2. Scheduled Delivery for Customers

At the front store, while selecting the shipping options during checkout, the customers can pick their preferred date of delivery.

There can be scenarios where the customers want to opt for a scheduled delivery at their convenience. You can offer the option of scheduled delivery for specific shipping types.

3. Countdown Timer for Same Day Dispatch

If you want your customers to know about the quick order and faster dispatch service you offer, you can now do so with the all-new “Product Countdown Timer” block.

To display the timer for order placement, dispatch date, and time, the admin can use this block within the Product Page Layout. This timer and dispatch details will be displayed based on the Cut-off time configured for the selected product.

4. Verify your PDF Proof in Designer Studio before Order

To minimize the time invested in finalizing the artwork for order fulfillment, we are bringing the Product Design Preview functionality to the Designer Studio. This page will display the blank image, print quality, text placeholder, and skipped page warnings. This will allow your customers to verify their designs and elements and rectify them before placing the order for the artwork created.

Based on the site settings, the functionality will be available to the front store customers.

5. Product Content & Image Generation with AI Assistant

We are bringing “Generative AI” integration to empower Print Service Providers where they can automate the content and image creation and optimize their operations.

With Generative AI integration, the admin can generate product descriptions, and images within a few seconds and enhance the visuals of the products.

Introduce the Order Reprint option to manage the reprint orders. With Order Reprint functionality, the admin will be able to produce the ordered products again without impacting the pricing of the order and manage production workflow for reprint orders as well.

Based on the selection of product size and additional option attributes, a real-time preview of a help template will be available in the Design Guidelines tab. Additionally, for proper visibility and usability, the User Interface of Design Guidelines page has been improvised.

Enhancements for an edge

1. Enhancements to Master Product Options

In the v11.2 release, some enhancements have been made to the Master Product Options:

In addition, we have provided the options to override the multiplier and setup cost for specific products during the product assignment.

For example, for the T-shirt kind of products admin needs can maintain option level stock, attribute level stock (such as separate stock for Small, Medium, and Large sizes), and option combination-wise (such as stock for Small-Red, Small-Blue, and Small-Black t-shirt).

• Admins can now create a “Text Area” Product Master Options as well.
