<p>Phone support will now be included on all plans and we&#8217;re also removing the early adopter discount if it was applicable to you.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why are Prices Changing?</h2>



<p>Shopfront has never had a price increase since it launched 7 years ago. In that time we’ve released a huge amount of features, completed a full redesign, increased the size of our team and implemented significant infrastructure changes to create and maintain a resilient, fast and reliable platform that’s available everywhere at any time of day.</p>



<p>Increasing the price of our subscription allows us to invest further in improving the quality of our service, adding brand new features and continuing to integrate with other leading platforms to improve your business.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can I Lock in my Price?</h2>



<p>All subscriptions will be automatically adjusted on the 31st of January 2024 to use our new prices and any invoice issued on or after the 31st of January will be charged with your new subscription price.&nbsp;</p>



<p>If you’re currently on a monthly subscription, you can change to a yearly subscription before the 31st of January to lock in the price for one year.</p>



<p>If you’re already on a yearly subscription, please get in touch with us before the 31st of January and we can organise for you to prepay your subscription for an additional year.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What am I Currently Paying?</h2>



<p>If you’re not sure what subscription you’re on, you can check the <a href="http://onshopfront.com/login?intended=/settings/account" title="">Account &amp; Billing page</a> in Shopfront or find the last invoice that was emailed to you (subject is <em>Payment Received</em>). If you’re still unsure, feel free to get in touch with us.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">I Want to Cancel my Subscription</h2>



<p>We’re sorry to hear that and would encourage you to get in touch with us, but if you wish to cancel your subscription you can do so from the Account &amp; Billing page within Shopfront. Make sure you’ve retrieved everything you need to from the system as once you cancel and the subscription expires your data will be automatically deleted.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">I Have More Questions</h2>



<p>You’re always welcome to get in touch with our support team by using the <a href="https://shopfront.com.au/contact" title="">contact form</a> on our website.</p>

</div>


<p>Want to implement a staged approach to sending orders and receiving invoices? Shopfront now lets you create an order, invoice, return or credit note and mark it for review from other users, allowing them to comment, add attachments, track changes for the order and approve or decline the order.</p>



<p>We also have a number of options to automatically create reviews (such as when there is a discrepancy in the total of an invoice) and to enforce features (such as a minimum number of approvals before a review can be completed).</p>



<p>Order reviews are currently only available to stores using the premium plan.</p>

</div>


<p>We&#8217;ve just added the ability to upload an attachment to an order! Keep all your order forms, invoices and correspondence relating to an order in one place by uploading it all into Shopfront.</p>



<p>There is currently no limit (other than file size) for the amount of attachments for an order and there is currently no limit to the amount of time attachments are stored on Shopfront. </p>



<p></p>



<p><strong>Maximum Stock on Hand</strong></p>



<p>Ever wanted to ensure you don&#8217;t have more stock on hand for a specific product than what can fit on the shelf? With the new maximum stock on hand feature Shopfront will now warn you when the quantity you&#8217;re attempting to order breaches the maximum value set in the product edit page and contextually show you when maximums may be exceeded.</p>

<p><strong>Shopview</strong></p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1204" height="678" src="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/integrations.pos_.nick_3005_-edited.png" alt="" class="wp-image-779" srcset="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/integrations.pos_.nick_3005_-edited.png 1204w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/integrations.pos_.nick_3005_-edited-300x169.png 300w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/integrations.pos_.nick_3005_-edited-1024x577.png 1024w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/integrations.pos_.nick_3005_-edited-768x432.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px" /></figure>
</div>


<p>Shopview is a brand new product from Shopfront which allows owners who have multiple stores to manage and share data between them with ease. Create a master file to manage products externally from Shopfront, develop your own banner group style promotions, run reports across all of your stores (and all of your data), manage gift cards and more.</p>



<p>Whilst pricing and features aren&#8217;t finalised yet, Shopview will soon be entering into alpha testing for with a number of stores.</p>



<p>More details will be released shortly after live testing!</p>



<p></p>



<p><strong>Product Merge</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="631" src="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/testing.pos_.nick_-1024x631.png" alt="" class="wp-image-780" srcset="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/testing.pos_.nick_-1024x631.png 1024w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/testing.pos_.nick_-300x185.png 300w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/testing.pos_.nick_-768x473.png 768w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/testing.pos_.nick_.png 1450w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px" /></figure>



<p>You&#8217;ve asked and we&#8217;ve listened, start merging those duplicate products! Currently in beta to a number of stores, this works similarly to our customer and supplier merge.</p>



<p>Simply select the products you would like to merge together, select the specific details you want to keep from each and build your new product on the left-hand side. This will then transfer all sales, purchases and more into the new product. </p>



<p></p>



<p><strong>New Ticketing System</strong></p>



<p>Since inception, Shopfront has been exporting ticket files in DBF, CSV and XML formats using hardware connect which could then be used along with DesignPro or a mail merge program to design your tickets.</p>



<p>Shortly, Shopfront will be releasing a brand-new ticketing system, which will come with a number of prebuilt templates and the ability to build your own.</p>



<p>Not only will this allow you to export and print tickets without having to leave Shopfront, but it brings a new range of features and functionality previously not possible (transforming and displaying attributes not exported, tracking templates by product, printing multiple different templates on the same page and more).</p>



<p>It&#8217;s currently undergoing development and testing within Shopfront and we&#8217;re aiming to release an alpha version to a number of stores by the end of the year.</p>



<p></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Major Features</h2>



<p><strong>Receipts as Attachments</strong></p>



<p>This highly requested feature finally arrives in Shopfront! You can now specify multiple attachments to email to a customer, including other receipts!</p>



<p>It&#8217;s all powered by our receipt template engine, simply create an email receipt that you want to use as the body of the email, including whatever details you&#8217;d like (which can include information on the sale, just like previously), then create however many A4 receipt templates you desire as attachments (for example, you might want to attach a normal A4 receipt, plus another receipt template that contains the terms of sale).</p>



<p>Once everything has been created, simply configure the email receipt from the Receipt List or by pressing the cog when editing the email receipt and add your attachments in.</p>



<p>Attachment names can even include dynamic fields from the current sale.</p>



<p></p>

New on Shopfront: February &#038; March 2023


<p>Welcome to what&#8217;s new on Shopfront for January 2023 (and December 2022). We&#8217;ve got quite a number of changes that were held back in the last couple of months until the festive season was finished and they&#8217;re now available!</p>



<p><em>Note: Some of these changes are gradually rolling out to stores, some of the changes may not be received in your store for a couple of weeks</em></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Major Features</h2>



<p><strong>New Account &amp; Billing UI</strong></p>



<p>As the new year comes in, so does a new UI, the Account &amp; Billing section has had a redesign to be easier and clearer to use.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="701" src="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screenshot-2023-01-30-at-12.47.56-pm-1024x701.png" alt="" class="wp-image-753" srcset="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screenshot-2023-01-30-at-12.47.56-pm-1024x701.png 1024w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screenshot-2023-01-30-at-12.47.56-pm-300x205.png 300w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screenshot-2023-01-30-at-12.47.56-pm-768x526.png 768w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screenshot-2023-01-30-at-12.47.56-pm.png 1277w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px" /></figure>



<p>The new UI allows for the update of payment details separate to the update of plans, makes it easier to define the registers &amp; outlets you&#8217;re using and provides additional information on features available on each plan (and why you might not be able to downgrade).</p>



<p>We&#8217;ve also added the ability for you to put your Shopfront account &#8220;on ice&#8221; for when you don&#8217;t need active access to Shopfront, but you do need your data to remain on Shopfront&#8217;s servers and not be deleted.</p>



<p><strong>Fulfilment API</strong></p>



<p>We&#8217;ve also released our brand new Fulfilment API. For developers this provides an easy way for their integrations to inject orders into Shopfront for picking, packing and collecting. For users it provides consistency and an easy flow no matter where the orders come from.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="568" src="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screen-Shot-2023-01-30-at-12.59.27-pm-1024x568.png" alt="" class="wp-image-756" srcset="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screen-Shot-2023-01-30-at-12.59.27-pm-1024x568.png 1024w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screen-Shot-2023-01-30-at-12.59.27-pm-300x166.png 300w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screen-Shot-2023-01-30-at-12.59.27-pm-768x426.png 768w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screen-Shot-2023-01-30-at-12.59.27-pm-1536x851.png 1536w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screen-Shot-2023-01-30-at-12.59.27-pm-2048x1135.png 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px" /></figure>



<p>If you&#8217;re using an integration that has implemented the Fulfilment API, you&#8217;ll now see a new tab at the bottom of the sell screen called <em>Fulfilment</em>, by when you receive an order you&#8217;ll get a notification and all existing orders can be found there, simply press the order you want and then follow the prompts to process the order.</p>



<p>If you&#8217;re a developer and want to know how to start using this, check out our <a href="https://developer.onshopfront.com/documentation/How%20To/Fulfilment" title="">how-to guide in the developer documentation</a>.</p>

New on Shopfront: October 2022


<p>Welcome to what&#8217;s new on Shopfront for September 2022. We&#8217;re rolling out a couple of major changes to stocktaking and price calculations to make your data even more accurate.</p>



<p><em>Note: Some of these changes are gradually rolling out to stores, all stores are expected to have received them in the next couple of weeks.</em></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Major Features</h2>



<p><strong>Advanced Stocktake Confirmation</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="932" height="281" src="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-13-at-10.27.12-am.png" alt="" class="wp-image-718" srcset="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-13-at-10.27.12-am.png 932w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-13-at-10.27.12-am-300x90.png 300w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-13-at-10.27.12-am-768x232.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px" /></figure>



<p>In order to clarify and guarantee correctness, Shopfront will now ask for confirmation on calculation of stock-on-hand when Shopfront cannot automatically determine the actual stock count with 100% accuracy.  </p>



<p>Typically, these events occur when counting your stock live whilst doing sales, especially if stock is in multiple locations within your store.</p>



<p>If Shopfront believes any stock count may be incorrect, it will display the new confirmation screen after the stocktake is completed, but before the stocktake is applied.</p>



<p>You&#8217;ll still be able to view your variance and modify your stock count on the finalise screen before applying the stocktake.</p>



<p></p>



<p><strong>Promotion and Price List Calculation taking into account country-specific price rules</strong></p>



<p>Shopfront has introduced a new setting, <em>Price Rounding Mode</em>. This setting allows you to define how Shopfront should handle prices when the calculation would drop to more decimal places than the currency you sell in supports (e.g. price calculation would require three decimal places, but you sell only to two decimal places).</p>



<p>It features two options, <em>Round</em> and <em>Redistribute</em>. By default stores will run on <em>Redistribute</em> mode. For examples and further information, click on the question mark next to the setting in the General Setup.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
