Here are the lovely little things we worked on in December and January:

• Navigation improvements - a few tweaks to free up space in the menu list
• Onboarding new users - we've added more support for your new Team members when they first log in.
• Suppliers can now scan the QR code on a packing slip to open the order - previously this was only available to buyers.
• The supplier order date picker now shows the customer’s Fulfilment group delivery days; non-delivery days are greyed out but still selectable.
• Selection totals are now shown when working across multiple pages. E.g. "3 of 120 items selected".

Our first release of 2026 adds delivery date tracking to the Timeline — any changes are now recorded so you can see what changed and when, and support customers faster.

From all of us here at Upstock, we would like to wish you Merry Christmas and a happy 2026!

Our wonderful Customer Success team will be working over the Christmas holidays, but if it takes us a little bit longer to reply, please be patient with us :)

We have had another huge year, so, along with the dozens of small improvements we made, here are our greatest hits for 2025:

• February: Daily payouts for your Payments.
• March: Pause and restart Standing orders.
• April: New Shopping cart.
• May: New Delivery run report; and buyers can manage supplier access to payment cards.

• November: Limited roles for supplier accounts.

The earlier you can get your ordering sorted for the Christmas break the better:

• Add your close-down dates to your Order notes so buyers see them right away.
• Post the same details in Newsfeeds — and post more than once so no one misses it.
• Put any standing orders on hold. You can pause them individually, or ask us to bulk-pause them for you.
• Update your details everywhere else your customers look: your website, email signature, and social channels.
• And don't forget to use the new Seasonal product promotion category!

Here are two of the smaller tweaks we've made this month:

• Buyers have more ways to reorder from existing orders - look for the Reorder button on the Orders list and on any individual order page.
• Improvements to how we handle timezones.

Christmas is nearly here, so now’s the time to get your holiday ordering sorted. A few quick steps will save you headaches later:

We’ve introduced three new limited roles for suppliers.

You can now give each team member access to any combination of:

• Order management – place, manage, and fulfil orders.
• Newsfeeds – create and edit Newsfeeds posts.
• Buyer access – for businesses that are set up as both buyers and suppliers on Upstock. These users can place orders on the buyer side, but they won’t be able to access the supplier account.

Go to your Team menu to update roles for existing staff and invite new team members with the right permissions from the start

Note: Always invite each team member with their own email. Shared logins can cause issues with roles, auditing, and when someone leaves the company.

We've introduced extra options for promoting your products. You can now choose from the following:

• Featured
• Staff Pick
• Top Seller
• Special
• Seasonal

Additionally, the 5 product limit has been removed, so you can promote as many products as you'd like!

Connecting your Business Central account allows orders to flow from your customers in Upstock into Business Central, saving you having to manually enter them.

It also lets you import your existing products and contacts, making it a breeze to get up and running on Upstock 🏃🏽‍♀️

Chat with the team to get you set up with early access to Business Central, or click the button below to learn more about our newest integration.

We’re releasing an Activity feed so you can see everything that’s happening in your business at a glance — from order issues and comments to cancelled orders and bounced invoices.

It works like an inbox for your notifications, keeping items visible until you’ve dealt with them and letting you click straight through to the relevant order.
