New on Shopfront: October 2022

Welcome to what’s new on Shopfront for October 2022. We’ve got a number of minor changes, a new feature for ILG customers.

November will come with a number of changes and will then slow down in December, instead having changes focused on reliability and performance.

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

ILG Ordering

Ordering directly out of Shopfront to ILG has arrived! If you’ve got ILG integrated, you can start using it straight away. Simply head to Setup > Integrations and press the Settings button for the Independent Liquor Group integration and enable the Send ILG invoices setting.

Once enabled, whenever you press the Send button in Shopfront for an ILG order it will be automatically sent to the ILG warehouse, preventing the need for manually processing your order to ILG.

Minor Features

  • Customer group and price list columns added to the full customer export,
  • Improved how a number of pages look on small devices such as mobile phones,
  • Added returns to the product purchase history,
  • [Developer] Classification and supplier product assignment pages now trigger the PRODUCT_UPDATED webhook,
  • [Developer] Importing products from a CSV now triggers the PRODUCT_CREATED webhook,
  • [Developer] Importing customers from a CSV now triggers the CUSTOMER_CREATED webhook,
  • [Developer] Added new authentication method for the Embedded API,
  • [Developer] Sending orders to all suppliers now triggers the ORDER_SENT webhook for each order which gets created,
  • [ILG] Promotion names are now nicer,
  • [Xero] Credit notes for transferees now appear with the transferee set to the transferee’s name instead of Shopfront,
  • [ALM] Products which fail to send via i-orders due to not having a supplier code are now shown in the ALM log

Bug Fixes

  • Prevented empty menu categories from appearing due to having partial permissions,
  • Fixed normal price showing the discounted price when a receipt is reprinted from the sales history,
  • Adding a note to the register closure and then leaving and returning to the page no longer prevents you from submitting the register closure
