Product releases and update

Distributors, Save & Share Configuration, Geolocation detection, CPQ navigation ribbon

Distributors — Managing a distributor network shouldn't mean chasing spreadsheets and forwarding leads manually. Now it doesn't.

Assign each distributor their territory, their products, and their pricebook. They get a branded configurator they can embed on their own site or use as a standalone sales page. Buyers configure, see real pricing, and submit quote requests on their own — no back-and-forth required. Every lead routes to the right distributor automatically. And you get full visibility across your entire network in one place, without having to ask anyone for updates.

Save & Share Configuration — Complex purchases rarely happen in one sitting. Now buyers and sales reps can build a configuration, save it, and come back to it when they're ready without starting from scratch.

Each saved configuration is valid for 90 days. When a buyer chooses to send it to theiremail, you get a lead. It's a natural handoff that fits how your customers actually buy.

Geolocation detection — Your buyers shouldn't have to figure out who to contact. HeadQ now automatically detects where a buyer is browsing from and assigns them to the right distributor based on your market mapping. No manual selection needed. If multiple distributors cover the same region, the buyer gets a simple list and picks who they want to work with. The right lead gets to the right partner, every time.

CPQ Navigation ribbon — We added a navigation ribbon to the CPQ experience that gives buyers quick, visible access to Save & Share, location selection, and distributor choice. Right where they need it. It's fully customizable, so you control what appears. If you're not using distributors or Save & Share, it simply won't show up.

Email templates & Email validation

Two updates to how your store handles email and lead quality.

Email templates — Customer-facing emails have been redesigned with a cleaner layout, better information structure, and support for custom checkout questions. Templates now include a hero image. Update yours in store settings to take full advantage. Updated emails cover: order confirmation, request for quote confirmation, and internal notifications (new order, new RFQ, new lead).

Email validation — When a customer enters their email to access pricing, HeadQ now checks whether it's valid and whether the domain is on your block list. Invalid or blocked emails are denied access automatically, keeping bad leads out of your pipeline without manual work.

Constraints

Some product combinations don't work together. Constraints lets you define rules directly in your product setup so that incompatible options stay hidden and the right choices show up at the right time, automatically.

• Show options only when specific previous selections have been made

• Hide incompatible variants based on earlier choices

• Handle multi-step dependency logic across your full product configuration

• When a product spans multiple categories, the highest applicable rate is used
