When creating a new storefront, you can now inherit key resources—such as language strings, email templates, and editable content—from the platform level. Under the optional Advanced Options tab in the Create Storefront dialog, you can either inherit these resources (maintaining a “live link” to the platform) or override them (using a default storefront setup).
If you inherit, any future changes at the platform flow automatically into the storefront until you explicitly edit and save that item at the storefront level, which breaks the link for that specific resource only. This drastically cuts down on setup time and maintenance, since you can update content and settings once at the platform and have those updates appear on any storefront that hasn’t overridden them.
Key Highlights
-
Flexible Control: Toggles let you choose platform-level inheritance or default storefront overrides.
-
Live Inheritance: Inherited resources automatically track changes at the platform.
-
Minimal Duplication: Inheritance prevents cloned resources from cluttering multiple storefronts, saving time and effort.
-
Easy Overrides: Edit-and-save a resource in the storefront to break its live link, allowing full customization where needed.
