Well-designed, branded receipts help merchants build trust, increase customer satisfaction, and reduce the burden on support teams. Clearer communication post-purchase also improves the overall customer experience and strengthens brand perception.

2. Collect SMS Opt-ins Seamlessly In-Store and Online

We've introduced SMS marketing opt-in directly within POS customer profiles, aligning in-store signups with online flows. This update ensures a consistent, compliant opt-in experience across all channels—enabling merchants to expand their reach and drive awareness of in-store promotions beyond email.

Feature: Point-of-Sale (POS) App - Store Management 

Estimated Impact:

  • SMS open rates average ~90%, vs. 20–25% for email

  • SMS clickthrough rates range from 10–15%, compared to 2–3% for email

  • With just a 20% opt-in rate, a store serving 10,000 shoppers monthly could gain 2,000 SMS subscribers—unlocking 3–4x higher visibility for promotions

In-store SMS opt-ins help merchants grow a high-performing marketing channel with significantly higher engagement rates than email. It also ensures compliance, consistency, and greater visibility for time-sensitive offers—driving more footfall and conversions.

OPEN PLATFORM & WEBSITE BUILDING

1. Mega Menu App Enables Multi-Market Configuration

Merchants can now customize the Mega Menu for different markets—enabling localized navigation, language display, and region-specific offerings. This update empowers brands to create tailored, intuitive shopping experiences that align with local customer needs and seasonal trends.

Feature: Mega Menu App

Impact:

  • Delivers personalized navigation experiences for each market

  • Supports localized content to boost relevance and conversion rates

Why it matters:
In multi-market commerce, a one-size-fits-all navigation approach often falls short. This feature ensures that merchants can deliver region-specific messaging and product categories that resonate with local shoppers—driving higher engagement and better conversion outcomes.

2. OS 2.1 Themes Enable For Multi-Market Configuration 

The latest update to OS 2.1 themes empowers merchants to tailor storefront content, styles, and components for different markets. This means customers in each region can experience localized visuals, messaging, and promotions—helping merchants deliver more relevant and engaging shopping experiences.

Feature: Website Building - Theme Editor

Impact:

  • 25% increase in time on site

  • 18% more page views

  • 2% uplift in conversion rate

Why it matters:
Localized storefronts are key to resonating with global audiences. By aligning design and content with regional preferences, merchants can boost engagement, enhance user experience, and improve conversion rates across markets.

3. Partner Portal Adds Webhook Subscription Instructions 

Starting from version v20240601, SHOPLINE’s Webhook service now supports a new API-based subscription method. To support this update, we’ve added clear prompts and guidance directly within the Webhook configuration page in the Partner Portal—making it easier for developers to understand and implement the new setup.

Feature: Open Platform - Partner Portal

Impact:

  • Greater flexibility and scalability for third-party integrations

  • Reduced manual setup effort and improved developer efficiency

Why it matters:

This enhancement streamlines the integration process for developers, enabling faster implementation and reducing operational overhead. With clear instructions and API support, partners can better scale their solutions and focus on innovation.
