Functional Enhancements
This section describes the functional enhancements for this release.
Oracle Retail Payment Cloud Service Integration
Support for integration to the Oracle Retail Payment Cloud Service has been added. This allows retailers to load all the store locations into the Oracle Retail Payment Cloud Service to streamline the setup.
Collect and Receive Cloud Service Integration
Xstore can be configured via the Xstore Office Cloud Service UI to communicate with the Collect and Receive Cloud Service (CaR). CaR is a Java-based application deployed on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure along with Oracle Retail Data Store. By configuring the Collect and Receive Cloud Service Integration, Xstore will have the ability to support Same Day Delivery flows.
Oracle Retail Home Integration
Retail Home is a portal-type application for the RGBU enterprise. The UI consists of a tile-based configurable dashboard that highlights important metrics and KPIs across RGBU applications. The persona-based dashboards are configured by a Retail Home administrator for each enterprise role. Xstore Office Cloud Service can now be configured to display store status, deployment, and subscription metrics on the RH dashboard. See the Oracle Retail Home Application Usage Guide for more information.
