Overview of Changes to the XONIC Shop System, Version 4.7

Completely new shopping cart & off-canvas

Faster, clearer, and fewer clicks to complete your purchase.

The entire shopping cart and shopping cart preview have been redesigned from the ground up. Products can now be removed directly without reloading the page. Your customers can see immediately how much they’re saving—and the express checkout with Apple Pay and Google Pay updates automatically after every change. Stock alerts provide real-time information on availability.

New Full-Screen Image Gallery

Product images in all their glory—with touch gestures and full-screen view.

The new image gallery replaces the previous image view with a modern full-screen experience. On mobile devices, natural touch gestures like swiping and zooming work seamlessly. The gallery supports all image sizes and makes your products look professional—on any device.

Redesigned product detail page

Modern, high-quality design—your product takes center stage.

The product detail page has been comprehensively redesigned: a clean layout with a clear structure, a redesigned rating display, easy-to-understand tiered pricing, and an improved bundle presentation. Less visual clutter, more focus on your product—for a shopping experience that builds trust.

Quantity Selection & Product Badges

New quantity selection design and flexible badge system for your products.

The quantity selector now appears consistently across all areas in a modern, rounded design. The new badge system displays promotional notes, free-item indicators, and availability status directly on the product image—flexibly positionable and visually appealing. This ensures a consistently professional appearance in listings, on the product detail page, and in the shopping cart.

GLS Ship IT Shipping Integration

Create shipping labels directly from the backend—automatically and efficiently.

The new GLS Ship IT integration enables automatic shipping label printing directly from your order management system. Both domestic and international packages are supported, tracking numbers are automatically transferred, and shipping status is updated in real time—from package creation to shipment tracking.

AI Integration with 4 Providers

Claude, OpenAI, xAI, and Perplexity—flexible to use.

The ticket system and backend now use four AI providers simultaneously: In addition to OpenAI and xAI (Grok), Claude from Anthropic and Perplexity are now also available. Generate responses, summarize tickets, or clean up text—all with the provider of your choice.

Extended REST API

More options for your integrations—CMS, contracts, and more.

The xoPort REST API has been extensively expanded: new interfaces for CMS content, contracts, FAQs, newsletters, and SEO redirects. Advanced filtering options for exports and improved error handling ensure even more efficient integrations with third-party systems and automations.

Expanded Payment Methods

Google Pay and Apple Pay are now also available via PayPal, along with WERO as a new payment method.

In addition to the existing Stripe Express Checkout, Google Pay and Apple Pay are now also available via PayPal—for maximum flexibility in payment processing. WERO, the new European payment method, is integrated via Stripe. This is complemented by improved security checks and more reliable payment processing.

Accessibility

Your store is now more accessible to all users—screen readers, keyboards, and more.

Improved support for screen readers and assistive technologies, an optimized page structure, and descriptive link text in all 19 languages. Interactive elements are now easier to navigate using a keyboard. An important step toward accessibility in accordance with WCAG 2.1 AA.

Enhanced Security

2FA Trusted Devices, improved login screen, and session protection.

Two-factor authentication has been expanded to include a “trusted devices” feature—eliminating the need to enter a code on recognized devices for 30 days. The new admin login screen offers enhanced protection, and a redesigned dual-login process ensures a seamless sign-in experience.

Faster Loading Times

Optimized performance for a better user experience and search engine rankings.

Numerous optimizations ensure significantly faster page loads, especially for multi-store installations. Improved image rendering with smart reloading and optimized database queries reduce wait times for your customers—while simultaneously improving your search engine rankings.

DATEV & Product Data Import

Enhanced accounting integration & accelerated product import.

The DATEV integration now also supports optional entries for automatic document export. Product data import has been accelerated, and the product data management interface has been redesigned. Both integrations benefit from improved error handling and expanded configuration options.
