DragonByte eCommerce 1.1.0rc1

Update highlights

Where do I even begin when describing this release? 😅

With almost a dozen new features of various sizes and almost a dozen improvements to existing features, this is easily the biggest update to DragonByte eCommerce yet.

Perhaps the most pressing update is the change to the VAT validation API. We were previously using a free and open-source API, which has since shut down and has gone the "freemium" route, meaning you need to sign up @ their site to get a (very restricted) free API key, or pay monthly to receive less restricted access.

The old API was, as I mentioned, open source, so I worked on getting that set up on one of the servers DBTech owns. After some internal discussion, we decided that the best way to handle this would be to offer support for the new "freemium" API should you wish to sign up for their plan, and provide the old API as a fallback. The reliability of our API cannot be guaranteed, so if you need reliability and high volume access, you have the option of using the hosted solution.

Next up on the list of big features, thanks to one of our customers there is now an importer from Chris D's excellent XR Product Manager. The importer is still in Beta, as it hasn't been tested extensively or on a large database, but if you are thinking of making the switch you won't have to manually hand out a ton of licenses 😅

For those interested in physical products, you'll now find the ability to mark an order as shipped, as well as the ability to download a shipping label you can include in your parcel. If you have a team of people shipping orders, you now no longer have to text each other to see which orders have shipped 😛

Last on the list of major, noteworthy features is the addition of a new interface panel for uploading a logo that will be added to your invoices. Invoices always look more professional with a logo, so your store will now be up to 100% more professional!

Other than these major features, there have been multiple smaller changes including the ability to globally disable sales and coupons, ability to hide the sale / coupon / discount totals from the checkout screen if they don't apply to any given order, and more.

Feel free to have a look at the full feature list for more information.

Thank you to all our customers for your invaluable feedback, this release is for you!
