What's new on Shopamine

AI For Products Descriptions & SEO   [TAG_DEPLOYED]

The latest AI upgrade allows our users to leverage Chat GPT AI to effortlessly create descriptions, meta descriptions, alt tags, and more using predefined keywords while adhering to Google's SEO standards.

New Features

1. Batch Functionality for Changing Tax Class on Items: We’ve introduced a new batch functionality that allows you to change the tax class on multiple items at once. 
2. Address for Pickup on Orders with Parcel Shipping: For orders that are shipped to a parcel shop, the store admin will now see three addresses in the order details: the delivery address, billing address, and the newly added shipping address. This addition of the “Address for Pickup” in the administration panel ensures that all relevant shipping information is easily accessible, improving order management and reducing the potential for errors.

Optimizations and Improvements

This update includes fixes for order filtering by user type, item export stability, variant creation in the admin panel, PayPal integration, and promotion popups.

Updates

• Back-in-Stock Notification Expansion: We've significantly expanded the Back in Stock notification feature to support all different website settings and configurations. This enhancement ensures that users can now receive notifications seamlessly, regardless of their online store's specific setup or customization. This update aims to improve user experience by providing timely and accurate stock availability alerts across a wider range of e-commerce platforms.

Optimizations and Improvements

We addressed several Elastic Search bugs to improve search functionality and reliability and made some smaller improvements in our administration panel.

New Features

Slovenian Lemmatization and Mobile Special Characters in Elastic Search:

• We’ve enhanced our Elastic Search functionality with support for Slovenian lemmatization. This means the search engine can now recognize different forms of Slovenian words and match them correctly, improving the accuracy of search results.
• Additionally, we’ve added a feature to handle mobile special characters. Users can now search for terms like "čebela" or "voziček" even if they type "cebela" or "vozicek" without special characters. This makes search more intuitive, especially for mobile users who might find it cumbersome to type special characters.

AI for Product Descriptions & SEO:

• We've introduced an AI-powered tool that helps users generate product descriptions, meta descriptions, alt tags, and more using Chat GPT AI. This tool allows you to input predefined keywords, ensuring all content adheres to Google’s SEO standards.
• Note: This feature is still under development. While it is visible in the administration panel, it is not yet fully functional.

Optimizations and Improvements:

This week, we resolved the PayPal checkout bug and improved Admin UI/UX.

Shopamine CSS Editor   [TAG_DEPLOYED]

We’re excited to introduce the Shopamine CSS Editor, which allows advanced users to write their own CSS directly at the Skin level or Node level. This means you can easily change or override existing CSS for any specific page of your website or globally for the entire Skin. 

The sky is the limit! Whether you’re a developer, a team, or an agency, you can customize websites built in Shopamine to achieve a cutting-edge design and stand out from the competition. Our template, TheOne, combined with the CSS Editor, offers all the customization you will ever need.

New Features

1. User-Friendly Variants for Items

Description: We’ve revamped how items with variants are displayed and managed, making the interface more intuitive and user-friendly.

Details:

• Added support for displaying either a variant chooser image or a specification image on the variants chooser.
• Introduced the ability to select variants from a grid view.
• Optimised the user experience for selecting variants with multiple specifications, such as colour and size, ensuring that the stock display updates according to the selected variant.

2. Recently Viewed Items: 

We have introduced a new feature that displays recently viewed items to store users. You can enable this feature on both the single-item page and in the basket.

3. Compare Items Feature: 

We’ve developed a compare option that allows customers to compare two items before making a purchase. This tool allows your users to compare the specifications of various items on a single page, helping them decide which product is best suited for their needs. By enhancing the customer experience, the Comparator also has the potential to boost your sales.

Optimisations and Improvements: Fixed a bug in our API when creating users and a bug on awaiting payment notifications.

New Features

We've integrated the newest PayPal API, providing enhanced payment options. This integration supports both the PayPal checkout button and card payments directly in the checkout process, offering a more convenient and versatile payment solution for our users.

Users can now see stock levels for multiple warehouses directly from the product page. By using our API, accessible at Warehouse API, you can fill different warehouses and enable the display in the skin settings to showcase which store items are available for pickup. This feature enhances inventory visibility and helps users manage stock more efficiently.

We've added a new API function that allows filtering orders by their status. This new feature can be accessed via the endpoint /api/v1/purchases/list?limit=100&status=[status], making it easier to manage and organize orders based on their current status.

Optimizations and Improvements:

This week, we resolved the Stripe auto-capture bug, fixed the GLS same-day delivery issue, and corrected the notification condition boxes.

New Feature: Shopamine Stickers

We are excited to announce the new Shopamine Stickers functionality. These are labels/stickers that you can now create yourself and add to the product list or product page. Read more about Shopamine Stickers here.

Bug Fixes:

• Promotion Conditions Deletion: Resolved an issue where users were unable to delete conditions from promotions. This fix ensures that conditions can now be removed as expected, providing better control over promotion configurations.
• GLS Address Change in Checkout: Fixed a bug where users were able to change the GLS address during checkout. This correction prevents unauthorized address changes, ensuring accurate delivery information.
• Set of Options Specification Bug: Addressed a bug affecting set of options specifications. This fix improves the performance and reliability of multispec operations.
• Supplier Item Data Duplication: Fixed an issue where supplier item data was not present when duplicating an item. This resolution ensures that all relevant data is retained during item duplication, improving data consistency.
• Image Import Bug: Resolved a bug related to importing images. This fix ensures that image imports are processed correctly, enhancing the media management experience.

Header Settings

In the Skin Settings, we've added even more options to customize your header. Now you can mix and match different header styles depending on whether you use a full-screen banner or video on the homepage, unlike on collection pages and other landing pages. 

This update also includes the rollout of a new integration with Stripe, aimed at streamlining payment processing. Moreover, we have made several bug fixes and improvements to our GLS integration, which is now fully integrated with the Metakocka platform, enhancing its functionality and reliability.

Shopamine Promotions Engine   [TAG_DEPLOYED]

After some delays, we have finally completed a major feature: the Shopamine Promotions Engine. This tool is user-friendly and offers a plethora of options for creating promotions to boost sales. The features of the Promotions Engine include the Shopamine Condition Editor, which allows you to set the validity of promotions, as well as options for exclusive promotions and conditions to apply discounts to selected items, brands, categories, shipping, or the entire basket. Additionally, you can combine existing item discounts with promotions and stack multiple promotions at once. The engine is intelligent and will always select the best combination of discounts for your users.
