New features in this release

Trade Me  – shopping cart orders combined

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

Trade Me  – FPOs

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.

Trade Me  – importing products with attributes

When specifying the attribute details in your import file, you can now use either the screen value or the technical value.

Trade Me  – product list filter

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• published or unpublished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.

Trade Me  – free end times

Trade Me – charity donation fees

You can now opt to donate the rounded up portion of the success fee on a product when it sells. The two charities available are Plunket and Kiwis for kiwi. This can be set on a product by product basis or across all products.

Trade Me – send payment instructions

On each product listing rule you can decide if you want Trade Me to send the payment instructions to your buyer when the listing sells. You can also turn this on or off for all products at the global level.

Trade Me – MQL FPO quantities

When making an FPO for a multi-quantity listing we now default the offer quantity to one, regardless of the listing quantity. This makes it possible to make an FPO and relist simultaneously.

Trade Me – FPO import options

A few more FPO options have been added to importing and exporting your products. You can now decide whether you want to send FPOs to unverified members. As well as, whether you want to send FPOs to members who have a low feedback rating (percentage based).
