    Hosted customiser pages

    You can now generate unique links for your quote mode customisers that when navigated to will display the customiser in a page hosted by us.

    Backboards with texture images

    You can now upload a image to give the visual appearance of the real texture.

    This is a great way to visually represent the material of your backboard to your customers as its clearly visible in the visualiser.

    Using this feature allows you to sell new sign types like wooden signs or signs with visually unique material properties that extend beyond our current range of supportedsigns.

    fix

    Fix SVG word spacing consistancy

    The wordings in the SVG file was not consistent with the design shown on the visualiser and rendered product image, this update provides a fix to ensure the word spacing is consistent with the original designs presented to the customer and merchants.

    This will improve the manufacturing process as the SVG file designs can now be trusted to be consistent with the final product.

    feature

    Quote Mode

    You now have the ability to receive quotes of sign designs created by the user in our app.

    As these designs have already been created by the user already, this will save alot of time with the design approval process by reducing revisions and winning the sale sooner!

    By default, Sign Customiser is set to “Sales Mode,” which allows you to create a product and add it to your store’s customer cart so that they can purchase it from your store. This feature instead hides the price from the user and allows you to accept sign design quotes.

    Forms used for quote mode are different than our existing feature to embed custom design forms as quote mode forms use the design of the sign created by our app (same image as presented in the visualizer) as one of the reference images attached to the email. These generated images contains the user-selected options, e.g. colors, sizes, backboards, etc.

    Why you would want to use quote mode

    • Allow users to request a quote for a sign design they have created
    • Hide the price of the product from the user
    • Receive a visual representation of the sign design in the email
    • Receive an organised list of user-selected options in the email
    • Recieve the calculated price for streamlined quoting in the email (if you have added pricing for the options)

    For instructions on how to enable quote mode, please refer to our documentation.

    Faster product creation speed

    Over the past few months we have been re-engineering how products are created in our system. The aim of this project was to eliminate the case where a product would be generated with out any product images. However after many months of work we have also been able to significantly reduce the time it takes to create a product and add it to a users cart.

    This has been a significant undertaking but we are now happy to report that we have reduced the time it takes to create a product and add to a users cart by about 45% on average.

    The speed increase should be noticeable to all users and we hope that this will lead to an increase in conversion rates for our merchants.
