Changelog

​

Affiliate Product Links

• Cart items now accept an optional affiliateProductLink field on cart.create, cart.item.add, and cart.item.update. Pass your partner tracking URL and Henry will use it for fulfillment while keeping the original link as the canonical product reference.
• affiliateProductLink is also returned on purchase responses (cart.checkout.pollPurchase) and order list items, so you can reconcile attribution end-to-end.
• If affiliateProductLink is omitted, Henry falls back to link - existing integrations are unaffected.
• Available in @henrylabs/sdk@1.5.0.

Product Discovery

• products.search now supports merchant-scoped search via type: 'merchant', alongside existing text and image search.
