API changes

May 18, 2026

Overlay recommendations are now surfaced to partners in select regions

Partners in certain regions can now view sales opportunities passed to them by Adobe representatives through the existing Fetch Recommendations (POST /v3/recommendations) API. This enhancement is currently limited to specific regions. The API updates are backward-compatible and non-breaking. Your region leads will communicate the opportunities applicable in your region.

When an Adobe agent identifies purchase intent during an overlay interaction, an opportunity is created and returned in the recommendations response under a new overlayRecommendations object.

What changed?

The POST /v3/recommendations endpoint now returns an overlayRecommendations object alongside the existing productRecommendations. This object contains two arrays:

• new: Opportunities where the customer expressed intent to purchase new products.
• renew: Opportunities where the customer expressed intent to renew existing subscriptions.

Each opportunity includes createdAt, expiresAt, status, and an items array with offerId and quantity. Opportunities remain in an OPEN status until they are either consumed during order placement or automatically expired past their expiresAt date.

For more information, see Overlay recommendations.

Flexible discounts are now discoverable before their start date

Partners can now retrieve upcoming flexible discounts using GET /v3/flex-discounts, so you can see upcoming offers ahead of their go-live date. This is the default behavior for the endpoint; no new parameters are required to see those discounts.

What changed?

The GET /v3/flex-discounts endpoint now returns upcoming flexible discounts in addition to those that are already live by default.

Important: A discount with a future startDate will still show status: ACTIVE. For integrations, ACTIVE should not be read as “can be applied to an order today.” Use startDate relative to the current date to decide whether a discount is eligible for orders now.

Why it matters

Partners can now prepare marketing campaigns, brief resellers, and configure storefronts ahead of a discount's live date, rather than waiting for comms or account-manager outreach

Action required

For more information, see Manage Flexible Discounts.

Support for automatic discount continuity across renewals

The discount reusability allows eligible discounts to be reused beyond their initial end date under defined conditions. With this enhancement, a discount can be configured for extended usage if it meets the required eligibility criteria. Partners can continue to apply a reusable discount until the configured reusableUntilDate, provided the discount is used at least once before the discount end date.

Key details

• Allows customers to reuse an eligible discount for renewals and seat additions until a configured discount lock end date.

• Ensures customers who use a discount during its active period can continue to benefit from it for a defined time, reducing churn caused by sharp price increases.

• Enables customers to review the applied reusable discount using Preview Renewal.

• Eliminates the need for customers to explicitly opt in again using Update Subscription when a reusable discount has already been applied to an eligible subscription.

• Introduced the following changes to Get Flexible Discounts API:

  • The include-eligible-reusable-discounts query parameter fetches reusable flexible discounts in the response.
  • The newly introduced REUSABLE value of the status parameter indicates whether a flexible discount is reusable.
  • The discountLockEndDate parameter in the response indicates the date through which a flexible discount may continue to be applied beyond its initial offering period (start/end date). Reusable discounts are identified by the presence of the discountLockEndDate field in the response.

How reusable and non-reusable discounts work:

In general, promotions and discounts are available only between their configured start and end dates. Reusable discounts extend this model by allowing continued application beyond the original end date, subject to prior use and configuration.

For more information, see Manage Flexible Discounts.

Sandbox changes

The Portal Resources > View Available Flex Discounts page in the Sandbox UI lists the available flexible discounts. The Edit Reusable Flex Discounts tab allows you to change a discount's end date and test reusable flexible discounts. For more information, see Edit reusable flexible discounts.

Early Renewals – Subscription renewal ahead of anniversary date

Facilitates the renewal of customer subscriptions before the Anniversary Date (AD). This capability enables customers to renew early while maintaining uninterrupted access to their existing subscription.

New capabilities

• Early renewal window (AD‑30 to AD-1)
  Partners can now place renewal orders up to 30 days before the subscription’s anniversary date. Orders placed within this window are treated as renewal orders and are invoiced immediately.

• Pricing based on date of renewal

  Customers can benefit from the old price if they renew before a price change.

• Three-year commitment (3YC) support
  For three-year commitment customers, price continues to be based on the 3YC commitment start date. Early renewals maintain compliance and may help non-compliant customers regain compliant status. Early renewals are not supported if the 3YC customer is in the last term.

• Return policy enhancements
  Early renewal orders can be returned within the standard 14-day return window, even if the return occurs before the anniversary date. The anniversary date does not roll back after a return.

• Auto-renew compatibility

  • Customers with auto-renewal enabled can still renew early. On the renewal date, any remaining quantities not covered by early renewals are automatically renewed.
  • Early renewing customers are not expected to turn off their auto-renewal configuration. Adobe intelligently handles the auto-renewals accordingly and subscription states and attributes are updated as part of the standard renewal cycle.

For more information, see:

• Renewals - Overview
• Managing early renewals using APIs
• Managing auto-renewals using APIs
• Error codes specific to early renewals

Sandbox changes

• The Customer records in the Sandbox UI displays early renewal details of subscriptions. For more information, see: View customer details in Sandbox.

Flexible Discounts – Introductory offers support

This release enhances the Flexible Discounts capability in VIP Marketplace to support Introductory Offers as a new discount category. The introductory offer is a type of discount that helps partners apply a fixed-price discount to a customer’s first purchase or first-time use of a specific product. Some benefits include:

• Incentivizing early onboarding of new Adobe products
• Transitioning from SKU-based promotions to promotional codes

New capabilities:

• Category filtering:
  The newly introduced categories query parameter of the Fetch Flexible Discounts endpoint supports filtering by category. Supported values:

  • STANDARD: Regular Flexible Discounts (% off, $ off)
  • INTRO: Introductory Offers

• New discount type:
  The type parameter with value FIXED_PRICE allows partners to offer a product at a fixed price, regardless of its original price. Example: Adobe Express at $39.99 for new customers.

• Eligibility enhancements:
  Flexible Discounts for Introductory Offers can be applied only if the customer has never owned the product previously.

• Flexible Discounts
• Manage Flexible Discounts using APIs

February 11, 2026

Modified Price List documentation

• Added a disclaimer in the Price List documentation, stating that using the includeOfferAttributes parameter in the request, the API will attempt to return the specified attributes for each offer. However, it is not guaranteed that every offer in the response will contain all the requested attributes. The availability of each attribute depends on the underlying data applicability and validity for the specific offer. If an attribute is not relevant or does not have a valid (non-null) value for a given offer, it may be omitted from that offer’s attribute section in the response.

  For more information, see Manage Price Lists.
