Added: uStore brings the ability to visualize dynamic products in 3D.
A stand up pouch, a label on a bottle, a carton box and a business card with gold foiling, to name a few, can now be better perceived in 3D.

Added: uStore allows a shopper to download a dieline, design within it using Illustrator or other tools, and then upload it as a PDF.
The PDF can run through a preflight process to prevent production errors. If an error is found, a report is issued, highlighting the errors on top of the PDF.

Version 11.0 (6191) released July 31, 2019

Added: uStore introduces a new product type: Kit product. A Kit product is a collection of various products which are grouped together to be sold as one single offering.
A kit enables the shopper to order multiple products in one order. Using the kit, the shopper experiences a quick and efficient workflow: with a single click, the shopper can place multiple products in the shopping cart, instead of having to browse the store in search of these items. In addition, if the kit contains multiple dynamic products, customization is done once for the entire kit, and there is no need to customize each product individually.
Kits are prepared by the administrator, and the user does not need to figure out or remember which products need to be ordered. Also, the kit product is optimized for repeated orders and racks inventory levels of the included products.
Important: If you are using a customized NG theme that was created with an earlier version, you will need to update the theme in order to use the kitting feature with your customized theme. Read more
Limitation: The receipt has been enhanced to display the kit and its components in a hierarchical structure.
After upgrading to uStore 11, when adding a kit product to an existing store, the product structure of the receipt does not display the hierarchy of the kit and its components. To display the kit in a hierarchical structure, click Restore Default Receipt in the Receipt Setup window. The same issue applies to customized triggered email templates.

Version 10.1 (5838) released June 30, 2019

Added: Shoppers can now edit submitted orders for which fulfillment hasn’t yet begun. Editing an order cancels the original order, lets the customer make any necessary changes, and then resubmit the order. Operators can also edit an order on behalf of the shopper.
Added: You can now select which items to check out in the shopping cart. The unchecked items remain in the cart.
Added: While fulfilling an order, it is now possible to add ad-hoc production information for the ordered item, on top of the information provided by the customer via product properties. This can be done by adding global properties to an order item and assigning values to them.
Added: When creating a static product with a PDF document, thumbnails are now automatically generated from the PDF. The first two PDF pages (or any number you’ll set) will be automatically converted to JPG thumbnails.
Added: When creating a static product with a PDF document, preflight data (such as page size and color space) is now recorded for the document, similarly to an uploaded PDF via a composite product. This allows generation of reports with this data.
Note that this feature does not support PDF documents with over 200 pages.
Added: The Excel pricing of an uploaded file in a composite product now contains the properties, fulfillment and product ID of the composite product. This enables to calculate the price for the upload products based on the properties of the composite.
