What has been improved?

LTO & Pre-Order Logic Improvements

Products with limited-time or pre-order availability are now automatically marked unavailable once their defined windows have passed, ensuring users only see valid items. This update applies to both main and nested products, and LTO logic has been extended to the off-screen cart for consistent behavior across all ordering flows.

What’s New:

• Automatic unavailability of products after LTO or pre-order windows expire.
• Applies to main and nested products.
• LTO logic integrated into the off-screen cart for consistent guest experience.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to enhance our products and services!
