change history under Reports
Dashboard view for tracking changes at a glance

The new Product History page now has a spot inside the Report section and gives teams a central view of how product data has changed over time, not only on product level. Combined with improved dashboard clickability, users can now navigate directly from items into detailed product records.

Connector Updates

Amazon

Fixed an issue where newline characters in product attributes caused JSON parsing errors
Frontend attribute display now handles newline characters correctly

Line breaks in product attributes could previously cause display errors on the frontend. That’s now handled correctly, so Amazon listings render as expected without any manual intervention.

Shopify

Enhanced functionality for excluding products
More granular control over which products sync to Shopify

Shopify users can now fine-tune exclusions with more precision, helping prevent incomplete, draft, or irrelevant items from being pushed to storefront catalogs.

Magento

Added a dedicated toggle to enable/disable image exports
Configurable directly in Magento connector settings

You can now control image exports in Magento independently from other product data, which is ideal for teams managing images through a separate workflow or DAM system.

General Improvements

Platform & Infrastructure

Optimized for the latest PHP version
Backend preparations for upcoming architectural updates

These updates keep Icecat PIM aligned with modern server-side technologies and set the foundation for upcoming platform enhancements.

User Interface

Fixed a pagination issue on the Channel List page
Improved clickability of dashboard reporting items
Resolved a global JavaScript error in the CWR interface

Navigation and usability are smoother across the platform, with fewer UI interruptions and more reliable interfaces.

Observability & Logging

Added an automated database log cleaner
Improved login logging for stronger audit trails
Maintained long-term system performance

These improvements help prevent database bloat and give administrators clearer visibility into user access activity.

Pricing & Logic Rules

Fixed an UX issue in the Price Rules interface
Corrected a display error in Warehouse Conversion Rules where default values were missing during editing

These fixes reduce confusion during rule setup and help avoid configuration mistakes.

Automated Workflows

Improved reliability of scheduled exports to FTP
Enhanced stability of email distribution workflows

Teams relying on scheduled delivery should now see fewer interruptions and more consistent results.

Why This Matters

Icecat PIM 3.13.0 focuses on improvements that make day-to-day product information management more reliable. Search is faster and more accurate, exports offer more control, and imports are easier to configure. Connector updates for Amazon, Shopify, and Magento address real integration pain points, while infrastructure improvements prepare the platform for what’s next.
