1. [TikTok]: Add and Sync Products Faster

Previously, to sync EasyStore products into TikTok, a product variation was required, even if there were no variants for the product. Now, you have the freedom to swiftly add products with or without variants, streamlining the process for faster and more efficient product listings. This ensures that customers can easily shop the range of products you are offering.

2. [New Feature]: WhatsApp Broadcast Center

We have officially launched the Broadcast Center, a powerful messaging tool that you need to send targeted messages and drive more conversions through WhatsApp Business — your sales team's new secret weapon.

You can select your target audience group based on customer group, membership, or even selected contacts. Additionally, you have the option to choose templates when blasting messages from WhatsApp.

Customers are now able to clearly oversee their purchase history, complete with product images, earned points, and clear payment details, making it easier for them to recall which items they purchased and which to buy again.

After clicking 'Buy Again,' customers can effortlessly select the desired items to repurchase. Importantly, they can enjoy this convenience without the need to login or fill in details again. Please note that sold-out, unpublished, or unavailable items cannot be repurchased.

  • Order Received Button: Confirm order receipt with a simple click on the "Order Received" button in the "To Receive" tab. Once confirmed, the order seamlessly transitions to the Completed tab. This is a way for customers to inform the business that their order has been received.

  • Net Sales: Calculated as total sales minus total refunds, conveniently presented in the Sales Summary section.

  • Refunded Amount: Located in the Cash In / Cash Out section.

Refunded amounts will be recorded only if the order was made through POS, is linked to a previous or current POS shift transaction, and if the original purchase location currently has an open shift.
