SOLOMONO v1.5.0: Faster, more reliable and smarter. An update that works to grow your business.

Introduction

We have released one of the most extensive and fundamental updates to the SOLOMONO platform in recent times. This update is not about individual features or cosmetic changes for the sake of change. It is about the foundation on which a stable and predictable e-commerce business is built: reliability, data security, and speed of interaction with the user. We deliberately focused on those aspects of the platform that directly affect sales, process manageability, and customer trust in the online store.

It was fundamentally important for us that this update be perceived not as another “patch,” but as a qualitative step forward. SOLOMONO is developing as a long-term platform designed for store growth, assortment expansion, and high-load operation. That is why the changes affected not only the outer layer, but also the deep architecture of the system, ensuring business stability today and readiness for scaling tomorrow.

Technical base and security

The update is based on SOLOMONO's transition to modern technical architecture. The platform now runs on PHP 8.3, which has resulted in a noticeable increase in performance and improved the overall stability of stores. Pages load faster, interfaces respond more quickly, and key modules work predictably even under high loads and a large number of simultaneous users.

This technical upgrade is especially important for stores that are actively growing, investing in advertising, and attracting more and more traffic. The updated architecture reduces the risk of failures during peak periods, improves compatibility with modern services, and lays the foundation for further functional development without the need for complex and expensive migrations in the future.

We paid special attention to security in this update. SOLOMONO has become significantly more reliable in key user scenarios, including order placement, quick ordering, and working with customer data. We closed potential vulnerabilities, strengthened data validation, and reviewed critical points of interaction between the system and the user.

As a result, the store receives a higher level of protection without the need for additional settings or the involvement of third-party specialists. Customer data, order history, and financial transactions are processed in accordance with modern security standards, which increases buyer confidence and reduces risks for businesses, especially in the context of growing online fraud.

Import, export, and feeds

Import, export, and feed management in this SOLOMONO update have been significantly improved with a focus on data stability and reducing manual work. We have eliminated errors during the import of products, images, and Excel files, fixed issues with duplicate products, attributes, and images, and stabilized scheduled imports. Data from external sources is now processed more accurately by quantity, category, availability, and language, which is especially important for stores with a large assortment and regular catalog updates.

Special attention has been paid to exports and product feeds for marketing channels. The export of products in XLS and CSV formats has been optimized, the operation of feeds for Facebook, Hotline, Prom.ua, and other platforms has been fixed, and missing manufacturer data has been added. Feeds have become more stable, are updated correctly, and pass advertising system checks better, which directly affects the quality of advertising campaigns and the visibility of products in external sales channels.

Order placement and payment

The order placement process has become calmer, more logical, and more convenient for the end buyer. We have refined the checkout logic, eliminated unstable behavior during payment, and improved the processing of borderline scenarios. The customer no longer loses the session after an unsuccessful payment and correctly returns to the order formwithout starting the process over.

These changes directly affect conversion. The fewer technical glitches and unexpected situations at the moment of payment, the higher the likelihood of completing the purchase. The updated ordering process reduces the number of abandoned carts and makes the purchase more predictable and comfortable, especially for new customers.

Delivery and logistics

Significant changes have affected delivery and logistics — one of the most sensitive elements of e-commerce. Integrations with Nova Poshta and Ukrposhta have become more stable and understandable for both buyers and store managers. We have improved the interfaces for selecting cities and branches, eliminated accumulated errors, and increased the reliability of working with TTN.

For businesses, this means less manual work, fewer errors when placing orders, and a more transparent delivery process. Updates to the logistics modules reduce the load on customer support and speed up order processing, which is especially important when there are a large number of shipments.

Admin panel: faster and more convenient

The SOLOMONO admin panel has undergone significant development in terms of convenience for daily work. Managing products, categories, and orders has become faster thanks to improved navigation and context preservation when working with lists. Managers no longer need to return to the top of the list every time after editing or deleting a product.

In addition, the admin panel has become more convenient for working on tablets, and modal windows have been given a more accurate and understandable interface. These seemingly minor changes significantly save time in everyday work and make store management less tedious, especially for teams with a large volume of operational tasks.

Automatic translations and content

We have also significantly improved content and multilingual support. Automatic translations have become more accurate, stable, and transparent to manage. We have added automatic translation via GPT, improved error handling logic, and refined the translation management interface, allowing you to find and fix problems faster.

This update is especially valuable for stores that already operate or plan to operate in multiple markets. Simplifying content localisation reduces the cost of entering new regions, speeds up the launch of multilingual versions of the site, and allows businesses to scale without a sharp increase in operating costs.

Analytics and marketing

Improvements in analytics and marketing tools deserve special attention. The updated Google Analytics module now correctly transmits advanced conversions and events, providing a more accurate picture of the effectiveness of advertising channels. The data has become cleaner, and the reports are more informative and useful for decision-making.

For store owners and marketers, this means being able to rely on real numbers rather than assumptions. Improved analytics help to more accurately assess the return on advertising, optimize budgets, and find growth points that may have previously gone unnoticed.

Productivity and UX of the storefront

The visual and user-friendly aspects of the platform have also undergone significant improvements. We have optimised image loading, improved the performance of sliders and product carousels, and refined the user experience of key templates. Stores on SOLOMONO are now perceived as faster and lighter, especially on mobile devices.

In addition, the mobile interface of the customer account has been improved, making interaction with the store more comfortable for the growing share of mobile users. All this has a positive effect on the overall impression of the store and increases the likelihood of repeat purchases.

Conclusion

This update is the result of systematic and thoughtful work on the platform, rather than a set of disparate changes. SOLOMONO has become a more mature, stable, and ready-for-long-term-development product for those who are serious about building a business for the long haul. We are consistently removing technical limitations so that store owners can focus on growth, sales, and customers.

The platform is ready to grow with your business, adapt to new markets, and withstand increased loads. This update is another step toward ensuring that SOLOMONO remains a reliable tool for e-commerce today and in the future.
