Whether it's enhanced SEO capabilities, advanced content generation, or improved data tracking, these updates provide robust solutions for online merchants. In this blog post, we'll explore these enhancements in detail, examining how they can benefit your store.
By the end of this post, you'll have a clear understanding of the latest features, improvements, and functionalities added to Mirasvit's suite of extensions. Let's dive into the specifics.
Affiliate Program: GDPR v1.4 Support
As regulatory landscapes continue to evolve, compliance with policies such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is more important than ever. The Mirasvit Affiliate extension now supports GDPR extension v1.4, ensuring that all data collection practices adhere to the latest legal standards. This update integrates seamlessly with Google Consent Mode v2, ensuring that both affiliates and merchants are compliant. This can prevent potential legal issues and build customer trust in handling their personal data responsibly.
GPT AI Assistant & Content Generator: Leveraging GPT-4o
Mirasvit's GPT AI Assistant has taken a significant leap forward with the support for the GPT-4o model. This new model process text, audio, and video inputs, offering more accurate and faster responses. This upgrade means you can generate high-quality content effortlessly, enhancing customer engagement and improving your store's SEO.
Additionally, the Assistant now allows you to choose which store's variable values to retrieve, supporting multi-store environments. This feature ensures more accurate and contextually relevant content generation, tailored to each store view.
Another notable improvement is the option to remove or retain HTML tags in prompts. This flexibility is crucial for maintaining clean and readable text, especially when dealing with HTML-rich product descriptions.
Blog MX: Enhanced Blogging Experience
Blogging is a powerful tool for driving organic traffic and boosting SEO rankings. The Blog MX extension has introduced several new features and improvements:
"All Posts" Page
The new "All Posts" page consolidates all blog posts in one place, providing a centralized location for visitors to access your content. This page can be customized for each store view, offering a personalized experience for your audience.
Multistore Blog
With the ability to customize separate blog pages for different store views, you can now tailor content and categories to match the unique characteristics of each store. This feature enhances user engagement by delivering relevant and specific information.
Breeze Theme Support
Support for the Breeze theme ensures that your blog integrates seamlessly with this popular theme, providing a consistent and visually appealing user experience.
Canonical URL
Canonical tags for posts, categories, tags, and authors have been added to prevent content duplication, which is a critical factor for improving SEO rankings.
Dynamic Categories: Streamlined Product Validation
Product validation on product saving has been optimized with the introduction of a message queue. This improvement speeds up the product-saving process, making category management more efficient and less time-consuming for administrators.
Google Analytics 4 with GTM: Server-Side Tracking
The latest update includes server-side tracking for admin orders. Previously, tracking was limited to customer-placed orders on the frontend. Now, admin-placed orders are also tracked, providing a more comprehensive view of your store's performance and customer behavior.
Buy Together - Product Kits: Enhanced Frontend Titles
To further entice customers to purchase product kits, tags like h3 titles and paragraphs can now be used in kit titles. This allows for more creative and persuasive titles, potentially increasing the average order value by prompting customers to buy the entire kit instead of individual products.

The new rich snippet extender allows you to add more detailed information to snippets, such as return policies and refund details. This additional information can be very appealing to potential customers who are looking for favorable shopping conditions.
Duplicate SEO Templates
Admins can now duplicate SEO templates easily, saving time and effort when creating similar templates for different products or categories. This feature is particularly useful for managing large catalogs.
Rich Snippet Product Variants
Promote specific product variants easily with the ability to showcase rich snippets that highlight particular variants. This feature helps draw attention to popular or newly introduced variants.
