New remote tunnels guide

A new Remote tunnels page explains how to expose a local development server at a public HTTPS URL so BigCommerce can reach it during app, webhook, Embedded Checkout, and Stencil development.

• Three supported options — step-by-step setup for VS Code port forwarding (including Cursor), ngrok, and GitHub Codespaces, with a comparison of requirements and URL stability.
• Shared guidance — verifying the tunnel, updating callback URLs and other configuration when the URL changes, and troubleshooting common failures.
• Consistent instructions — the Apps quick start, the single-click app tutorial, the webhooks tutorial, and related guides now link to this page instead of maintaining their own tunneling steps.

For details, see Remote tunnels.

Storefront GraphQL order line items keep their image after the product sells out

The Storefront GraphQL API now returns the image of an order line item after its product sells out, instead of null.

• Affected stores: stores whose out-of-stock behavior (Settings > Inventory) hides products that can no longer be sold.
• Affected fields: image on physical and digital line items of an order, for example on site.order.consignments.shipping and site.order.consignments.downloads.
• Past orders keep their images: the image no longer depends on the current stock of the product. Products that are not visible on the storefront or not assigned to the channel still return null.
• No changes needed: you don’t need to change any queries or store settings.

For schema details, see the Storefront GraphQL API reference:

• image on order shipping line items, site query
• image on order download line items, site query
