A set of new features have been added to the already rich set of tools available in the new online sales landing page, to cover even more configuration cases and provide an excellent user experience to your customers online.
A new type of section is now available: the paginated list. This kind of section allows you to display the catalog products in a vertical list layout. Pagination is available and configurable to enable the display of a large amount of products, or product occurrences, without filling up the page vertically.
Moreover, it is now possible to display products that are not yet on sale or products that are restricted by a contact/indicator advantage. This is supported by all section types. In addition, new configuration options allow to display previously hidden information, like price, description preview, action buttons, sales start date for products not on sale.
Please note that all these configuration options are available also in standalone Gravity widgets. For more information, please follow this link: A new set of Gravity widgets.
Paginated list section
The new section type paginated list can be configured in the landing page section screen (point of sales configuration). As for other sections, it must be either linked to all products available in the online sales profile or to a specific cluster that has been predefined. It is possible to choose different granularities of display in the section: products or occurrences of the product (when applicable, i.e. for events, competitions, visit passes or timeslot passes). An option is also available to define how many items per page will be displayed.

Display of products not on sale or restricted
A new set of options is available in the section configuration screen. These options allow to display products that are not yet on sale or restricted among the set of products configured in the linked cluster(s). Such products will be displayed in the landing page but won't be accessible for any sales operation. When displaying not on sale products, it is also possible to optionally show the date in which the products will become available.
Configuration options for products that are restricted or not on sale, in the section screen
Products that are not on sale, will be displayed in the landing page as shown in the following screenshots (note that this also applies to vertical paginated layouts):

When not connected, the user will be prompted to login, to access his advantage. When connected and not having access to the advantage, a message will display additional information and a link to the product information page (the link configured for the product, in the field internet description URL).

Additional optional information
Additional information can be displayed for every product contained in the section. The additional options allow to display price information, description preview and action buttons. Please note that action buttons will always be displayed when there are multiple options linked to the product: i.e. if more than one puchase option among sales, reservation and option is available for the product.
