This month we’ve launched a swathe of new ecommerce controls, right in the Dashboard of your store. As Rocketspark evolves into a more powerful Ecommerce Software suite, more control and flexibility is put in the hands of store owners to increase sales and store management efficiency. The thing we’ve learnt is that every store is different and there’s no one-size-fits-all—sometimes things need to be different between stores. Over the years we have offered Ecommerce customisations that need to be configured by the Rocketspark team but we’ve grouped all of those customisations into one update where we’ve moved them all into the hands of store owners.

Add sub-regions for shipping
Sometimes splitting regions by country simply isn’t enough. Maybe you offer discounted or express shipping within a city but the rest of the country is a different shipping rate. Maybe you want to offer rural delivery pricing. Maybe you want to price shipping by state or some other region break-down. Now you can set up sub-regions of a country and specify shipping rates for each of those regions. The region is selected by the buyer right at the start of the checkout so this will show them what their shipping price is going to be based on their location.
Always looking for ways to streamline
These new features will make it faster for you to customise your site but will also take some pressure off our support team so they can get onto your other questions faster. If you have any other customisations you’d like to see or repetitive tasks that could be streamlined, we’d love to hear about it.
