Changelog

​

Notifications and communications preferences

• Store managers now receive in-app notifications for store activity (for example product updates, partnership requests, and billing alerts).
• More granular control over which emails you receive from Replic. Preferences are grouped into:
  • Account: store partnerships, product updates (resellers only), billing notifications, and onboarding emails
  • Replic updates: product news, stores highlights, and company news
• Billing notifications and company news are always enabled. Other categories can be opted in or out.
• Product archive and update events now create one in-app notification per pattern, with clearer messages and links to the affected product.

​

Download pages

• Customers with multiple products in one order will now see all products displayed in one download page instead of one download page per product.
• Large product downloads (many files or large total size) no longer fail during preparation; the download button becomes available and the archive is built when the customer clicks download.
• Revoked products on all download pages (Replic-hosted, Shopify-hosted, and Shopify customer account order page) show a clear notice with a link to contact the reseller store.

​

Partnerships and wholesale terms

• Resellers can request a partnership from a product page on a free Shopify subscription (a paid subscription is still required to import partner patterns to a store).
• When requesting or resuming a partnership, resellers must review the supplier’s wholesale terms and confirm they have read them before continuing.
• Replic now emails resellers a copy of the supplier’s terms for their records upon approval.

​

Sell your own products on your Shopify store

• Designers can now sell their own products on their Shopify store (available on the free plan)
• Replic will handle the fulfillment
• Sales will not be billed or recorded through Stripe but can be viewed in Replic reports

​

Other improvements

• Reports can now be filtered to display or hide sales recorded through Replic. This allows stores to view sales from resellers that happened prior to Replic install as well as sales of their own products in their own store if applicable.
• Shopify and Replic product lists: you can disconnect or delete synced products on the free plan. Sync, connect, and status changes still require an active subscription and payment method where applicable.
• Shopify products are now listed in an unpublished ‘Replic products’ collection to allow for easier filtering for stores looking for in-Shopify reports.
• Removed legacy fields in wholesale terms

​

Partners

• Partner profile pages now show the products available (for suppliers) along with profile info.
• The partners list includes pagination
• We have provided shareable links you can send to prospective partners not yet on Replic.
• When revoking a partnership, you can record a reason (dispute, non-payment, geographic restrictions, or other). If you revoke a partnership pre-emptively, your store will not appear as revoked but instead be hidden from their partners list as to not cause confusion.
• Partner and product status badges more clearly show unavailable or restricted states

​

Product descriptions

• Product descriptions and the rich text editor now render styled HTML more consistently across product pages and modals

Fixes

• Stamped PDF downloads are more reliable

• Overzealous inventory refill on invoice payment is now contained to only the products in that invoice, if inventory is tracked

​

Importing products in Shopify

• Stores can now create a template title for imported products, for example: {title} - {brandName} - PDF pattern
• Stores now have the option to create one printed variant per large-scale printing file. If a pattern has multiple files, for example a long and short version, if this option is checked, the product will be created with a PDF variant and two additional printed variants: short version printed variant and long version printed variant.
• Stores who do not wish to have Replic automatically tag orders as fulfilled and do not want to have a Replic location attached to their shop can now disable the Replic location.
