AI-powered personalization, smarter operations, and enhanced support​

Front-Commerce 3.13 introduces AI-driven product recommendations with Netup to help increase conversion rates, along with flexible maintenance tools for multi-store setups.

We've improved page loading speeds across applications and welcomed our new support team to provide more specialized assistance. We've also worked on another project which will be live later this week 👀

Read on to discover all the details of this release!

Real-time AI personalization with Netup​

Front-Commerce 3.13 introduces a new extension for Netup (previously known as Netwave).

This extension allows you to leverage Netup's AI capabilities to deliver personalized product recommendations to your customers in real-time, enhancing the shopping experience and potentially increasing conversion rates.

Netup's AI algorithms analyze user behavior and preferences to suggest relevant products. It uses an Inductive AI approach, learning from historical data to make predictions and recommendations tailored to each user. This approach is designed to adapt to changing user preferences and trends, ensuring that recommendations remain relevant and effective over time with less data.

Netup Recommendations configuration

The Netup extension is built on new capabilities introduced in Front-Commerce 3.13. Our default theme now contains generic recommendation zones on common pages such as the Product List Page (PLP), Product Detail Page (PDP), and Cart. Extension points are provided to allow developers to customize these zones and integrate any personalization service. The @front-commerce/netup extension leverages these extension points to provide a ready-to-use integration with Netup both for tracking user interactions and displaying personalized recommendations.

In this release, the Netup extension is available for Gezy stores only but is ready for other backends. If you are interested in using Netup for your store (on a different backend), please contact us to discuss integration and configuration options.

Read more about this feature in the Netup extension guide.

Per-store Maintenance Mode​

You can now enable maintenance mode for specific stores instead of your entire Front-Commerce instance.

This is particularly useful for international merchants managing multiple stores who need to perform content updates or deploy new versions to one region without disrupting operations in others.

The maintenance mode service now accepts a scope parameter to target individual stores, giving you granular control over when and where maintenance mode is applied. This feature is available to all customers starting with this version through a new API call, similar to the existing maintenance mode functionality.

Read more about this feature in the Activating Maintenance Mode for a Specific Store guide.

Performance: faster First Contentful Paint (FCP)​

We've optimized Remix/Vite's default module preload strategy to significantly improve First Contentful Paint times across all Front-Commerce applications.

This optimization addresses a performance regression introduced in Front-Commerce 3.4 when we moved to Vite. The improvement is available in all supported Front-Commerce 3.x versions and delivers an average 20-point boost in Google Lighthouse Performance scores.

This is the first milestone in our "Performance Summer" initiative, where we're focusing on enhancing the overall web performance of Front-Commerce applications.

Search suggestions with Attraqt​

Front-Commerce now supports search autocomplete and suggestions, allowing you to provide alternative search terms to users when they're looking for products in your store.

We've taken this opportunity to port the @front-commerce/attraqt extension from version 2.x to 3.x, bringing the full Attraqt integration to Front-Commerce 3.x users.

This feature is available on both Front-Commerce 2.x and 3.x:

Magento2: latest security patches compatibility​

Front-Commerce is now compatible with the latest Magento security patches released on June 10th, 2025. This includes support for the most recent versions across all supported Magento branches:

Since we've updated Front-Commerce's Magento module architecture, we can now adapt quickly to new Magento releases, ensuring you stay secure and up-to-date with Adobe's latest patches. See the security bulletin APSB25-50 for detailed information about these security updates.

Welcome our new Support team!​

Following our QA team onboarding in the previous release, we've now welcomed another specialized Lundi Matin team to Front-Commerce: our dedicated Support team.

This team has taken over our support channels and is now your primary point of contact for assistance. They work closely with our core Front-Commerce team, escalating technical issues when needed to ensure you get the expertise required for complex problems.

For Front-Commerce Cloud topics, the Infrastructure team at Lundi Matin is also involved, giving you access to even more specialized knowledge that will remain as our infrastructure evolves.

This expansion means more people are available to help you, while allowing our core Front-Commerce team to focus on what they do best: building new features, improving performance, and advancing the platform. With dedicated teams handling QA and Support, we can deliver faster innovation and better service quality simultaneously!

👀 Coming soon: a redesigned Cockpit experience​

We're excited to announce that a completely rebuilt Front-Commerce Cloud Cockpit is coming soon.

While working on Front-Commerce 3.13, we've also been investing significant time and effort into rebuilding the Cockpit from the ground up. This next-generation management interface features modern architecture and will include a first set of long-awaited features that our customers have been requesting.

Stay tuned for a dedicated announcement with full details about the new capabilities and enhanced user experience. 🚀
