Winter has arrived in the southern hemisphere and we hope you are staying warm and cosy. Here are some of the smaller updates we made to Upstock this month:

• There's now a badge on the What's new button to show you when a new article is live (personally my favourite update!) 🎉
• Improvements in Reporting - you can now export more lines of data.
• We've improved the in-app warning banners so they are more noticeable.

If you have questions about any of these, just chat to us and we'll get you sorted!

If you use standing orders, you may have occasionally missed when a customer updated one — but not anymore!

We’ve added a new notification to alert you whenever a customer edits a standing order. You'll see it in your Notification settings, found by clicking your name at the bottom of the menu.

Once your products are categorised, you can create feature categories - these are specific groupings of your products that you wish to highlight to your customers.

Feature categories are shown at the top of your Upstock listing, so when your customers are looking at your product list, those categories are a quick way for them to navigate - this is particularly helpful when you have a large product list.

Go to Products > Featured to get started.

Hello! Here are some of the small changes we released this month:

• Woolworths - we now support price changes for orders! If you accept POC's with price changes, the order will be modified and the changes will be audited.
• Woolworths and Foodstuffs e-invoices now have a document attached to the order, and a notification on the timeline to link to it.
• Clickable customers in the price list - click a customer here and you'll be taken to their profile page.

If you have questions about any of these, just chat to us and we'll get you sorted!

We have released a new delivery report, to make your deliveries easier to manage.

The Delivery run report shows all the orders, arranged by customer and then by product. This report can be printed directly, downloaded as a PDF, or exported as a CSV, and is available from either the Orders Export report, or the Orders list.

All the relevant delivery information for each customer can be displayed, to make planning delivery easier. This report is particularly useful when used with Fulfilment groups.

Using product categories is a great way to organise and promote your products, but manually categorising them can feel like a big task.

So, we have the Auto categorise button at the top of your products list to do that for you!

Clicking this button will:

• Only auto-categorise products that aren't already categorised - it won't overwrite any existing categories.
• Choose a relevant category for the uncategorised product/s - it's pretty smart!

You can see which products have recently been auto-categorised by clicking the "Updated" heading at the top of the table to sort by the recently-updated ones.

That way you can quickly scan through and make sure the auto-categorisation is 100% correct for your company's products. If not, it's easy to change.

When creating or editing one-off or standing orders, you can now include out of stock products - handy if you know they’ll be back soon.

Things won't change for your customers - they won't be able to add out of stock products themselves; and the "out of stock" warning will still show.

We've recently released an update to improve how your customers can manage their saved cards in Upstock!

• They can now see which suppliers they've shared cards with, and add and remove suppliers more easily.
• They can do this at any time, so it doesn't have to be done as part of an order.

This is great news for you, as it means buyers can self-manage their card setup, which leads to fewer failed payments - especially important if you're using standing orders + payments!

You can send them this link which will take them straight to the Settings > Payment methods page where they can set this up.

You can learn more about managing failed payments in this article.

Great news! If your products in Unleashed include notes, we now automatically pull them through to populate the product descriptions in Upstock — but only for products that don’t already have a description in Upstock.

This feature is enabled for all new Unleashed integrations starting April 2025. If you’re using an earlier connection, simply reach out to our team, and we’ll get it activated for you.

If you use Payments you'll be stoked to learn that you can now download a CSV of your Payout Summary!

Go to Reports > Payouts report > View > click on a report > Export to get started.
