We’re excited to introduce our new Store Locations feature, making it easier for you to manage multiple locations and enhance your customers' shopping experience. Setting up store locations is simple: head to to add or edit any store. This ensures that your physical locations are accurately reflected on your storefront.

We’ve also introduced a widget to search for nearby stores, making it easy for customers to find the most convenient store location. By entering a store name or address, users can quickly locate nearby stores better.

When adding a new store location, it’s important to include the latitude and longitude, especially if the “Show Distance to Store” option is enabled for One Page Checkout. These coordinates can be automatically filled using Google Autocomplete or manually entered via Google Maps, making it easier to ensure location accuracy.

Additionally, you can now assign specific store locations to individual customers. By navigating to the Customer Edit page, you can assign locations under the Assigned Store Locations section. If a customer has specific stores assigned, only those locations will appear during checkout, offering a tailored shopping experience.

A new option called Ship to Store Only has been added, allowing you to restrict orders to store locations only, hiding other shipping address options. This is ideal if you want to ensure customers are shipping directly to a store location rather than providing a home or business address.

In addition, you can customize how store locations appear on your storefront. Use the $$STORELOCATIONSSEARCH$$ merge code to search store location option or use the $$STORELOCATIONSDROPDOWN$$ code for a dropdown menu. Locations can be sorted by distance, sort order, or alphabetically.

Finally, this feature is fully integrated with the API, giving you the ability to create, edit, and manage store locations. For more details, check out the API documentation here. This allows for easy integration with other systems, providing you with more flexibility and control.

We’re excited about our latest rolled out feature: the My Account template for account pages! This new addition is here to make managing and customizing your account menus easier and more efficient.

If you've ever found yourself frustrated with updating account menus across multiple pages, you're not alone. Previously, making changes to your My Account pages meant diving into the HTML editor and manually adding or adjusting merge codes for each section. It was a time-consuming process that left room for errors, as each page needed to be updated individually to keep things consistent.

But that’s all in the past. With our new centralized menu configuration feature, you can now manage all your My Account menu items from a single, convenient location. No more hunting through the HTML editor or tweaking each page separately. Instead, everything is in one place, where you can simply click a checkbox to add or remove the account menu items you want.

To get started, navigate to and click . From there, drop down to the section and find . Once you’re there, click on – this is where you need to be to edit everything in the same location. We’ve even provided an image to guide you through the process from the backend.

Here’s what makes it so great:

This update is a real game-changer for managing your online store’s account pages. It not only simplifies your work but also ensures that your customers enjoy a consistent and seamless experience every time they interact with their account.

We are thrilled to introduce our latest feature rollout: the ability to pause and resume subscriptions per line item. This new functionality grants our customers enhanced flexibility in managing their subscriptions, enabling them to order multiple subscriptions at once and pause or resume them individually as needed.

With this update, customers can temporarily stop one subscription while continuing others without any hassle. Resuming a paused subscription is simple, allowing customers to reactivate their subscriptions without needing to make a new purchase.

Additionally, we've introduced several powerful tools to further improve your subscription management:

To find the subscription section in the backend for MyAccount, simply go to the themes section, edit one of the themes, navigate to the pages section, and scroll down to the customer account area. There you'll find the subscriptions section, which is already included by default, so no additional steps or codes are needed.

This enhanced control over subscriptions not only elevates the user experience but also helps maintain customer satisfaction. With line-item level control of subscriptions, you can now manage each subscription independently, pausing and resuming as needed, all from a dedicated subscriptions page.

Explore these new features to enhance your subscription management and provide a more personalized experience for your customers!

Overall, the PayPal Checkout Tracking API helps improve the merchant and customer experience on our platform. Merchants receive more control and flexibility, while customers are kept happy throughout the order fulfillment process.

Introducing Time-Based Rewards, our powerful new feature designed to give you additional reward point allocation options in your online store experience. Now you’ll have the flexibility to set the frequency of reward point resets—whether it's monthly, quarterly, or yearly—according to your business or client’s needs. This streamlined approach saves you time and ensures consistent rewards for your customers. Here’s some of what we’ve added to allow for this capability:

First, you’ll want to create a customer custom field with an input type of Calendar/Date Picker. You can name this field Hire Date, Birthday or anything you’d like. We’ll use Hire Date for the purpose of this article. If you have dates relevant to your customers you can import those dates into that custom field using our Customer Import in Tools and uploading the dates via CSV. Once you have dates set for your customers, let’s dive into the new rule engine conditions!

For this exercise, we’ll build an automated rule in the Rule Engine to give 500 reward points to a customer to spend monthly. Once you’ve created your date custom field (Hire Date) you can check against that field using a new condition in the rule engine. Navigate to Rule Engine > Customer Events > New where you can create a rule based on a trigger like “the timed follow-up for a customer is triggered” and add our new condition “Time since date-based customer custom field”. Select Hire Date custom field with an operation set to “Equal To”, and an interval of “1” with an interval type of “Months”. Then add the action “Give Reward Points to Customer” with a value of 500. This will now reward the customer 500 reward points every time this rule is triggered.

Next, we’ll want to be sure that the store doesn’t give out points in error, so we advise adding a second calendar/date-picker custom field to customer records that will let you know the last date the points were received. We named this field LastRewardSentDate. Once you have your new custom field available you can add two additional conditions to the rule you made above:

Don’t forget you can navigate to Settings > Marketing and adjust your reward point settings at the store level for when you want any new points added to a customers account to expire or if they should expire at all!
