New In-Stock Notification Module

Have you ever wanted your store to be able to inform a customer when an out of stock item comes back in stock?

If so, you’ll love our new In-Stock Notification Module. The module seamlessly integrates with any Pro version 11 store.

The module features:

* A simple way for customers to receive an email when a product comes back in stock.
* Prevents shoppers from adding an out of stock item to the cart.
* Allows you to customize the emails, messages, and method for notifying a customer a product is out of stock.
* Works with both basic and advanced cascading ordering options.

Here is what one Lexiconn client says about Ordoro -

“We started with Ordoro about 9 months ago. It has helped by dramatically decreasing the time it takes for us to ship our packages.

Before Ordoro, we would have to type every bit of every customer’s information into the UPS shipping system. It would take us about 10 minutes to ship every package. That was just crazy!

Ordoro has allowed us to take a package from picked and packed to labeled and shipped in about 2 minutes! With Ordoro, we get far more packages out in a day. Faster shipping means fewer customer emails and phone calls for order status information, leaving time to ship more orders.”

- Cynthia, EtherealDecor.com

US Postal Service Patch Applied

---

The U.S. Postal Service updated their rating system on January 22nd. This update broke First Class Rates for thousands of ecommerce stores, including ShopSite.

ShopSite has issued and we have installed a patch for version 11 SP1 and version 10 SP2 stores, so that real-time First Class rates are now returned properly.

The v11 SP1 patch was available and put in place on January 24th. The v10 SP2 patch was installed on January 31st.

For a full breakdown of what happened, check out our blog post:
