‍

Merchants can now schedule free DHL Express pickups in Admin for Markets Pro! (May 09)

‍

Merchants now have the ability to schedule DHL Express ad hoc pickups in Shopify Admin for Markets Pro.

‍

Key takeaways:

‍

• Markets Pro ad hoc DHL Express pickups are free
• Merchants follow the same path to schedule Markets Pro DHL Express pickups as they do for Shopify Shipping DHL Express pickups. 
• Merchants can combine Markets Pro and non-Markets Pro parcels in a single DHL Express pickup
• DHL Express pickup scheduling in admin is limited to ad hoc pickups. Recurrent pick ups should continue to be scheduled via the DHL Express website.

Trade, a new theme designed for wholesale buying (May 09)

‍

Trade can be easily customised for your business and enables wholesale customers to quickly assemble bulk orders with new “quick add” functionality. 

‍

With quick add, buyers can view and add all products and variants to their cart from collection pages, without needing to navigate to the full product description page.

‍

Trade is available to all Shopify plans. It comes pre-built with Shopify’s advanced B2B features, like quantity rules and volume pricing, which are exclusive to Shopify Plus.

‍

Shopify Payments now supports multiple payment captures for the same order in Australia and Romania (May 10)

‍

Shopify Plus merchants in Australia and Romania on the manual setting can now capture multiple partial payments for the same order.

‍

This helps if you:

• Ship items in an order from different warehouses with different fulfilment times
• Your buyers expect to be charged for items when they’re fulfilled, not at checkout
• Your accounting team needs to meet IFRS standards

‍

You can access this feature directly from the Orders Page or using the GraphQL API (OrderTransaction object and OrderCapture mutation).

‍

For all eligible merchants, the OrderCapture mutation now supports an optional finalCapture parameter which, when set to true, can be used to void the remaining uncaptured amount.

‍

This feature is enabled by default for Plus merchants.

‍

Improved product list component for explicit add-to and removal from cart (May 13)

‍

Shopify has added a new "Add to Cart" button to all product list screens in the POS app, including search results, collections, and exchange pages. This button is designed to make transactions quicker and more intuitive.

‍

New layout update on details screens (May 13)

‍

The Shopify POS app launches new improvements to the detail pages of Orders, Draft Orders, Products, and Customer Interfaces. 

‍

Available in version 9.9, this update introduces a redesigned split-screen view and a new action menu situated on the right rail of the screen. Designed to boost operational efficiency and provide a seamless approach to high-priority workflows, here’s a look at what’s new:

• More information in less space: Take advantage of more info and essential workflows accessible in a single view, minimising the need to scroll extensively. 

• Staff can find what they need faster: With repositioned and easily visible action menus, staff can speed up routine operations. 

‍

To ensure your retail operations benefit from these enhancements, we recommend keeping your app updated to the latest version.

‍

The address autocompletion setting has moved to the checkout and accounts editor (May 13)

‍

Merchants can now find the autocomplete setting in the checkout and accounts editor. It has been moved from its original location of Settings > Checkout.

‍

To access the address autocompletion setting, go to Settings > Checkout to find the Configurations section. Click “Customise” next to the configuration you want to update.

‍

When you permit “Use address autocompletion”, customers are able to enter their addresses faster, accelerating the checkout experience.
