App Download Bonus, Price Change Deal and more
Apr 24, 2024
Major Features
App Download Bonus
Drive greater adoption of your mobile apps by adding a points bonus incentive for customers to download your app. The app download bonus is configurable separately from your existing signup bonus.
Multi Select Vendors in Promotions
You can now select multiple vendors when creating vendor-specific promotions, and can search for vendor names.
Open Order Notifications
Play an audio notification when a new order is submitted.
Price Change Deal + Buy X Get Y option
The price change deal type allows you to specify a set price for the discounted items, regardless of their original price (eg. all items will be $5).
This deal can be used standalone, or as an option in the Buy X Get Y Deal type
POS Order Status Tracking
Carrot now displays the order status in the POS for orders that have been pushed to the POS via an API integration.
Show Payment Fees in Cart
If you have fees associated with specific payment methods, those fees can now be configured to display in the cart. Fixed dollar amounts and percentage based fees are available.
Contact us to add these to your store.
Sync Product Tags from POS
If your POS supports product tags, you can set certain tags to display in the store by adding “:visible:” in front of the tags. Eg “:visible:Chill”.
Tags without the :visible: prefix can still be used to influence product display. For example you could create a "notredeemable" tag and our team can configure Carrot to exclude items with that tag from being redeemed.
Support for filtering products based on tags coming soon.
Delivery Zone Fees
We offer the ability to add a fee to delivery orders based on what zone the address falls into. This would allow you to charge an extra fee for orders to far-off locations.
Enhancements
App Update Improvements
We made significant changes to our app infrastructure that will allow us to make changes to mobile apps without a formal App Store update process. This will mean mobile apps will be kept up to date with the web version of your store, and impactful disruptions to meet app store guidelines will be minimized.
Reduced CSS Conflicts for Embedded Stores
When the Carrot store app is embedded in a website it will now completely avoid any styling conflicts with the containing website by using “Shadow DOM” technology.
Archive Products
Products that haven’t been in stock for a long time can now be “archived” to avoid cluttering the UIf or store staff (please contact Carrot Support if you want to request products to be archived)
Loyalty Level Change Indicators
When a customer has a transaction or adjustment that pushes them into a new loyalty level, there will be a notice in their activity indicating the change.
Other Improvements
Faster initial loading of the Carrot store app
Loyalty level changes are now indicated both in the admin app and the store app
Fixed UX issues affecting the admin app when accessed on a phone
Hide the Cash/Points toggle if a product is not redeemable
Bug Fixes
Fixed product name overrides not applying to iOS and Android
Fixed delivery dates with delivery windows not using the correct time zone on the store app
Fixed some rare conditions that could prevent customer profiles from merging
Fixed store categories not opening on the first click after a cancelled global search
Fixed the store app redirecting the user away from the cart when an order submission was not successful. Now it will show an error modal instead and stay on the page with the same products and selections.
Fixed import of FlowHub images
Fixed Cova price tiers and consolidated same-product items in Cova order pushes
Improved Cova sync with support for “Strain Type” and ignoring empty strains
