I know this has been one feature we have received a ton of requests for - edit and existing product. The wait is over, let the editing begin. Temple announced the arrival of product editing in the forums today, here are the details:

Today we released a new feature in the Shop Admin for your products. You can now edit an existing product or clone a product! Products can be altered for your shop or the Marketplace independently or both at the same time.

Editing a product to for replacement:

If you edit your product in the ?Product Overview? screen, it will be altered in both your shop and within the Marketplace (assuming that your product has been opened in both areas).

Here?s how it works:: Your original product is deleted and replaced by the new product (e.g. with a new color or alternate design). The editable attributes given to the old product (i.e. the commission rate, product name, etc) are automatically transferred to the new product. The product will get moved to the top of the ?Product Overview? list the same as every new product.

Editing a product to create a new version:

Please remember this will change your product in all areas. If you would prefer to change the product in just one of the selling areas (i.e. in your shop OR the marketplace) then simply use the small blue ?My Products? drop-down menu to the top left of the product overview screen and select either your shop or the marketplace.

If you want create new version of a pre-existing product WITHOUT deleting the original, then click on the ‘Clone Product’ option. A copy of the product will be provided which you can then change according to your desires. Great for creating the same design layout on different products, colors, etc!

Let me know if you have any questions!

Each month our amazing customer service specialist, Temple, shares her top tips for improving your shop. Click here to see past tips from Temple.

First, let’s discuss Colors! Choosing a color scheme can be a difficult task, but there are tools to make it a bit easier! Under Shops > Shop Layout > Colors and Fonts, you can choose from our predesigned color scheme or create your own with hex codes. One cool tool, the Color Combo Library , provides different palettes of colors that are complimentary. If you have a favorite hex code, then enter it and find a palette to fit your style! Another site, Color Match, allows you to choose from complimentary colors, analogic, and other choices to find your shop color scheme!
FireFox offers ColorZilla which is a browser add-on and provides the hex code to any color you select on your screen.

In the newsletter, Temple, our Shop Specialist shares a tip to improve your shop. This month’s announcement! Direct Deposit is now available for payments. Your money can be sent directly to your bank account.

We implemented a Direct Deposit feature for US partners to receive their commission! Only partners with US banking information can use Direct Deposit at this time. PayPal is still offered for all partners, but if you would like another option, then you can start collecting through Direct Deposit. Enter your details under Profile - User Account - Financial Administration.

Some important things:
Must be a Checking Account, as savings accounts can not be used.
Entering your Banking Information will remove your PayPal information, so you can only fill out one of the payment options. Which ever option is filled out at the time of payout will be where the commissions are transferred to.

International partners would have to use PayPal, unless you have a Checking Account in the US.

Routing number is generally 9 digits. Both the Routing and Account number can be found on the bottom of your checks. The Routing number is generally the first number and the Account number the second set of numbers. Some banks do list the check number on the bottom, as well. If you have any doubts or questions, then double check with your bank to make sure.

Payments are processed through ACH (Automated Clearing House), also known as EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer), which is just an electronic way for us to transfer your earnings!

Cool new option for those who wanted a choice with how they collect their money! No fees apply, so if you do get fees with PayPal, then switching to Direct Deposit will avoid these fees!

Have a Happy New Year!
