Version 10.1

What’s New:

1. Duplicate product settings from one product to another

Based on business requirements, the product settings for all or a few of the products are required to be the same. This made it a tedious task for the admin to configure and manage the settings in products separately.

We have included a “Duplicate Setting” option to product settings in the 10.1 release. It allows admins to replicate all or some specific settings to multiple products.

The list of products will be based on the same product type as the one that is selected.

2. Design, Generate and Download packing slips

The process of identifying items in a package is tedious for customers, order fulfilment teams and customer service agents.

The new release comes with an option to generate and download packing slips under the order section under shipment. With simple steps, you can modify the design template, generate slips and include the packing slips with the orders. If created from the order section, the packing slip will have the option to enter the box count and can be generated based on the created shipment.

3. Enable default order status for individual products and product types.

The order product statuses can be different for various products, product types, or even the order flow. The new release has a “Default Order Product Status” feature in the Order Status screen.

This enables the admin to set a default status for order products based on the product, product type (such as Standard Product, Predefined Product, etc.), and order flow (such as Upload Design, Designer Studio, Offline Order, etc.).

4. Define multiple printing areas on product pages

Release 10.1 has a “Page-wise size” interface in the Product section from where the admin can set printing sizes on different pages for standard products. For Promotional products, multiple products can be set up within a single product by overwriting the product size with this feature.

E.g., Include a letterhead and an envelope within a single product with a complete product “Letter”. Customers can design and order these in a single order.

5. Picsart Integration to upscale image resolution and remove background.

Go above market trends with OnPrintShop 10.1. Our Picsart API integration enables customers to remove the background from their images or even upscale image resolutions.

• Remove Background – This API detects the foreground object and auto-remove the background. This works for images with PNG and JPG extensions.
• Upscale – Based on the upscale factor it modifies the image resolution. This works only for PNG images.

Enhancements for an edge:

1. UI enhancement of Email Notifications section

Enhance user navigation experience with the new User Interface on the Email Notification section, where buttons are replaced with tabs.

All emails and notifications will now be centralized in one place. The Order Status Email and Quote Status Email are now available on the Email Notification screen.

2. Manage Preview Image Settings based on size range

The preview image DPI setting was formerly based on the product. This required the admin to set the common DPI across all sizes of a product.

Release 10.1 has moved the ‘preview image setting’ from the Product Setting screen to the Studio Setting. This enables the admin to manage the DPI settings of all the products from one place by setting the Preview Image DPI based on sizes.

3. Country Restriction Settings

On the Manage Site Access page, admins can allow or block access to a site from an individual or multiple countries’ IP addresses with “Country Based IP Management”.

The new column ‘Available for Default Store’ in the Country/States section enables the selected country/countries for the default store along with the Private stores.

4. Job Board for Workflow Admin

Release 10.1 has introduced a Job Board for workflow admins that enables them to simplify order processing and tracking. This comes with three view preferences along with the respective settings, drag and drop, and order update feature.

5. Template Category – Metatag Enhancement

From the “Page title, keyword setting” of the SEO section, the admin can add the common meta information category-wise by selecting the “Template Category” section.

6. Search Enhancements

OnPrintShop 10.1 has a new ‘fuzzy search’ which displays close-matched search results when any text is entered in the search box. The admin can configure if the search will display the Product, Template, or Both in the results with a setting from the site configuration section.

The revamped UI of the admin search is directed at how the search results are displayed. Upon entering the characters in the search bar, the result will be displayed in the pop-up.

Along with a front-side search enhancement release 10.1 has a revamped UI of the admin search too.

Looking at the admin search functionality, we have changed the way search results will be displayed. The first half section will display the results from the admin panel menu and in the later part, the results will be displayed from the three sections – ‘Orders’, ‘Customers’, and ‘Products.

7. Front Page UI Enhancement

In release 10.1, we made the following enhancement to the front store for a better user interface:

• Enhanced the mobile responsiveness of the browse design, and My Account pages like Order Listing, Images, Order Details, Quote Listing, Quote Details, QR Code Page, and Templates.
• Enhanced UI of the upload page to enhance the user experience and usability for customers.
• The CMS section has been added to the product listing – the admin can add any necessary content below the product listing block in the menu.
• Enhanced the UI of the Cart page and added blocks for Item Summary and Payment Summary. Now, if a customer wants to view an item in their cart, they can view it on the right side.

8. Mass Personalization Enhancement for Label Products

Release 10.1 quickens data entry in the mass template personalization process for small-scale products like Labels and Stickers. The customers will now have a form-fill-up option to add the required data manually.

Depending on the settings made by the admin, the customer will have either XLS file upload or Form Fill, or both options for mass personalization.

9. Proofing Tool Enhancement

We have made the Proofing Tool available for Photobook products in the 10.1 release. Visual proofing is made available for photobook products in the ‘modify design’ option under View/Update Order.

The proofing tool option will have the same Album page panel options, similar to the designer studio. Admins will be able to see all the comments and make the changes just like standard products.

10. Product Option and Option Rules Enhancement

Release 10.1 has a few significant enhancements in the ‘Product Option’ and ‘Option Rules’ section:

• The multiple options of “Upload Files” along with a “Hire Designer” setting has been unlocked for the ‘Product Options’ section.
• For calculating the ‘Master Options Attribute Price’, we have added a setting for additional lookup. Using this setting, the admin can take an additional lookup in Quantity, Area, or Total Area for the attribute price calculation.
• While creating the product option rule, a multiple selection dropdown will appear at the position of size selection.
• For better readability, the “Size, Quantity, and Hide Option” has been displayed on the rule description of the product option rule page.

11. Production Due Date for Admin

In case the order fulfillment is delayed for some reason, the previous version required the Production Due Date and the Delivery Due Date to be managed manually.

With Release 10.1, the admin can now view and edit these Due dates at their convenience from the Order Section at the ‘order level’ and the ‘order product level’. When the admin modifies the Production Due Date on the ‘order product level’, the Delivery Due Date gets recalculated automatically.

12. Display Text Color based on Background.

To give the customers a great product design experience, we have enhanced how the text color is displayed based on the dark mode or light mode in the Designer Studio.

With this enhancement, the text color automatically changes to white when the background is dark, and changes to black when the background is light.

13. 4over Integration.

In version 10.1, we have integrated the OnPrintShop store with 4over API. With the integrated platform, the admin can perform the following –

• sync/import product and product price, transfer order, update order statuses, import 4over orders, and Import 4over ship to address.
• personalize the product with what and how to display the 4over product on the front side.
