Add Line Item to Orders
Previously, for both Proposal and Store Orders, there was no option to add new items to these orders which resulted in less than ideal workflows if the customer decided they wanted to add items, or if you needed to change an item out.. With this update, you’ll be able to do the following:
- Store Orders:these will have the option to add an item from your entire catalog (both blanks and pre-decs) to the order
- Proposal Orders:these will have the option to add an item from your catalog + design it (like in Proposals), add a custom line item, or add a reusable service.

Request Payment Shareable Link
This update introduces a significant enhancement to the "Request Payment" functionality in InkSoft's Order Detail View. Previously, payment requests could only be sent via email directly from the InkSoft system, which sometimes led to emails being marked as spam or coming from an unrecognized email address. The new feature allows users to copy a shareable link for the payment request, offering flexibility to share it through personal email clients, text messages, or other communication channels preferred by the business.

This new option is available within the 'Request Payment' pop up in the order detail view:

Order Manager Cancel & Refund Emails
In the Cancel & Refund order workflow, we require admins to select a ‘cancel reason’ which is connected to the email template that is sent to the customer whose order is being canceled. The updates provided in this workflow will now allow you to view, edit and save changes to an email template all in the cancel & refund steps, so that you do not need to navigate away to make email template changes for the scenario.

Store Product List CSV Download
We recognize a need for a high-level way to see what products you are offering in your store and some details around how those products are configured without editing each item individually. That being said, this feature allows the admins to download a CSV that shows either a simple output or a detailed output of product information.
Details:
- The simple will show you things like sku, colors offered, sizes offered, and some general settings like printing and custom personalization.
- The detailed output will give you more information like price per size and color, inventories and other color/size specific information.
- These will both show both pre-decorated and blank product information for those items assigned to the Store.
Use Cases:
- Inventory management - this gives admins a single spot to quickly check inventory levels for every product without editing each one
- Product management - this gives admins a single spot to quickly check which products they are offering and their settings
- Client approval - when working with a client and hosting a store for them, the admin can send them this information if they want approval over what the store is offering

You will find this option located in your Store Admin > Products area:

You will also be able to access this download from your Stores list area:

Store Performance Dashboard
In order to efficiently run a store, understanding how that store is doing at-a-glance can be a huge time saver. When shops build stores for their client’s needs (school store, employee store, community event store), the client often wants to be kept in the loop of how that store is doing, especially if there is a fundraiser component. Bringing visibility and accessibility to both the admin and the client of the basic analytics of the store removes the overhead of the having to run reports, etc. to review and/or then distribute via email to their client (after removing sensitive information).

Pickup Method Fees
The Pickup Method Fees feature allows admins to charge for specific pickup methods that will help offset the costs for boxing, handling, and storing products to be picked up by the customer. Simply select between 3 different pricing options such as charging by item count, weight, or subtotal, then add your own fees.
