BFG Release Notes 2026.04.3

New Features

Introduced State-Based Product Restrictions

Manufacturers can now restrict product availability by US state to ensure compliance for regulated items and prevent purchases in prohibited regions.

  • “Restrictions” Tab in Product Details

    Added a dedicated tab where manufacturers can select US states where the product is not available for sale.

  • Shop Page State Restriction Indicator

    On the Shop page, products in the listing display an indicator showing the states where they are restricted. When a product is selected, the Product Details page includes a dedicated section that lists all restricted states, providing clear visibility before purchase.

  • Order Blocking Enforcement

    Users are prevented from completing checkout if their state is included in the product’s restriction list, with a clear blocking message displayed.

Enhancements

Store Locator Visibility Column Enhancement

Added a “Store Locator Visibility” column in the Store List page showing whether a store is Visible or Not Visible in the Store Locator. Non-visible stores include a tooltip explaining the reason, such as missing latitude and longitude.

Store Locator Analytics Enhancement: Product Context Tracking

Enhanced custom events by including product context (UPC and SKU) when the locator type is “product”. This ensures accurate tracking of the active product throughout Store Locator interactions and enables better identification of store availability per product.

Documentation is available in Store Locator GA4 Custom Events.

Store Locator Performance Enhancement

Improved the performance of the Store Locator page by optimizing data loading and rendering processes, resulting in faster load times and a smoother overall user experience.

Address Formatting Enhancement

Improved address formatting to remove excess commas when Address Line 2 or Address Line 3 is empty. Empty address fields are now excluded from formatting, ensuring addresses display correctly without extra separators.

Resolved Issues

  • Resolved an issue where Store Metrics, specifically “With Phone” and potentially “With Website”, were undercounted and did not match exported store data.

  • Resolved an issue where stores with “Show Stock Availability” disabled still appeared under the “In Stock” filter on the Store Locator map. Filter logic has been updated to ensure map pins match stock availability settings.
