Summary
We've added a new Credit & Gift Cards tab to the Orders side panel
When editing a product which is a Variation, we now link to the parent product
We've re-worked the Advanced Shipping setup screens to make them much more user friendly
Now when a new Brand is created, we pre-populate all the Tax Rates (particularly useful for US clients)
A range of speed/performance improvements
New Credit & Gift Cards tab:
Within the Orders side panel, there is a new tab:
In that tab we now display the details of any Gift Cards that were purchased and / or Credit that was earned (as well as any associated activity relating to that Gift Card or credit).
A few examples:
It happens semi-regularly where a winery will want to see what's become of a Gift Card that was purchased by a customer (who only has the Order Number or their email address), so now you can see all that detail within the Order detail itself.
Re-worked Advanced Shipping screens:
We were never terribly proud of the of version 1.0 of the look and feel our Advanced Shipping capabilities. One of the problems with building something so capable and flexible, is presenting it to you in a user interface that is easy to understand. So we've improved it.
In case you didn't know or weren't aware, our Advanced Shipping module is available to all customers at no additional cost. Shipping rates can be set according to where an order is being shipped (eg. a Country or a zip/postcode range), what is in the order (eg. "more than 6 bottles" or "more than 3 bottles of sparkling"), who has placed the order (eg. "Club Members" or "people tagged as Locals"), what shipping carrier has been selected (eg. USPS or FedEx) or a combination of any of these. Please reach out to us if you'd like us to switch it on for you.
The Shipping screen now looks less intimidating and the tooltips help explain what each section is for:
And now it's MUCH easier to understand the Rates screen and re-order rates now that the data is presented in a table format:
There's quite a bit more in the pipeline, so stay tuned 😊
