Production Tenant Features
eCommerce Functionality
- Canadian Zip Mappings: Latitude/longitude-based zip code mappings, a format used by Canadian addresses”A0A 0A0″, are now supported to allow validation of these addresses and properly look up any postal codes in that format.
Order Admin and Fulfiller Functionality
- Search Inventory by Product Code: Administrators can now search for product inventory across locations in the inventory view of the KCCP interface, allowing them to more easily find the inventory level of a specific product. Either either a particular location selected from the location dropdown OR “All Locations” selected (by default), a product code can be entered in the search bar. The results in the table will then update to display only the inventory level of that product at the chosen location(s).
- Cancellation of Canada Post Labels: Canada Post shipping labels are now automatically cancelled when the associated shipment or order is cancelled, or when a tracking number if removed from the shipment. This protects merchants from being charged for shipping labels that they will not be using. Any relevant refunds for the carrier will be supported through the EasyPost integration.
Production Sandbox Features
eCommerce Functionality
- Social Content Application Update: The social content application that can be integrated with a storefront has been updated to reflect the current Instagram authorization needs and data endpoints.
- ShipWorks Support: Existing support for the ShipWorks integration application and functionality supported by the previous eCommerce platform has been extended to the Kibo Composable Commerce Platform, allowing ShipWorks to continue being used by clients.
Order Admin and Fulfiller Functionality
- Require Shipping Manifests: To further support the Fulfiller UI’s ability to generate shipping manifests for carriers such as Canada Post, an new location setting to require manifests has been created. In the location configuration options, an administrator can now toggle on “Requires Manifest” to indicate whether a fulfillment location will generate manifests during the fulfillment process.
- Curbside Delivery, Phase I: Curbside Delivery is a new fulfillment process that provides a safer order pickup experience, allowing retailers to continue serving their customers while limiting traffic within the store and contact between individuals. Curbside Delivery includes a system of communication between the customer and retailer through SMS and email notifications, which allow customers to inform the retailer that they are on their way, that they have arrived, and details to identify their car or indicate where they prefer their order to be placed. This keeps both parties in sync and streamlines the pickup process to ensure accuracy. In Phase I of this solution, Curbside Delivery operates as its own standalone process and is implemented without other order management and fulfillment capabilities. Thus, it is not accessible on production tenants for pre-existing clients yet. In Phase II, Curbside will be leveraged to work alongside other order management implementations.
