About SAP Commerce Cloud
SAP is retiring its storefront UIs and rebuilding the surface as APIs.
The dated window is platform housekeeping from March — configurable JWT signing, token granter extensions, custom login redirect placeholders, a B2B customer search API. The undated rows carry a much larger June release: the Accelerator storefront UIs and AddOn-based OCC V2 extensions are deprecated in favour of headless commerce, the open payment framework gains gift cards, tokenization and split-payment extension points, and a run of OCC endpoints appears for wishlists, B2B units and access control.
