What's newin Layers

Segment metrics, sort orders, and merchandising rules by seven new customer and session attributes: language, currency, channel, sign-in state, session type, customer type, and company.

Create rules that hide products from search results, collection pages, or recommendation blocks based on catalog attribute conditions.

Add a per-product "only when" gate to an entire Weighted Group blend, or to a single feature inside it — unmet gates fall through to the next sort term.

A new MCP tool shows AI agents exactly what content reached a product’s search document, plus a guided workflow for classifying attributes.

A ground-up rewrite of @commerce-blocks/sdk: stateless controllers, no signals, and new feedback/tracking calls.

The sort order preview now shows exactly how each soft boost affected a product — position change, lift, and final score — instead of a rough lift percentage.

Variant breakouts now flag targeted products that can’t break out — a missing option, an unindexed product, or a single-value option — and catch the mismatch before you save.

Group multiple Layers stores under one organization with shared team members and cascading access.

Collection-sourced blocks can now opt in to the collection’s merchandising rule pins and banners instead of always returning raw collection order.

New block strategies that recommend products from each shopper’s own session, cart, and order history, plus smarter cold-start personalization for new visitors.

See purchased-together analytics for every product sequence, plus new Lab Insights that flag complements, substitutes, and suggestions.

Test Image Search in Lab now supports drag-and-drop uploads, picking an image straight from Shopify media, and searching by a cropped region of the photo.
