Happy April, everyone! Seems like we start all of these posts by saying ‘we accomplished so much this month’ but it’s true. Our team managed to crank out over 30 features and fixes plus six new integrations. Wowza! Want to learn more about what we’ve been up to this past month? Then keep on readin’.
XLSX Import
No more wasting time converting your files into a CSV. Upload and import your XLSX or XLS files directly!
Walmart: Now Supporting Drop Ship Vendors
Previously, Order Desk could only download Walmart Marketplace orders. Now, though, if you are a Walmart Dropship Vendor, you don’t have to go the EDI route. You can now download your orders directly from Order Desk. Read about DSV setup instructions here.
DST Appointment Adjustment
Your recurring appointment times will no longer be off by an hour after the next daylight savings time shift. We didn’t get this done in time for the US, but UK/EU customers are all set.
New Autocomplete Options for Variations and Checkout Data
If you go set some defaults on the Store Settings > Defaults page, we’ll use those options as autocomplete defaults when setting up variations and checkout data.
Zapier: Set Order Data Via a Zap
You can now use Zapier to create a zap to set checkout data or order metadata.
Move Rules Between Events
You can now move rules between different events to make for much easier rule management. WHA?! ?
New Sequential Number Feature
If you need to set a sequential number on your orders (even across stores) you can now do this with a rule. Reach out and we’ll be happy to help you set this up!
We also have six new integrations!
- CustomCat – print on demand integration
- 3BM IT Solutions – fulfillment integration (EU)
- Snapstics – fulfillment integration
- Star Editions – print-on-demand integration (UK)
- Affirm – gateway integration
- Inventory Helper – Order Desk integration to send low-stock inventory updates
