Scan to Ship Changelog

New features:

• A "Scan History" overlay can be opened from the scan page showing all barcodes scanned, including match status, so far for the current order.
• When an erroneous barcode is scanned, the scanned barcode now remains on screen for easier diagnosis.

Improvements:

• UPC-A and EAN-13 barcode interoperability has been improved. Many barcode readers convert EAN-13 barcodes back to a 12 digit North American UPC-A barcode when possible. Scan to Ship will now match those scanned barcodes either a UPC-A or EAN-13 barcode stored in your Shopify account.
• Standard barcode label format has been updated to additionally support 2 inch wide labels.
• Missing or incorrect barcodes can now be fixed directly from the scan order page, without leaving the page. Use the "Edit Barcode" option from the line item options drop-down.
• The orders page is now quicker for users with subscription orders in a "Scheduled" fulfillment state.
• The displayed number of pending orders is more accurate for shops with a large (>100) number of pending orders.

Bug fixes:

• Long feedback and error messages are no longer truncated on Shopify mobile app.
• Fixed issue when searching for product titles containing a "%" character.

• You can now use Scan to Ship to manage warehouse storage locations for your products, either by uploading multiple locations with a spreadsheet file or by adding locations manually from the Storage Locations page. Learn more about storage locations in our online guide.

  

• Progress when scanning an order is now saved as you go. Return to the same order within 30 minutes to continue scanning where you left off. This allows the necessary edits to be made to complex orders without restarting the scanning process from scratch.
• Background changes to order content are now updated automatically on Scan to Ship order or scan pages.

• Payment terms present on an order are now displayed in Scan to Ship.
• Orders with payment terms are now automatically started and are fulfillable as part of the standard workflow.
• Settings relating to orders with payment terms have been added to the "Order Queue" settings page.

• It is now possible to enter tracking numbers at scanning/fulfilment time.
• A display name can be set for each Shopify user which will show on activity data within Scan to Ship. To set a name for the current user, navigate to Settings -> User Preferences within Scan to Ship.
• The user that created the fulfillment is displayed next to existing fulfillments (for fulfillments created with Scan to Ship).

• Manual quantity entry is now possible for orders quantities of more than 10 of the same product. After scanning a single item, an edit quantity button will be made available.
• Bug fix: Alphanumeric barcodes (for example a Code39 SKU barcode) containing spaces are now read correctly.

• An option has been added to include orders with Cash on Delivery (Shopify calls this "Due on Fulfillment") payment terms to be included in the standard order-by-order workflow. This option can be enabled from the Order Queue settings page.
• Order payment terms are now displayed within Scan to Ship.
• A setting labelled "Allow scanning of any unpaid order" has been added that, if turned on, will add a "Start anyway..." button to all unstarted, unpaid order pages, regardless of the order's payment terms. This option will not affect the order-by-order workflow.

• It's now possible to tag your scanned orders rather than create a fulfilment. A “packed” tag is added to correctly scanned orders and you can find and process those orders as you wish through the Shopify admin. You’ll find the option to tag your order (instead of fulfil) on the order scanning page.

• Order notes are now editable inline. You won't lose any existing scans when you need to make a quick note on an order.
• Unpaid for orders are now shown in the orders list (but still excluded from the automatic shipping workflow). This avoids confusion when getting started with Scan to Ship. You can turn off this behaviour and hide all unpaid orders from your Settings page.
• Bug fix: Fixed a bug that prevented the built-in barcode scanner opening when using Scan to Ship through the Shopify Android mobile app.

• Customer notification settings added. A checkbox has been added to the fulfil order page to allow you to control customer notification of shipment (usually via email). A global default can be set from the Settings page.

• A general setting has been added to treat SKUs as scannable barcodes during fulfilment.

  The SKU field value of Shopify product variants can now be treated as an additional barcode for the purpose of fufillment scanning. To enable this, make sure the "Treat SKUs as scannable barcodes" checkbox is checked on your Scan to Ship settings page.

• Both the number of started and unstarted order counts are now shown in the location selection drop-down, making is easier to see the full state of pending order queues.

• Bug fix: Order search now works when searching on customer name.
• Bug fix: Fixed a issue affecting the "Unstart & Start Next" button.
• Unpaid or part-paid orders are more clearly marked as unshippable and these orders are better protected from accidental processing with Scan to Ship.
• A helpful notification is shown when the user scans a barcode but is viewing an "unstarted" order.

• The graphical feedback when barcode scanning has been improved to make it easier to see what barcode was scanned and when. The visual feedback of "over-scanned" items has also been improved.
• We have improved the user experience when using the "Fulfil with Scan to Ship" action from the Shopify admin area on orders that are fulfilled, unpaid, or otherwise unfulfillable.
