The core of the 26R2 release is an expansion of Vexture Merchandising, which allows teams to build product showcases using AI prompts, specific search queries, or category collections. Merchants can now apply automated boosting and sorting rules that cascade through existing category hierarchies, simplifying the management of large catalogs. By shifting to a more surgical page caching architecture, the platform now updates only specific content rather than rebuilding entire pages, ensuring storefronts remain fast even during frequent inventory changes.

Miva Launches 26R2 Platform Update to Boost Storefront Performance
San Diego-based ecommerce provider Miva released its 26R2 platform update on July 21, introducing enhanced AI-driven merchandising tools and architectural refinements designed to accelerate storefront speeds. The update centers on giving mid-market and enterprise merchants granular control over product discovery while maintaining high-performance site responsiveness.

Beyond performance, Miva is standardizing access to Category Facets for all users. This feature enables shoppers to filter search results by multiple categories simultaneously, a critical addition for complex catalogs. According to CEO Rick Wilson, the release prioritizes the company's "Margin-Aware Commerce" vision, aiming to balance automated AI capabilities with the hands-on control required for profitable growth. The update is available to eligible merchants immediately, marking another milestone in the company’s 25-year history of providing scalable infrastructure for enterprise commerce.
