New features coming soon thanks to Bonanza Up!

New features coming soon thanks to Bonanza Up!

It was an incredible weekend in Las Vegas!

So many highlights - where to begin? I really enjoyed meeting the fantastic people in the merchant community - what a great group! I also learned a ton watching the various presentations. Thank you to the attendees and our illustrious guest speakers. And, of course, a major tip of the hat to Judy and Phaedra for pulling everything together.

I’m writing this post to tell you about some of the feature requests we took from the crowd and demonstrated at the conclusion of Saturday’s session. The features aren’t live yet, but will be very soon. The items are pretty simple as they had to be done over the weekend, but given that they were direct merchant requests I’m pretty confident you’ll like them. So, without further ado, here are some of the nice nips, tucks, and tweaks pulled off by our dynamic programming duo Ryan Hicks and Jordan Phillips, and, of course, our stellar designer with the unusually long name - Christopher! 

Six thumbnails – those of you who attended this week heard a few times about the importance of having multiple images per product. And now your sixth image will show on the detail page by default –and not be ‘hidden’ in the pop-up.

Tag management – apparently the tag admin page was getting a little hard to manage for those of you with lots of items. Soon you’ll be able to filter to only show items with tags that are pending approval. 

 

Offer show page – there are a few conveniences that have been added to the ‘offer show page.’ First, all PayPal numbers are now linked to their PayPal transaction screens. Second, all tracking numbers are also linked to their respective tracking sites.

 

 

More offer show page: Additionally, there is now a checkbox on the sort and filter area that lets you easily find only items that have not yet shipped.

  

 

Forum search: In the forums you can now you search on most and least recent posts.

 

Batch editor: In the batch editor you will soon be able to apply changes to all selected items or simply all items. 

Bonanza Announcements will now only show if there actually are new announcements on the My Bonanza page. Why clutter the page if it’s not needed? 

Additionally, the ‘My Hand-Picked-List’ page has been cleaned up to make it easier to manage. And, last but not least, there’s a new badge coming up that’s Bonanza Up-related. Keep an eye out for it soon.  Thanks to everyone for your great suggestions! 

We should have these up and on the site in the next day or so. 

- The Bonanza Team

Looking forward to seeing these live.

Wasn’t there some talk about resetting the counter for tag at midnight rather than replacing them 24 hours after they were used?

Alex, Thank You very much for these Updates; looking forward to trying them out. I’m glad you all had a fun and eventful weekend!

I’m a little confused re: “Batch Edit: Here’s where you can change or delete your items en masse…”.
I always thought we could do that all along (providing each box next to the item was selected). Am I missing something?

Also, what the heck is my Vampire doing peering from that Screenshot? (it gave me quite a start and a HUGE chuckle)

These all sound like great additions. Looking forward to them.

Bonanza is the BESTEST!

Thank you for listening! Now, don’t forget the other 30 or so requests.

These are great Alex…
I have a question. Having 28 pages of product to work with in the batch editor, My question relates to the act of Apply to All Items Does this mean all items on the page or all items in active inventory? I am hoping it is All items in inventory. It would be nice not to have to go from page to page to page.

One more question…Is it possible for quantity available to be shown in the pop up a buyer see’s on the booth page? A customer of mine actually mentioned this when she was trying to find styles that had a certain quantity available for a wedding. This would really help those of us who carry products with inventories of More than One.

Great updates – and still more great suggestions!

This is a process as opposed to an endpoint – and I like what I’m seeing!

Cheers!

@Abby yes that’s one of the one I spoke to Jordan about and they did change it. As Alex said the changes aren’t live just yet but will be soon.

BookbinEtc says: 06/06/11 at 11:24:33

Thanks for the info Alex.

When you are changing the tracking info to be linked, could you also add Canada Post in the shipping choices?

Even if you couldn’t link to their tracking, it would save ALL Canadian sellers time, typing in Canada Post every single time, for shipping info.

While you’re at it, can you add Canada Post as a shipping choice in the item listing? We all use it, regardless of where our parcels are headed. And, the only option we currently have, when listing, is ‘unspecified shipping type’. That doesn’t inspire confidence in a buyer who wants to click and run, if there are certain types of shippers they don’t like or use, i.e., can’t get courier delivery at their place.

Thank you!

Great! Thank you!!

alexwberg says: 06/06/11 at 12:00:12

@ chill02wolfart – you could do it, but we heard our old method for impacting all items wasn’t intuitive. So we made it, hopefully, more obvious.

And @momspennies it does impact ALL items and not just those on the page.

chill02wolfart says: 06/06/11 at 12:11:49

Thank you, Alex!
And BOO!

momspennies says: 06/06/11 at 12:17:53

Alex (or anyone from Support), I tried the New Forum Search today, but was confused about a few things. There is no hurry whatsoever, for your answer. At your leisure, I would appreciate it if you could address my questions (from this Thread; it appears another Member had the same issues). Thank you very much in advance.

@chill02wolfart – I sent your inquiry to Mr. Mark Dorsey. ; )

chill02wolfart says: 06/08/11 at 12:56:30

Thank You, Alex. Mark responded on the above Forum Thread, and said he will come back with an Update once things have been fine-tuned.

Added Note: Mark Responded in the Thread. Man, you guys are lightning fast; Thank you so much!
