Version 8.10.5 Release Notes On February 26, 2014 we will launch the Version 8.10.5 of its Ecommerce platform. This release will focus on numerous enhancement requests from our merchants, including feature enhancements, bug fixes, and some new tools! Included in this release: Updates to Product List View The first enhancement was intended to improve the usability of the Product List page. The changes included in this release includes reducing the amount of scroll needed, making the various product types searchable, and improve the performance of the page. The new page will reduce some of the vertical space used before getting to the product list and to more quickly get to the product list. Updates to Product Details Page Some improvements when adding/editing products was also introduced. These updates include reducing the vertical scroll by rearranging some elements, including the Sort order, Product Images, and the Stock Quantity values. In addition to the mentioned updates, users can now upload multiple images when creating the product.
Updated Images tab The Gallery tab has been renamed to Images and includes a new layout and some new functionality. The product images are now listed out in a grid format, showing the merchant their Alt and Caption values from a single view. Merchants can also upload multiple images to their products, including the ability to drag and drop images from their computer to the site.
More Personalization & Checkout Question options In an effort to give merchants more options on how they merchandise their products and storefronts, we are adding the following Personalization options: - Color Swatch allows merchants to define colors (1, 2, or 3) options, or a pattern. Ideal for sites that allow for non-sku specific options. Merchants can upload HEX values or image attachments. - Color Palette allows merchants to ask customers to define their colors, by providing them with a color wheel. Customers can select any HEX value. - File Upload merchants can allow customers to attach basic files to their purchase. Ideal for things like logos, or large text files needed to define a product. Supported file types include:.bmp,.csv,.doc,.gif,.jpg,.jpeg,.pdf,.png,.ppt,.txt,.xls,.txt The following options are now available on Checkout questions: - Color Swatch - Color Palette
BONUS: Updates were also made to the Personalization section, including some reformatting and making the area consistent with other areas of the control panel. Sort order is now used to order Personalization questions (the blue arrows are finally gone, yay!).
