New Search Suggestion Module

---

We’re excited to announce our latest module, free for ShopSite Pro 11 clients – The Search Suggestion module.

Now you can have a dynamic dropdown under the search box on your site that shows customers your most popular items as they type. Make it easy for them to find and select the most likely items on their list.

The module is very configurable, allowing you to display images, select where the customer is taken when they click an item, etc…

Google Checkout and Shopping Changes

---

Google has been busy lately making changes and ending products. There are two important announcements from Google that apply to ShopSite merchants…

If you’re using Google Shopping for Product Ads (you should be), and you have custom made products that don’t have unique identifiers, there is a big change that takes effect July 15th. You will now need to send a new field to denote these types of products.

We have detailed information in our blog post Google Shopping Feed Changes:

In a surprise announcement, Google has decided that Google Checkout will cease to exist after November 20th. Google Wallet will still exist, but only for digital goods in the Google Play Store.

If you offer Google Checkout currently, you’ll want to make plans to phase it out of your site completely by November 20th at the latest. Our blog post Google Checkout No More has more details:
