The Shed App - This Week's Updates (20230803)

NOTE: this update will be fully released as of August 3, 2023.

Make Things Easy for Your Customers With Track Order (TSA-14417)

 

Why We Worked on This

Keep your customers informed every step of the way with our new order tracking feature! The new Track Order UI allows customers to track progress, see photos, confirm delivery schedule and pay invoices!

Order tracking for customers was an early feature on The Shed App, but it left a lot to be desired, and we ended up deprecating this functionality relatively quickly. This new and improved version makes for a much simpler process with important information and actions clearly presented.

Lastly - this functionality lays the groundwork for improvements to the delivery system - looking forward to it!

NOTE: there are a lot of important features in this update, please watch ALL the videos to understand all the available functionality.

Additional Updates

Features

Feature: Request Delivery Confirmation (TSA-15313)

Why We Worked on This

Getting in touch with customers to confirm delivery times can be a challenge. With the Request Delivery Confirmation feature, your customers can confirm and/or request a reschedule on a delivery on their own time frame, making this process easier and more convenient for your customers - and your team!

Feature: Order Event Notifications (TSA-15314, TSA-15457)

Why We Worked on This

Formalizing the critical order events allows for notifications that can be customized per your company’s needs, streamlining communications. This also lays the groundwork for webhooks. Check out the video for more information.

This functionality also paves the way for webhooks with our new notification system and improvements to the delivery system - exciting stuff!

Feature: Product Feeds For Stores (TSA-15380. TSA-15462, TSA-15487, TSA-15488, TSA-15489, TSA-15499, TSA-15508, TSA-15510)

Why We Worked on This

More leads anyone? This update will help you get there! A lot of cool things in this update:

  • Improvements to the storefront UI - including the ability to show discounts/sales

  • Allows companies to make product models available/not available to specific stores

  • For companies using our Marketing Plus plan:

    • More storefront customization

    • Product feed per store for Google Merchant Center Account ads

    • Customizable Build to Order storefront

More information coming soon!

Feature: Multiple Payments On Delivery Update (TSA-15476)

Why We Worked on This

Feature: Buy Now, Pay Later Messaging (TSA-15513)

The Buy Now, Pay Later messaging element from Stripe was not quite as intelligent as we had anticipated. So we added some in-house controls.

Added a ‘Working Hard’ messaging page for specific cases of the Track Order page.

Feature: Improve Performance (Lists) (TSA-15562)

Why We Worked on This

Update: Manage Throughput (Beta) (TSA-15322)

Why We Worked on This
