Summary

Since our last release, we've been working diligently to improve our platform and enhance your experience as a user. In this latest release, we've introduced new features and improvements, such as sorting shipping options in Order Fulfillment, enabling Marketing users to manage marketplace listings, and allowing users to specify additional processing time for in-stock items. Read on to learn more about these enhancements and other improvements that have been implemented.

Product Enhancements

NEW In-Stock Lead Time for Warehouses

Users are now able to specify additional processing time for in-stock items, providing customers with accurate expectations for their shipment's preparation and delivery.

The eBay General Settings have also been updated to include additional lead time, which will be added to the in-stock lead time at the warehouse level.

This enhancement is particularly important for sellers who require extra time to prepare in-stock shipments, as failing to do so may lead to refund requests and cancellations, resulting in a poor customer experience.

Tag and List Obsolete Parts with the Obsolescence Tool

Quickly identify, tag, and configure custom pricing for aging inventory with our new Obsolescence Tool. Then, instantly list those parts across multiple selling channels—like eBay—to reach niche buyers, turning overhead into profit and freeing up space on your shelves.

Easily Search for Canned Messages

In an effort to improve user productivity, we made a recent change to the canned messages dropdown in all instances where you can send a templated message to your customers. Now, you can easily search for the canned message you would like to send to a customer.

 

Marketing Users May Now Manage Marketplace Listings

We have expanded the Marketing Role in RevolutionParts to include the ability to edit and save product details. This allows Marketing users to customize and optimize marketplace listings (such as eBay) without requiring full Supervisor access.

Marketing users can now view and edit product details at both the account and channel levels, including third-party marketplaces. Updates made at the channel level will be reflected in corresponding channels, and users can easily access Listings from the Products page.

Sort Shipping Options in Order Fulfillment

When generating a shipping label in Order Fulfillment, you can now sort shipping options by preference to quickly and easily identify the best choice for your customer. The new dropdown includes the following sorting options:


Option 1: Recommended (Default)



Option 2: Delivery Date (Sort from earliest to latest delivery date)



Option 3: Price (Sort by cheapest to most expensive option)

 

Improvements to Shipments and Shipping Protection on the Order Page

You may notice some changes to the shipments on your completed orders! We’ve made some improvements to easily call out the tracking details for each package, along with the package dimensions for each package included in the shipment.


Additionally, if you chose to purchase insurance through the shipping carrier, you will now see that called out on the shipment.


For our US customers that have activated Shipping Protection with Extend, we’ve added the Extend Contract ID to the shipment. Extend sends an email to your buyers with the Contract ID, however, you will now have that available to you in case a buyer reaches out to you before filing a claim with Extend.

Lastly, if you either fulfill an Amazon order in Amazon Seller Central or decline shipping protection for an order, then you will see a new “Not Protected by Extend” label.

 

New Default Checkout Country Selection for Canadian Dealers Shipping Internationally

Previously, our system defaulted to "United States" as the country selection in Checkout for all stores that ship internationally, thus leading to a poor experience for dealers with Web Stores who have more Canadian customers. Canadian dealers shipping internationally can now enjoy an improved experience as "Canada" will be the default selection in Checkout, replacing the previous default of "United States".
