Welcome to Superco: On Shopify, a weekly bulletin to keep you up to date with Shopify Plus news and updates. 

A lot to learn this week: Shopify has enhanced the Shopify App with updates to the Gift Cards and Company Details sections, aligning the app with the web in both cases. A new checkout and accounts editor offers your team streamlined customisation, alongside several other updates to make day-to-day operations easier.

Updated Gift Cards section in the Shopify App (May 15)

‍

The Gift Cards section in the Shopify App has been updated to focus on issued gift cards. 

‍

• You can still create new gift card products or issue new gift cards via the + Add button. 
• You can still view previously created gift card products in the Products section, including an option to filter the list to only show gift cards. 
• Alternatively, you can shortcut to a filtered view of gift card products in the Products area from the Actions menu in Gift Cards.

‍

Although the main Gift Cards screen is more consistent with the web, it means the Shopify App no longer has a Gift Cards Overview screen showing recently issued gift cards and recently updated gift card products. Please use sorting and filtering to achieve these views.

‍

There have also been changes to the look and feel of the screens used to issue new gift cards and to view issued gift cards to align more closely with the web. There are no new features on these screens and no features were removed.

‍

Updated Company Details section in the Shopify App (May 15)

‍

The Company Details section in the Shopify App has been updated to align more closely with web and unlock features previously unavailable on mobile, including:

‍

• Reviewing draft orders and overdue payments
• Adding new locations
• Filtering and sorting the locations list
• Editing payment terms
• Editing catalogues
• Editing checkout sendings
• Editing the main company contact, as well as staff permissions
• Sending B2B access emails
• Deleting the company

‍

In addition, a few features have been reorganised:

‍

• Company information is now under the Locations list instead of on the top of the screen.
• Editing the company and removing customers moved from the overflow menu on top of the screen, to the overflow menu on the Company and Customer cards under the locations list.
• The create order action moved from the overflow menu to a “Create order” button under the order list.
• Editing a note moved from the title header as an icon to the bottom of the screen as its own card.

‍

This makes it easier for you to manage and adjust company details on-the-go from the Shopify App.

‍

Shopify Flow - New action to look up customer in a segment (May 15)

‍

In Shopify Flow, you can now check if a customer is in a segment by using a ‘Look up customer in segment’ action. The action can be used in any workflow that provides a customer. 

‍

Using this action, you can choose to check if the customer is in one segment. The action will return a boolean field called ‘isMember’ that is true when the customer is in the segment. This can be checked in a condition or in code to verify membership.

‍

Updated Inventory Scanner in the Shopify App (May 16)

‍

There are new updates to the inventory scanner in the Shopify App, improving the inventory adjustment workflow. It is now easier to:

‍

• Switch locations for inventory adjustments
• Scan multiple items without the scanned items list interfering with the scanner
• Make additional quantity edits, such as adjusting Available, On Hand and Committed counts
• Review and edit all inventory adjustments from a single review screen
• Easily understand the final adjusted inventory count while still seeing the original count and adjustments count as secondary information

‍

Shopify has also updated the underlying scanner library to align with Shopify POS. This improves the accuracy of the scanner and increases barcode support.

‍

The Shopify cookie banner is now shown in the customer’s native language (May 16)

‍

When customers visit your store, the Shopify cookie banner will now be shown in their native language. These translations can be customised at any time by a translation app, such as the Shopify Translate & Adapt app. To help you get started, Shopify has provided translations of its default banner text in 32 languages.

‍

Control whether your buyers can apply discount codes on draft order invoices (May 17)

‍

A new setting has been introduced to allow you to control whether buyers can apply discount codes at checkout for draft order invoices. This setting, accessible within the send and share invoice flows in draft orders, empowers you to manage the use of discounts more effectively to fit your invoicing needs. By default, this feature is disabled, offering flexibility to enable it as needed.

‍

New checkout and accounts editor for merchants on Basic, Advanced, and Shopify plans (May 21)

‍

You can now manage, preview, and deploy apps with the checkout and accounts editor, the all-in-one place to make customisations.

‍

• Customise and preview apps with a superior workflow for the Thank you and Order status pages.

• Style the buying experience with the checkout and accounts editor, the new home for branding capabilities like logos, colours, fonts, backgrounds, and more.

• Save configurations as drafts, allowing you to try new ideas, collaborate with your team, and fine-tune your customisations without impacting your live store.

‍

Fraud analysis now indicates when a fraud recommendation is not available (May 22)

Shopify’s fraud analysis helps you identify orders that could be fraudulent. Some types of orders, such as those that are processed offline, don’t receive fraud recommendations. The order details page now offers enhanced clarity by indicating when a fraud recommendation is unavailable for the order. Risk indicators will continue to be available.
