TL;DR: The 2026.1.20 minor release of SuiteCommerce, SuiteCommerce MyAccount, and SuiteCommerce Advanced introduces enhancements to how dates are displayed on websites using CDN caching. This ensures that the date format aligns with the shopper's subsidiary preferences.

Key Changes in Date Display

Starting with the 2026.1.20 minor release, SuiteCommerce websites will now respect the Date Format selection configured for each shopper's subsidiary. Previously, enabling CDN caching could lead to date formats being cached in a manner that did not match the shopper's specified format, potentially causing confusion.

Benefits of the Update

This change guarantees that all date fields displayed on the website, such as Supply Required By, appear in the appropriate format based on the user's subsidiary. This is particularly beneficial for international businesses operating in multiple countries, as it improves clarity and consistency for end-users.

Additional Improvements

Aside from the date display updates, this release includes various background processing fixes for SuiteCommerce, SuiteCommerce MyAccount, and SuiteCommerce Advanced that do not directly affect shoppers or account users but enhance overall performance and stability.

Who This Affects

  • Administrators: Ensures proper setup for date formats in subsidiaries.
  • Developers: Helps in optimizing website performance and user experience.
  • eCommerce Managers: Benefits from clearer date presentations tailored to shoppers' locations.

Key Takeaways

  • Date formats on SuiteCommerce sites now respect subsidiary preferences.
  • CDN caching no longer impacts the accuracy of displayed dates.
  • Updates improve clarity for international shoppers.
  • Background processing enhancements ensure better performance across platforms.
