<p>Welcome to what&#8217;s new on Shopfront for July 2021! We&#8217;ve got a number of new features coming up in the next six months and a lot of our current development is going towards implementing those (thus why the last couple of months have been a bit lean for features). <a href="https://shopfront.com.au/blog/post/669" title="Coming to Shopfront: 2021 (2nd Half)">Check out what&#8217;s coming soon to Shopfront in our new blog post!</a></p>

<p></p>


New on Shopfront: July 2021


<p><strong>Update 17th of August 2021:</strong> These changes have been rolled out to all Vendors, if you&#8217;re experiencing any issues, please get in touch with us.</p>



<p>We&#8217;re making some adjustments to the way Shopfront interacts with Xero, for most people using the integration you should not notice any changes. </p>



<p></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Changes are Being Made</h2>



<p>Currently, the Shopfront to Xero integration works by connecting one Shopfront Vendor (which could have multiple Outlets) to a single Xero account (and through that account to a single Xero tenant).</p>



<p>This change will allow you to connect each Shopfront Outlet to a different Xero tenant (which can be across different Xero accounts).</p>



<p>Through this change, you won&#8217;t be required to have the same settings for each Outlet (although, we do recommend it if they are connected to the same Xero tenant).</p>



<p>Alongside this, we&#8217;re also bringing a new coat of paint to the settings page, with built in help and a cleaner interface to make configuring and mapping the integration easier.</p>



<p></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why We&#8217;re Making the Change</h2>



<p>Throughout the years, we&#8217;ve had a number of store owners request the ability to connect a different Xero tenant to each Outlet, however we&#8217;ve always had the same principle as Xero where one business should be one Shopfront Vendor. However, more and more stores are coming onto Shopfront that wish to share product files, see inventory across locations and more but also have multiple owners and account for each location separately.</p>



<p></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When the Changes Will Happen</h2>



<p>This change is currently being rolled out to all stores and should be completed by early next week.</p>



<p></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What you Need to do</h2>



<p>If you&#8217;re a Vendor with only a single Outlet, no changes will be required and your integration will continue to work as per-normal.</p>



<p>If you&#8217;re a Vendor with multiple Outlets, you might want to change to using our new multi-tenant support. If you do, all that you need to do is go to your Xero integration settings once the changes have been rolled out and change the configuration of each Outlet like you would currently do with all Outlets.</p>



<p></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What About the MYOB Integration</h2>



<p>Currently this change is exclusive to the Xero integration as there are significantly more uses of the Xero integration and the multi-tenant model of Xero makes it simple to connect multiple Outlets whereas MYOB&#8217;s company-file model is a bit more complex.</p>



<p>Whilst there are no current plans to make a similar change, we will consider doing so in the future.</p>


Upcoming Changes to the Xero Integration

New on Shopfront: May 2021


<p>Welcome to what&#8217;s new on Shopfront for April 2021! Our Security Centre is live, new reordering features and a few bug fixes made it into the changes for this month.</p>



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



<p><strong>Security Centre</strong></p>



<p>The Security Centre is now here!</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="447" src="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-1.26.05-pm-1024x447.png" alt="" class="wp-image-612" srcset="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-1.26.05-pm-1024x447.png 1024w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-1.26.05-pm-300x131.png 300w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-1.26.05-pm-768x335.png 768w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-1.26.05-pm.png 1173w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px" /></figure></div>



<p>Whilst still in beta, the security centre is a useful tool to assist with tracking and identifying user behaviour. Currently we&#8217;re only tracking a couple of patterns but we&#8217;re planning on adding a lot more. We&#8217;re also tracking a number of raw events including all logins, the cash drawer opening, user modifications and more. Eventually the security centre will replace the action reports.</p>



<p>While the Security Centre is in beta, it&#8217;s available for all customers, but once it has finished the beta period, it&#8217;ll only be available to users with a premium subscription.</p>



<p><strong>Reorder Rounding</strong></p>



<p>If you reorder stock using either our sales or reorder point generation we&#8217;ve added the ability to round the calculation to individual products.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="516" height="773" src="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-1.02.02-pm.png" alt="" class="wp-image-609" srcset="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-1.02.02-pm.png 516w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-04-27-at-1.02.02-pm-200x300.png 200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 516px) 100vw, 516px" /></figure></div>



<p>This is designed to assist with prevent Shopfront from recommending you order items if the supplier only accepts cases. There are four different rounding options which can be applied:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>No Rounding (default, how Shopfront was previously working),</li><li>Round Up to Case,</li><li>Round Down to Case,</li><li>Round Naturally to Case (if it&#8217;s closer to zero it&#8217;ll round down, if it&#8217;s closer to the case quantity it&#8217;ll round up)</li></ul>



<p>So if you&#8217;ve got the setting set as Round Down to Case and Shopfront was previously going to suggest 2 cases and 3 items, it&#8217;ll now only suggest 2 cases.</p>



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



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Automatically cleared old already synchronised sales from the local computer to free up disk space,</li><li>You can now search for all customers not in a group on the customers page,</li><li>[Linkly / Tyro] Integrated EFTPOS receipts are now stored and are able to be reprinted,</li><li>[Linkly] Added support for application hub,</li></ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bug Fixes</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Automatic capped pricing tags now appear in the classification page,</li><li>Applying a negative discount to a package which contains a discounted component calculates the price on in a more understandable way,</li><li>Parked nested products (e.g. packages within packages) no longer lose their discount when retrieved,</li><li>Updating a deleted customer&#8217;s email address (through the sales history) no longer results in a failed upload,</li><li>Price sets no longer reset to default during a full synchronisation,</li><li>Complex promotions involving family pricing with part of the family being within multiple promotions correctly distribute the remaining family price,</li><li>Integrated users no longer appear in the general settings page</li></ul>


New on Shopfront: April 2021


<p>Welcome to what&#8217;s new on Shopfront for March 2021! A new integration marketplace, a number of visual fixes and a collection of bugs squashed round out this month.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Upcoming Changes</h2>



<p>Next month, we&#8217;re implementing limits for how long actions and revisions are stored, currently both are stored indefinitely but as of next month actions will be stored for one year and revisions will be stored for two years. After the time period has expired the action or revision will be inaccessible and permanently deleted.</p>



<p>We don&#8217;t foresee this causing any issues as that data is rarely accessed. If you do have a use for that information, please get in touch with us.</p>



<p>We&#8217;re also looking at launching the beta version of our Security Centre next month, more details will be available soon, but it&#8217;ll be available for all customers while it&#8217;s in beta, once out of beta it&#8217;ll be only available to customers on our premium plan.</p>



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



<p><strong>Integration Marketplace</strong></p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="557" src="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-22-at-3.00.17-pm-1024x557.png" alt="" class="wp-image-594" srcset="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-22-at-3.00.17-pm-1024x557.png 1024w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-22-at-3.00.17-pm-300x163.png 300w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-22-at-3.00.17-pm-768x418.png 768w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-22-at-3.00.17-pm-1536x836.png 1536w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-22-at-3.00.17-pm.png 1538w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px" /></figure></div>



<p>Our new integration marketplace is live! It&#8217;s a redesigned integration page that will feature not only officially made integrations from Shopfront but also integrations made by other companies that have been approved by Shopfront. </p>



<p>We&#8217;re currently in the process of reviewing a number of applications, so expect to see more integrations appearing shortly!</p>



<p>Once an integration has been approved, you&#8217;ll be able to find more details about it on the login news and our website.</p>



<p><strong>Mobile Ordering</strong></p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="339" height="605" src="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-22-at-3.20.37-pm.png" alt="" class="wp-image-595" srcset="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-22-at-3.20.37-pm.png 339w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-22-at-3.20.37-pm-168x300.png 168w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 339px) 100vw, 339px" /></figure></div>



<p>We&#8217;re progressively working through the way a number of pages work on mobile devices to ensure they&#8217;re easy to use and suit the screen of mobile devices. This month we&#8217;ve improved the display of the order edit screen.</p>



<p>All of the functionality of the desktop version is available and we&#8217;ll keep tweaking the design to make it easier to use.</p>



<p><strong>Scales</strong></p>



<p>As mentioned late last year in our coming soon post, as of this month, we&#8217;ve added beta support for serial weight scales. Not only are the scales easy to setup and use, but they don&#8217;t require any third-party or installed dependencies and support all desktop operating systems (Windows, macOS and Linux).</p>



<p>Whilst this feature is in beta, you&#8217;ll need to get in touch with us to begin using it.</p>



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

New on Shopfront: March 2021


<p>Welcome to what&#8217;s new on Shopfront for February 2021! We&#8217;ve got new ways to test promotions, a whole bunch of accounting integration improvements and more!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Upcoming Changes</h2>



<p>Before getting on to the normal programming, we&#8217;re just giving you a heads up with a couple of upcoming changes.</p>



<p>During March we&#8217;re moving to a new mail provider to improve delivery time and reduce failed emails, because of this, we&#8217;re changing where emails come from that are sent from within Shopfront. Currently when you&#8217;re sending receipts to customers they&#8217;re from <em>receipts@[your-subdomain].onshopfront.com</em> and statements are from <em>statements@[your-subdomain].onshopfront.com</em>. </p>



<p>This will now change to instead all come from <em>[your-subdomain]@onshopfront.com</em>. You&#8217;ll also receive more emails from this email address which were previously coming from <em>noreply@onshopfront.com</em>. Nothing is required on your side with these changes, however we thought we&#8217;d give you a heads-up in case you have any email rules setup for Shopfront emails.</p>



<p>The second major upcoming feature which is already rolling out is our new authentication for integrations. Previously when you approved an integration they essentially acted as you and received all of the same permissions as you. This worked fairly well, however it lead to not knowing exactly what each integration would be doing and meant that integrations would be affected when your permissions were changed.</p>



<p>Instead, integrations will now specify which permissions they require and when authenticated they&#8217;ll be created as an internal user within your POS system (which will automatically be removed if you revoke the integration). This leads to more transparency with what integrations are doing and prevents integrations from losing access to some features due to permission changes. When authenticating the integration, you&#8217;ll now be required to use a user who has the <code>modify_integrations</code> permission (same as before), but also all of the permissions the integration is requiring.</p>



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



<p><strong>Promotion Simulator</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="622" src="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-02-at-8.52.18-am-1024x622.png" alt="" class="wp-image-579" srcset="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-02-at-8.52.18-am-1024x622.png 1024w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-02-at-8.52.18-am-300x182.png 300w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-02-at-8.52.18-am-768x466.png 768w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-02-at-8.52.18-am.png 1472w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px" /></figure>



<p>Want to test out a promotion before it has started or need to test it out on a non-register? Now you can with the promotion simulator. Simply edit a promotion, enable the promotion simulator in the bottom right-hand corner and add the products you want to test.</p>



<p><strong>Dark Mode</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="622" src="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-02-at-8.59.07-am-1024x622.png" alt="" class="wp-image-580" srcset="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-02-at-8.59.07-am-1024x622.png 1024w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-02-at-8.59.07-am-300x182.png 300w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-02-at-8.59.07-am-768x466.png 768w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Screen-Shot-2021-03-02-at-8.59.07-am.png 1476w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px" /></figure>



<p>Currently in beta, dark mode is now available for all stores. You can enable the dark mode by going to the Menu &gt; Setup &gt; General &gt; Registers, select the register you want to enable the setting for and then change the dark mode setting to one of <em>Force Light Mode</em> (default), <em>Force Dark Mode</em> or <em>Auto</em> (this will use your operating system setting to determine whether to display Shopfront in dark or light mode).</p>



<p>We&#8217;re still improving how it looks on each page, but it should be ready to use in the vast majority of places.</p>



<p><strong>Import Gift Cards</strong></p>



<p>Have some gift cards to create without selling them? Now you can import gift cards directly from a CSV file. Head over to the Menu &gt; Customer Management &gt; Gift Cards &gt; Functions &gt; Import Gift Cards to get started, you&#8217;ll need a CSV ready with the following columns:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><code>code</code>,</li><li><code>balance</code>,</li><li><code>original</code> (optional),</li><li><code>outlet</code> (for multi-store vendors)</li></ul>

New on Shopfront: February 2021


<p>Welcome to what&#8217;s new on Shopfront for January 2021! We&#8217;ve got a whole heap of changes that have been released this month due to holding the feature releases from last month.</p>



<p><em>Note: Some of these features are gradually rolling out to stores, all stores are expected to have received them by the end of next week.</em></p>



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



<p><strong>Clone Promotions</strong></p>



<div class="wp-block-image is-style-default"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="995" height="232" src="http://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-9.05.06-am.png" alt="" class="wp-image-556" srcset="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-9.05.06-am.png 995w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-9.05.06-am-300x70.png 300w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-9.05.06-am-768x179.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px" /></figure></div>



<p>If you want to create a similar promotion to an already existing promotion without having to enter all the details back in, we&#8217;ve now made it simple by adding the ability to clone a promotion. Simply tick a single promotion on the promotions page and then press the <em>Clone Promotion</em> button which appears at the bottom. This will create an exact copy of the promotion with the name having <em>(Copy)</em> appended to it.</p>



<p>The ability to clone promotional criteria within a promotion will be coming later this year.</p>



<p><strong>Exclude Promotional Categories From Sending Promotions to Integrations</strong></p>



<p>If you&#8217;re integrated with an eCommerce store, whether it be your own custom store, the LMG eCommerce stores or Shop MyLocal you can now prevent some promotions from sending to it by excluding a promotional category from sending to the API.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="436" height="596" src="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-9.28.26-am.png" alt="" class="wp-image-557" srcset="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-9.28.26-am.png 436w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-9.28.26-am-219x300.png 219w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px" /></figure></div>



<p>To enable or disable sending promotions to integrations, you&#8217;ll need to go to the promotion categories page (Menu &gt; Setup &gt; Promotion Categories), from here you can either create a new promotion and enable or disable the <em>Send promotions within this category to integrations</em> toggle or if you want to edit an existing category, select <em>Edit</em> next to the category and then enable / disable the <em>Include in Integrations</em> toggle.</p>



<p><em>Note, custom API integrations can access and apply promotions directly so disabling this setting may not affect promotions appearing on your site &#8211; if you have any questions, contact your web developer. For web developers, this toggle directly affects the results of ProductType &gt; barcodes &gt; promotionPrice and outletPromotionPrice in the GraphQL API.</em></p>



<p><strong>Filtering by Additional Information</strong></p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="408" src="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-9.39.24-am-1024x408.png" alt="" class="wp-image-560" srcset="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-9.39.24-am-1024x408.png 1024w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-9.39.24-am-300x119.png 300w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-9.39.24-am-768x306.png 768w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-9.39.24-am-1536x611.png 1536w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-9.39.24-am.png 1573w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px" /></figure></div>



<p>Shopfront has always had the ability to add additional information to products which has previously been used to add information to your integrated website or to display on shelf tickets, however it didn&#8217;t have much use within Shopfront itself, now you&#8217;re able to use your additional information to help your staff find product through a combination of filters.</p>



<p>Firstly, you&#8217;re going to need to <a href="https://support.onshopfront.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001656532-Setting-up-Additional-Ticket-Information">setup some additional information</a>, and then add it to some products (which can be done at the bottom of the product edit page).</p>



<p>Once you&#8217;ve setup your additional information there are two places you can filter by it, the products page and the sell screen through a sales key.</p>



<p>To filter on the products page, simply open the page (Menu &gt; Stock &gt; Products), press <em>Show Filters</em> and then type or select which value you&#8217;d like to filter by and the products will be automatically filtered.</p>



<p>To filter on the sell screen via a sales key, you&#8217;ll first need to <a href="https://support.onshopfront.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000003211-Sales-Keys">add the <em>Search by additional information</em> sale key</a>, then on the sell screen tap the new key, select the field and then enter a value.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="317" src="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-10.03.43-am-1024x317.png" alt="" class="wp-image-561" srcset="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-10.03.43-am-1024x317.png 1024w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-10.03.43-am-300x93.png 300w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-10.03.43-am-768x238.png 768w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-10.03.43-am.png 1120w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px" /></figure></div>



<p><strong>Customer Merge</strong></p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="501" src="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-10.23.37-am-1024x501.png" alt="" class="wp-image-566" srcset="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-10.23.37-am-1024x501.png 1024w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-10.23.37-am-300x147.png 300w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-10.23.37-am-768x376.png 768w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-10.23.37-am.png 1509w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px" /></figure></div>



<p>Introducing the much requested feature, customer merging, this is the first is a series of releases we&#8217;ll be doing this year to allow merging between multiple objects (merging products will come out later this year). Performing a customer merge allows you to combine multiple customer&#8217;s details, sales, payments and more into a single customer.</p>



<p>It&#8217;s a slightly complex feature, so we&#8217;d suggest <a href="https://support.onshopfront.com/hc/en-us/articles/360055634631-Customer-Merge">checking out our help article</a> to learn how to use it.</p>



<p><strong>Minimum / Maximum Order Values</strong></p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="541" height="613" src="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-10.14.20-am.png" alt="" class="wp-image-563" srcset="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-10.14.20-am.png 541w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-10.14.20-am-265x300.png 265w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 541px) 100vw, 541px" /></figure></div>



<p>If you want to prevent ordering from a supplier if the order doesn&#8217;t meet a minimum value or exceeds a maximum value, you can now set these values directly on the supplier edit page.</p>



<p>This doesn&#8217;t affect order generation in any way, but it will prevent orders from being sent if they&#8217;re outside the range specified (you can leave the value blank to ignore it).</p>



<p><strong>Limit Reorder Quantity</strong></p>



<p>Alongside minimum and maximum order values, we&#8217;ve also added the ability to limit the reorder quantity when generating orders from sales or reorder points (or both). This doesn&#8217;t prevent orders from sending with higher quantities, but it prevents Shopfront from suggesting higher quantities.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="525" height="674" src="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-10.19.11-am.png" alt="" class="wp-image-564" srcset="https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-10.19.11-am.png 525w, https://wp.shopfront.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screen-Shot-2021-01-27-at-10.19.11-am-234x300.png 234w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px" /></figure></div>

<p>We&#8217;re opening our integrations page to third-party developers so you&#8217;re able to easily connect with the applications you use the most to improve your efficiency.

<p>You&#8217;ve asked and we&#8217;ve listened, we&#8217;re building an eCommerce platform due to have a beta release in early 2021.
