Embedded Youtube Videos in Compliance with data protection regulation 

To engage customers, embedding youtube videos in your webiste is one of the best ways, along with the advantage of reducing server load. But, as the data is transmitted to youtube, it’s necessary to take your visitor’s consent to comply with the privacy policy. By following this, you can be sure that you are legally compliant regarding data protection. 

Now available: Disable HTML Sanitizer as required

HTML Sanitizer 

A new feature HTML Sanitizer was introduced by Shopware 6.5. With this, you can improve the editor’s reliability, security, and usability by removing unsafe HTML code. And to ensure the correct rendering and consistency of the code across different platforms and browsers, the sanitizer also cleans up attributes and styles. 

Disable HTML Sanitizer 

Many users faced difficulty working with the feature HTML Sanitizer as it removes custom styles from blocks in Shopping Experiences. 

” From now on, Shopware said developers can completely disable the sanitizer via a flag in YAML configuration.“

New: Combine Events from Apps with The Flow Builder.

One more feature has been added to the Flow Builder. With the help of this, you can now use the app system to add your own triggers to the Flow Builder. Because of this now, if any event occurs in another system, the Flow Builder can now react accordingly. The event can be any order management or shipping system, interaction with social media, or a newsletter tool. This enhances expanding your range of actions even further.  

Mentioned are the points that are recently enabled merchants in Flow Builder to drive their business forward- 

• To use flows exclusively within Shopware
• To create flows that start with an event in a third-party system and trigger a flow within Shopware 
• To create flows that start with an event in Shopware and interact with third-party systems via webhooks.
