Welcome to what’s new on Shopfront for September 2022. We’re rolling out a couple of major changes to stocktaking and price calculations to make your data even more accurate.

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.

Major Features

Advanced Stocktake Confirmation

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.

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

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.

You’ll still be able to view your variance and modify your stock count on the finalise screen before applying the stocktake.

Promotion and Price List Calculation taking into account country-specific price rules

Shopfront has introduced a new setting, Price Rounding Mode. 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).

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