Enhancements

Ship Orders Grid User Interface (UI)

We are introducing the new Orders Grid UI, which offers users several improvements for enhanced fulfillment efficiency. The new enhanced Ship Orders Grid offers:

• Order Grid: Displays a comprehensive list of orders with detailed information for efficient processing. Currently shows orders from the last 90 days.
  
  
• Advanced Order Actions: Allows updating order statuses from Unfulfilled to Fulfilled to Shipped, canceling orders, voiding labels, and manually deleting orders.
• Batches: Manage batches seamlessly with creating, removing, and auto-closing options. Users can create new batches, add or remove orders using the Move to Batch button, and close batches manually or automatically when orders are fulfilled.
  
• Filters & Columns: Sort orders and apply common filters. Users can select and rearrange columns using the Columns settings. Filters include Date range, Order Status, Batches, Age, and Store name.
  
• Sorting: Columns such as Status, Batch, Status updated, Tracking number, and Created can be sorted in ascending or descending order.
  
• Manual Sync: Option to manually synchronize orders from linked marketplaces.
• Search Functionality: Search for orders via text or barcode scan based on the Order number, tracking number, Sender name, and SKU.
• Print Queue Panel: View the print queue when labels are being printed, with options to download or remove labels from the queue.
• Import Functionality: Import orders using existing CSV templates that support simplified and advanced eCommerce order templates.
  
• Hyperlinking: Order numbers are hyperlinked to the edit order modal for quick access to unfulfilled orders, and to the shipment history page for fulfilled, shipped, and canceled orders.
• Automation Rules: Apply existing automation rules directly from the orders grid.
• Zero State Display: A clean, empty state for the orders grid when there are no orders to display.
• Manual Order Deletion: Users can manually delete orders by selecting them from the grid, except for fulfilled, shipped, or canceled orders.
• Improved printing options: Print branded packing slips, get detailed shipping cost breakdowns, and email shipping labels. You can easily manage your print preferences through Printer Settings.
  

Default payment method

The update to the Ship Orders Grid introduces a new feature to help manage payment methods, ensuring a smooth printing process. If a user has not added a payment method or has not selected a default payment method, a Payment Method window will appear when they try to print. This window prompts the user to manage their payment settings. By clicking Manage Payment Methods, the user can open the payment settings page in a new tab, allowing them to add or select a default payment method without interrupting their workflow. Additionally, when a user adds their first payment method, it will automatically be the default for all transactions.

ERR Coversheet - Shipper Ref Label renamed to Memo/ Reference

We have renamed the Shipper Ref field to Memo/Reference in the ERR Coversheet Template. This change was made to eliminate confusion caused by inconsistent label names.

Previously, users entered values in the Memo/Reference field on the Create ERR screen, but the printed ERR coversheet displayed Shipper Ref, leading to misunderstandings. Users who print the ERR coversheet will now see Memo/Reference. This update ensures the label and the printed cover sheet are consistent across the screen.

Residential address verification

The residential address verification update lets users mark an address as residential instead of commercial (business/company address). With the new enhancement, users can change the address type (Residential or Commercial) during shipment before printing by clicking the Residential box in any shipping workflow.

Additionally, users can choose to make Address Validation (AV) optional or mandatory through Settings > Admin Options > Address Verification. Previously, addresses had to be validated through the Sender and Recipient address book, and users had to validate the address before shipment. Now, users can control this validation through settings.

There are three options under Admin Options > Address Verification:

• Get Suggestions: The system provides address suggestions based on entered keywords, and users can select a valid address to proceed.
• Automatically Apply Changes: The system automatically corrects the address to the closest valid match.
• No Change: The system does not validate the address and uses the entered address as is.
  

Preset - Ability to add/edit Sender address

Users can now add a Sender address to Presets. They can include a Sender address when creating a new Preset or edit existing ones to include a Sender address. To include a Sender address from the Create New Preset screen, select the address under Sender and select one of the following options:

• To make a change to the currently selected address, select Edit sender address, make the necessary changes, and select Done.
• To enter a new sender address, select Add new sender address, enter the address, and select Done.
• To select a different sender address from your address book, select View all senders and select the desired address.

Switzerland VAT ID number

The Swiss tax authorities are updating the VAT registration and vendor collection model for low-value consignments to meet the new VAT ID requirements. These changes apply only to international shipments.

The field previously labeled Customs Exemptions has been changed to Customs Exemptions/VAT ID (optional). The VAT ID must be 15 characters long and is case-sensitive.

Entering a valid VAT ID is optional and left to the user's discretion. The system will not validate the VAT ID. This update affects all products that support international shipments to Switzerland via USPS.
