    Improved backboard color UX

    A new setting has been added to move the backboard color selection inline with the chosen backboard. This change is more intuitive for your customers as they are prompted to choose the colour immediately after selecting their desired backboard.

    When the backboard is not selected the colors and materials show as previews inline:

    Once the customer selects the backboard they are able to switch between the different options:

    WordPress Order Syncing

    We are excited to announce a major update to our Sign Customiser WordPress plugin, bringing a highly requested feature to the table: WooCommerce Order Sync! This powerful new capability allows you to seamlessly connect your WooCommerce store with your Sign Customiser account, making it easier than ever to manage your sign orders.

    What’s New?

    With this update, the plugin will now automatically sync your WooCommerce orders to our system the moment a new order is placed. Along with the sync, manufacturer emails are instantly sent out containing all the critical sign details, ensuring that your production process is streamlined from the get-go.

    Why :

    1. Hands-Off Order Management: No more manual copy-pasting of order information. Our plugin now automatically transfers all order details, saving you time and reducing errors.
    2. Instant Manufacturer Notifications: Your production partners will receive all the sign details they need as soon as a customer places an order, reducing delays and ensuring quicker turnaround times.
    3. Seamless Integration: Fully integrated with WooCommerce, this feature makes managing your sign orders a breeze, allowing you to focus more on growing your business and less on administrative tasks.

    Get Started

    Make sure to update your WordPress plugin to the latest version via the WordPress admin panel.

    CSS support for universal app customisers

    This update now makes it possible for universal app customisers to have support for custom CSS.

    You can now edit the CSS of your customiser while you are previewing it in our admin application.

    Previously, CSS could only be applied by editing the shopify theme itself, which made it impossible for universal app customisers to applly custom css.

    This feature makes it even easier to have your customiser match your brand and style.
