The current (and default) style is to show billing, shipping, and payment options on one page. The new style will split up each section, like billing address, shipping address, and payment, into multiple pages. Dealers can choose whether to use multiple pages, or one page checkout by clicking on "Settings" -&gt; "Site Preferences" from the Admin menu.<br /><br />* The shopping cart can now be populated by using a REST API. This API allows you to add multiple items to your cart with one link, from info pages, or any other website that you might have. Documentation can be found on the <a href="http://support.splashcart.com/entries/119587-checkout-api">SplashCart Support site</a>.<br /><br />* A product may now be flagged as a "digital delivery". When only a product flagged as "digital delivery" is ordered no shipping information will be required to complete the sale. This allows dealers to sell things like PDF documents, movies, music, and other software without charging a shipping fee.<br /><br />* Added a list of orphaned categories to the bottom of the Category list page. This list, shown only to administrators, let's you see which categories will not show up in your catalog. This is usually due to incorrectly entered items and can be fixed by ensuring that the orphaned category has a correct parent category.<br /><br />* Promotion codes my now be entered by a customer during checkout. This code will be saved with the order and can be seen by administrators when reviewing an order. This is great for tracking sales people or promotions.</p> 2010-02-26T12:24:16-08:00 features updates 103427 31 119601 false false true true 0 Ian Neubert 7063877 2010-02-26T19:39:20-08:00 <p>We have just pushed an update that changes the way we contact UPS to calculate your shipping costs. Previously we required that each subscriber of SplashCart have a UPS API key and password in order to calculate shipping costs. This update removes that requirement.</p> <p><strong>Now you only need to enter your origin shipping zip code in order to calculate shipping costs.</strong></p> <p>You can set your origin zip code by logging into your site, and clicking on "Shipping" under the "Site Settings" menu in the admin bar.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Please email us at support@splashcart.com if you have any questions.</p> 2010-02-05T17:21:13-08:00 updates 103427 20 108561 false false true true 0 Ian Neubert 7063877 2010-02-05T17:21:13-08:00 <p>We have released a new module too all our current subscribers today.
