Fixed

Error When Sending a Marketing Email
We have resolved an issue where some users were seeing a 500 error when trying to send an email through the Email Marketing module.

Old Unsubscribe in Some Emails
We resolved an issue where older emails were still using the old unsubscribe page. Now old emails should redirect the user to the new subscription management page, which is a better user experience.

Serialized Items Added to Kits Causing Inventory Issues
We have fixed an issue where you could add serialized items to a kit. This was not intended behavior for kits and was causing inventory data issues , so this ability has been removed.

Marketing Emails Being Sent Multiple Times
We've fixed a problem where repeatedly clicking the Send button would result in the marketing email being sent multiple times.

Email List Issues
We fixed a problem with Customer Groups and Email Lists that was causing several issues: sending emails, loading groups, viewing email stats, etc.

We have resolved a bug where line item discounts could not be applied to non-discountable items, despite the Discount Override for Non-Discountable Items setting being turned on.

Inventory Report Loading Time Reduced
We've made improvements to the loading time of the Inventory report. This mostly affects stores that have many products (certain stores with over 3-million unique products were experiencing long delays).

Website Inventory Not Matching POS Inventory
We fixed issues where website inventory did not match the Quantity on Hand currently available in store.

Sold Column in Product Inventory Tab Showing Incorrect Quantities
We fixed an issue for multi-location stores where for some inventory the Sold column was showing the same quantities across all locations. When the location was changed, the quantity changed to the correct quantity for the locations selected, but showed that same quantity for the remaining locations.

Faceted Search

Website Product Faceted Search

This feature is an available Beta Feature. You will be able to opt-in and activate it yourself if you are an Administrator-level User in the system and if you go to your Admin Button with your username in the upper right and you can access Beta Features. If you do not prefer to continue using it after trying it out, you can go back to that area to deactivate it again.

Please Note: We are proud to announce our newest and most powerful product search tool ever! This search will include both Product and Class Categories you use in the system, manufacturers, and product options and styles, as pictured here. You can also search a Price Range from this top level. You can set a Minimum and/or a Maximum Price Range you might be looking for.

fs 01.png

Faceted Search will utilize the different types of product Options you have established in the inventory you carry, for example, you may have set Colors and Sizes for your various products. Those families of Options will be visible in a left-hand column like the one pictured below, and your web shoppers can narrow their searching based on options that they prefer.

fs 02.png

The system will only use Options within the Category being displayed.

One thing to be mindful of: to make the best use of this system, it is advised that you use the same names for option families so the system won't see them as different things. For example, if in one product you called an Option family 'Size' and in another, you called it 'Sizes', those would both show up in the sidebar, even if they are referring to the same sizes.

Please Note: We have improved the way Faceted Search works when being used and viewed on mobile devices.

You can collapse the filters down to a single button and open them again as needed, as pictured below:

How do I activate the customer login at the top of my website?

The Customer Login feature can be turned on if you're website is live and if you have your SSL enabled. Prior to your site going live, if you click your Admin button with your username in the upper right and then go to Settings > Website Settings > Shopping Cart, you will see the Customer Login Options section at the bottom of the page. If your site is not live, you will see a message like the one above. If it is live, you will see toggle controls like the ones pictured below that enable you to Allow Customer Login (customers will be able to see purchases, cards on file, reward points, and other info) and you can Allow Customers to Create and Share Gift Registries. For more information on Gift Registries, click here: Gift Registry

If the Customer Login feature is not yet active for you, you will need to talk to your Customer Success Manager about the time frame in which your website will be going live.

How do I choose a secure password for my system account?

Make Secure Passwords for Rain POS

We highly recommend everyone take steps to improve their own safety online and in our system. Here are some easy and common password protection practices to keep your online account safe.

 

Create Unique Passwords

The safest thing you can do when creating an account is to always use unique passwords and never give them out. Tools like 1Password can help you manage your passwords across multiple services and assist in make your accounts safer.

 

Suggested Password Attributes

  • Keep your passwords long. We recommend making your password at least 8 characters long—the longer it is, the safer it is.
  • At least 1 non-alpha character (a numeric character).
  • Preferably at least 1 non-alphanumeric character (a character, or symbol, that appears on a keyboard that is not a number or a letter).

 

Create Strong Passwords and Check Their Security

A strong password is one that is easy for you to remember but hard for someone else to guess. Uncommon words or phrases work well, but try to keep them unique. Non-standard uPPercasing, creative spelllling, personal slang, and non-obvious numbers and symbols (using $ for s or 0 for o is too obvious!) may be helpful in helping you choose a password.

You can use online tools like How Secure Is My Password? to check your password strength.

It's kind of misleading, but the system is not asking you for the password you have forgotten or lost; the Old Password is for the temporary password you were given to log in with, so it will be whatever password you just used to get to the screen that is asking for the Old Password.

How do I prevent my employees from accessing the system from home?

There is not a way to prevent an employee from logging into the system remotely unless you log in for them. You need to be careful with your system security: if you have employees you don't want to be able to access the system remotely, make sure they do not have an Administrator Login. They can use a PIN code just fine for access to the Register and normal work tools, but someone with an Administrator login will have to log into the system to get them started. You also will need to be careful that they don't learn the username and password for any of the Administrator users on your account, since they would be able to use that to sign in from anywhere.

How does a new website Member get their login info?

You will need to set up a new Member Account in the system for each of your website Members (e.g. wholesale, club, anyone that needs password-protected content and pricing that is not available to the public). After you create their accounts, it's best for you to send them an email with a link to log into the site (just link to a password-protected page) and their login information. We recommend that under the Admin Button with your username Users > Members, you set up each of your Members with a username that is the email address you have for them, and set the password initially to 'changeme'.

You can create a standard email to send to a new member after you have this set up for them, and in the email just tell them to use their email address as their username and that their temporary password is 'changeme', and that they'll be prompted to create their own password. If any of your members forget their password, just reset it to changeme and tell them to log in with that, and once again they'll be prompted to set it to what they want. For more details on this process, click here: Website Administration - Members.

How should I get my cashiers started in the morning?

You will need someone with a system login to sign into the system for the first time each morning. Once they have logged into the system, they can open the Register and have the sales clerk enter their PIN (if you use PIN codes to track the employee assigned to each transaction). You will need to do this for each computer that will be using the system throughout the day.

The system also has an End of Day report if you just need your numbers for the different types of payments you received throughout the day. Click here for more information: Reports: Sales

If you need more robust drawer-counting tools, we also have our Shift Management feature, and more information is available on that here: Shift Management

Integrated Card Payments Global Fraud Protection

Our integrated card-processing Rain POS Payments global fraud protection helps detect and block fraud by using machine learning that examines data across billions of global transactions. It’s built right into your website and requires no additional work.

By learning from billions of sales each year, our global fraud protection assigns a risk score to each transaction and automatically blocks high-risk charges before it ever hits your business.

 

What Triggers Fraud Protection?

  • Partnerships with Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and others, allow us to use data like TC40s, SAFE reports, and early dispute notifications to identify fraudulent activity.
  • Proxy detection is used to identify IP spoofing and proxy usage, both of which are leading indications of fraud. We can also use the customer’s email domain to determine if a payment is fraudulent.
  • With billions of transactions happening through our network every year, we can use historical card data to spot patterns across years of data.

We also use more standard fraud detection methods like customer detail matching to ensure that the billing, shipping, and other properties match the customer information. Taking this a step further, we can use a customer’s data to track how many distinct countries the card was used in the past day. A card registered in Canada having been used in three or more countries in the past 24 hours can be assigned a level of fraud probability and handled accordingly.

 

Additional Information

  • For the most part we block fraud before you ever sees it or know it’s getting blocked. Sometimes transactions get through or we’re not 100% sure it is fraud. In these scenarios we proactively email the you and inform you of the risk.
  • If a you suspects a transaction may be fraudulent, please contact our support teams, from there they will open a case with our Risk Team for additional assistance or advice on how to handle the transaction.
  • At times you may also see in-store transactions get declined for fraud. This usually has an error code of something like ‘Declined. Suspected Fraud’. When this happens, it means one of our risk rules have been triggered and/or we received information from the card issuer about that card. In some cases, the merchant may still want to accept such transactions, while it is technically possible, we strongly discourage that behavior since it introduces additional risk to us and the merchant.

Point of Sale Best Practices

Here are some great things to do to improve your use of the Point of Sale system:

  • Utilize User PIN Codes - While it may be a slight annoyance to have to enter your PIN code for each new transaction, the benefits far outweigh the inconvenience. With this feature on, clerk names are logged on all transactions, and that puts accountability in place for you. Train your team to practice security: if you step away, click the Clerk name locking the screen. If you use this feature, make sure to create good PIN codes: nobody, including you or your managers, should use codes such as 0000 or 1234, or similar, intuitive numbers. Make codes for your employees, and make them random. To activate this feature, go to Settings > POS Settings, and in the left column, you will see where you can activate User PINs. Save at the bottom when done.
  • Use Rewards - Are you using the Rewards program? If so, do you feel like you're getting the most out of it? All by itself, the Rewards program is pretty good, but if you put effort into it and train your team to do so as well, you can start building serious loyalty. Train your clerks to talk about it, have them focus on customer experience and always be asking themselves, "If I was shopping here, what would make my experience better?" You can also offer bonus rewards as a marketing strategy, for example, if you have some items you need to sell, offer double reward points, and manually give customers extra rewards after purchasing. You can activate and configure your Rewards by going to Settings > POS Settings > Customer. After you're finished with the settings, scroll to the bottom and click Save.
  • Use Customer Notes / Transaction Notes - Are you noting everything properly? Sometimes taking a few seconds to note something can save hours of frustration later if you forget the details. Train your team to note everything: Use Customer notes to details special situations or circumstances, family members, etc. Use Transaction notes to record circumstances your accountant will need to understand at the end of the month. Adopting this as your regular process will help with special situations so everyone will know what is needed. Customer notes can be added by clicking to view the customer details and scrolling down to the Other section and entering notes in the Till Alert area. You can add notes to a transaction by clicking the Notes link to the right of the main item search field.
  • Make the Best Use of Coupons- If you are not already using coupons for promotions, you should take advantage. They are flexible and can add tremendous value to sale events you run. For more information on how to set up your Coupons, click here: Coupons. Maximize the effectiveness of your coupons by sending out email blasts with the coupon code, feature the code in Facebook and other social media posts, and instruct your team to offer the code to everyone so they won't miss out! To create a Coupon, go to Products > Coupons and once you're finished, click Save at the bottom.
  • Work in Multiple Browser Tabs - Ever feel like you're having to do way too many clicks just to get information when you're in the middle of something? You should be working in multiple browser tabs! It's much easier to click an open tab that's already got your Customers or your Products or whatever it is you find yourself looking up throughout your day. Keep several tabs open at once; one for your Register, and others for the parts of the system you need most, and that way you don't have to leave your transaction and possibly have to recreate it after you look up that critical piece of information. To open a system link in at new tab, hold down Ctrl and click on the link, or right-click and choose Open in New Tab from the popup menu.

Adopting this as your regular process will help with special situations so everyone will know what is needed. Customer notes can be added by clicking to view the customer details and scrolling down to the Other section and entering notes in the Till Alert area. You can add notes to a transaction by clicking the Notes link to the right of the main item search field.
  • Make the Best Use of Coupons- If you are not already using coupons for promotions, you should take advantage. They are flexible and can add tremendous value to sale events you run. For more information on how to set up your Coupons, click here: Coupons. Maximize the effectiveness of your coupons by sending out email blasts with the coupon code, feature the code in Facebook and other social media posts, and instruct your team to offer the code to everyone so they won't miss out! To create a Coupon, go to Products > Coupons and once you're finished, click Save at the bottom.
  • Work in Multiple Browser Tabs - Ever feel like you're having to do way too many clicks just to get information when you're in the middle of something? You should be working in multiple browser tabs! It's much easier to click an open tab that's already got your Customers or your Products or whatever it is you find yourself looking up throughout your day. Keep several tabs open at once; one for your Register, and others for the parts of the system you need most, and that way you don't have to leave your transaction and possibly have to recreate it after you look up that critical piece of information. To open a system link in at new tab, hold down Ctrl and click on the link, or right-click and choose Open in New Tab from the popup menu.

 

Point of Sale Best Practices

Here are some great things to do to improve your use of the Point of Sale system:

  • Utilize User PIN Codes - While it may be a slight annoyance to have to enter your PIN code for each new transaction, the benefits far outweigh the inconvenience. With this feature on, clerk names are logged on all transactions, and that puts accountability in place for you. Train your team to practice security: if you step away, click the Clerk name locking the screen. If you use this feature, make sure to create good PIN codes: nobody, including you or your managers, should use codes such as 0000 or 1234, or similar, intuitive numbers. Make codes for your employees, and make them random. To activate this feature, go to Settings > POS Settings, and in the left column, you will see where you can activate User PINs. Save at the bottom when done.
  • Use Rewards - Are you using the Rewards program? If so, do you feel like you're getting the most out of it? All by itself, the Rewards program is pretty good, but if you put effort into it and train your team to do so as well, you can start building serious loyalty. Train your clerks to talk about it, have them focus on customer experience and always be asking themselves, "If I was shopping here, what would make my experience better?" You can also offer bonus rewards as a marketing strategy, for example, if you have some items you need to sell, offer double reward points, and manually give customers extra rewards after purchasing. You can activate and configure your Rewards by going to Settings > POS Settings > Customer. After you're finished with the settings, scroll to the bottom and click Save.
  • Use Customer Notes / Transaction Notes - Are you noting everything properly? Sometimes taking a few seconds to note something can save hours of frustration later if you forget the details. Train your team to note everything: Use Customer notes to details special situations or circumstances, family members, etc. Use Transaction notes to record circumstances your accountant will need to understand at the end of the month. Adopting this as your regular process will help with special situations so everyone will know what is needed. Customer notes can be added by clicking to view the customer details and scrolling down to the Other section and entering notes in the Till Alert area.

To ensure they are delivered, pasted images will now be automatically removed. Instead, users should use the Insert Image function, as pictured below. This keeps emails compatible across all email clients.

Register Alert If Loaner Is Attached To Work Order
We now show a pop-up alert in the Register if a Loaner was attached to a Work Order in the transaction where the customer is paying for the completed work. This is to ensure the sales clerk knows that a loaner should have been returned for the work order they are processing.

Consignor Payouts in the Register Showing Incorrect Amounts
We’ve fixed an issue where, when paying out a consignor, the Register would not display the amount for the first payment method if the payout was split and the first payment entered was $1000 or more. This only affected split payments where the first entry was at least $1000, and it has now been resolved.

Balances Owed in Register Showing Unused System Areas
There was an issue where in some cases, balances owed that display in the Register would show Rental Contracts or other system functions that the store did not use at all. Now the Balances Owed pop-up in the Register respect the actual system areas from which they were generated.

Web Checkout Gets Stuck on Captcha
Online shopping customers were getting stuck during the checkout process on the Captcha screen, resulting in eternal load and timeout. This seems to have been for only certain stores and caused by the Colorado Delivery Fee update made recently. We have fixed this issue.

  • A new section called Ship To Information has been added directly below. 
  • In this section, you can choose whether to display Home Phone, Cell Phone, and Email.
  • When you check or uncheck these options, the fields will automatically appear or disappear in the invoice preview, the PDF, and the printed version.
  • If a field is hidden, the invoice will adjust itself so there’s no extra blank space—everything below shifts up neatly, keeping the layout compact.

Second Blank Page Printing on Form Style Receipts
We've made some updates recently to adjust the white space around headers and footers to avoid receipts printing a second blank page. This all depends of course on how many items the receipt has, but single item receipts should no longer print a second blank page when they have reasonably short product names and descriptions.

Some Transactions Not Appearing in Orders Module
We have fixed an issue where some completed orders would not appear on the Orders module page.

Shipping Data Added to Sales Summary Report
We have added a line for Shipping in the sales summary report because this wasn't tracked before, and because the lack of a a shipping account in this report was causing discrepancies in other reports when compared to the Sales Summary Report.

Phone Number Field Not Displaying as Valid in Website Checkout
We fixed an issue where a valid phone number entered in the website checkout was not displaying as valid which would prevent checking out.

Text Wrap In Text Contact Area of Work Order
We’ve added text wrapping in the Work Order window so words will no longer split across line breaks, making long messages much easier to read in the text message area of the Work Order.

Local Delivery Tab at Checkout
Local Delivery shipping methods now appear under a Local Delivery tab instead of a Shipping tab during checkout. This change was a highly requested update because most customers don't consider local delivery and shipping be be the same thing.

Sell Consignment Inventory First
When you scan an item that’s on consignment into the Register, a new popup now displays all related consignment contracts. This allows you to quickly select the correct contract to sell from—or choose to sell inventory that's not in consignment. This allows you to move your consignment inventory instead of standard inventory first.

Emails Going Out Incorrectly for Waitlist
We fixed an issue where customers incorrectly received in-stock email notifications for products with unchanged decimal quantities.

Checkout Not Completing When Re-visiting Checkout Page
We have fixed an issue that would happen with classes at website checkout when the checkout was started, left, and then started again.

Tax Calculation Displaying on Work Orders For Non-Taxable Services
We resolved an issue where non-taxable services in Work Orders were incorrectly showing an estimated tax amount both before and after saving. The Work Orders list page was also displaying totals that included tax, even when the services were non-taxable.

Cannot Add Products to Cart
There was an issue where having two consecutive # characters in a product title caused the product’s Add to Cart functionality to break. We have fixed this issue.

We have fixed an issue that prevented certain Quotes or Transactions from completing when specific serial numbers were involved, even when different Register locations were selected.

Enhanced Clarity for Reordering Page Components
We’ve improved the Reorder Components functionality to make it easier for users to identify and organize components with similar types.
Key Enhancements:
  • Clearer Labels: Page component headers now include both the component name and type (e.g., “Veterans Day Promotion – Content Component”) for quick and accurate identification.
  • Visual Highlighting: When you click or hover over a component, that section is now visually highlighted on the right side of the page, making it clear which component you're editing.
  • Module Naming: You may now rename configured modules whatever you would like so it is much easier to discern the module you're moving/editing.


Fixed

Searches in Serialized Inventory Not Returning Results
We resolved an issue in the Serialized Inventory module where searches by title or SKU returned no results. The issue occurred inconsistently and could not be replicated in testing environments. The search functionality now correctly returns matching products by both product title and SKU.

Blog Module Header Overlapping Content
In addition to fixing this bug, we've improved mobile responsiveness and cleaned up element styles. There was a conflict between site layout styles and module header styles, causing overlapping text in some of the titles and dates.

Some Custom Product Fields Not Displaying on Website
We resolved an issue where custom product fields created for existing attributes (such as weight, height, and serial number) were not displaying on the website, even when the “Show Online” option was enabled and the fields were populated. These fields now correctly appear online as intended.

Sales Total Not Agreeing Between Reports
We have fixed discrepancies between the Sales Details, End of Day, and Sales Tax reports where sales totals and applied taxes did not align for specific date ranges (e.g., 10/1–10/5/2024). Report calculations are now consistent across all reports, ensuring accurate and reconcilable sales and tax data.

Quotes Displaying in Orders Module Before Transaction Completed
We resolved an issue where Quotes created for upcoming shipping orders were appearing in the Orders module before being completed in the Register. Quotes now remain separate from active orders until they are finalized, preventing confusion and ensuring only completed orders display in the Orders module.

Variant Quantities Disappearing When Adjusting Variant Price in Receiving Order
When updating the price or cost of a product variant from within an RO, saving the product caused all variants of that item to have their unit quantities cleared from the RO. This resulted in incorrect handling of backorders, as affected variants were being zeroed out instead of remaining in backorder status. The system now correctly retains unit quantities for all product variants as expected.

Coupon Dates Sometimes Incorrect Due to Time Zone Error
We fixed an issue on the new Coupons list page where selected dates could shift slightly after saving due to a time zone error.

Special Order Allowing Negative Deposits
Previously, negative payment amounts could be entered on Special Orders, which could cause incorrect totals and lead to unexpected order behavior. The system now no longer allows any negative payment amounts on Special Orders. This ensures accurate payment records and prevents balance or status issues caused by invalid negative entries.

QuickBooks Online Exporting Incorrect Data
We have fixed an issue where incorrect COGS adjustments were being exported to QuickBooks Online due to account name changes made by users in QBO. The system now links accounts by account number rather than by name, ensuring accurate exports going forward.

  • The Blog Module page now marked as Beta.
  • New style options: choose between rows or cards for posts.


Fixed

Barcode Printing We fixed a text rendering issue where wrapped text overlapped and printed on top of itself.

Product Variants Out of OrderWe’ve resolved an issue where product variants were occasionally displaying out of alphabetical order after saving changes. 

In-Store Scheduled Sales Showing Discounts OnlineWe’ve fixed an issue where scheduled in-store only sales were incorrectly showing discounted prices online.

Notions Marketing PO Missing Items When Notions Marketing Purchase Orders contained a large number of items or rows the system sometimes timed out due to trying to process all items at once, resulting in many items missing from the PO. We’ve updated the process so that each line item is now handled individually instead of all at once. This makes the matching and processing more reliable and prevents timeouts on large POs. It will also perform better on systems with lower memory.

Negative Total Online After Adding a CouponWe have fixed an issue where coupons could cause online order totals to go negative at checkout.

Unable to Save When Editing Older InventoryWe’ve fixed an issue where all imported products were showing an incorrect receive date of 1899 in the product details. This affected all such items across the system for certain retailers.

Unable to Complete Website CheckoutWe resolved an issue preventing customers from completing online checkout. The problem was related to CAPTCHA validation during payment processing with TransNational as the processor. Checkout now completes successfully without interruption.

Coupons Not Working in the Register We fixed an issue where coupons were not scanning due to the CPN** prefix not being recognized.

ShipStation Errors Appearing Incorrectly in Some Orders
We have fixed an issue where some clients were seeing ShipStation errors on orders even though it wasn't enabled.

Unable to Change Work Order Status After Completion
Issue: After completing the transaction in the register for a work order pickup, the user is not able to change the status from "Completed" back to a different status - "In process" or "Ready for Pickup", for example.

Layaway Payment Balance Discrepancy
In some cases, when a Layaway deposit amount was slightly higher than the required amount (often due to rounding in the Register), the next scheduled payment appeared higher than the remaining balance. We’ve fixed this issue so that payment calculations now use a single, consistent source of data.

Fixed

Complete Loaner On Work Order Pickup
We resolved an issue where picking up a Work Order with a Loaner item was not closing out the loaner, leaving it marked as overdue and still reserved.

Variant Prices Updating Incorrectly
There was an issue where updating an item price sometimes caused variant prices to shift or swap between styles after saving. Pricing changes now apply only to the selected model, and all variant prices remain stable and accurate.

Some Online Canadian Taxes Not Being Charged
We resolved an issue where certain customers were able to bypass tax calculation on online orders. This occurred despite correct tax and customer profile configurations, affecting multiple customers and orders. We have fixed this, and it was only affecting customers in Canada.

We fixed an issue where new variants wouldn't save and sometimes would become blank after clicking out of data entry fields.

Fixed

Shopify Order Refunds Being Blocked
We fixed an issue where refunds were blocked if the order amount in our system was lower than in Shopify. The check the system does on amounts now handles this case correctly.

Marketing Emails Generating Expired Codes
We have fixed an issue where the system was generating expired coupon codes for marketing emails.

Bin Locations Removed After Product Bulk Edit
We resolved an issue where performing a bulk edit on products would delete any existing Bin Locations for those items. 

Receiving Order Missing Some Item Costs
We fixed an issue where the Receiving Order did not display product costs for items that weren't on the original Purchase Order. 

On Order Quantity Not Accurate Across Locations
Under the inventory tab of the product page, the quantities were not correct for "On Order" column across different store locations. One of the locations was correct, but the others were copying and displaying the same number. We have fixed this issue.

End of Day and Payout Report Totals Not Matching
We resolved an issue where End of Day (EOD) totals did not always match Payout report totals for certain locations. Some transactions were not being included in the payout report, leading to small discrepancies between the two totals.

Stripe Subscription Payments Not Processing
We fixed an issue where active Subscriptions were not charging customers as expected, even when a valid card was on file. In some cases, no payment attempts were recorded in Stripe for recent billing cycles. 

Website Editor Links Not Working
We fixed the new website editor so it no longer breaks URL links you have added.

Fixed

Unable to Re-Save Quote After Loading into Register
Retailers reported that after saving a Quote, reloading it into the Register, and adding another item, the system was preventing you from saving it again. All Quotes affected by this issue and the root misbehavior have been fixed.

Incorrect Tax Handling on Orders Module Refunds
When processing refunds through the Orders module for payments collected online, the tax amount was staying positive instead of reversing correctly. This issue did not affect refunds processed in the Register. We have fixed this issue.

Coupons Not Applying to Classes
We fixed an issue where coupons were not applying discounts to eligible classes.

Incorrect “Created By” User Display on New Work Orders
When a new Work Order was created, the “Created By” field was sometimes displaying the wrong user's name or or was blank until the record was saved. We have fixed this issue. Work Orders affected by this issue now reflect the correct user name.

“Add to Cart” Visibility Settings Not Respected in Product Variants
Variants configured to Show Price on Website but not set to Show Add to Cart Button were previously displaying the add to cart option anyway. We have fixed this issue so all variants display as set.

Margins Report and End Of Day Report Discrepancy on Shopify Sales
We fixed an issue causing daily Margin and End of Day (EOD) totals to not reconcile correctly for Shopify sales revenues. The system now accurately aligns sales data to ensure consistent Margin and EOD reporting.

System Creating Receiving Orders for Fully Received Purchase Orders
We added validation to prevent the system from creating a Receiving Order (RO) for a fully received Purchase Order (PO). This ensures data consistency and prevents duplicate or invalid receiving records. Users will now see the message: 
“Cannot create a Receiving Order for a fully received Purchase Order” and will be redirected to the related PO page.

Product Sale Price Not Populating in the Register
We fixed an issue in the register where some items with sale prices were not populating their sale price, and displaying regular price instead.

Digital Download File Name Doesn't Appear on New Product Page
We have fixed an issue where the digital download file was not showing up under the Website Settings tab of the edit product page.

Welcome Email Not Sending After Opt-In Confirmation
Customers were receiving the opt-in confirmation email but not the follow-up Welcome email, which often contains incentives such as coupon codes that were promised to customers who signed up. This issue has been resolved so that the Welcome email now sends automatically after a customer confirms their opt-in.

Incorrect Decimal Discounts Assigned to Customers
We resolved an issue where some customers were randomly assigned unauthorized discounts displayed as decimal values. The discount assignment logic has been updated to ensure only valid percentage-based discounts are applied to the correct customer profiles.

Fixed

Refund User Permissions Not Working Correctly
We resolved an issue where users without refund permissions could still access the Return Items option and process refunds. The system now correctly enforces permission settings, ensuring only authorized users can issue refunds.

Customer Group Restricted Coupons Not Working
We fixed an issue where coupons restricted to specific customer groups were not applying the discount.

Automated Invoice Emails Missing PDF Attachment
We resolved an issue where monthly invoice statements automatically sent to customers were missing the PDF attachment. 

Miscellaneous Item Department Not Respecting Discount Rules
We fixed an issue where miscellaneous items (the Misc Items you add in the Register that do not track inventory) were not following the rules of the department's discount eligibility.

Inventory Value Report Export Missing Month
Some stores were missing the month of October when exporting previous months from the Inventory Value Report. We have fixed this issue.

Missing Ship Date in Ordered Inventory Export
We’ve resolved an issue where the Ship Date column was not being included when exporting the Ordered Inventory Report. 

Form Style Receipt Missing Work Order Information
We've fixed an issue with Form Style receipts where certain Work Order information such as quantity and price were showing up for some Work Orders but not for others.

Error on Curbside Pickup at Checkout
We have resolved an issue when selecting Curbside Pickup at checkout where the system was loading the wrong pickup location or no location at all.

Incorrect Discount Display on Invoices
We fixed an issue where payments applied to an invoice were mistakenly displayed in the Discount field, even when no discount was given.

Edit Customer Window Failing to Load
We resolved an issue where the Edit Customer window was failing to load any customer data for specific customers.

Website Editor Navigation Missing
We have fixed an issue where the website editor navigation menu was missing when viewed from web pages containing the Blog module.

Suspended Transactions Not Resuming
We resolved an issue where suspended transactions could not be resumed. If a transaction was put on hold—such as when an employee paused the sale to retrieve a gift card—the system failed to load the suspended transaction afterward, preventing sales clerks from viewing or continuing it. 

Claim Ticket Option Not Showing in New Print Window
We've fixed an issue where the option to print a claim ticket for a Work Order deposit or pickup was not showing up in the new print window.

Unable to Delete Saved Card on File
We resolved an issue where a customer’s saved card couldn’t be removed after an autopay error. Card deletion now works as expected.

Online Customers Able to Add to Waitlist with the Setting Turned Off
We fixed an issue where customers shopping for an out of stock product were able to add it to the waitlist even though the waitlist setting was turned off.

Marketing Email Subscription Not Respecting Edits
We have fixed an issue where any marketing email subscription changes made before the customer opted in to marketing emails were ignored once the customer confirmed from the opt-in email.

Product Not Populating Correct Price in Register
We fixed issues in the Register causing some item prices to not populate the correct price.

Some Picked Up Special Orders Showing as Ready for Pickup
We've resolved an issue where Special Orders that had already been picked up were still showing as Ready for Pickup. This was happening in very rare cases when a Special Order was in the Register but one of the items was deleted before completing the transaction. We have corrected the data on those transactions.

Website Content Missing After Enabling New Website Editor
We fixed an issue where certain website content was hidden after enabling the new Beta Website Editor.

Unable to Select 'No BO' Option in Receiving Orders
We have fixed an issue where users were unable to use the No Backorder checkbox within certain Receiving Orders.

Unable to Update Marketing Email Defaults
We've updated the Marketing settings so that certain basic marketing settings are now available to all stores regardless of whether they pay for the Marketing package.

Item Condition Not Printing on Labels
Previously, since Receiving Orders don't work directly with item conditions, they were not being printed on product labels. We've fixed this issue and the condition now prints on labels if Condition is selected in the label settings.

Tax Calculation Errors
We have resolved several issues impacting tax accuracy:

  1. We fixed a discrepancy where checkout and the internal system calculations were calculating different WA tax jurisdictions by ensuring both use the same full address (address1 + address2).
  2. We have adjusted checkout logic so WA locations correctly use dynamic tax when available, preventing fallback to store tax in edge cases.

The Word "Barcode" Appearing in Place of an Actual Barcode on Printed Work Orders
We've fixed an issue when printing the Work Order Ticket from the Work Order window, where the word "Barcode" was appearing rather that getting an actual barcode lines.

Some Transactions Not Calculating Correct Totals
We fixed an issue where some discounts were being incorrectly applied to transactions, creating incorrect subtotals and totals.

Missing Variant Display for “0” Option
We resolved an issue where product variants using the single-digit value “0” (such as Size 0 for clothing) stopped appearing in the product details view. Although the variant still showed correctly in Inventory > Products and continued to load in the register, it did not display within the product’s main information panel.

Website Modules Duplicating
We fixed an issue where adding certain modules to your website would improperly add a duplicate of the same module.

Unable to Run Sales Details Report With Default Filters
We've fixed an issue where the Apply button at the top of the Sales Details report that updates the data to respect your filter choices was disabled when opening the report for the first time with its default filters. You are now able to open the report and immediately click Apply to run the report with its defaults.

Some Items Not Being Added to Purchase Orders Via Purchase Queue
We have resolved an issue where certain products with a Desired Stock Level and Reorder Point configured in their product details were not being added to Purchase Orders when generated through the Purchase Queue. The system now correctly evaluates these thresholds and includes all eligible items as expected.

Void Invoice Error
Previously, voiding an Invoice that had payments would reload the page without actually voiding. Attempting to void from the original transaction displayed “Can’t Void Invoice.” The system now shows a clear pop-up message: “Please refund payments on the transaction before the invoice can be voided.”

Marketing Emails Failing to Send
We've implemented some additional fixes to improve your marketing email sending success rate.

Printing Labels for Consignment Duplicating Print Quantity
When printing products related to consignment, if you opened, closed, then reopened the print window, the original print quantity was duplicating. This forced you to completely close out of the product and refresh to get the correct quantity back. We have fixed this issue.

Purchase Order Info Changing After Clicking Print
We fixed an issue where several pieces of information would suddenly change after clicking Print within the PO.

Cannot Create a Product in a Purchase Order with the Old Product Page
This bug affected only stores that are using the old product page. When trying to create a product in the Purchase Order page, the Product page was freezing and not allowing product creation. We have resolved this issue.

We've added a new option for printing product labels based on what is On Hand for each item. By default, the Quantity is set to 1, but selecting this new button will update all items selected to reflect their On Hand quantities.

Fixed

Cash Drawer Starting Amount Field Not Saving
We have fixed an issue where users were allowed to enter alphabetic characters in the Start Amount field when opening a shift. This caused the starting event to fail to save, which then triggered an error when closing the shift. We now only allow numeric characters in that field.

Incorrect Sold Count for Some Products
We fixed an issue where the Sold count displayed within the product was showing an incorrect amount.

Inventory Value Report Missing Departments
We fixed an issue where some departments and/or sub-departments were missing from the Inventory Value report for certain months on the export.

Incorrect On-Hand Count for Returned Placeholder Serial Items
Placeholder items (TBD-serial items) that were sold, returned, and then resold with real serial numbers were still showing as On Hand and couldn’t be cleared due to their sale history. We have fixed this issue and the incorrect sold quantities that resulted from it.

Customer Items Not Clearing from Register
Previously, if there was a customer-specific item in the Register (such as a payment) if the customer was removed the item was remaining. We have fixed this issue.

Custom Customer Email Fields Changing Main Email Address
We fixed an issue where any custom email fields edited for a customer were also editing the main Email Address for the customer as well.

Incorrect Coupon Amount Distributed Across Items
We have fixed an issue where some coupon discounts were calculated incorrectly when both eligible and non-eligible items were present.

Total Receipts in End Of Day Report Incorrect
We resolved an issue where the Total Receipts area was not matching with the overall Total in the old view of End of Day report. This issue had to do with Other and Custom tender types where the amount entered in the Register for a transaction exceeded the Amount Due. The Register will now notify the user of this and prevent it from happening.

Unsubscribe Process Not Recording Reason
We fixed an issue where unsubscribing from the Subscription Management page wasn't saving the reason for unsubscribing.

'New Products' Web Module Using Previous Month Instead of Current Month
We have fixed an issue where the New Products website module was titled with the previous month instead of the current month. 

Comma Character in Product Title Causing Problems in Other Areas
When adding new products from bulk and spreadsheet uploads, as well as when adding products through vendor APIs (Notions in particular) in Purchase Orders, if the product name contained a comma the system treated it like two products and the item wouldn't work in the system. We have fixed this issue.

Receiving Order Discount Not Calculating Correctly
We fixed an issue when adding a discounts in the Receiving Order window would in some cases not calculating correctly, rounding the percentage to something other than what was entered.

Incorrect Price on Printed Labels
We resolved an issue where product labels were showing a crossed-out price that didn’t match the product’s current pricing. Updating or clearing the sale price now works correctly and no longer reverts to outdated values.

Payout Report Adding Extra Months Making Totals Incorrect
We fixed an issue where for certain months the Payouts Report was pulling in dates not selected, causing the report totals to be incorrect for the selected dates.

Purchase Order Deletion Adjustments
We have updated the main PO list page and the PO page to be consistent with when you can delete the PO based on the Status.

Website Waitlist Popup Partially Hidden on Mobile
We fixed an issue where part of the Waitlist popup wasn't displaying on mobile.

PO/RO Form Style Save Button Not Working
We've fixed an issue where the Save button on the Purchase/Receiving Order Form Style was not responding and was not saving changes.

Email Account Status Banner Causing Site Slowdown
We resolved an issue where the email account status banner that could display at the top of the navigation menu was causing some website slowdown problems.

Request Review Failing to Send Emails
We fixed an issue where emails were occasionally not sending from the Request Review feature, both from the Register in the print receipt options as well as in the Request Review module in the Marketing tab. Please Note: This does not fix a similar issue where Request Review emails are not showing up in Clientbook®. That is a separate issue that we are currently working on fixing.

Shopify Order Stuck in Pending Status
We've solved an issue where captured Shopify orders were appearing as Payment Pending.

Terms & Conditions Link Not Opening in Checkout
We fixed an issue where the Terms & Conditions link in checkout no longer opened the expected window. Instead, the link redirected back to the cart, and only displayed properly once the payment step was reached. 

Certain Symbols Encoded Incorrectly When Saving Product
We have fixed an issue where certain symbols, when saved within the product Title field, would instead display as a long string of incorrect characters.

Losing Customer Info When Saving
When the Edit Customer window was opened (ie. clicking customer name in register) and the Save button was clicked before all customer info was loaded, some of the customer info was in some cases lost. To fix this, the Save button is now disabled until all customer info has loaded.

Improvements to the New Print Window in the Register
Due to some screen resolutions being lower, the new Receipt Options window occasionally needed to be scrolled to view everything. To prevent some of this scrolling we have made the transaction Summary area collapsible so that it is only visible when desired and saves room. We've also made the bottom action buttons 'sticky', so they are always visible.

Image showing updates to the Print Receipt window in the Rain POS POS.

Customer Marketing Opt-Out / Deselect All
Added the ability to opt out a customer from all marketing emails or deselect all marketing emails from the Edit Customer window.


Fixed

Search Results Not Returning SKUs
We resolved an issue where searching by SKU did not consistently return the correct item across search bars (including Transfers, Register, and Product List page). In some cases—especially when copying and pasting a SKU—the item would not appear or would fail to surface at the top of results. We have improved search behavior to ensure SKUs reliably return and display as expected.

Wrong Coupon Calculations at Web Checkout
We fixed an issue where a coupon's discount was calculating incorrectly once an item with a sale price was also added to cart.

Messages Not Showing Up in Clientbook Using Request Review Feature
We resolved an issue where messages sent from Request Review did not correctly match a customer in Clientbook when only a phone number or email was entered instead of full customer details. 

Special Characters Not Allowed for Coupon Codes
We have fixed an issue where special characters were not allowed to be used as part of a coupon's code from the new beta Coupons list page.

Completed Purchase and Receiving Orders Not Showing Details
We fixed an issue where from the Edit Product page inventory history, opening a Receiving Order was not providing RO details: all fields were blank. Deleted purchase orders were causing this, and we implemented 'soft' deletion of ROs which will retain the RO information even if the PO is deleted.

Washington State Classes Not Taxable Online
Washington State now requires the charging of taxes when customers purchase classes online. Stores will need to ensure that service tax rates are set up under Tax Profiles in the tax settings.

Can't Export Waitlist Report
We fixed an issue where users were unable to export the Waitlist Report when using the Past Classes view.

Inventory Quantity Incorrect After Product Save
Previously, if the product page was open in one browser tab, and in a separate tab, a transaction was completed with the product that was open, after the transaction, when the user returned to the product page window and saved the product, the system was incorrectly adding back the quantity that was sold in the Register. We have fixed this issue.

Condition on Serialized Items Not Saving
We fixed an issue where editing the Condition on a serialized product was not saving on the Edit Product page.

Manual Inventory Adjustments Removing Received Items
We've fixed an issue where the system automatically was making manual adjustments to products after they were received - reducing or adding quantities. 

Report Dates Inaccurate
We fixed an issue where report dates did not match the store’s local time. Reports grouped by transaction date and payout date now correctly use the store’s time zone, ensuring all dates and totals display accurately.

Short-Term Rental Reservations Getting Duplicate Items
We fixed an issue where editing an existing short-term rental reservation caused all previously added items to be duplicated. Items will no longer double when a reservation is updated.

Continue Receiving Button Missing in Purchase Order
We've resolved an issue where in some situations the Continue Receiving button in a Purchase Order was hidden when it should be accessible.

Email Field Not Editable in Print Window
We fixed an issue where when pulling up a transaction to send an email the email field was not editable.

Rounding Applying to Credit Card Transactions
We have fixed an issue where transactions were rounding when making the payment with credit cards.

Duplicate ShipStation Labels
We fixed an issue where clicking Print Shipping Label multiple times would create duplicate ShipStation labels. The system now creates only one label per order, unless the order is modified—at which point a new label will be generated after clicking Print Shipping Label button.

SSL Not Recognized When Clicking Email Links
Some customers report seeing "Unsafe" site errors when clicking emailed links from our system. We have put some extra measures in place to ensure that this won't happen when a store has SSL enabled.

Items Duplicate When Resuming Transaction
We fixed an issue where items are duplicating when resuming certain suspended transactions.

Shopify Shipping Amount Discrepancy
We resolved an issue where shipping amounts from Shopify transactions were imported incorrectly, causing a mismatch between Shopify and our system. Shipping values are now imported accurately and match the original transaction.

Enhanced Email Marketing Module

Improved Service Description Formatting & Printing
Service descriptions now support richer formatting and print as entered. You can add bold, italic, underline, and line/paragraph breaks, with a larger editor. All formatting is preserved across service setup, work orders, and receipt printouts. Please note, this update applies to Form Style receipts only.

Work Order Tags Now in Work Orders Page Search

We fixed an issue where bad email addresses marked as Ignored could not be retried. These emails can now be retried as expected.

Oldest Serial Number Prints on All Labels When Printing Multiple Serialized Items
When printing labels for serialized products, the oldest selected serial number was being printed on all labels. We have fixed this issue.

Coupons and Discounts Displaying Incomplete Info in Transaction View
Fixed an issue where coupons and discounts were not displaying information correctly on older transactions. A recent update added more coupon and discount details to new transactions, but it caused display issues on older transactions. The transaction view now limits what’s shown for older transactions to avoid confusion and partial information.

Notions Integration Not Bringing Over All Items to Purchase Orders
We have fixed the integration we have with Notions Marketing, specifically addressing issues where not all items submitted were showing up on the Purchase Orders.

Printing Receipts from iPad Produces Blank Prints
We fixed an issue with iPads related to printing where pages are showing up blank.

Email Confirm Opt-In Failing
We fixed an issue where some customers opting in to marketing emails from the confirm opt-in email were not being opted in.

Vendor ID Invalid Error on Add New Product Spreadsheet Upload
We have fixed an issue where a valid vendor ID was incorrectly flagged as invalid when using the Add New Product spreadsheet.

Serialized Items with Unlimited Web Inventory
We fixed an issue where items could be configured as both Serialized and Unlimited Web Inventory in the legacy product page, which is not intended system behavior. The system now prevents this invalid combination to ensure accurate inventory tracking.

Unable to Save or Mark Purchase Order as Sent
We've addressed an issue where trying to save a PO or mark it as Sent resulted in an error message.

End of Day Total Net Sales / Total Receipts Incorrect
We have resolved an issue with the Total Net Sales calculation, and in the old view of End of Day the Total Receipts as well, where the system was rounding incorrectly, causing these totals to be off by a cent or two.

Issues Editing Quote Form Style Header
We fixed an issue that prevented users from being able to edit the header in the Quote form style.

Subscriptions Charged on Wrong Day
We have fixed an issue where editing and saving a subscription would shift the start date back by one day.

Sales Summary Report Not Calculating Margins Correctly
We fixed an issue where margins on returned items were not calculated correctly in the Sales Summary report.

Multiple Invoice Payments Allowing Over-Payment
We found an issue where making multiple invoice payments at once in the Register could result in over-payment on a single invoice. This allowed payments to exceed the total amount due, creating an unintended customer credit that was only visible after the invoice was completed. We have fixed this issue.

Product List Page Not Filtering Out Products With Zero Inventory
We have fixed an issue where filtering for in-stock products on the product list page, the results were including some out of stock products due to a rounding issue. 

Reward Points Missing After Customer Merge
We fixed an issue where reward points from both customer accounts were not combined when customers were merged.

Certain Locations Not Showing Price Info on Labels
We have resolved an issue where printing labels was not displaying a price. This was only happening in rare cases for certain locations, when the store had multiple locations and where inventory for the item was very low and some of the item conditions for that item were set to $0.00 prices.

Wrong Customer Modified Date
We fixed an issue where the Customer Modified date was incorrectly displaying as 12/31/1969.

Alternate Lookup Field on Edit Product Page Not Saving
We resolved an issue where adding text in the Alternate Lookup field on the Edit Product page was not saving. Text would only save if something else on the product page was edited.

Special Order Deposit Calculated Twice, Causing Negative Balance After Pickup
We have fixed an issue where there was a negative Remaining Balance after picking up a Special Order. The negative amount was caused by deposits being counted twice.

Purchase Order Page Stuck Loading
We fixed an issue where setting the desired stock level to 0 on a Purchase Order caused the page to enter an infinite load and then crash.

Incorrect Line Item Taxes in the Register
We improved Register calculation logic to fix incorrect line item tax amounts.

Work Orders Failing to Load
Fixed an issue where some work orders were not loading correctly.

Store Pickup Subscriptions Requiring Shipping
We improved the subscription order flow so Store Pickup subscriptions now use the store pickup process instead of requiring orders to be marked as shipped.

 

 

That's all for this week. Thank you for being part of the Rain family. Take care, we love you!!

System Updates 
January 11 - 17

 

New

Nothing New This Week 

 

Improved

Improved Shopify Refund Handling
We improved the logic used to process Shopify refunds for better accuracy and reliability.

Show Sale and Regular Prices on Orders
We have updated the Orders page to display both the regular Price and Sale Price for products customers purchased.

Web Checkout Phone Number Formatting Improved
We improved how phone numbers are formatted and handled during web checkout.

AIM eCom Integration Now Allows Product Dimensions to be Sent From AIM POS
AIM POS users who are integrated with RAIN can now send product dimensions directly from AIM for updates and creation (Height, Length, Width, and Weight).


Fixed

Colorado Retail Delivery Fee Not Syncing to QBO
We fixed an issue where the Colorado Retail Delivery Fee was not synching over to Quickbooks Online.

Serialized Inventory Deletion Has No Confirmation Message
We added a confirmation message when deleting serialized inventory from the Manage Serialized Inventory module. The message mentions system areas using the serial number, such as Purchase Orders, Receiving Orders, or other connected records. 

Work Orders Showing Location as 'Website'
There was an occasional issue where saving a Work Order assigned the location to Website, which then displayed the wrong location when the system sends out email updates. We've added validation so that the physical address of the Work Order is properly assigned.

Unable to Bulk Edit Departments Consecutively
We fixed an issue where bulk editing departments became disabled after one use and required a page refresh to function again.

Can't Complete Some Transactions Using Credit Card
We resolved an issue that could prevent card payments from completing during checkout. In rare cases—often after a page refresh, browser crash, or multiple register tabs—the system was incorrectly reusing a transaction identifier from a previous sale, which caused errors at completion or displayed a “ghost” card from an earlier customer (with $0.00 assigned). We fixed this by ensuring the transaction identifier is fully cleared when a transaction completes, so each new transaction always starts with a fresh, unique ID.

Blank Web Orders in Orders Module
We fixed an issue where blank web transactions were appearing on the Orders page.

Price on Manage Serialized Inventory Showing $0.00
We have fixed an issue where certain products on the Managed Serialized Inventory page were showing the Price as $0.00.

Shopify Refunding Products Incorrectly
We have fixed an issue where refunding one product variant in a Shopify order could incorrectly refund multiple variants of the same product.

Customers Getting Rewards Even If Setting Is Turned Off
We fixed an issue where if the global setting for Rewards was turned off, new customers reward eligibility was still being turned on in the Edit Customer page by default, when it should instead be off.

Shift Summary Report Tenders Calculating Incorrectly
In the Register under the Shift Summary Report, there was a field called Other Collected. The amount shown there was duplicating some fields and overstating some totals. This field was unnecessary and we removed it so that the totals are now correct.

Unpaid Invoices Showing as Paid
We fixed an issue where invoice payment links incorrectly showed invoices as fully paid when they were not.

Package Discounts Able to Be Added to Coupons
We have fixed an issue where Packages could be searched for and added during Coupon creation, even though packages in coupons are not supported. Packages are now hidden in coupon editing search results.

Payout Shift Report Duplicating Entries
We fixed an issue where saving and double-clicking the Confirm Amount button on a Shift Report was duplicating the amount you entered.

Free Shipping Web Order Using ShipStation Can't Be Fulfilled
We have fixed an issue where orders with free shipping could not be fulfilled because a ShipStation shipping method could not be selected or changed.

Manufacturer Sale Pricing Not Applying to All Eligible Items
We fixed an issue where some sale-price-eligible products were not displaying sale pricing after a manufacturer-based sale started. 

Tailored Lists Not Saving Added Products
We have fixed an issue that could cause certain items to temporarily disappear from tailored lists with Clientbook. We also added additional safeguards to improve data consistency and reliability.

Transaction Date Set to Prior Day When Manually Set
We fixed an issue where manually setting a transaction date was causing the timestamp to be saved as the previous day.

End of Day Sales Tax Not Matching Sales Tax Report
We've fixed an issue where there was a discrepancy between these two reports for Sales Tax Collected due to rounding.

End of Day Report Incorrectly Totaling Product Sales
We have partially fixed an issue where product sales totals were incorrect, causing a mismatch with Total Receipts in the Old EOD Report View. The issue was with Work Order deposits being counted toward Product Sales when they should not have been. We've fixed the Work Order deposits here, but we need to address other areas that use deposits separately. We will fix those other areas as soon as possible.

 

 

That's all for this week. Thank you for being part of the Rain family. Take care, we love you!!

Release Notes Through 2026-01-24

System Updates 
January 18 - 24

 

New

Nothing New This Week 

 

Improved

Work Order Customer Bulk Update
We've added a new Customer Search field in the Bulk Update Work Order window. The function is on the Work Orders list page on the right side under the Bulk Actions button. This new customer field allows you to search customers and update or reassign any selected Work Orders (multiple) to the customer.

Add / Edit Product Page Update
We slightly updated the look and behavior of switching between the new and old Add and Edit Product pages to remove the Beta labeling.


Fixed

Serial Number Duplicating After Trade-In
We fixed an issue where processing a trade-in for a serialized item could result in duplicate serial numbers on different items. 

Purchase Order Quantity Field Removing Decimal
Previously, if you didn't enter a Quantity fast enough into a Purchase Order, the system would auto-format and remove what you entered. We adjusted the interval so you will have enough time to enter your quantity normally.

Print Preview Missing Price Field on Custom Labels
We have fixed an issue where prices were not showing at all or were not showing correctly in the print preview for product labels.

Freight Amount Changes From $0 to Larger Amount in Receiving Order
We fixed an issue where entering $0 for the Freight amount in a Receiving Order would automatically change to the full freight amount from the original Purchase Order after saving or receiving.

Special Order Discounts Not Saving
We fixed an issue where discounts applied to a Special Order were not always being saved correctly.

Customer-Specific Items Not Being Removed From the Register When the Customer is Removed
Previously, if there was a customer-specific item in the Register, such as a layaway payment, if the customer was removed the item would stay. We have fixed this and now such items are removed from the Register with the customer.

Add to Group Button Missing for Services
We fixed an issue where the Add to Group button was missing from within each Edit Service window, preventing you from adding services to groups within the Services module.

Gift Card Payment Error
We have fixed an issue where an error appeared when using a gift card as a payment method in the Register.

Full List of Products Not Appearing In Newly Added Locations
This fixes an issue where only a small set of products were showing up under newly created store locations. Something was interrupting the process when creating the new location, so the full process of updating products wasn't executed. We've implemented measures to ensure these processes complete.

Adding the Blog Module to a Page Is Breaking the Web Tools Menu
We fixed an issue where if you added the Blog module to a page, the Web Tools drop-list would no longer function.

Sales by Item Report Won't Filter by Department or Vendor
We have fixed an issue where the Sales by Item report wasn't allowing you to filter by Department or Vendor and instead defaulted those filters back to All.

Label Fields Not Appearing When Printing in Bulk
When a large number of items were selected to print labels, there was an issue where some of the information for those labels was not appearing in the Print Preview. We have fixed this issue.

Remaining Balance of $0.00 Displayed on Unpaid Items in Quote
We've fixed an issue where Work Orders that were saved as Quotes were showing a $0.00 remaining balance in the Print Preview even if there was a remaining balance to be paid.

Can't Print Regular and Signature Copy Receipts
We fixed an issue where if the Receipts settings for Auto Print Receipt and Store Copy - Signature Only were both selected, only the regular thermal receipt was printing. Both pages will now print.

What if I need to set User Group permissions for an area of the system that isn't in the list?

While we have tried to cover all of the major areas of the system that would need user group permission, we realize there always something more that might be needed.

In our blue system bar, click on the House icon on the far left side to go to the system Home page. On the left side of the page, click the Suggest button, and a panel will open that will allow you to search for suggestions already in the system similar to what you're looking for, or if there isn't one in there yet, you can submit a new enhancement suggestion.

What is the best way to set up Member accounts?

We recommend that under Users > Members, you set up each of your Members with a username that is the email address you have for them, and set the password initially to 'changeme'. You can create a standard email to send to a new member after you have this set up for them, and in the email just tell them to use their email address as their username and that their temporary password is 'changeme', and that they'll be prompted to create their own password. If any of your members forget their password, just reset it to changeme and tell them to log in with that, and once again they'll be prompted to set it to what they want.

You just announced a new feature I want, how do I activate it?

We try to include activation information for all of our new features, but if you don't have that information, here is what you can do:

  • First, check to see if it's a Beta feature you can turn on: Click the Admin Button with your username in the upper right then go to Beta Features and if you find it in the list, enable it and be sure to click Save at the bottom.
  • Next, from the same Admin Button menu, go to Settings and look for the area of the system for which the new feature was developed. If the feature is activated by a setting, you will likely find it in a subtab of the major area.
  • If a feature you want is not in Beta and you cannot find it in Settings, please call us at 385-404-6200 and use option 2 for Support and one of our team members can work with you to see about getting the feature activated for you.
