We’re pleased to announce the May 2025 product update to our delivery management software, featuring powerful new capabilities and key improvements to help streamline your operations and enhance your overall experience. This release brings several new features and key enhancements:
1. New WooDelivery Shopify App
We’re excited to announce the launch of the official WooDelivery Shopify App, now available on the Shopify App Store. This new app makes it easier than ever for merchants to integrate their Shopify store with the WooDelivery platform. With just a few clicks, merchants can install the app directly from the store and set up the connection by entering their API key. The app also offers flexible syncing options, and merchants can choose to sync only orders with specific shipping methods, giving them greater control over which orders are sent to WooDelivery.
For those currently using the old Shopify Webhook integration, rest assured that it will continue to function as usual with no decommission plans at this time. We recommend switching to the new Shopify App to take advantage of its improved setup process, more granular control, and future feature enhancements. Simply remove the old webhook integration from your store and install the new app for a smoother and more powerful experience.
2. Vehicle Self-Assignment
We’re happy to introduce the new Vehicle Self-Assignment feature in our Vehicle Management module. This enhancement empowers drivers to assign vehicles to themselves directly from the driver app, offering greater flexibility and reducing reliance on dispatcher involvement. Previously, vehicle assignments required a dispatcher to manually schedule or provide a QR code for drivers to scan—an extra step that could slow things down, especially for small or fast-moving teams.
With this update, administrators can enable the Self-Assignment option in the vehicle settings. Once activated, drivers will be able to view a list of available vehicles on the driver app and assign one to themselves for a specified time period set by the administrator. This streamlined approach simplifies vehicle access and makes it easier for teams to manage fleet operations on the go.
3. Enhanced User Account Management
Managing user accounts just got more transparent. Administrators can now enter a reason or message when blocking or deleting driver or merchant accounts. If a reason is provided, the affected user will automatically receive an email notification detailing the change and the reason behind it or message from their administrators.
This enhancement helps reduce confusion and ensures better communication with users when account access is modified. It’s a valuable update for teams looking to maintain clarity and professionalism in their account management processes.
4. Improved Bulk Upload with Duplicate Check
We’ve added a powerful new duplicate check feature to the bulk upload process for contacts and products. When uploading data, you now have the option to detect existing records in the system and choose whether to create new entries or update the existing ones with the latest values.
This enhancement helps prevent duplicate contacts or products from being created in your account, ensuring your data remains accurate and organized. It’s a simple but effective way to maintain clean and consistent records during high-volume uploads.
