August is here which means merchants are busy with back-to-school sales and are heavy into holiday preparations. Solid Cactus eCommerce strives to provide our clients with valuable store enhancements and updates each and every month to assist them in this incredibly busy season in retail. Check out what updates are rolling out this month.

USPS Changes
USPS Real-Time Shipping rates are being updated to include product dimensions in rate calculations and all products will now have a new ‘Dimension’ field to support this change. Upon launch, all products will be given a 1″ x 1″ x 1″ dimension, forcing rates to calculate based on weight as it has previously been calculated. And while many merchants will never have to use the new dimension field on products, it will provide those that do need it with more flexibility to control the actual shipping rates charged to customers. In addition, over 40 USPS methods will now be supported, including First Class options. For now, the new ‘Dimension’ field will only be valid for USPS shipping calculations. (more…)

Solid Cactus eCommerce strives to provide our clients with valuable store enhancements and updates each and every month. As the holiday season approaches, we want to make running your SCeC store even easier. Check out what updates are rolling out this month.

Recurring Products – New Date-Based Option
Merchants will now be able to offer date-based recurring products to their customers. This update will give a predictable billing schedule based on the purchase date of the product. SCeC merchants can still setup a product that is scheduled to charge the customer every specified number of days, not to a specific calendar day. The choice of what charge schedule offered, monthly by calendar day or time-based for each product is now available. (more…)

Solid Cactus eCommerce updates are back, just in time to heat up the summer. Our developers are proud to announce a new list of improvements and upgrades that will help you further evolve your business during the busy summer season. What do we have in store for you this month?

Product Link Builder
Merchants will now be able to create quick add links, product links for social sharing, links that track sales back to an affiliate, links that control the checkout page template and more. You’ll be able to save the links and use them as a template for future use. Custom links can be added to single products or exported for all products.

User Access Update
Control who has access to your account and what access they have with this release. You’ll now be able to assign users one of nine built-in roles or create a custom role with the specific access rights that suit your business. Because every user is also a contact you’ll be able to broadcast to them or sign them up to a custom autoresponder series. Extra user seats can be purchased in blocks of three. (more…)
