Shopping cart orders from the same Trade Me buyer are now automatically combined in Tradevine.

We are now able to relist listings while they are still on an open FPO (providing there is sufficient stock). Previously we were only able to create a new listing in this case.

The Product List can now be searched by the shipping template used for your Trade Me listing rules.

Shopify – merging variants

Merging or unmerging products with variants is now easier and more reliable.

Shopify – product updates

The updating of your Shopify products has been made more reliable for the following features:

  • inventory tracking status
  • published or unpublished
  • archived products

API – products

The IsArchived property for products is now returned through the API and there is also a new filter to include or exclude archived products from the GetProducts endpoint.

Key Bug Fixes

  1. The cost price was not calculated for each warehouse on a product.
  2. An issue was fixed for creating sales orders through the API when more than one sales order line was specified.

All of these improvements are based on customer feedback. We are planning to release further improvements on a regular basis. Your feedback is vital to ensuring that we’re working on the most important things first. If you have any suggestions, then check out our suggestions page where you can also vote.
