ADMIN
Better sales reporting. We can see what sells best by individual products as well as which categories are best sellers.
We also now have built in analytics for customer’s visits, most popular searches and sales.
We have a better system in place to offer discount codes and offer items at discounted prices.
We can now search through our product range in the admin which we honestly could not do before.
We can now upload new products by importing a spreadsheet which will speed up the process of adding new items. We can also change stock levels by importing a spreadsheet also.
It’s far easier for us to add different variations for products which we have utilised to offer more options for our resin bits.
CONS
No quantity box on the product pages but the add to cart button brings up a pop up where you can select variants and choose your quantity for purchasing
Stock notification emails are now sent on the hour and not as soon as items are restocked, however we will restock as close to the hour mark as we can
We can no longer upload stock via SQL however we can upload stock values by CSV
There’s currently no advanced search function but the search bar itself is improved
Due to GW increasing prices we’ve decided to increase our shipping costs rather then raise the prices of each individual item. Some more popular items may end up increasing in price.
