A record of new features, improvements and fixes.

1.5.0
  • NewAdded "No pre-order period (announcement to regular sale)" to the pre-order create screen. Until the launch date the product page shows Coming soon and can't be purchased, then switches to regular sale automatically at exactly the date and time you set.
  • NewProducts in the announcement phase now show a "Coming soon" badge on their product cards in product lists such as collections.
  • ImprovedMade the switch to regular sale faster when many products go on sale at the same time.
  • ImprovedRenamed "Storefront text" in Settings to "Button and label text" so it's clearer what you can change.
  • FixFixed an issue where saving translations of the button and label text on product pages sometimes failed.
1.4.0
  • NewAdded a "Pre-orders and made-to-order orders through SellRules (last 30 days)" section to Home, so you can compare order counts and product sales with the previous 30 days.
  • NewYou can also see orders placed while sold out, how many back-in-stock sign-ups led to a purchase, and balance collection, as daily trends.
  • ImprovedBack-in-stock and pre-order launch emails are now sent in the language of the product page the customer was viewing when they signed up.
  • ImprovedYou can now turn on deposit payments right from the create and edit screens for pre-orders and made-to-order.
  • ImprovedDate and time inputs now sit on one row, time is picked in hours and minutes (24-hour), and "Add coming-soon period" is now a button.
  • ImprovedCustomers' personal data (such as the recipients of sent notifications) is now deleted automatically once the 90-day retention period has passed.
  • ImprovedStrengthened the underlying processing so that stores with many products no longer fall behind or stop syncing stock when updates keep coming.
  • ImprovedUntil Shopify approves access to protected customer data, the packing slip now shows a note and a link to the order page instead of the address and phone number.
  • FixFixed an issue where products with untracked inventory, gift cards and products that don't need shipping (such as express-fee add-ons) were treated as sold out and triggered the sold-out switch.
  • FixFixed an issue where input from other apps, such as name engraving, wasn't carried to the cart once the buy button was replaced by SellRules'.
  • FixFixed an issue where the packing slip in Order progress wouldn't open.
  • FixFixed an issue where orders shipped, cancelled or closed outside SellRules stayed in Order progress as waiting to start.

1.2.0
  • NewYou can now release the fulfilment hold on pre-order and made-to-order orders with "Start shipment preparation" in "Order progress".
