About OrderCloud
OrderCloud ships steady B2B-commerce API hygiene — Buyer Groups, Delivery Configs, multi-tab dev console.
April added multi-tab support to the API Console (shared user context, tab-specific impersonation) plus custom role-group naming. March shipped Buyer Groups for managing similar buyers at scale in marketplaces, and tightened Message Senders to require a Delivery Config (with a renamed Mailchimp target) — a breaking model change that drops URL and SharedKey fields. The crawler also captured a changelog index page and a 'Loading...' placeholder.
