Admin Section

With the new Design Proof feature introduced in the Customer module, both print buyers and admins can review and verify designs before the order cycle.

The Design Proof feature, similar to Artwork Proofing, utilizes both the Standard and Visual Proofing tools.

When a customer requests the admin to share a design for verification and finalization, the admin can input the customer details, design details, and choose either the Standard or Visual Proofing method to proceed:

Once the Design Proof is added to the system, the customer is notified via a system-generated email. Additionally, admin can share the link directly with the customer for the proofing:

Based on the customer’s review, the proof can either be approved, rejected, or sent back with modification requests:

At all the stages, the customer will be notified via the emails that can be managed from the Email Notifications section:

After the design is approved by the customer, the admin has the option to seamlessly convert the approved design into an order:

With the new Media Gallery feature introduced in v12.0, Admins can add step-by-step video tutorials in the Studio to guide customers through the design process, such as creating custom patterns or personalizing products.

For this, the new Media Gallery menu has been added to the Content Management module:

To create a new media, click on the Add button and define the details as shown in the below example:

As we have selected "Both" in the Display On setting, the media we have added will be displayed in the studio as well as on the CMS page.

To display the Media Gallery added for CMS, create a new CMS page and include the {% block_media_gallery %} block in the Page Contents section; once set up, the added videos and images will be displayed:

You can make your customers' shopping experience by showing recommended products based on trending or top-selling items from your store. This feature helps highlight popular choices, driving engagement and increasing conversions!

To manage the product showcase on the front, we have moved a few settings from Site Configuration to the Product Showcase Settings screen.

Types of Recommendations:

Top-Selling Products: These recommendations are based on sales data from the past 12 months. This helps highlight products that have consistently performed well over a longer period.

Trending Products: These are identified based on sales data from the past 90 days, showcasing products that are currently gaining popularity.

Popular Products: Recommendations in this category are based on sales data from the past 6 months, providing a balance between long-term top-sellers and current trends.

Customizable Recommendations

We understand that there may be instances where you prefer to promote specific products according to your marketing strategy rather than relying solely on AI-generated suggestions.

1. Automatic Data Transfer

With the "Enable Real-time Data Sync" setting, the AI model can access your order data in real-time, enabling it to generate accurate and timely product recommendations. To enable this feature, navigate to the settings menu and toggle the "Enable Real-time Data Sync" option:

For each recommendation section (Top-Selling, Trending, Popular), you can choose to disable the automatic transfer of order data to the AI model. This can be done by navigating to the respective section settings and toggling the option to disable data transfer:

2. Manual Product Selection

When the automatic data transfer is disabled, you can manually select products to be promoted. A drop-down menu will be available in each section, allowing you to choose the products you wish to highlight:

After customizing the recommendations using either the Auto Sync or Manual Selection method, the admin can choose to display the recommended products on the Home page, Advanced Search, and Related Products block.

To display the recommended products on the Home page, the Display Setting must first be set to CMS. Then, within the Home Page CMS fixed page, the blocks for Top Selling, Trending and Popular products need to be added to the Page Content section:

If you are running a marketing campaign or collecting data for some survey from your customers, you can now create these forms from the admin panel.

To achieve this, the Manage Form Fields section has been enhanced to include Custom Forms, allowing you to create and display custom forms on any CMS page to collect data and seamlessly meet your unique business requirements.

To begin with, we have renamed the Manage Form Fields to Manage Forms:

On accessing this menu, you will redirected to the Forms listing page from where you can create the Custom Forms via the Add button and manage the form fields using the Manage Form Fields button.

To begin with, the admin must create the required form fields from the Manage Form Fields section. For custom forms, a new field type "Custom Form" has been added:

Next, from the Manage Forms main screen, click on the Add button:

Now, for the new form, define for which store, you are creating this form, give a title such as Product Interest Survey Form, select the layout of the form as the fields will be displayed in one column or in two columns, and choose to notify admin or customer and enable the status of the form as active.

Now, it is time to assign the custom form fields. So, let’s select these fields, and if you want you can change the sequence of the fields by simply dragging and dropping as per your need:

Once you are done, click on Save and Back button.

To display the form on the website, the admin needs to create a CMS page and add the block along with the Form Unique ID separated with a pipe {% block_custom_form|aa23880e99fa44358dd938396419f115%}.

To see how this form will appear on the website, click on the Preview icon against the CMS page.

The content editor has been upgraded, bringing performance improvements, enhanced stability, and new features to enrich the content editing experience.

The phone number format has been updated to align with the respective country's standard formatting, ensuring a more intuitive and accurate input experience:

This will also work on the front store when the customers will add/update their contact numbers.

On the listing pages, the phone numbers will be displayed based on the home country selection:

A new File Upload Component is designed to significantly improve upload speeds, making file uploads 2x to 3x faster.

In the Email section, we have streamlined the editing part by integrating the email variables directly into the editor:

Admins can now easily search for variables from the toolbar dropdown or simply type {} to have the system suggest available variables, making it more efficient to add them while editing:

Admins now can add additional schema markup for product categories, enhancing SEO and enabling search engines to better understand and display category information in search results:

To address duplicate names for shipping or payment methods, the system now displays the original names in brackets for better clarity in all the applicable sections within the admin panel:

The user interface of the Web Optimization screen has been enhanced to make it more user-friendly:

The log for the last optimization will also be available for view along with the timestamp.
