What’s New:
1. Ship to Multiple Address
There can be situations when customers want to order multiple products and ship them to different locations. For this, they had to order products separately selecting shipping locations which ultimately took their entire time.
To allow your customers the option to add multiple products in a single order and ship them to different locations, we introduced a new feature called “Ship to Multiple Address” in version 10.0.
With this feature, the customer will now be able to split the quantity and ship it to various addresses. From the site settings, the admin will have the option to enable or disable the ship to multiple address option.
2. Partial Payment
When ordering products with large transactions, customers often prefer breaking down the total payment into installments rather than making a single upfront payment.
In the v10.0 release, we brought a new payment method called “Partial Payment,” which allows users to pay the order amount in different parts.
To offer this method, the admin must enable the method for individual customers similar to the Pay on Account feature and then choose the payment terms (number of installments) created for them.
3. Job Board Enhancement
To improve the usability of the Job Board, we have enhanced the UI&UX by adding two new view preferences namely Grid View and List View in addition to the Summary View that was already there in which Grid View will be the default view. When the logged-in admin changes the view for the job board, their view preferences will be saved.
In the Grid view, the job details will be displayed as per the order product statuses. For changing the status of any order product, the admin can use the new drag-and-drop feature along with order product updates.
Additionally, we have provided the ability to scan the barcodes, and as a result, the admin will be able to select and change the status of the ordered product.
Furthermore, to manage the fields to display in these views, we have provided Settings which can be accessed using the Wheel icon.
This new UI has been made available to admin, branch, printer, and franchisee accounts.
4. Designer Studio UI Enhancement
To enhance the user experience and make navigation easier, we’re introducing the new UI/UX in the Designer Studio in version 10.0.
The property pop-ups and actions are moved to the top and left panel.
In the Image Gallery section, the customers can view the list of their uploaded or previously used images in the Upload tab. If the customer is not logged in, the screen will have a Login button to allow them to access the images and take further actions.
5. Product Template Real Preview
In the version 10.0 release, the users can now have a virtual feel of their product in the front end with the Real Preview option added for all products.
It will have a real preview in the template generated by both the admin and the user. For this to be attained, the 3D Preview tab has been renamed as Real Preview in the designer studio setting.
6. CMS Page Category
The admin can now create CMS categories, assign several CMS pages to them, and show them in the menu in accordance with the currently existing choices, such as the Category as a submenu, Category-wise.
When this is used, a Basic Blog Page will be created from the content management area, and the admin can build different blogs and assign them to the Blog category, and all of the pages will be displayed under the category (Blog) Page.
7. Dynamic Help Template Generator
In v10.0, the help template on the front end will now be generated dynamically based on the product size selected by the customers.
On the front side, there will be an option to download a dynamic product help template based on the product size on the product info page, upload center page, and download template page.
8. Common Product Price Update in Percentage
There can be scenarios when the admin wants to change all the system’s prices by some percentage. For example, if the admin wants to update product and vendor-associated prices by 10%. To achieve this, we have provided a function in the product price to update all of the prices.
Admin can change the percentage amount for the product or vendor-related pricing. They may also manage any setup costs or other costs such as hiring a designer, etc.
9. Store Specific Product Content Overwrite
The store admin can now overwrite the product content which will include modifications in product content, product type, and product settings.
Enhancements for an edge:
1. URL Pattern Enhancement
In version 10.0, we changed the URL pattern and followed the hierarchical structure as domain/language/group/category/product instead of domain/language/product/
The admin still has the option to adjust the URL pattern to utilize the old and new URL patterns based on the site settings.
2. Restrict Product Quantity to Order
In the v10.0 release, you can restrict the product quantity limit per cart and per customer with settings added to the Product Settings section. This enables the admin to restrict customers from purchasing particular items in specific quantities within a given time frame, and customers will receive a warning on the cart page if the product quantity exceeds the set restriction.
3. Overwrite and Duplicate Product Master Option
In the 10.0 version, the admin will have the provision to overwrite the Product Master Option title after assigning it to any product. In addition, the Option name and attribute name can be overwritten language-wise.
Furthermore, the admin may now duplicate the product master option with the product attribute and price.
4. Canvas Product Enhancement
