Here are the latest fixes and enhancements within All-New WineDirect as of July 30th, 2024:

CLUBS

1. History of status changes is now tracked in a Membership History panel on the Membership page. Changes to or from pending, active, hold, and cancelled are displayed with dates and the user that made the change.
2. Cancellation reason can be selected from pre-configured list of reasons when user cancels a membership. During cancellation, draft orders can also be cancelled or retained. Upgrades and Downgrades are recorded, along with user comments.
3. When club draft orders are generated, drafts that do not yet have shipping and taxes calculated, are displayed with a “*” next to the total price. A backend process will update the taxes and shipping, and upon refresh of the page, the user will see more and more orders with full pricing as they are being calculated.
4. Users can update information on memberships, even if credit card associated with memberships is expired.
5. Releases can now contain Bundle Products. CAVEAT: Cannot support orders with bundles and single products, where the single product is also contained within the bundle. This scenario is being actively worked, and ETA is not yet available.
6. Retry payment can be executed in bulk from the Release Order List pages.

PRODUCTS

1. When selecting a specific product from a filtered list of products, the filters will be retained when returning to the product list.

ORDERS

1. BUG FIX: When a product was purchased at two different price points, multiple line items will be displayed, showing the quantity of that product purchased at each price point.
2. Users can re-try payment from the order page, without re-validation of the order. This is used when credit card failed, but all pricing information should remain the same and not be recalculated. A new credit card can be associated with the order before re-trying payment.
3. Further reduced the probability of fallback taxes by optimizing our tax calculation process.
4. BUG FIX: Avalara orders are now returning correct taxes, and will no longer get stuck in quarantined state.

INVENTORY IMPORT

1. Users can choose to import adjustments to stock, or to reset stock value.
2. Import of inventory adjustments will save adjustment along with comments provided in the import file. Products in the file that have no adjustment values, will be ignored.
3. Log files for inventory adjustment are available when import is 100% successful or has one or more failures.

REPORTS

1. Bundle products now appear in the inventory reports.

WEBSITE

1. Dot used to navigate between images on mobile, removed when only one image.

We are excited to introduce the latest updates to WineDirect, designed to optimize your operations, improve customer experience, and drive your winery's success.

Orders

• Accurate Financial Tracking: Orders now retain the original tax and promotion breakdown after updates, ensuring precise financial records and reporting.
• Instant Coupon Visibility: Adding or removing a coupon on an order is now displayed immediately, with clear icons to distinguish between promotions and coupons, enhancing order clarity.
• Improved POS Receipts: Updated POS receipts now exclude the associate's full name for privacy and move gratuity to its own line item for better transparency.

Clubs

• Streamlined Configuration: The duplicate order-prefix field for fulfillment configuration in Club Settings has been removed, simplifying your setup process.
• Efficient Membership Management: The Cancel Membership modal now closes automatically after a membership is canceled, improving workflow efficiency.

Products

• Real-Time Inventory Insights: The product inventory module window now displays on-hand stock values, providing you with up-to-date inventory information for better stock management.

Reports

• Comprehensive Inventory Reporting: The inventory report now includes up-to-date promised stock values, new columns for on-hand stock, and details on orders that still need to be fulfilled, offering a complete view of your inventory status.
• Detailed Membership Reporting: For membership reports listed on the Generated Reports page, clicking on a report now displays the filters used, helping you understand the report criteria at a glance.
• Flexible Date Filters: The “Is Before” and “Is After” date filters on reports can now be used without causing report generation failures, increasing your reporting flexibility.
• Expanded Report Filters: New filters available on Order and Shipping reports include Completed Date, Refunded Date, Cancelled Date, Paid Date, and Product Department, allowing for more granular analysis.

The All-New WineDirect platform offers various promotion types to enhance the customer experience and drive sales. These include Coupon Codes, Coupon Promotions, and Automatic Promotions. While these promotion types share some similarities, each has unique features and functionalities.

Key Comparisons

Automatic Promotions are for when a customer qualifies for a discount at checkout with no action required.

Coupon Promotions are for when a customer needs to add a specific code at checkout, but they must also qualify for that discount based on set parameters defined when creating a Coupon Promotion.

Coupon Codes are for when a customer needs to add a specific code at checkout, but no qualifications are required. Coupon codes can have a limit on how many times they can be used and on which products they can be used.

All three types of promotions can be applied to products of a specific category, but only Coupon Promotions and Automatic Promotions can exclude individual products or full categories.

Shipping Discounts

WineDirect can only provide free shipping as a shipping discount. The ability to add a percentage or dollar amount off of shipping will be a feature released soon.

When providing a Free Shipping promotion to customers, it is important to remember the following:

1. If a Coupon Code provides free shipping, other shipping methods will still be provided to customers at checkout.
2. If a Coupon Promotion provides free shipping, no other shipping method will be available for customers at checkout.

We've observed that certain club members are receiving abandoned cart emails even though their orders are still in draft mode and have not been processed yet. We are actively investigating this issue.

In the meantime, we suggest the following if you are currently using clubs:

• Not enable abandoned cart emails.
• Temporarily deactivate abandoned cart emails before generating club orders while draft orders remain in the club.

You can turn off abandoned cart emails by going to Ecommerce > Settings > Marketing > Abandoned Cart Emails > Switch off the 'Send abandoned cart emails' toggle.

We will keep you updated on any developments. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact support via the 'Contact Support' chat option or at support@winedirect.com. Thank you for your patience as we work quickly to find a resolution.
