New Feature: Expose "Execute External Shipment" Function to the API
The “Execute External Shipment” action is now available to be used with Beta version of the Infoplus API. Previously, only the “Create External Shipment” function was available via the API, causing users to have to go into the Infoplus application to run the “Execute External Shipment” action. Now, both actions can be performed seamlessly via the API! This action will be available via the “/externalShipment/executeExternalShipment” endpoint. Multiple External Shipments can be executed at once by including multiple External Shipment ID numbers in the “idList” array. Please refer to the Infoplus API Documentation for information about required fields and expected responses when using the “Execute External Shipment” API endpoint.
New Feature: Allow "Rate Shop" Carriers on Orders when Using External Shipments
If an order had a “Rate Shop” carrier on it, and an External Shipment was attempted to be executed on the order, it would fail. Now, if an order with a “Rate Shop” carrier is shipped using a External Shipment, the External Shipment will go through and the “Rate Shop” carrier on the order will be overridden with the chosen carrier on the External Shipment.
Bug Fix: Unable to Externally Ship Backorders
Previously, if a backorder was attempted to be externally shipped using the External Shipments table, users would receive an error and be unable to create the External Shipment. This bug has been fixed, and backorders will be able to be successfully created and executed using External Shipments.
Updates: Shopify Improvements
If clients manually click the “Request Fulfillment” button on a Shopify order that has an Infoplus fulfillment service, that order fulfillment request will now successfully make it to Infoplus. We also updated our Infoplus Connect Shopify app to a newer version of Shopify.
Updates: V2 Allocation in Fulfillment
In an effort to retire legacy V1 allocation, if V1 allocation is selected on a Fulfillment Plan as the “Version,” V2 allocation will be forced to be used when the process is ran. This will not affect how orders are processed other than increased performance when going from V1 to V2 allocation. Additionally, if an item on an order contains Supplements, they no longer require V1 allocation and will go through V2 allocation.
New Servers Added to Support Increased Holiday Demand
As we gear up for the holiday rush, we're scaling up our infrastructure with the addition of new servers. This proactive step ensures that your business can handle the spike in online shopping traffic without a hitch. Our expanded server capacity means faster processing times, reduced risk of downtime, and a smoother user experience — all so that you can focus on sales and service, not server status.
Last Infoplus Product Update of the Year
With this release, we're wrapping up our product updates for the year, ensuring that our platform remains stable and reliable when it matters most. We've focused on delivering the features and fixes that are essential for peak performance during the high-stakes holiday season. By choosing to end our yearly release cycle now, we aim to provide a solid, uninterrupted service so you can deliver exceptional holiday experiences to your customers.
