Here\u2019s a list of all the new features we bring to you.\u00a0<b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>1. Onboarding made easy<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>DisConnect has evolved over time and now brings a lot of advanced features that might overwhelm new users who are looking to sync between Discogs &amp; another channel.\u00a0 To address that, we\u2019ve completely optimized our onboarding to make it possible with the least possible steps for our new users.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22525&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22526&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]Onboarding can also be skipped if a user wants to set up disconnect using all the advanced features. If you\u2019re new to DisConnect, feel free to check out more on DisConnect <a href=\"https:\/\/constacloud.com\/disconnect\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>2. Quickly find your synced products<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Getting your products synced from Discogs to another channel or vice versa was made easy with DisConnect. Finding them on the target channel however was tough without direct links for users to quickly navigate from DisConnect and view their synced products.<\/p>\n<p>DisConnect has now added links to synced products in the Product Details section. Simply click the name of the channel, you will be redirected to the synced product on the selected channel.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22527&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>3. Squareup Point of Sale Integration<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Adding new channels to expand our reach by making lives easier for various music enthusiasts has always been our priority. This time, we\u2019ve integrated with the Squareup POS.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22528&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]With DisConnect\u2019s Square POS, sellers now have the option to completely automate the sync of their Discogs Listings to Square POS or the other way around. To learn more, check out our SquareUp guides here.

Shipment Integrations &#8211; Shipping Easy<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to Royal Mail &amp; ShipStation, we now also support Integration with ShippingEasy. This means you can now sync your orders from Discogs\u00a0 directly to your Shipment Platform with all the relevant information directly. We also send a fulfillment message back to your customers with information like the tracking number &amp; the tracking URL.<b><\/b>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22538&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>5. WooCommerce &#8211; Weight Mapping &amp; Metadata Mapping<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In our WooCommerce Integration, we\u2019ve now added a couple of more features to make your selling experience better.<\/p>\n<p>With our weight mapping found in the channel settings page, sellers can now enter custom weights for specific formats instead of picking them up from Discogs. This is due to the fact that certain sellers find weights on Discogs inaccurate &amp; prefer to use their own custom defined weights.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22530&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]The next feature I would like to bring to your attention is Metadata mapping. WooCommerce supports various 3rd party plugins which users can link to their website. While 3rd party plugins have various uses, there are plugins that are used to create \u201ccustom fields\u201d in their WooCommerce.<\/p>\n<p>When a music seller creates a product on Discogs, there are several fields that hold data relevant to the record\/collection. On Discogs, besides the publicly visible fields there are fields like Private Comments (External ID) &amp; Item Location are fields that are visible only to the sellers &amp; not the customers. Metadata mapping enables you to sync these fields or any other shortcode to your custom fields created with your 3rd party plugins.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22531&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>6. WooCommerce &#8211; Product Status<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>DisConnect now gives you the feasibility to mark your products as Draft (So that customers don\u2019t see it when it goes out of stock) or leave it as Out of Stock on your website, so customers can see it &amp; request you for a re-stock so they can order the product.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22532&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]This feature was previously there only for Shopify channel in DisConnect but we have now added it to WooCommerce as well.<b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>7. Shopify &#8211; Cost per item<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Certain Sellers on Discogs have their wholesale price or any other reference prices in their Discogs private fields like comments or item location. Pricing relevant (Numerical) data can now be synced over to the Cost Per Item field in Shopify using the respective shortcodes.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22533&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>8. Export Frequency Control<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Discogs export frequency is a feature that DisConnect uses in the past to ensure specific product details are updated completely. As it was too frequent, we now allow users to select a time to export their data. By default we will leave at 6 hours once but you\u2019re free to change it your liking. Should DisConnect feel it\u2019s mandatory to run it, we will trigger an automated export from our end to keep your data in perfect sync.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22534&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]Also, in the future, we are working a method to completely do it without creating any notifications.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]DisConnect brings in a lot of new updates to make your selling experience better this April 2021.
