Kirki eCommerce - v1.0.0-alpha.3

This release expands the eCommerce foundation with new tools for managing products and inventory, handling orders, customizing the checkout experience, and accepting payments. It also brings several improvements to the storefront and customer account experience.

Product & Inventory Management

The biggest part of the update is making it easier for merchants to manage products at scale:

• Bulk Inventory Edit: Edit inventory for multiple products in a spreadsheet-like interface.
• Product Duplication: Clone an existing product, including its settings and variants.
• Product Preview: See how a product will look to customers before publishing.
• Low Stock Threshold: Set stock-warning levels globally, per product, or per variant.
• Product Trash Management: Move products to trash and manage their deletion.
• Out of Stock Protection: Stop customers from adding unavailable products to their cart.

Shopping & Checkout

Several features improve the customer purchasing experience:

• Guest Checkout: Customers can purchase without creating an account.
• Cart Product Limits: Merchants can restrict how many units of a product customers can purchase.
• Shop Search: Customers can search for products directly from the shop page.

Order Management

This update also adds better visibility into what happens to orders:

• Order Timeline: Merchants can see the chronological history of an order.
• Order Activity Log: Customers can see order-related status changes and activities from their dashboard.

• Quickpay
• Paystack

Account & Security
