Automatic Email Sending for Order Placement

You can now set up automatic email sending for your customers as soon as they place an order on your website. This can be done in one of two ways: by integrating with SendGrid or by sending emails directly through Weblium (useful if you don’t have a SendGrid account).

The control panel for automatic emails is located under the "Client emails" tab, which can be found in the store settings (directly in the "Settings" section).

To connect the SendGrid integration, you need to provide an API key generated on the SendGrid side, as well as the email address from which the emails will be sent. To send emails directly through Weblium, you only need to specify the sender’s email.

We have pre-prepared a standard email template with order details, but you can easily make any changes, such as adding your contact information or modifying variables, a list of which you will find during the email editing process.

Once you have activated email sending and made all the desired changes to the email content, you can test its functionality — simply click the "Send test email" button located at the bottom of the integration settings, and we will send an email to the address you use for Weblium authorization.

A more detailed guide on setting up, customizing, and testing trigger emails can be found in our Help Center.

Update to Drop-down Menu Style Settings

You can now customize the appearance of drop-down menus more flexibly. We've added a "Drop-down Menu Styles" section to the "Style" tab in the "Menu" element settings, allowing you to adjust the background color and the color of submenu items.

Additionally, when you open the "Menu" element settings, the drop-down menu will automatically expand with the first item in the list, so you can immediately see the changes you make in the "Drop-down Menu Styles" section.

For more details on how to work with the "Menu" element, please refer to our Help Center.

Setting and Looping the Period in the "Countdown" Element

We have added a "Period" tab to the settings of the "Countdown" element, where you can specify the start and end date and time for the countdown. Additionally, in the "Action after countdown ends" section, you can enable automatic countdown continuation by turning on the switch next to the "Loop countdown" option.

Changing the Status and Availability of Products on the "Products" Page

We have added a small improvement that will allow you to change the status or availability of a product directly on the "Products" page in your store settings, without needing to go into the settings of each individual product. The "Status" and "Inventory" columns now contain drop-down lists with all possible options, which you can apply in just a few clicks. This will help you manage your products more efficiently and keep your store's inventory up to date.

Changing the focus point on different devices in the “Image” element

We have added the ability to change the focus point in the “Image” element on different devices. This will allow you to customize the area of the image displayed on different devices. This is useful if, for example, you need to display the central part of the image on the computer version of the site and the left or right part on the mobile version.

Furthermore, we have adapted the select area of the focus point, and now it looks appropriate for mobile devices.

Now, it's even easier to adapt websites!

Promo Code Updates: Expiration Date and Minimum Order Amount

We have introduced several updates to the promo code functionality to give you more flexibility in managing your marketing campaigns.

First, you can now set an expiration date for a promo code, after which it will automatically deactivate (users will not be able to apply it to their orders). Additionally, you can create a scheduled promo code with a specified activation period. It will automatically activate on the date you set and deactivate after the specified period.

These settings are available in the "Additional Settings" section of each promo code, which can be found in your store's "Promo codes" settings page.

Second, you can now define a minimum order amount required to apply a specific promo code. This can be done in the "Applies to orders from" field in the "Discount" section of each promo code's settings.

You can also customize the message displayed in the cart when a user attempts to apply a promo code to an order that does not meet the minimum amount. This can be edited in the "Error message for minimum order amount to apply the promo code" field, located in the "Multilingual site" settings page, under the "Your Store" tab.

Improvements to the "Shipping cost" field in the "Shipment" settings

We have changed the design of the “Shipping cost” field, allowing you to choose from multiple options: “Fixed price,” “Hide the price,” and “Custom price.” The fixed price will be added to the order summary, while the custom price allows you to display individual text. This update allows you to select the most convenient methods of calculating the shipping price, which will improve the interaction with clients. Store management became even more comfortable. 

CSV Orders file updates

We have changed the structure of the CSV Orders file, which is downloaded to your PC when exporting order data. The file is now more user-friendly — the updated structure allows you to more flexibly use formulas, filters, and analyze data.

What's changed:

  • Removed columns: user_id, type, sku, description, product_code.
  • Added columns: promo_code and discount_amount, which indicate the promo code used and the discount it provided.
  • Added column: amount — this is the total amount paid (or to be paid) by the customer, including all promo codes and shipping costs.
  • Changed the logic of row formation — now one row represents the entire order (previously, one row in the table displayed data for only one item, which often made it difficult to understand which order the item belonged to).
