Important technical information
On August 2, 2012, an email was sent to Yahoo! Merchant Solutions and Yahoo! Store customers, outlining some important changes to other tools that were made to support the Promotions Center beta. A list of these changes is available in our online help center. While most stores should not be affected by these changes, we encourage you to refer back to that email or to the online help page in case you have systems or third-party integrations in place that could be impacted by these changes. If you believe that you may be impacted, please contact your developer before you visit Promotions Center.
