Release Notes

Version 2.3

December 23, 2024

  1. FIX: If you use Bloom Commerce Theme settings to set the colors of the links and buttons, you may have noticed the Disabled Link and Primary Button Colors didn't work as expected. This is has been fixed.
  2. FIX: In certain configurations, we were seeing Pick Up memberships would display a shipping rate when batched through Bloom Commerce. Now all pick up orders will display a Pick up delivery option. 
  3. FIX: When changing Product Specifications, if you tried to remove the variants container settings, the updates wouldn't save. This has now been fixed so you can remove a products container settings after they have been saved.
  4. FIX: As part of our continuing work on performance improvements we've identified a few areas in our background processing that may get too backed up, when multiple large queues are trying to process at the same time. We've sorted those out and are hoping large jobs will process smoother and reliably update Shopify orders with the correct notes and tags. 

Version 2.2

December 9, 2024

  1. NEW: It is more common than you might think, that members don't pickup their orders. Bloom Commerce has a new setting that can require pick up members to enter a shipping address, allowing you the ability to ship the order to the provided address. This feature is now available when editing a membership, or when the member logs in and wants to change from a pick up to a shipping membership type. In the near future the required shipping address will be added to the Join Form and the POS. Also know this is a foundation for future features like a new POS Pick up interface, and bulk changing memberships from pick up to ship. You can find the setting in Bloom Commerce / Settings / Shipping. Let us know if you have questions or need help with setup.
  2. NEW: If you allow members to skip their upcoming shipment, there was a "Skip" link above the Upcoming Shipment details. Some of our customers didn't want this Skip link so prominent in the interface. Now, in Release Settings, you can check a box that will place the Skip shipment link below the Upcoming Shipment details. You will set this for each release, allowing you to decide where you want it placed on a per-release basis. 
  3. FIX: Non-alcohol products weren't syncing to ShipComplaint when using the Product Specifications feature. This has been fixed. 
  4. WORKING ON: As we wrap up the year, we're putting the final touches on our 2025 Roadmap, as well as tackling a few small performance improvements. We're looking forward to 2025!

Version 2.1

November 12, 2024

  1. UPDATED: When using the Connect with Members email, you'll see there are some new filters. Before, filtering by Status was the only option. The new filters include Fulfillment type, Group and Tagged with, allowing you to email very specific segments of members. 
  2. UPDATED: Pick up locations on subscription memberships have been updated. Before, the interface would only display locations where the subscription products were stocked. Now, all locations that allow pick up are listed providing a faster interface and more flexible options for admins. 
  3. UPDATED: If your shop doesn't have ShipCompliance integrated, the Orders feature in Bloom Commerce now won't display compliance data, or the ability to filter by compliance statuses. 
  4. FIX: Membership search would not return results when searching by email address, if the case of the search didn't match the case of the saved email address. Now the search will ignore the case of the email address, providing more expected search results. 
  5. FIX: When new members join using the Bloom Commerce embedded Join Form, the customers Date of Birth will be added to the Date of Birth customer metafield in Shopify. 

Version 2.0

October 29, 2024

We're pleased to announce that we've hit a major milestone releasing our second major version, Bloom Commerce 2.0. This includes all of the new and improved features that have been added since the 1.0 release in October 2022.  Some of those features you are likely already using include:

  • All Bloom Commerce theme features use the Embedded App functionality in the Shopify Customizer
  • Subscriptions have been fully revamped providing highly flexible plans and product pricing
  • Member discounts are now fully automatic in checkout and the POS
  • New dashboards for better visibility and access to core features
  • Orders can be uploaded in bulk and charged outside of Shopify for corporate orders
  • Product specifications have been rebuilt using Shopify Product Metafields
  • Many performance updates and UX improvements

Most important for new customers is that Bloom Commerce is now available on the Shopify app store making the app easier for the world to discover.

Here are the latest updates and additions: 

  1. UPDATED: Both the new Product Bundles and Subscription Selling Plan interfaces could get "squished" making the form fields too small to see the values entered into them. These interfaces have been widened so values will always appear on any screen size. 
  2. UPDATED: When a member logs into Shopify to view their upcoming club shipment the product prices and total appear in the product selections table. The total used to read "Grand total". It now reads" Subtotal" so it doesn't imply shipping and taxes are included in the price displayed. 
  3. FIX: When adding your own custom Product metafields to Shopify we learned that if those custom fields share the same name as the metafields created by the Bloom Commerce app, then there can be conflicts. Those conflicts have been resolved. 
  4. FIX: Weight-based shipping rates setup in Shopify were not being calculated correctly when using the Corporate orders feature in Bloom Commerce. These shipping rates now work as expected. 
  5. FIX: We have identified a couple slow database queries, specific to processing customer webhooks. Those queries have been optimized, resulting in faster webhook processing.
