release 2023.01
Introducing the January release! We're excited to announce a complete overhaul of our Product API, giving you unparalleled control over your product feeds. With the new update, you can easily create feeds tailored to specific user groups and individuals, complete with personalized pricing and discounts.And that's not all - we've also made significant improvements to our CSV upload feature. Now, large orders are processed in batches, making the upload process faster and smoother.
In the area of import/export of article data we have achieved a drastic improvement in efficiency by replacing our old code with a completely new framework.
And finally, our drag & drop editor is on the brink of public release now. We have added a slider component, support dynamic content, and added a new asset manager.
Experience the power of the completely revamped Product API! With our
advanced technology, it's now easier than ever to create custom product feeds tailored
specifically to your customers' needs. These feeds contain a carefully curated selection of
products, complete with customer-specific prices and discounts.
Whether you need to create customer-specific price lists, product catalogs, or flyers, our Product API has got you covered. You can even deliver product data directly to popular marketplaces like Amazon and BOL.com! With our fully configurable feeds, you have complete control over the content, structure, and fields included in the feed.
Plus, you can create sub-assortments with ease by defining user access or attributes to products. Filtering and post-processing steps can be done using powerful tools like Zapier, where you can also perform transformations and scoping of feeds.
Our product feeds are available in Json, XML, and CSV format, and can be fully customized for each specific channel. With the ability to tailor feeds to individual customers, including their unique pricing, the Shoxl API is miles ahead of competing B2B e-commerce platforms.

Importing very large files (several hundrerds of order lines to the
basket) resulted in some cases in time-outs. By processing these files in batches these
errors are prevented.
In the default Shoxl check-out flow, users arrive at a "Thank you for
your order page" and can then proceed to a Payment Service Provider such as Mollie. When
they complete their payment they are redirected to the shop and shown a "Thank you for your
Payment" message. That is, if the payment is successful.
In the new default check-out flow, users are redirected to the PSP when pressing the Order button. So they skip the Thank You for Your Order Page. Furthermore, the handling of PSP states other than Paid has been improved. Payment states such as "Payment not yet confirmed by the Creditcard Company" or "Payment Cancelled by the User" now show a clear message when retuerning to the shop.

Payment states such as "Payment not yet confirmed by the Creditcard Company" or "Payment Cancelled by the User" now show a clear message when retuerning to the shop.
The basket can now optionally display the GrossPrice and the discount
percentage (as calculated from the GrossPrice and the NettPrice).
After selecting a date from the date picker pop-up (e.g. the
deliverydate in the order proces) the pop-up would remain open. This has been changed so
that the pop-up will now always be closed automatically when selecting a date.
When a customer logs in to a shop, the credentials (user id / password)
are checked. This involves communication with the back-end software, which in some cases
reacts slow. There is now visual feedback on this to the user.
We introduced a new framework for the import of article XML data that
realises a dramatic performance improvement in the import time. The new framework was
realised for a customer with a fast changing product assortment with multiple daily uploads
of article data.
Together with the import framework the Article Excel export was rewritten to use parts of the same new import/export infrastructure. The updated Excel export uses far less system resources than the old one.

Assets are now manageable through a new asset manager
The new Drag & Drop contentbuilder now support Dynamic elements. These
are elements that do not contain static content, but are populated with dynamic items such
as products and news items. It is therefore now possible to include such dynamic items in
pages build with Content Builder.
Our new Content Builder has been extended with support for Sliders.
The account portal now supports changing list names.
Editing the order lists contained an error that prevented a shop visitor
to edit the list. Both removing articles from the list and removing an entire list no longer
worked. This bug has been fixed.
Ordering items on an orderlist now results in a reset of the quantity
field. Previously this field was not cleared. The amount is now reset to the minimum order
quantity for the article.
When a youtube video asset was added to an article it would not be
displayed on the article detail page due to a bug in the image gallery. This bug has been
fixed.
In certain configuration the article table used to display and select
articles in an articlegroup would display the nett price twice for logged in visitor. This
bug has been fixed.
An option has been added that prevents the shop from automatically
redirecting an article group page to the article page if the article group contains only 1
article.
When using the columns layout in the shop the state of menus displayed
in the left and/or right column will nog be persistant. This means that a menu that has
active (opened) menu items will remain open when loading a new page or when refreshing the
current page.
Custom links in the userportal were not language-specific. This option
has now been added.
The email engine sent empty nodes and null values in the template model
to Postmark. When setting up a template, Postmark is able to hide sections with fields that
are missing in the input. However, empty fields or fields with null values are rendered
always, so we are not able to hide them in rendered mails.
It is now built in such a way that empty lists and null values are no longer sent in the template model.

The field Brand on the Article group Page is now optional in the
Vendisto interface. It was already optional in the import/export.
december 2022
release 2022.12
Lots of interesting features in the december release. We mention some highlights.The new release offers the option to postpone the sending of orders to an ERP until the Payments Service Provider confirms they have been paid. We are also able to handle delayed payments, as found with credit cards and some other payment methods. This is a much requested and complex feature.
The management of Order/Favourite Lists has been simplified: articles can now be added to such lists through revamped dialogues.
Work has started on the Visma Cash integration. Gross prices are available, other components will follow soon.
And finally, we have a beta release of a new drag & drop editor that allows marketeers to build beautiful responsive content in a completely intuitive way.
Introducing the latest feature of our ecommerce platform - the Lists module, a powerful tool for your customers to easily create and manage multiple lists of products. Whether they need to keep track of products for daily, weekly, or monthly orders, or for specific projects, our Lists module makes it simple and convenient.
In the short demo below, you first see the orderlist module in the account section. Next a product is added to the list, and the full list is added to the basket.Adding articles can be done through a pop-up on the article page. For shops and portals that consist of article groups with each only one article the module can be plaed on the article group page.
Adding products to lists is effortless with a pop-up feature on the product page, and for shops and portals that consist of product groups with only one product, the module can be placed on the product group page. Your customers can specify the quantities they need in the list itself, or edit quantities in the basket.
As a Vendisto user, you will have the ability to view, compose and maintain lists for your customers, providing an added level of service, such as preparing a list of their favorite products before inviting them to place an order through your portal or shop. Upgrade your customer's ecommerce experience today with our Lists module.
This feature gives the possibility to redirect to the PSP after checkout
completion, as well the possibility to submit the order to the ERP after a successful
payment.
3 settings have been implemented:
3 settings have been implemented:
- Default, the default flow.
- Redirect to the payment provider but the order has already been posted to the ERP. The redirect will only be applied if an PSP has been selected. In all other cases, the user will be redirect immediately to the success page.
- Redirect to the payment provider. The order will be submitted to the ERP as soon as the order has been paid. If no PSP has been selected. The order will be posted immediately to the ERP
For B2B companies, international trade is VAT-exempt. The customer has
to pay VAT. However, when turnover in a country exceeds certain limits, a company has to
register in that country, and has to pay VAT.
The shop now allows the merchant to have merchant addresses in multiple countries. If a customer orders from a foreign contry, the shop checks whether the merchant has an operating company (merchant address) in that country. If so, the applicable VAT is charged.
If not, the order is VAT-exempt.

The shop layout options have been extended bij 2 new options: we can now
define a left and a right column. These columns will be displayed to the left and right of
the main content and the header/footer. These new sections can currently contain the
follwing page building blocks:
On mobile devices, menu's that are placed in the left content section will show as a hamburger menu (stacked pile of fat stripes). Clicking the section will slide it into view.
- Header/Layout/Logo
- Header/Layout/Menu
- Header/UserMenu
- Footer/Layout/Menu
On mobile devices, menu's that are placed in the left content section will show as a hamburger menu (stacked pile of fat stripes). Clicking the section will slide it into view.
The shop/portal now offers a choice for the formatting of round prices.
You can opt for a dash (10,-) or for trailing zeroes (10,00). A dash is not common in some
foreign countries such as Ireland.
Visma Cash is widely used in the SME segment, primarily as an accounting
package. Shoxl shops have a standard interface definition for ERP-systems, but was still
lacking integration with Visma.
The Visma integration is now in the process of making. The first step, getting gross prices from Visma, has been finished. The full interface will be operational early Q1/2023.

Postal codes are standardized, but unfortunately not everybody
implements the standards correctly. In this specific example, the standard says there should
be a dash in Portuguese and Japanese postal codes. This is implemented correctly by SAP.
However, when posting this postal code to DeliveryMatch (to calculate delivery costs and
find the best carrier) the postal code is refused because of the dash.
We are now able to replace or remove specified characters in postal codes for specific countries, when posting to carrier selection software. The correct postal codes are still used for the ERP system (which otherwise would refuse them, sine they do not comply to the standard for postal codes).

Building content for different page sizes remains a challenging task,
especially without a technical background. Ensuring that content renders in an optimal way
on mobile, tablet and desktop screens requires knowledge of HTML, CSS and Gird Systems such
as Bootstrap.
With our brand new Page Editor responsive content can now also easily be developed without technical knowledge. The editor allows marketeers to create beautiful content, just by dragging and dropping elements on the Page Canvas.
The new editor is currently in beta, and available to selected users only. We expect it to make it publicly available in the January release.

The Search bar in Vendisto became inactive after visiting the page found
in a previous search result, and returning to the product list. In such cases, it was
necessary to reset the full grid for a new search. This behaviour has been remedied.
The articleGroup tiles can now display the stock indication, This stock
indication functions identically to the stock indications used elsewhere in the shop.
The search input will now display a "clear search term" button whenever
a search term is present. When there's no search term present the button will be hidden.
If the Exact interface is configured to export the description field of
the unit as the unit (UnitField == UnitField.Description) then no unit will be returned to
Exact on the orderline when the unit description cannot be translated back to a unit code.
The orderline will in this case be mapped to the default sales unit of the item.
The setting "ReplaceTrailingDashByZeroes" determines whether the shop
displays round amount with a dash (€10,-) or with zeroes (€10,00). However, the
setting did
not work correctly for amount that were rounded: €10,0001 would be displayed as
€10,00
instead of €10,-. This behaviour has been changed.
The favorites list "order all" button now passes the selected quantities
to the basket.
Fixed a bug in the synchronization of not classified articlegroups.
These were not synchronized to the shop's cache.
The registrationform would not send the form as a result of a bug in the
Recatcha related styling.
november 2022
release 2022.11
In de november release is het mogelijk geworden om eigen artikelnummers van klanten weer te geven, en om daar op te zoeken. Uiteraard werkt dit alleen als is ingelogd. Verder zijn er diverse verbeteringen doorgevoerd in de product bundel functionaliteit, en in de artikel selektie dialoog .
Vermeldenswaardig is verder dat het tempo waarmee releases worden uitgebracht vanaf december gaat worden opgevoerd. Van een maandrelease stappen wij over op een cyclus van twee-wekelijkse sprints. Hierdoor komen nieuwe functionaliteiten nog sneller ter beschikking van onze implementatieteams - en dus van u.
Added optional functionality that enables the shop to display the
client-specific ordernummers on the article detail pages. This is also supported for the
autocomplete and search functionality.
Created generic mechanism for synchronization of Exact entitities that
cannot be synchronized via the Sync/Delete API.
Implemented synchronization of CustomerItems to Exact cache.
Exact Batch Interface now supports CustomerProduct export option. The ErpCache importer

The article selection wizard had some issues with selecting articles
where a user had no rights to (authorization).
Support for options in the wizard with empty values has been added so that it is possible to
select all available articles.
The functionality created to display article property values in the
articlegroup overview was removed by accident and has been restored. Several bugs in this

oktober 2022
release 2022.10
In oktober zijn "product bundels" geintroduceerd: artikelen die als set worden verkocht,
maar die in het ERP systeem zijn opgevoerd als aparte SKUs. Een bundel bestaat uit componenten,
waarbij de klant voor elke component een keuze kan maken uit de varianten binnen de bundel.
Eerder gedefinieerde autorisaties werken ook op bundels, zodat klanten alleen bundels kunnen
samenstellen uit componenten waartoe zij toegang hebben.
Fraaie en geavanceerde technologie dus, die inzetbaar is voor elke onderneming die te maken heeft met
productconfiguraties.
With the new layout block ArticleComponentsOrderInterface it is possible
to activate an orderinterface in which customers can compose a bundle.
The articles that can be a part of this bundle are defined in the Shoxl PIM module. In this module you first define the component types, such as "Verpakking" in the example image. Then you define which articles should be shown as options for this component type.
Articles can be optional or required, and can have their own price which is added to the bundle price when the option is selected.
Articles have their own SKU, so can be available outside of the bundle also. There is no need to define bundles in the ERP system, articles are handled as individual items.
For all articles that are part of the bundle you are able to specify who is allowed to see and select them. This way you can show generaic options to everybody, and customer-specific ones only to selected customers.

With orderlists your customers are able to store multiple lists for a
purpose of their choice. This could be to have lists of articles that are ordered regularly,
lists of articles that are needed for specific projects - and so on.
Order lists now also support Product Bundles. This way customers can quickly re-order specific configurations they need regularly.

Exact Online:
It is now possible to configure the Exact Online interface in such a way that a new
articlenumber is derived for each of the price units of an item (article) in Exact.
Each articlenumber and title of the derived articles are extended with resp. the code and
description of the unit in the sale price. The derived articles are exported to Vendisto and
to the shop.
Since the customer is able to define options for each product variant (article) in Vendisto
this enables the shop to display different options for each of the Exact item's price units.
When placing the order in Exact, the derived articlenumbers are translated back to the
original item and price unit.
Not al ArticleRelatedType field would be synced with the shop.
The orderbutton would not be active whenever the article detail page was
loaded with preselected components.
The layout of the accumulative discount information block on an article
detail page has been improved.
- The possibility to add news items to dynamic lists has been added.
- Added extra options to the slider implementation.
It has been made possible to set what information in displayed in the
account menu link in the editor.
It has been made possible to display the username and user emailaddress in the account
overview and in the customer data step of the order process.
Updated Font-Awesome to version 6.2.0.
Added the gross price to the article selection wizard.
The main menu data acquisition was very slow and has been replaced by a
much quicker solution.
The add and remove functionality in lists contained an error that has
been fixed.
Added an optional login description resource which is displayed above
the login button in the article selection wizard.
Fixed an error in the article selection wizard that kept the order
button disabled or would enable it when it shouldn't.
Fixed an issue where the category order would ignore Vendisto order when
no sort dropdown was present.
Fixed the from-prices on the article overview page. From-prices can be
gross prices or nett prices
Fixed synchronisation of AssetType when synchronizing assets in the
legacy synchronization mechanism. This bug in some cases caused the logo on a product
variant to appear as main product image.
The article page can now contain a slider that shows related article
groups (so not onlt related articles, but the groups they are part of)
Fix for bug that caused an error to appear in the browser console when
the dynamic content functionality was not configured.
Fixed a bug in the stock
The added to basket popup now shows the correct total price when used in
combination with AccumulativeDiscounts.
A wrong total basket amount was displayed when updating a quantity, this
has been fixed.
Added translations for the CSV upload page resources.
The RemoteImagesEnabled config setting is now correctly removed when
releasing
The order mail recipient functionality (to, cc, bcc) as it was
implemented in the old mail solution has been transferred over to the new mail solution.
Small improvement in the way the shop calls it's background service.
Exact Online: Implementation of Exact Online sync/delete interface. The
SalesPriceListVolumeDiscount records are needed for the generation of the pricelists for the
ERP cache that is used for retrieval of price data by the shop. The old mechanism in some
cases exceeded the API limits that Exact requires. The new sync mechanism reduces the amount
of calls to the Exact Api and increase the speed of the generation of the pricelists.
For portal shops we export the article's image while replacing the
original image filename with the articlenumber in order to prevent duplicate image names.
Some ArticleNumbers however did not meet the requirements that Vendisto requires for the
valid characters in a filename. These forbidden characters are now replaced by a dash
characters in the image filename.
Added missing country to pickup location
Added an extra null check to make sure the user management page doesn't
crash when no authorization profiles are present.
The favorites list tried to display suspended articles, this shouldn't
be possible and has been remedied.
The quantity input in the order list detail view would be disabled in
some cases, this has been fixed.
Removing a bundle from an orderlist failed, this has been fixed.
ShopManager: SqlServer octopus variables are now written to common
Shoxl.SqlServer variable set
Fixed an issue when trying to archive a knowledge item sometimes
wouldn't remove it from the site.

release 2022.09
In de september release is gewerkt aan het verhogen van codekwaliteit en het testen/controleren van de vele uitbreidingen die het platform in de afgelopen maanden heeft gehad. Even een pas op de plaats dus. Een release zonder spectaculaire uitbreidingen, maar met diverse maatregelen onder de motorkap die het platform plezieriger in gebruik maken en die de bedrijfszekerheid verhogen.

It is now possible to skip the Delivery Selection Step if no Delivery
methods are
found. This means: no delivery will be connected to this order.
Also a new resource has been introduced for this functionality:
DeliveryOptionsUnknownButCanBeSkipped.
It has been made possible to use HTML code in the step indicator text.
The basket information in the right column didn't always update.
Created two new setting which replaces the old setting:
ShouldRoundOrderLine
1) ShouldRoundOrderLinePriceIncludingVat
2) ShouldRoundOrderLinePriceExcludingVat
So we can now setup that we should only round the vat price or only the price excluding vat. This was not possible in the old situation.
More documentation can be found in the Settings manager tool.
1) ShouldRoundOrderLinePriceIncludingVat
2) ShouldRoundOrderLinePriceExcludingVat
So we can now setup that we should only round the vat price or only the price excluding vat. This was not possible in the old situation.
More documentation can be found in the Settings manager tool.
With this feature it is possible to setup a minimum threshold amount
value for the
basket. An user is only able to order if the threshold is met.
If a shop uses prices including VAT, we would like to see the threshold price including vat. To be specific, if the setting Price.ShowPriceWithTax is set to True, In this case, the shop will automatically calculate the tax for the MinimalOrderAmount. So if you have a MinimalOrderAmount of 100 euros and the average tax is 21%, the shop will setup the threshold to 121.
In some cases this is not desirable; you can get a threshold value with a comma. If you do not want a calculated value you can setup the MinimalOrderAmountIncludingVat. In this case the shop won't calculate the MinimalOrderAmount with the vat but directly uses the MinimalOrderAmountIncludingVat.

the basket
was emptied completely;
Meta properties can now be shown and updated inside the basket layout.
Some
improvements to the basket update procedure have also been made.
The Vendisto webservice will now return the correct TotalPrice.
When the basket was emptied not all summary items would be removed; this
has been
fixed.
The CSV upload confirmation page now has a sorting option and an
optional order
button per article.
The UI now has some more options to communicate to the user that the
upload is being
processed.
The UI for a CSV upload result didn't make sense when the list was

juli 2022
release 2022.07
De focus voor deze maand lag op de artikel(detail)pagina: de pagina die voldoende overtuigend moet zijn
om uw klanten op de bestelknop te laten drukken. In de juli release is deze artikelpagina op een fors
aantal vlakken verbeterd en uitgebreid.
Als een klant besluit om te kopen, moet het afrekenproces zo soepel mogelijk verlopen. Elke onnodige
actie kan leiden tot een
verlies van conversies. De release van juli biedt onder andere de mogelijkheid om de
stappen voor het selecteren van de leveringsmethode en de betalingsmethode uit te schakelen wanneer deze
al zijn vastgelegd in het ERP systeem.
Het vermelden waard zijn ook de toegevoegde functies aan de Exact interface. Shoxl ondersteunt nu ook de
Exact
"Factuur Naar" functie, waarbij prijsafspraken van de holding worden gebruikt wanneer een
dochteronderneming een order invoert.
The shop already supported the possibility to place multiple
CustomOrderFields on an articleDetail page. The VisibilityHeaders property has been
deprecated and is therefore no longer used. The shop now looks at the 'name' of a
CustomOrderField and whether the 'name' matches the Id of one of the properties of an
article that custom field will be rendered.
The article selection wizard can now display the order list UI and the
favorites button when there's a single article result and if one or both of these options
have been enabled in the WebshopSettings
The crumbpath has been made available as e layout element for the
ArticleGroup en Article layout. Using this layout element will lead to the default crumbpath
not being rendered.

the rest of the shop

the value icons instead of the text.
Made sure the article selection wizard skips non-wizard parameters
preventing faulty results.

superfluous. It is now possible to skip the Payment Method Selection Step during Check-out.
Added the possibility to add costlines on an article. As well the
possibility to add articles on an orderline.
The payment method selection page in the order process can now display
optional text for each option. To enable this it has to be enabled in the WebshopSettings
and the corresponding resources have to be added to the Raven database.
Added a setting for setting the default delivery method in the checkout
process.
Rewritten the threshold class. Regional threshold should work now as
well
The basket contained a bug when multiple VAT percentages where present
in the basket articles.
Exact offers the option to use the price agreements of a holding company
when ordering as a subsidiary. This is known as the Exact "Invoice To" feature. In such
cases Invoices are sent to the Holding the price agrements of the holding are used but the
order is entered by confirmed to and delivered to the Subsidiary. The function is triggered
by filling in the Invoice To filed on the Exact Customer card. This feature is now fully
supported.
For situations in which customer-specific shipping methods are defined
in the ERP it is unwanted to replace such agreement with the default ones as available in
the shop.
Default shipping method is no longer added to the order when placing an order in Exact if not configured or if exact code is left empty. It is no longer required to define a mapping for a delivery method. The order will in such case fall back to the shipping method as defined in Exact for the customer.

juni 2022
release 2022.06
Een nieuw menutype voor het catalogusgedeelte van uw winkel; nieuwe elementen in de Shoxl
lay-out taal; nieuwe opties voor het filteren; nou ja, te veel om op te noemen in deze juni
release.
De algemene noemer van alle werkzaamheden: uitbreiding van onze lay-out taal tot een uitgebreide toolkit
waarbinnen de meest complexe pagina-indelingen mogelijk zijn, zonder dat dit de noodzaak tot maatwerk
met zich meebrengt.
Upgraden van de Shoxl Core naar de nieuwste standaard blijft dus altijd mogelijk zonder herbouw.
Een oplossing die volledig op maat is zonder de nadelen van maatwerk - wie wil dat nou niet?
The Mega Menu is a new element in the layout language, which can be added to the Header Section.
Of the menu items only the item which is linked to the product catalogue will actually expand. The other items will be normal links.
The element has the following properties:
- CatalogueIsClickable (bool): can be clicked on "products" (for navigation). Default: false.
- CatalogueCustomLink (string): A custom link (in combination with `CatalogueIsClickable = true`) that will be navigated to. If empty, the default will fall back to the standard catalogue page. Default: empty.
- DisplayTypes (array): An array containing all top-level classifications to be displayed, and how the child classifications should be displayed. Each top-level classification will be a json object containing the following properties:
- ClassificationId (string): The ID of the classification.
- DisplayType (int): How the child items should be rendered. This number will map to an enum. Possible values at the moment: 0 = list, 1 = images.
The main menu of type "MegaMenu" now hides dupllicate items, meaning
that a child items menu containing just 1 items with the same name as the parent will no
longer be displayed.
The classification menu did not check for authorization when rendering
the menu, this has been fixed.
Added StaticLists to CategoryPage, news detail page, news overview page
and the basket overview page
The dynamic lists did not check for the current language, this has been
added.
Refactored some javascript related to the video player.
Implemented a new "GrossPriceBlackList" setting. This setting will hide
the gross price from visitors that are not signed in, based on an article property. All
articles that have this property with a value that's defined in this setting, will have
their gross prices hidden from visitors that are not signed in.
A new category menu has been added, containing links to the children of
the active category.
The category title will be displayed instead of the name if the title
has a value. If no value is present the name will be displayed.
Added synchronization of filter properties on classification node to
FastSync functionality.
The article selection wizard now supports 2 different behaviors: strict
mode and flexible mode. In flexible mode, it is possible to select properties that have
become unavailable with a chosen value for another property. If an available property is
selected, all values of other properties that are not available anymore will be deselected.
The performance of the shop, and specifically the ArticleGroup page has
been improved. Aim of these improvement was the shortening of page load times.
Bug fix, the fast sync did only support images type and not documents.
From now on, the document mimetypes are supported as well
Added a new resource which will be rendered as description in the
downloads section of articles, if filled.
The sort option in the basket has been changed to enable more styling
options.
It is now possible to add optional page titles to the order step pages,
the title will be displayed above the payment step indicator.
The order history detail page can now display shipping costs provided by
the webservices.
Reorder now correctly sends the debtor number with it's requests.
In the search results the sort UI would disappear after selecting a
filter option, this has been fixed.
The autocomplete didn't work for shops using authorization, this has
been fixed. Another issue was that sometimes the wrong image would be displayed in the
results, this has also been fixed.
News overview filters now correctly sort when sorting by alphabetical
order.
The static list slider now support options for infinite scrolling and
draggable navigation.
Bug fix. Signed in users will now get the correct delivery cost amount
The shop no longer tries to get article group prices on a page that
doesn't have any article groups.
Fixed a bug that caused the logout button to do nothing on certain
pages.
Introduced extra settings in the Exact Interface in order to convert the
tax percentage from Exact to the VAT code that the grossprice XML interface defines.
Portal: The Exact interface can now be configured with an export
language. If a translation of an item description is available in the configured language
then this translation will be exported as the article's title in the Portal.
Added PaymentConditionsXml to Exact Online deployment configuration
An option has been added to the number of units within a package unit,
e.g. the number of articles in a box. This value is shown throughout the shop and all
communication. The communication protocol with SAP had to be changed to accomplish this.
,Kristian Jacobs
SAP: SmartLynx connector now supports GetProductInformations function
that returns prices for multiple products in one call.
Article Excel Export in EZ-base format. The EZ-base export format is
only selectable in Vendisto if the customer has the EZbaseExport license. If the EZ-base
export format is selected then the options to export suspended or deleted articles are no
longer available. Only active articles will be exported.
A bug was fixed that in some cases occurred when requesting the article
stocks in the checkout process
Fixed security issue
Improved ShopManager in order to ensure that ErpCache DatabaseUgrade
will be executed on deployment.
When no telemetry is configured the AutomaticShopImporter now logs only
this only once.

layout vrijheid.

zijn, zonder ook maar één letter te hoeven programmeren, en zonder ook maar enige
concessie te hoeven
doen aan onderhoudbaarheid, wordt dus steeds beter gevuld.
A new solution has been implemented enabling the addition of custom tags
to the layout of categories, articlegroups and articles. An unlimited number of tags can be

a new import/export. The tags can be placed anywhere in the Layout of category, articlegroup
and article.
The layout of the basket page can now be changed via the
LayoutSettings. Blocks can be moved around, and the option to use more columns to position

april 2022
release 2022.04
Een release voor de liefhebbers van de nitty-gritty details, zo kan de april release het beste worden
omschreven. De release omvat een veelheid van kleine functionele verbeteringen en uitbreidingen.
Voorbeelden daarvan zijn de mogelijkheid om nu ook kostencomponenten toe te voegen aan artikelregels
(heel nuttig bij verwijderingsbijdragen), een nieuwe layout voor filtering op mobiele apparaten, de
mogelijkheid om artikenmerken te verdelen over meerdere kolommen, de mogelijkheid om te werken met
meerdere bestellijsten in het klantenportaal....
En meer van dat soort zaken. Kleine dingen waarvan u in de praktijk heel veel plezier zult hebben, want
zoals men zegt: "the devil is in the details".
The possibility to define costs per OrderLine has been added. This
information will be added to the basket by the CalculateOrder functionality that was added
in an earlier release. Any costs will be displayed in the article itself in the basket and
as a total in the calculation in the bottom of the basket.
The ArticlePropertiesList table will now always render 1 column on
mobile devices.
The articlegroup footer description has been added to the
LayoutSettings.
The display for round prices was inconsistent as a result of price
rounding issues, this has been fixed.

direction can be configured for this new element.

field for the amount with which the quantity of an article can be incremented. br

maart 2022
release 2022.03
Met de afronding van de implementatie van onze Layout Language bereiken we in de maart release een mooie
mijlpaal. In deze taal beschrijven we de structuur van pagina's die u in de shop vindt. Denk aan een
productpagina, of aan de winkelmand pagina.
Met ingang van de maart release zijn alle paginatypen nu ondergebracht in deze taal en daarmee flexibel
inrichtbaar. Ergens een infoblokje nodig? Een lijstje met gerelateerde productgroepen? Bepaalde
producteigenschappen ergens gebundeld laten zien? Met de nieuwe layout language is dit allemaal niet
meer dan het aanpassen van een paginabeschrijving. Kortom, vrijwel ongelimiteerde mogelijkheden voor
onze Enterprise klanten.
Op integratiegebied lag de focus deze keer op details, zoals het volledig gelijk trekken van onze shop
calculaties met de BTW calculatie en wijze van afronden in Exact. Het gaat een beetje tegen onze
architecturele principes in, maar soms ontkomen we niet aan het dupliceren van wat ERP-functionaliteit
in het Shoxl platform.
Op het gebied van BTW en afronden heeft elk ERP pakket zijn eigen aanpak, en die is vrijwel nooit
duidelijk gedocumenteerd. Maar we lopen inmiddels, in goed overleg met Exact, weer helemaal gelijk.
The ArticleGroup detail page now can be configured with a flexible
values overview displaying all the property values of all the articles in the ArticleGroup.
The values will be displayed as a comma separated string in the table.
The number of columns in this overview can be configured. It is also possible to set how the columns will be rendered. You can choose between from left to right and column by column (default).
When the article selection wizard is being used the option exists to let the wizard result filter the values being displayed in this overview. Selecting a value in the wizard will result in property values no longer applicable disappearing from the list.

Added optional extra fields for personal details to the delivery address
form.
Delivery country code has been added as optional parameter to the
function Calculate order.
All of the checkout steps are now available in the new layout
configurations.
Payment discount rules would remain in the basket after placing an order
while rules like that should be removed at that point. This issue has been fixed.
The order(line) / basket(line) calculations have been rewritten so it
can round on orderline level on both tax as ex tax level.
Payment discounts are now calculated correctly.
Created two settings for correct order(line) calculations:
1)ShouldRoundOrderLine
Round the orderline instead of the whole order. The rounding precision has to be setup in the setting RoundingPrecision. If the RoundingPrecision is not setup, the setting will work but with it's default value five.
2) RoundingPrecision
A number between 0 and 5. This number will stand for the rounding accuracy on orderline records.
Works only if the setting ShouldRoundOrderLine is activated.
A third setting has been made so we will not get the payment provider price from Vendisto
3) UseWebserviceAsDataSourceForPaymentProviderPrice
Defines where the order price should come from for the payment provider. This setting only works when using the webservice mode 999
True = We will do a request to the webservice to retrieve the order price. This means, it can go to the ERP or Vendisto
False = We will get the order price from RavenDB

Next to name also the email address and phone number are stored in to the Contact.
Added UnitField setting to Exact Batch Interface.
This setting defines which field (Code or Description) of the Unit is to be exported in the
Gross Prices and ERP Cache PriceList and CustomerPrices XML.
If this functionality is configured in the settings of the Exact Batch
Interface, the article (item) images that are uploaded in Exact Online are now exported in a
(set of) Asset_Image.zip file(s) next to the Article XML export.
These assets are automatically imported in Vendisto and made available as article images in the shop.
The "extra description" field of the item in Exact Online is now also exported to Vendisto and can be found in the Description field of the product variant. The export of the extra description only works if this is configured in the settings of the Exact Batch Interface.

If the Exact Batch Interface is configured to create accounts for passerby users, the

Added ShippingCountry to CalculateOrder REST API
Added import settings ArticleGroupDefaultTitle and
EnableArticleGroupSplitting to the article XML import.
The ArticleGroupDefaultTitle can be set to Undefined (this is the default value) or to ArticleNumber.
If set to ArticleNumber this setting specifies that for new articles the ArticleNumber will be used as the title of the ArticleGroup when creating an articlegroup for the article if no Title element is present on the ArticleGroup XML.
If EnableArticleGroupSplitting is set to to Y (default value N) the article import requires that all of the articlegroup's articles are present in the article group node in the XML import. Articles that are not present in the node will be split from the articlegroup after updating the article.
The default behaviour of this setting will in most cases be the expected behaviour. Leaving this setting tot N will enable the update of a single article with XML coming from the ERP without splitting the article from the articlegroup.

import.
The settings is used in both article XML import as well as article Excel import.
An extra checkbox was added to the article import view in Vendisto. The checkbox "Delete not
imported properties" is default not checked.
The default behaviour of the article import used to be to delete all not supplied properties from the database. From now on this is only done if the "Delete not imported properties" option is checked or if the ImportSetting "DeleteNotImportedProperties" is set to "Y" in the article XML import.
It now is also possible with the Article XML import to update an article property without having to give the article group name. The Article XML import behaved different than the Excel import.

The customer's incoterm that can be shown in the user portal contained a
three character database limit. The field's limit is increased to 255 characters.
SAP will now return the CurrencyCode in an order.
The shop has been changed so it will sent the currency code from the order instead of the
setup currency in the shop. If the order does not have a currencyCode we will fallback on
the currency which is setup in the shop
Articles that have a discontinued state in EZ-base are now set to
LifetimeState Active instead of to Suspended when beïng imported into Shoxl.
Added Currency and Incoterm fields to customer Excel import.
The fields only appear in Excel if the currency and incoterm licenses are configured for the
Vendisto user.
februari 2022
release 2022.02
De kortste maand van het jaar, maar dat is op geen enkele wijze zichtbaar in het aantal nieuwe features
in deze maandrelease. We tellen er meer dan 30, waarvan het merendeel in de shopping en
portal modules.
In deze release is het check-out proces fors onder handen genomen. We zien hier nieuwe
mogelijkheden als het in bulk muteren van de winkelmand en het toevoegen van additionele informatie op
orderregelniveau; maar ook een verbeterde performance zodat winkelmandjes met enkele honderden
orderregels probleemloos kunnen worden verwerkt.
Zoals vorige maand aangekondigd is verder druk gewerkt aan het afronden van ons werk aan het
bestelportaal. Hier zien we nu een vast menu op alle pagina's in desktop view, en een
dropdown op mobiele platforms. Daarnaast is het bijvoorbeeld mogelijk geworden om een selectie te maken
uit de favorietenlijst en deze in één actie toe te voegen aan de winkelmand.
Op integratiegebied lag de focus opnieuw op Exact Online. De interface met dit pakket
is al uitstekend op orde, maar nu nog verder uitgebreid met een aantal gevanceerde ainstellingen. Verder
zijn ook de interfaces naar SAP en Exact Globe op enkele punten uitgebreid.
The basket can now display an item selection interface. This interface
consists of checkboxes per item in the basket, a select all and a remove selection option.
The basket now has the option to display a sorting interface. This
interface displays a dropdown with some default sorting option (date added, name,
articlenumber), both ascending and descending.
The shop can now display text fields with specific articles. If the text
field is active in the shop it will enable a shop user to provide specific extra information
with an article. This extra information will be passed to the back-end in the OrderLine
information.
The checkout process pages can now optionally omit the left column
(containing the basket summary). In Shoxl shops it is not uncommon that orders contain 100+
order lines. In such cases this summary is not very handy.
Phone and email will now be posted as well do Delivery Match even when
you are signed in. This was not the case in the past
Fixed an issue that caused certain javascript files to throw an error
due to the order in which they were loaded.
Fixed a bug that occurred when the shopping basket with a large number
of different articles (over one hundred) was retrieving prices from Vendisto.
The filter functionality can now show the active filter options above
the article group overview in the form of small containers. The containers contain the
selected option value and a button that can be used to unselect the filter option.
Added the option for shops to have a custom html block under the filters
/ left menu.
The Shoxl Layout Language defines the content of pages. On the basis of
the Layout Document which is written in this layout language the page HTML is generated. It
is now possible to also define the news overview and news detail pages in this document.
Previously News Overview and News Detail Pages were based on fixed templates.
Added checkboxes to the favorite list to allow bulk actions such as
adding to basket or removing. Previously only a single article or the full list could be
added to the basket
The dropdown user menu in the header is now also configurable in the
layout settings.
The order portal section of Shoxl shops now shows a menu in the left
column. The contents of this menu can be selected out of the available options for the
accounyt section, grouped, and customized. This is all handled by the Shoxl Layout Language.
Added a layout setting that controls if the left user menu should only
be shown on the account overview page, or all account pages. Hiding this menu is useful for,
for instance, order history pages that contains many colimns and need page full width.
The icon set used in the account portal has been updated.
The portal shows placeholder images for all products without images.
These images are served and produced by an external service. Due to an insecure connection
to this service, the images were not always returned by the service, causing a "missing
image" message.
Fixed an issue that caused prices to keep loading in the favorite list
on small screens
Added optimalization of certificate variables used during in deployment
process. hopManager was modified so future shops will also adopt this change in their
deployment configurations.
In order to improve speed and reduce the dependency from external
providers, resources that are used by our shops (such as font awesome) are now moved to the
Cloudflare CDN.
The Exact Portal Edition enables the user to classify articles in a a
1-level deep classification in Exact online using a defined Assortment in Exact. Each
article's selected classification is exported to the Shoxl shop by the Exact Batch
Interface.
Added GIROPAY, UBERWEISUNG, APPLEPAY and BANCONTACT to definition of
OrderXML Batch export. Published as OrderXmlExport_V5.xsd
The customer import now validates the lengths of the customer address
fields in order to avoid database errors. An example of a condition creating an error: Exact
allows 20 characters for postal codes, thus supporting codes like '80023 Caivano', while the
shop only allows 12 characters for this field.
Article Export without articles no longer generates an export file
Fixed serialization problem when importing XML export files from Exact
Online, caused by the Exact export not adhering to the Exact XSD. Fixed a bug in the
mechanism that ensures that the Exact Batch Interface interface respects the API request
limits.
Due to a new generic implementation of customer price calculation, both
a discount price and the first level of a quantity discount table were shown in the article
table price column. This has been corrected.
The Incoterms or International Commercial Terms are a series of
pre-defined commercial terms published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)
relating to international commercial law. They are widely used in international commercial
transactions or procurementprocesses. If applicable, the Incoterm description is now shown
in the Account section of the Portal.
The Shoxl Webservice now supports a hyrid connector configuration.
This enables for example the webservice to use the ERP Cache caching layer for Invoice and Order history as well as the Shoxl REST interface for realtime Product information.
The mechanism supports the Account, Order, Price, Product and Stock dataservices as well as the ErpCache, Shoxl, ShoxlRest, Stem and Veldmans connectors.

The mechanism supports the Account, Order, Price, Product and Stock dataservices as well as the ErpCache, Shoxl, ShoxlRest, Stem and Veldmans connectors.
OrderSuccessful is now set to true for successful placed order when
using SmartLynx connector in Shoxl Realtime interface.
Replaced SmartLynx DataRequest from GET tot POST method. This solved an
error that occurred when deserializing the DataRequest response.
Orderlines can now contain additional information, added by the customer
to specify elements such as color charts name for paints, or texts to be printed on clothes.
For this purpose we have added a CustomOrderFields field on OrderLine to REST API definition
of the PlaceOrder Webservice. This is documented in ShoxlRestApiSwagger_v4.json.
Static lists show the products that are added tot the list in the
position the list is added in the Page Layout. The Vendisto interface to position these
items has been improved.
The Static List functionality has been extended to support other item
types. A static list can now contain: articles, article groups, categories or a combination
of those three items. It can also contain one free HTML block. These items can be shown in a
slider or in a container containing a fixed number of blocks.
At this moment static lists are supported on the following pages: HomePage, ArticlePage, ArticleGroupPage. In the near future this feature will be added to Category pages also.

januari 2022
release 2022.01
Januari 2022: een mooie maand voor het account portaal, dat eindelijk weer eens de
aandacht kon krijgen
die dit verdient. Een verbeterd menu met meer aandacht voor de mobiele versie, nieuwe componenten zoals
een pagina voor upload van CSV bestanden, nieuwe features zoals het sorteren van de favorietenlijst op
basis
van toevoegdatum, een fors aantal kleine verbeteringen... Enfin, bekijkt u het
zelf eens.
En "be warned": hier gaan we het niet bij laten, in februari gaan we onverstoord door met het uitbreiden
van dit portaal totdat we echt niet meer zouden weten hoe we dit nog beter kunnen krijgen.
In de tussentijd zijn we ook druk bezig geweest met onze Portal Edition voor Exact
Online, die we
hebben voorzien van een geheel nieuw jasje. We zijn er trots op dus vinden het maar al te leuk als u het
resultaat
eens wilt bekijken. Maak een afspraak voor een online demo
zodat we kunnen zien of ons
enthousiasme terecht is. (Niet verder vertellen maar: we hebben de hele maand februari ook nog eens een
mooie introductie-aanbieding.)
Een ander onderwerp dat ons in januari heeft beziggehouden is het check-out proces, waar we een fors
aantal kleine verbeteringen hebben doorgevoerd. Het springt allemaal wellicht wat minder in het oog,
maar de continue verbetering van ons e-commerce platform is een belangijke basis voor
ons en uw succes.
The account portal offers customers direct access to their data in the ERP system, such as order status and invoices. It also helps them in the ordering process, e.g. by providing access to favorites lists and upload CSV-files to quickly fill the order basket.
The favorites list can now also be sorted by a dropdown selection. Furthermore the option to sort by date added has been added to the options.
The CSV basket upload functionality has been expanded with an overview
that will be displayed after the upload and before the add to basket step. In this overview
the uploaded article list can be edited (remove and change quantity). The overview also
provides feedback about articles that can't be ordered (e.g. due to stock issues).
The shop now contains a default page that acts as a portal to the CSV
basket upload. This page also provides a tutorial for the usage af the CSV basket upload
functionality.
The Incoterms or International Commercial Terms are a series of
pre-defined commercial terms published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)
relating to international commercial law. An optional Incoterm element was added to the
Customer XML import. This information is shown to the user in the account section of the
user portal.
Fixed the mapping for Open state of both order and orderlines. This
state was shown in the shop as Unknown.
As part of this change the GetOrderHistory webservice was also extended with an OrderState field in order to be able to show order state in the overview.
As part of this change the GetOrderHistory webservice was also extended with an OrderState field in order to be able to show order state in the overview.
Fixed wrong price mapping in order history of Shoxl Webservice
A bug in the Orderstate mapping of the ERP Cache database caused the
order history in some cases to fail. The problem was fixed.
Implemented bugfix for order import that was overwriting wrong
orderlines when updating order.
The basket can now display an optional text above the basket contents.
This text is only visible if provided in the resource overrides.
Article pages now have the delivery date already filled in if the user
navigated there from a filter page that had the filters set to a specific delivery date
The payment costs calculation contained a bug that caused the
calculation to return the wrong amount due to a tax check issue.
Payment methods can be linked to discounts; e.g., paying through iDEAL
might lead to a 2% discount on an order total. The payment cost orderline however would only
display costs abovve zero, so no discounts. This has been fixed.
A bug in the address logic in the order process prevented the
state/region code to be updated in the checkout.
The combination of a customer invoice address in the (EU) country of the
supplier (VAT required, and a delivery address in a non-EU country such as Switserland,
would lead to VAT incorrectly being added to the amount charged via a Payment Service
Provider.
Pickup point information was missing in the order message (sent to the
ERP system and used for the order confirmation message), and also not shown in the shop
back-office system Vendisto. This information has now been added.
When a user address does not include a (last)name, the orderservice will
now use the (last)name of the main contact person of the customer organization.
In de settings of the Shoxl to Exact Online connector it is possible to
define a Payment Condition to be added to the order which depends on the selected Payment
Method in the shop. This mechanism was failing when being partially configured.
The improved behaviour is that in case of an unconfigured Payment Condition for the Payment Method, the order will simple contain no Payment Condition. In Exact the Payment Condition will default to the one that is specified for the Customer.
The improved behaviour is that in case of an unconfigured Payment Condition for the Payment Method, the order will simple contain no Payment Condition. In Exact the Payment Condition will default to the one that is specified for the Customer.
Fixed VatCode mapping for Exact online ErpCache Order history export
The export of pricelists without volume discounts is now implemented in
the Exact Batch Interface.
An optional Currency element was added to the customer import XML
format. This element can be used by the shop to predefine the users currency in the shop,
for instance when changing currencies is not allowed.
The sort by "Position" in the article table did not function correctly
and has been fixed.
Fixed a bug in the ordering process for shops that use the packages
calculator.
Fixed NullReferenceException that occurred when STEM interface did not
return price. Article without price is now removed from basket after restoring basket on
login.
A bug in the logic prevented a setting from performing as expected.
When a user in the shop has an order budget, the App must show the
remaining budget and show a warning when this budget is exceeded. This part is now available
in the app.
Bugfix in OrderDataServfice of Rest connector. Fix for PlaceOrder
function not beïng called.
It is now possible to send an alternative delivery address to SAP with a
debtor order.
The languages of Vendisto will now cached for one hour by default.
The cache time can be changed by the following web.config settings:
vendisto:TranslationProviderCacheTimeoutSeconds
vendisto:PollingInterval
This change will improve the global import performance by 40%
And this change will stop the DDOS attack to the SQL server instance.

december 2021
release 2021.12
In december hebben we een nieuw lid van de Shoxl familie mogen verwelkomen: Shoxl voor Exact
Online Portal Edition. De Portal Edition breidt Exact Online uit met een bestelportaal.
Klanten bestellen online en hebben inzage in hun orderhistorie. Een win-win situatie dus: een
efficiënter en goedkoper verkoopproces, en een nog hogere klanttevredenheid dan u al wist te
realiseren.
Wist u dat bezoekers die zoeken op een B2C website tot 5 keer meer omzet genereren dan de niet-zoekers?
En dat de gemiddelde orderwaarde ook nog eens hoger ligt? In een B2B shop zal dit wat genuanceerder
liggen, maar dat de kwaliteit van zoekfaciliteiten belangrijk is staat buiten kijf. Met de
Elastic Search integratie is een meer visuele vorm van zoeken nu ook beschikbaar voor
Shoxl shops. En dat is niet alles: er wordt ook nog eens gewerkt aan een "native" uitgebreide zoek, dus:
stay tuned!
Op integratiegebied is de aandacht deze maand vooral uitgegaan naar een uitbreiding van de koppeling met
Exact Online, in het kader van de lancering van Shoxl voor Exact Online Portal Edition. Maar ook
voor SAP, Anzio en Dynamics waren er diverse kleine verbeteringen.
Shoxl for Exact Online Portal Edition is our new entry-level edition for
companies that want to extend their Exact Online installation with an Order Portal. The
Order Portal enables customers to order online, facilitates quick and repeat ordering,
and
to view order status and order history. Portal accesss and product catalogue management
is
fully managed in Exact, without the need for for plug-ins and the likes. The Portal
itself
runs cloud-based in its own instance, so no local installation necessary.
The
Portal Edition therefore is an out-of-the-box, easy to install and manage, powerful and
affordable extension to Exact Online. More information on this Edition can be found
here.
Shoxl now interfaces with ElasticSearch through Swiftype, a commercial
onsite search engine built on top of the Elastic platform. Through this integration,
searching a catalogue can now result in a dropdown showing both images and textual
search
results.
This allows for a more visual type of search (of course, depending on
the availability of useful product images). The dropdown will be populated through
auto-completion; so every character that is added will change the results set towards a
set
of of products that more accurately match the search expectations.
ElasticSearch
is part of the Elastic Stack: a cloud-based search and analytics engine. ElasticSearch
enables the creation of a leading search experience. The tool comes with robust
analytics
and tunable relevance controls. Users can influence search results by setting weights
and
boosts, and can promote or hide specific search results.
The Elastic/Swiftype integration is available through a monthly subscription, starting at
USD 79 for an assortment of up to 5000 products. Currently the integration will only
work on
product sets without authorizations.
In parallel, we are extending our standard
Shoxl product search with a dropdown that also autocompletes and contains images and
texts.
This native search extension is epexcted to be available early Q2/2022.
Our
search will deliver the same search experience, but also take into account
authorizations on
products. The search results page will not be changed. We will still show filters that
are
generated from the search results; and return product groups and classification nodes
instead of individual products. An important difference with the Elastic family will be
that
we will not (albeit initially) offer facilities to users to customize search results on
the
basis of an analysis of search behaviour.
The choice between Elastic and native
search will first of all depend on the use of authorizations. If they are not in use,
the
main advantage of the ElasticSearch integration is the adaptability of Search results by
the
user. Using ElasticSearch comes at a cost however: these facilities do not come cheaply,
especially with large assortments.
The display of youtube video assets has been improved by scaling the
window used to display the video. Several small fixes to the styling en HTML have also been
made.
User management now contains an option to enable/disable the downloads
feature for specific users.
The order lists column in user management is now only visible of the
module is active. Previously it would always be displayed, resulting in an empty column in
the UI.
The Back Button will now always navigate to the Account page when using
the barebone setting
Basket now gets rebuilt correctly when changing the currency
Fixed an issue that caused custom javascript to be ignored by Grunt.
Fixed an issue that caused the sort controls to stop responding after
opening and closing an article detail popup.
A bug in the function that orders assets in some cases caused the asset
sequence of article or articlegroup asssets to differ from the sequence defined in the
import sheet.
Added the HideHeaderAndFooter functionality to the POST method of
password reset. This one was forgotten
When using the bareBoneLoginPage. If we are signed in, we should not be
able to access the PasswordReset page, Activate page and Register customer. In this case we
will be redirected to the home page
Fixed an issue causing confusion when rendering images and downloading
assets,
Bug fix: Calculate order works now without a webservice or if we use
Vendisto as ERP
An asset of type file got the wrong filename when downloaded, this has
been fixed.
As a result of a bug in the logic used to set the active page in the
main menu the situation could occur that 2 pages where marked as active simultaneously. This
occurred when one page started with the title of the other.
A bug in the code has been fixed that caused the budget functionality to
not always work in specific cases.
Fixed error that occurred when displaying orderlines in the account
portal. The issue affected only sales orders with an unfinished PriceAndTaxCalculation in
SAP ByD.
Fixed missing translation of order state in order history overview
returned by REST API.
The default Shoxl ERP connector now returns the order reference field
for the order history overview.
The default import language of the Vendisto imports that are started by
the automated import process are can now be configured in the deployment environment of
Vendisto.
It is no longer necessary to define a double administration of delivery
costs in both the shop configuration and in the Exact Online interface configuration. The
shop now passes on the delivery cost related articlenumbers as specified in the shop
settings.
Removed unnecessary dependency from Anzio.XmlImport. This improves the
maintainability of the software and fixed a bug that was caused by a library upgrade in the
Anzio XmlImport console application.
The STEM webservice connector is now implemented in a separate process
while releasing the shop from the responsibility for the connector.
This architectural improvement enables the upgrade to the latest core version for shops that use the STEM connector.
This architectural improvement enables the upgrade to the latest core version for shops that use the STEM connector.
Changes where made to the Shoxl Webservices architecture in order to
incorporate the STEM connector in the framework.
Fixed bug that caused some suspended articlegroups to exist in RavenDB.
This situation occurred when the webshop XML contained Articlegroups with only discontinued
articles.
The Exact Online batch interface is now able to process shop orders that
have a discount percentage specified on on the payment method. The discount is added to
Exact as a discount on the entire order.
It now also is possible to configure separate Exact Online payment conditions for the different payment method defined in the shop configuration.
It now also is possible to configure separate Exact Online payment conditions for the different payment method defined in the shop configuration.
Hotfix for (newly introduced) bug caused by Shoxl WebService placing
shipment cost orderlines in Vendisto with wrong orderline type.
Added request throttling on Exact Online REST Api calls. This mechanism
ensures that the Shoxl Exact Batch Interface respects the minutely limit that Exact imposes
on these calls.
In our continued effort to centralize all shop management, we have now
moved the management of Vendisto User Rights to our central Setting management Tool.
Vendisto User Rights govern the visibility and accessibility of Vendisto Sections (that is:
Menu Items, Page Sections, Overview Grid Columns, Action Buttons) to Vendisto Users.
In a next step, the existing set of user rights will be extended, thus creating the possibvility to show users a version of Vendisto that is fully tailored to their needs.

november 2021
release 2021.11
In november is veel tijd besteed aan het verhogen van de kwaliteit en
performance van de
diverse componenten van het Shoxl e-commerce platform. Hierbij lag de focus op het
kunnen afhandelen van orders met zeer veel orderregels, en het verbeteren van de
prestaties wanneer zeer veel productdata (meer dan 100000 SKUs) moest
worden getoond of geïmporteerd resp. geëxporteerd.
Verder is de integratie met DeliveryMatch uitgebreid met de
mogelijkheid om voor orderaflevering te kiezen uit beschikbare pick-up locaties.
Ook functioneel is er het één en ander te melden, waaronder een nieuwe integratie met
PSP MultiSafePay, en in het Account Portal diverse nieuwe mogelijkheden
zoals de optie om kolommen te verbergen.
Op integratiegebied is de aandacht deze maand vooral uitgegaan naar een uitbreiding van
de koppeling met CS WholeSale, het ERP-pakket van Centric. Verder zijn
diverse issues in de bestaande interfaces aangepakt.
En tenslotte: deze maand is veel aandacht besteed aan het verbeteren van het
uitrolproces van nieuwe shops, dat inmiddels vrijwel geheel
geautomatiseerd verloopt met onze tool ShopManager. Goed nieuws voor
onze nieuwe klanten dus.
The integration with DeliveryMatch has been extended with the option to select a pick-up point. The available pickup points are presented in the third step of the check-out process, when a choice is made between Delivery and Pick-up. If multiple logistic carriers are used, all pick-up points that are part of their delivery network are shown.
The sale items list on the homepage can now
optionally link to the ArticleGroup that contains the Article
instead of to the Article itself.
MultiSafePay can now be selected as a payment provider for Shoxl.Shop.
(Image Copyright MultiSafepay)
A new (optional) feature has been added that
will show the visitor the remaining amount to be ordered to
receive free shipping. This message will be displayed in the
basket, the feedback after adding an article to the basket and
in the basket summary.
Several performance fixes have been added to the
article selection list component improving overall loading
speed.
The sitemap will now be stored on disk to be
able to serve the sitemap faster for search agents. if the
sitemap does not exists, a new sitemap will be created. If it
exists, we will check if it is older than one day. If so, we
will recreate a new one, otherwise we will serve the one from
disk.
A sitemap creation will only take 10 seconds (if not cached) with 100.000 items.
For a normal website, this will only take around 2 seconds (if not cached)
If cached, both requests will be served within a second
A sitemap creation will only take 10 seconds (if not cached) with 100.000 items.
For a normal website, this will only take around 2 seconds (if not cached)
If cached, both requests will be served within a second
It is now possible to always show the shopping cart button and quantity selector on the article group overview page in tile view. Previously, these order buttons were only shown on-hover.
For our emailing module:
OrderDate, PrefferedDeliveryDate and ExpectedDeliveryDate will
now be formatted in normal human words like Tuesday 21 April
2021 9: 45 instead of 2021-04-21T09: 45: 00
The option to display te name of an article in
the article selection table has been added. This option is
disabled by default.
The order overview list in the account menu had
been made configurable. When configuring a shop the visibility
and display order of the various columns can be set.
The order history failed for users without an
account number, this has been fixed.
Fixed bug that caused empty order history list
for realtime webservice connections using Shoxl REST API
implementation.
An issue causing the register form not to be
submitted has been fixed.
When price information for an ArticleGroup was
missing the call that has to retrieve the prices for several
ArticleGroups would fail. This would result in a failure for all
ArticleGroups on a page. This has been changed so that all
information that is available will be returned. ArticleGroups
with missing information will be skipped.
As a result of a bug in the filtering logic
there would be no filters available for certain search result.
This issue has been fixed.
After filtering an article selection list the
prices would no longer get loaded. This issue has been fixed.
Fixed bug that occurred for users with debtor
number but without pricelist in the ERP cache.
Fixed an issue where when resizing an image the
transparent background would be replaced by a black background
in some cases.
The CS Wholesale connector of the Shoxl Realtime
interface now returns the orderline prices after this was
implemented by Centric in the CS Wholesale webservice.
Updated the CS Wholesale connector of the Shoxl
realtime webservice so that orderlines with items on backorder
are now shown with status ToDeliver.
The CS Wholesale ERP now supports the invoice
history overview in the user portal.
In the overview the invoices can be downloaded in PDF format.
The Shoxl REST API now also supports Bearer
token authentication
The REST API connector that connects to ERP
systems for customers that have implemented the Shoxl Realtime
REST interface now returns PDF documents for the invoices that
are shown in the user menu of the shop.
Created new database upgrade tool for the
ErpCache database that is now configured to be run as part of
the rollout process of the Shoxl Webservice. This webservice
functions as an intermediate layer between the shop and the ERP
Cache.
The new tool centralizes responsibility for the database upgrade
which was before shared by multiple processes. In rare cases
this could cause issues.
Fixed OutOfMemoryException that occurred while
importing pricelists in ERP Cache.
Fixed bug that caused an unknown error for
customers that manage their prices in Vendisto. When importing
new articles the price synchronization to the shop caused an
error.
Fixed an issue in the exception logging
mechanism that caused the webservice to fail returning the error
to the shop in case of fatal errors. This was leading to slow
behavior in the shop.
Fixed security issue
The Shoxl connector used a wrong parameter when
requesting the order history of an account. This lead in some
cases to an error.
A large image in the editor could be displayed
at a size larger than the editor. This issue has been fixed.
The build process that builds our software was
modernized so it now uses the latest version of the .NET build
tools.
Shopmanager will now create ShopInstances
documents for each chosen language, and a default LayoutSettings
document when deploying a new shop.
A change was made to the mechanism that we
internally use when connecting the Shoxl development environment
to a specific shop instance. This change simplified the process
and made it easier to adapt it to new shops.
Shopmanager will now automatically generate a
default homepage for each selected language, and add these pages
to both Vendisto and RavenDB.
oktober 2021
release 2021.10
In deze release is de Snel Bestellen functionaliteit van de shop uitgebreid met de
"Order Grid": een overzichtelijke tabel op de artikelgroep pagina die
alle varianten binnen een artikelgroep toont,
inclusief hun onderscheidende kenmerken. Op dezelfde pagina is het mogelijk geworden om
(in de taal die wordt gebruikt om pagina lay-outs te definiëren) groepjes van
productkenmerken te plaatsen op verschillende posities.
Dit verhoogt de flexibiliteit voor ontwerpers om tot een pagina te komen die optimaal
communiceert.
Ook op integratiegebied is er goed nieuws te melden: er is een nieuwe directe integratie
Met Exact Globe beschikbaar gekomen, en er is een koppeling ontwikkelt
met de SmartLynx middleware laag op SAP Business One.
An OrderGrid option has been added for the
ArticleGroup detail page. When this option is activated
a
selection UI by a definable property will be displayed
(e.g.
color). When one or more of the values in this UI is
selected an
OrderGrid result will be generated. This result consists
of a
grid containing all the articles available for the
selected
value. Multiple value selection lead to multiple
OrderGrid
results.
This functionality can be activated by defining the
"OrderGrid"
settings in the "ArticleGroup" of the WebshopSettings
and
placing the filter UI and result UI in the
LayoutSettings.
When the OrderGrid is in use and only one filter
option is available, this option will be automatically selected.
The possibility to display value icons in the
overview tile of an ArticleGroup has been added. The tile can
display icons linked to the property values of articles inside
the ArticleGroup. There's no limit to the amount of properties
that can be configured for this functionality.
When a user adds items to the basket, a setting
now determines user feedback. Previously a feedback pop-up was
presented. Now an alternative has been implemented, in which the
basket preview automatically opens (and closes after a few
seconds). This is the same preview as the one shown when
hovering the basket.
By default, related articles are defined on
article level. So, an specific product variant is related to a
product variant in another group. An example would be: this
drill bit is an accessory to this drilling machine. However, in
some cases relationships are needed om the article group level.
For instance, this t-shirt is a good fit with this trouser
(insted of: this red t-shirt, size M, is a good fit with this
trouser, grey, size 38). In order to easily define relationships
between article groups A and B, the shop now automatically
generates such a relationship when one single item in article
group A has a relationship with one single item in group B.
The quick order import through CSV assumes that
single units are ordered. However, some shops use different
packaging units. It has now been made possible to use other
packaging units in the Quick Ordering CSV, which the shop then
translates to regular units or any unit the shop uses as its
standard.
The shop offers the option to filter on possible
delivery dates. By default, filters dispappear when you visit an
article detail page (since you have found what you are looking
for). However, the selected date is something you still neeed
when ordering the article. Now, if you have selected a delivery
date in the filter options, the shop will remember the date and
preselect this delivery date when you visit an article detail
page
The grid can now hide prices and the order UI
when the prices are not being displayed as a result of the
WebshopSettings.
A new layout element has been added to the
layout language: PropertyCategoryTabs. This element describes
the property groups that have to be displayed as tabs on the
ArticleGroup page. The order in this list also dictates the
order in which the tabs will be displayed on the ArticleGroup
page.
In Shoxl shops, the layout of a page is set up
using a layout language. One of the constructs in this language
is the "PropertyCategory", which is used to categorize a set of
product properties. This set can then be postioned as a whole on
the page, and has its own class - which makes it essy to format
the items through CSS. This offers great flexibility for page
designs.
In this case, a problem has been solved in which a product property was classified in a sepecif properrty category, disappeared from the list of all product properties (which is as it should be), but did not appear in the propert category.
In this case, a problem has been solved in which a product property was classified in a sepecif properrty category, disappeared from the list of all product properties (which is as it should be), but did not appear in the propert category.
Due to a change in one of our WebServices
editing the order lists had developed some issues. This has been
fixed.
The display from the reset password page was
broken because of a previous change.
A preventive measure was implemented to prevent
a misconfiguration of Vendisto that lead to runtime errors.
A new and improved interface to Exact Globe is
now available. This interface uses the Shoxl REST API. Benefits
are an improved performance and even greater stability.
Smartlynx is a middleware layer from Anrova,
which consist of a number of endpoints that connect SAP Business
One to the outside world. Smartlynx is general purpose
layer, but also provides all data that is needed by a webshop -
and is able to consume the messages that a webshop products,
such as order messages.
To be able to connect to Smartlynx endpoints, an adapter has been developed that exposes the Shoxl REST interface to Smartlynx.

Various Optimizations in Article Import and
Sync, in order to handle larger volumes of data.:
- Prevented inmediate article synchronization when updating article authorization profiles in article import batch
- Solved bug that caused synchronization error when importing new articles
- Performance improvement when synchronizing assets at the start of the import. Assets are now synchronized in batches.
- Replaced duplicate batch code by new generic BatchWhereIn queryextension function.
- Solved bug that caused articles to by synchronized multiple times by passing on LanguageId to Articles synchronization in ArticleGroupSynchronizer
Fixed bug in the simplified article import that
was caused by a trailing space in the article group title.
Fixed an issue that caused grid filters to break
when navigating in Vendisto
september 2021
release 2021.09
In de september release lag de aandacht vooral op het account portal binnen de shop. Via dit portaal hebben debiteuren toegang tot hun informatie in het ERP-systeem. Dit account portaal is nu uitgebreid met een overzicht van lopende retouren cq retouraanvragen. Verder is nu instelbaar welke kolommen worden getoond in alle overzichten. Het eerste ERP-systeem waarvoor deze koppeling actief is is CS Wholesale van Centric.
The order overview list in the account menu had been made configurable. When configuring a shop the visibility and display order of the various columns can be set.
The backorder overview list in the account menu
had been made
configurable. When configuring a shop the visibility and display
order of the various
columns can be set.
The shop now has the possibility to display a
RMA overview. This
overview can be found in the account menu of a authorized
visitor.
The company name field is now hidden for
non-business customers when
supplying an alternative delivery address in the order process
Shoxl shops offer the option (if this setting
has been enabled) to order
articles directly from the article overview page. In some cases,
the quick order button
would be disbled until changing the amount to be ordered. This
has been fixed: the button is
now enabled by default.
In shoxl shops, products can be displayed in a pop-up (in order for prospects not to leave the products overview page). When ordering a product from this pop-up, and depending on settings, in some cases a message is shown asking the customer to choose between continuing shopping or go to the order basket. Pressing "continue shopping" closed the shopping cart dialog, but not the product display pop-up. This has now been improved. The customer now returns to the products overview page.
The form validation in the order process failed
when using the Google
address autosuggest.
Fixed bug in the simplified article import that
was caused by a trailing
space in the article group title.
Fixed an issue that caused grid filters to break
when navigating in
Vendisto
Changed filter options for grids to fix a few
bugs
augustus 2021
release 2021.08
In de augustus release zijn belangrijke nieuwe functies beschikbaar gekomen, zoals de mogelijkheid om (via de Google Places API) een check te doen op ingevoerde adressen. Daarnaast zijn de laatste kleine issues in de integratie met DeliveryMatch afgerond. DeliveryMatch handelt de integratie met de software van vervoerders af.
Aan de Vendisto kant heeft de focus gelegen op SettingsManager. Deze software maakt het centraal beheer van alle instellingen van alle opertionele shops mogelijk. Voorheen werd dit per shop geregeld, wat met het groeiende aantal shops echter niet meer doenbaar is. Het is de intentie om deze instellingsmogelijkheden op termijn ook toegankelijk te maken voor shopowners.
Het aantal cases op integratiegebied lijkt bescheiden, maar ook hier is een belangrijke stap gezet: onze software handelt nu ook complexere kortingsregels binnen SAP af.
It is now possible to automatically fill the address fields in the order process using an autosuggest search.
The core shop can now display external plugins via a newly implemented token system used to retrieve the information.
The article image can now optionally be shown in
the article selection
table. The image will be displayed in a small format to make
sure the table layout is kept
intact.
The possibility has been added to shield the entire shop from unauthorized visitors. This means that only the login page and the password reset page(s) will be accessible to non-authorized users.
User agent token is toegevoegd aan de Shoxl
Core. Bij elk Mollie request
zal deze als user agent mee worden gestuurd.
Changed the Russian and Spanish translations for 'excl. BTW' to be shorter.
In the previous release a new option was
implemented to display an
article count in the ArticleGroup overview tiles. This has now
been expanded with a settings
to enable or disable this information in the tile.
The volume discount display has been made
multi-currency enabling the
display of the volume discount in the currency being used in the
shop bij the user and not
just in the default currency.
Added a label specific to the volume discount
interface.
Some minor issues in the order logic have been
fixed, mostly occurring
when ordering using authentication profiles.
If one or more articles in a list didn't have a
price the price filter
for that overview would fail. This bug has been fixed.
The shop now support the Russian an Spanish
languages.
An error occurred when loading an articlegroup
overview with missing
prices for articlegroups.
DeliveryMatch does not return the available
delivery methods when an
api-call is initially made. Repeated calls are succesfull
however.
This behaviour was caused by a bug in the DM API, that occurred when the delivery address for which the available delivery methods were requested contained a space. This has been remediated.

1) For home delivery:
Delivery Method, delivery date and delivery time will now be display in the order summary step.
2) For pickup points:
The order summary will now display the pickup point in a correct way, without the 'unknown' delivery date. The houseNumber is added as well to the pickup address
3) Postmark emails have now access to the following fields:
"ShippingProviderInformation": {
"Carrier": "DPD",
"DeliveryDate": "woensdag 11 augustus 2021",
"DeliveryTimeFrom": "08:00",
"DeliveryTimeTo": "17:00"
}
In case of Pickup points only the carrier will be filled.
4) Postmark Paymentmethod has now a good translation:
"PaymentMethod": "Bij levering",
5) Postmark DeliveryMethod has now a good translation:
"DeliveryMethod": "Afhalen",
6) PostMark Shipment Costlines have now a good translation
"Type": "Verzendkosten",
7) Fixed a bug in the checkout. There was a possibility to skip the DeliveryMethod step. By bypassing that step you could order something without paying delivery costs
8) Fixed a bug in the checkout. If you press F5 in the checkout Delivery method step and proceed. The shop will crash.

The display logic for accumulative discounts was
flawed, resulting in
unwanted display of the accumulative discount information. This
issue has been fixed.
Changed the way the app splash screen works to
prevent stretching issues
The order button in a sale item thumbnail didn't
display in some cases
due to a bug in the model initialization. This bug has been
fixed.
The minimal order quantity did not function as
expected in some
configurations. The issue would be that the minimal order
quantity would be used a an order
step size so that visitors could only order multiples of the
minimum order quantity. So if
the minimum order quantity was 6 then only quantities of 6,
12,
18,
24 etc. would be
considered valid.
This logic has now been fixed. So for a minimum order quantity of 6 all quantities larger that 6 will be considered valid.
This logic has now been fixed. So for a minimum order quantity of 6 all quantities larger that 6 will be considered valid.
After selecting a Brand filter option all other
filters would be
disabled, this issue has been fixed.
The shop can show a “Pay now” button
at the very last step
of the order process (the “Thank you” page). In some
cases however, the button
was shown for payment methods for which direct payments are not
available or relevant, like
“Bank Transfer” if not handled by the PSP.
This logic has now been changed as follows. If a payment method is selected that is not processed by the selected PSP, or no payment option is offered: the Pay Now button will not be shown.
Non-PSP payment methods include:
This logic has now been changed as follows. If a payment method is selected that is not processed by the selected PSP, or no payment option is offered: the Pay Now button will not be shown.
Non-PSP payment methods include:
- Buy on Credit
- Cash on Pickup
- Cash on Delivery
- Bank Transfer, if the setting AllowPspBankTransfer is set to False.
Added a state selector to the article groups and
articles labels
exports.
Added the possibility to show and hide the
'display order boost' column
from the article groups grid.
Added rich text editor and image support to the
long description fild of
the setting data entity.
Added validation and error messages for the
settings classification node
selection in the setting create screen.
Fixed a bug where shops that had shop specific
values were not able to
be deleted.
Calculate order has been implemented in the
checkout flow. We now can
get Staffel discount from an ERP system in the checkout flow.
To be able to see the discount ánd the original price in the checkout flow we have to enable the setting ShowOriginalPriceAndDiscountPriceInCheckout
To be able to see the discount ánd the original price in the checkout flow we have to enable the setting ShowOriginalPriceAndDiscountPriceInCheckout
The active price period is now selected when
retrieving action pricelist
from Exact
Fixed bug that caused in some cases wrong price
for articles with
multiple volume discount lines in Exact online pricelist.
PriceList importer now removes pricelist records
of not imported
productnumbers in case of a full (not partial) ErpCache
PriceList import.
juli 2021
release 2021.07
De juli release omvat een fors aantal wijzigingen en verbeteringen aan de shop. Een aansprekende verbetering is de mogelijkheid om de toegang tot specifieke content paginas te beperken tot ingelogde gebruikers. Maar ook de veelheid van kleinere wijzigingen leidt tot een duidelijke verbetering van de gebruikerservaring. Daarnaast blijven we hier heel enthousiast over de vele mogelijkheden die de integratie met Zapier biedt - nu weer op het gebied van preprocessing van de transactionele emails die de shop verstuurt.
Op integratiegebied is zeker vermeldenswaardig dat de shop nu ook beschikt over een REST interface, naast de reeds bestaande SOAP interface.
Delivery costs that are returned by
DeliveryMatch should not
include/present VAT when the shop is configured ex VAT (as
determined by the setting
ShowPriceWithTax). This has now been corrected.
The new way of sending the order confirmation
mail via Vendisto lacked
some information like tax data.
All missing data has been added to the communicated model and is
now available for use in
the mail template.
VAT has been added to the order confirmation email.
The following columns are added / modified:
Example I
The price summary on the email has been changed as well. It contains now as well the VAT.
Example II
VAT has been added to the order confirmation email.
The following columns are added / modified:
Example I
| Prijs / unit (EUR) | Aantal | Prijs(EUR) | BTW(EUR) | Prijs met btw(EUR) |
| 6, 35 | 6 | 38, 1 | 9% (3, 43) | 41, 53 |
The price summary on the email has been changed as well. It contains now as well the VAT.
Example II
| Totaal (excl. BTW) | EUR | 117, 10 |
| Totaal BTW (9%) | EUR | 10, 45 |
| Totaal BTW (21%) | EUR | 0, 21 |
| Totaal | EUR | 127, 76 |
An ArticleGroup tile will now show the article
count, just like the
table view already did.
Pages can now be hidden behind behind the login,
so only authenticated
users can view the page. The page will be visible in the
navigations (if added), a click on
the link will result in a redirect to the login screen. This
option can be activated for any
page by clicking the "Secure page" option in Vendisto.
Added datepicker to list / table view for the
article group page, to
enable the selection of a delivery date for an order line when
using that view.
The Article Group Overview Page can be set to
use Tile View or List View
as its default. When Tile view is chosen as the default, a view
change by the webshop
visitor to List View resulted in the display of a wrongly
formatted page. This has been
corrected.
Classification levels can be used to filter
product collections. The use
case is to show alle products in say a "main" category, and then
filter the results using
the subcategories of that main category.
In some cases a bug caused this category filter to fail. This has been fixed.
In some cases a bug caused this category filter to fail. This has been fixed.
Changed text field for invoice country into
language dropdow in order to
avoid problems when interfacing with ERP systems.
Because Shipping Costs are mapped to a regular
article in Exact, they
are also included when re-ordering an order. This should not be
the case, they should be
calculated again when the order is placed.
Fixed a bug caused by resizing images. This
error caused webshops to not
display images.
Delivery costs will now be visible / calculated
even if someone enters 0
euro's in the settings.
The Postmark e-mail functionality in Vendisto
now has the possibility to
pre-process order data before sending it to Postmark. This
endpoint is optional.
An example of such usage is preprocessing by Zapier to sent mails to different sales offices, depending on the delivery address of a customer.
An example of such usage is preprocessing by Zapier to sent mails to different sales offices, depending on the delivery address of a customer.
Implemented retry mechanism for retrieval of
token that is needed for
communication with Exact online.
The Shoxl Webservice now supports a standard
REST connection to the ERP
system next to the existing SOAP interface.
Fixed a bug where the earning KPI box would not
show on the welcome page
juni 2021
release 2021.06
Vanaf de juni release is het mogelijk om externe templates in te zetten voor alle
transactionele mail die
de shop verzendt (wachtwoordwijzigingen, orderbevestigingen, etcetera).
Verder is het eenvoudiger geworden om custom formulieren die worden gemaakt met externe
editors in te
zetten ter vervanging van de standaard formulieren van de shop.
Op het gebied van integratie met ERP systemen is weer veel aandacht uitgegaan naar
integratie met de
diverse Exact varianten. Zo is het mogelijk geworden om in Exact aan te geven wat de
minimale
bestelhoeveelheden zijn per product,
en is een klein maar storend afrondingsverschil dat ontstond als gevolg van btw
berekeningen verholpen.
Transactional emails that used to be formatted
by the shop and then sent
by Postmark, are now using Postmark templates.
The order information is sent through
This had the added advantage that user-specific design issues are now isolated in templates, and do not pollute the standard Shoxl Core Shop Solution.
The following functionality has been added to the email functionality:
1) Based on the language/region, dots / commas are displayed with the amounts
2) Amounts are now rounded to 2 decimal places. 1.567 is shown as 1.57
3) Prices are now always shown with two decimal places. 1.5 becomes 1.50
4) The templates are now multi language.
5) The hyperlinks are now environment independent. So staging now points to staging and production to production
6) The template now also contains the field currency

It has been made possible to configure a custom
form for new customer
registration.
This is done by creating this form by any means, for instance by using a package such as mailchimp. Next, the form is embedded on a Page in the shop.
The only question that remains is: how to link the "Register" button on the Login page to this Page. This is done by creating a link in the resources file on the specific button class.
Although some configuration is involved, this creates great flexibility for creating custom registration forms. A nice example can be found here: https: //cobecopharma.com/nl/registratie

It is now possible to filter article on Delivery
Date on the search
pages / filter pages if delivery dates are imported per
article.
DeliveryDates are not imported anymore in the ERP cache, but from now on by the Shoxl Pro Xml importer.
DeliveryDates are not imported anymore in the ERP cache, but from now on by the Shoxl Pro Xml importer.
The Spanish and Russian languages are added tot
the Shoxl shop.
Fixed a bug that made the images be displayed in
the wrong size when
using Cloudflare.
The shop allows for a minimum order quantity to
be defined for an
article. When this quantity is set, the customer cannot order
less than the defined number
of articles.
The minimum order quantity is provided by the ERP system through the PriceList and CustomerPrice exports. However, Exact does not have a standard field in which a minimum order quantity is defined.
The Exact (Online) integration now looks for the freefield MinimumOrderQuantity on an article (item). When present, the information is used to fill the minimum order quantity in the export files.

Fixed bug that prevented net prices to be
exported to the ERP Cache for
customers with over 60 pricelists.
Pricelist export now supports pricelists with multiple price periods and exports the pricelist of the active period.
Pricelist export now supports pricelists with multiple price periods and exports the pricelist of the active period.
Increased precision on price fields in PriceList
and CustomerPrice
tables in ERP Cache in order to fix rounding difference on
shops.
Exchange rates to same currency are no longer
exported to ERP Cache in
order to solve problem with double export of prices.
Fixed a bug that enabled the user to change the
quantity ordered of an
article in the basket below the defined minimum quantity.
Customer import is now using case insensitive
comparison when validating
on double usernames.
The customer import requires user names to be unique. Because the validation is case sensitive, equal user names passed validation, causing the importer to crash. This has been fixed by making the validation case insensitive.

mei 2021
release 2021.05
De mei release biedt een aantal uitbreidingen op de shop. Een leuke nieuwe optie is de
mogelijkheid
om gewenste afleverdata direct in de winkelwagen aan te passen,
zodat niet terug hoeft te worden gegaan naar de artikeldetailpagina. En met de
toevoeging van de Spaanse
en Russische taalvarianten kunnen deze markten direct worden bediend.
Op het gebied van integratie met ERP systemen is de shop (of in feite de ERP cache)
uitgebreid met de
optie om geen gebruik meer te maken van wisselkoersen, maar om prijzen in elke valuta
apart op te geven.
Previously delivery dates could only be set on
productpage, and were
fixed in the basket. It has now become possible to change
delivery dates without leaving the
basket, so on the orderline.
A setting has been added to hide VAT in the
shopping cart dropdown. In
combination with other settings it is now possible to hide VAT
completely, as some shop
owners need.
The core shop now support progressive image
loading in the overviews.
This option can be enabled by setting the WebshopSetting
"UseProgressiveLoading" in the
Image settings to true.
Spanish and Russian are now available as default
language in the core
shop.
It has been made possible to display a logo on
the article detail page
in a non-ezbase shop. The logo can be added via the
LayoutSettings.
It is now possible again to filter on the
articlegroup page on Article
Properties. It did not work because the Article properties were
not indexed correctly.The
following has been changed: A new version of the ArticleIndex
has been created. A dynamic
field named: 'propertyvalue_' has been added which will contain
the Article properties
Fixed in bug in the quote mail communication: a
pickup location never
received an order copy.
The Veldmans Mobile App has been changed: The
connection to Raven has
been changed so it can do now more than 30 calls in one session
The ERP Cache already had support for multiple
currencies by importing
exchange rates for other currencies. It is now possible however
to import CustomerPrices and
PriceLists in multiple currencies in the ERP Cache without the
use of exchange rates. In
this case the calculation is no longer made in the ERP Cache but
in the ERP itself.
april 2021
release 2021.04
In de Shoxl april release is binnen de shop de mogelijkheid beschikbaar gekomen om meerdere
standaard
orderlijsten te creëren, die vervolgens met één klik in de
winkelwagen kunnen worden
geplaatst.
Deze lijsten kunnen zowel door de shop eigenaar als door de bezoeker worden aangemaakt.
Ook is gewerkt
aan
diverse performance verbeteringen.
Op het gebied van integraties is gewerkt aan uitbreiding van de faciliteiten om Order
Documenten op te
slaan in
de ERP Cache, de laag tussen het ERP systeem en de shop.
Voor Vendisto is deze maand weinig te melden. Er wordt volop gewerkt aan de Visual
Editor (dynamische
items). De
verwachting is dat deze nieuwe bouwblokken in mei of uiterlijk juni algemeen beschikbaar
zullen komen.
A much requested feature is now available: the
option to create multiple
lists of
products that a customer can maintain him/herself and add to the
shopping basked in one
click.
The option is available for logged-in users. When it is enabled, the user gets the option to create, edit and delete lists. A list can contain an unlimited number of articles. These articles can be ordered from this list individually or grouped.
The shop owner has the possibility to add, edit and delete order lists from all customers from Vendisto. There's also a new import option enabling the shop owner to import new lists.

When items are on sale, the favourite list did
nog show the special
offer price (but
the regular price instead). This issue has been resolved.
The UI for related articles would not be
entirely hidden if no active
articles where
present in the related articles collection. This has been fixed.
Some structured product data markup needed by
the Google (and other)
crawlers has
been changed. We now use https instead of http. Furthermore,
itemprop=offers was missing and
has been
added.
It is now possible to view photo's that are
attached to orders in the
order history
view of the account portal.
The article group overview page loaded each
price individually, instead
of doing a
bulk request. This resulted in poor performance for large pages
with many article groups.
The
implementation has now been changed: alle prices on article
group overview pages are now
requested in
bulk, so only one call to the ERP system is needed.
A setting has been added to hide VAT in the
shopping cart dropdown. In
combination
with other settings it is now possible to hide VAT completely,
as some shop owners need.
The option to put a label on top of and image
(e.g.,
30% discount) has
been
improved.
Resized PNG images will now remain PNG images and will retain their transparency.
The option has been added to define a label for a specific article. The previous implementation only allowed labels on article groups (so on all articles within this article group).

A bug has been fixed in the favorites list that
prevented the article
prices from
being loaded.
The timing for loading of the basket and usermenu in the header has been changed to gain a small improvement in load times.
The timing for loading of the basket and usermenu in the header has been changed to gain a small improvement in load times.
The shop's webservice backend now supports an
extra function to disclose
order
documents from the ERP if the connector supports this feature.
ERP Cache importer now supports ERPCache
OrderDocument format.
Exact batchinterface is now able to export of
photo's that are attached
to orders in
Exact in XML file that is structured according to the ErpCache
OrderDocument format.
The move to Vendisto.net as the standard domain
for staging environments
has created
some redirect issues. The web.config for the Vendisto website
can now make a distinction
between
vendisto.net domains and other domains. This prevents redirect
loops when using the
vendisto.net domain.
The order line overview page within Vendisto did
not show prices. This
bug has been
resolved.
An issue has been resolved that caused
Orderlines in Vendisto to show
the gross
price and not the customer price
maart 2021
release 2021.03
Een belangrijke nieuwe functionaliteit in de maart release is de mogelijkheid om downloads op
te voeren
voor
groepen van gebruikers of individuele gebruikers. Deze bestanden zijn vervolgens te
vinden in het
klantenportaal.
Op het gebied van ERP integratie is vooral gewerkt aan de Exact Online interface. In de

Binnen Vendisto is gewerkt aan opwindende nieuwe mogelijkheden waarmee dynamische
content kan worden
toegevoegd
aan het content canvas. Dit maakt het mogelijk om op gebruiksvriendelijke wijze
producten,
nieuwsberichten en
wiki-items te plaatsen op shoppagina's.
Products can be marked as quotation products,
meaning that they cannot
be bought
directly but the customer has to contact the webshop for a
price. For these products, an Ask
Quotation
button is shown on the article detail page. Prices can be hidden
or the Manufacturer
Suggested Retail
Price can be shown.
For known debtors, these products can have a customer-specific price. However, since these products are marked as quotation products, logged-in users were not able to add them to the shopping basket.
This has now been changed. A webshop owner can choose whether quotation products can be ordered by known debtors, or not.

It is now possible to upload files in Vendisto,
that can be made
available to all
users or to a set of specific users. These files are then
available through the Customer
Portal. This
function can be used to, for example, provide users with
user-specific downloadable
pricelists.
The Exact batch interface supports export of

Fixed security issue in invoice download.
The echoservice can now be used by our
monitoring software to check if
the Shoxl
webservice is available.
The Visual Editor is being extended with
multiple dynamic blocks. Using
these
blocks, items such as product items/lists, news items/lists and
wiki items/lists can be
placed on the
canvas. Underneath the surface, this is then translated in a
dynamic tag that is sent to the
shop page.
These tags can also be written by hand. Using these new
function, dynamic pages can be build
by
non-technical users. The functions will become gradually
available. The work is expected to
be fully
finished in release 2021.06.
In this release, the dynamic blocks for Product Items and Product Lists are available for selected users for beta testing.

februari 2021
release 2021.02
In de februari release zijn enkele kleine functionele verbeteringen beschikbaar gekomen,
zoals de mogelijkheid om te specificeren wat de positionering van landen moet zijn in de
dropdown in de
checkout
flow.
Ook enkele problemen die konden optreden bij internationaal gebruik van een shops zijn
verholpen.
Aan de integratiekant is veel aandacht uitgegaan naar het verbeteren van de efficiency
van
data-uitwisseling.
Zo is een formaat ontwikkeld om leverdata-schema's per product per klant te kunnen
importeren,
zodat klanten op hun eigen kalendertje kunnen zien wanneer bepaalde versproducten
geleverd kunnen
worden.
The country selection in the order process has
been improved. It is now
possible
to move a selection of countries to the top of the list in the
dropdown. The rest of the
countries will
be displayed below these preferred countries and will be
displayed below a separator.
Furthermore, the
possibility to display country names in the language used in the
shop has been added.
Previously this
was limited to one language, English.
Countries shown in a drop down in the order
process will now by default
be shown
in alphabetical order by display name.
The steps displayed in the top of the screen
during the order process
have been
made more flexible. This has been done to enable more layout
options and cleaner HTML.
Fixed bug in filtering that in some cases was
leading to empty result
lists
Fixed a bug that caused a visitor from a
timezone different from the
server
timezone to select a preferred delivery date.
Fixed bug that occurred on pages with downloads
section
Due to a logic bug the label that can be put on
top of product images,
for example
to show that an item is a Sale Item, was not always available.
This has been fixed.
A new webshop settings has been created. This
settings contains a list
of units.
When the unit of a Packaging property is present in this list
the packaging calculation will
not be
performed and the normal ordering logic will be used.
The ErpCache Product Delivery Scheme interface
was changed so that it is
now
required to add a DeliverySchemeCode to the DeliveryScheme of a
product. Also the ErpCache
Customer
import was changed in order to add a corresponding
DeliverySchemeCode to the Customer.
This solution makes it possible to define different delivery dates for different customers for the same productnumber.

AutomaticShopImporter now stores failed import
files in a separate
folder. This
speeds up the process analysing the failed imports.

It is now possible to add an article number for
delivery costs. This
(external)
article number can be used for the ERP system to connect the
costline to a product.
The following setting has been introduced:
1) Price.ExternalArticleNumber (This number will be used if you are not using price regions for your shipments)
2) Price.RegionalDeliveryCosts[x ].ExternalArticleNumber (If you are using price regions. You can setup a separate external article number per region. So the costline can be connected to different products in the ERP)

properties, VAT rates,
assets, and
authorization profiles when the respective column in the import
was left empty.
januari 2021
release 2021.01
Mooie nieuwe shopfuncties deze maand! Er is onder meer een koppeling gerealiseerd met
DeliveryMatch, een
krachtige oplossing voor koppeling aan de logistieke systemen van vervoerders.
Verder is aandacht besteed aan BTW afhandeling bij wereldwijde verzending.
In Vendisto is het nu mogelijk om aan te geven welke producten onderdeel moeten zijn van
een
productfeed,
bijvoorbeeld voor koppeling met Channable.
Qua integraties is in januari vooral aandacht besteed aan kleine issues die konden
optreden in de
koppeling naar Exact, en in zeldzame gevallen als het opvoeren van orders met honderden
orderregels.

The webshop can now connect to Delivery Match.
To activate an external Delivery service we have to set the following setting to '1'
DeliverySettings\DeliveryCostsMode = 1
When connecting to an external delivery service, the webshop gives the following functionality to change the webshop behavior:
DeliverySettings options:
--------------------------------
1) DeliverySettings\FinalizeShipment = true / false (Default = false)
When set to true the webshop will finalize the shipment instead of the ERP software. Normally the ERP will complete the shipment
3) DeliverySettings\CheckConsistencyShipmentBeforeCreatingOrder = true / false (Default = true)
Checks if the basket contains the same items as has been entered in the shipment. So we check if somebody alters the basket after the shipment has been made. If the basket has been changed. The shop will redirect you to the choice shipment step
4) DeliverySettings\TaxIsIncluded = true / false (Default = false)
If set to false, the shop still needs to add tax to the returned price from the delivery service.
OrderUnitsSettings options:
-------------------------------------
To be able to work with an external delivery provider. We need to at least the following settings, those settings will be used to match product properties like weight, length, etc.:

release 2021.07
Een korte maand, met alle feestdagen - maar toch is ons productontwikkelteam er weer in
geslaagd om goede
voortgang te boeken, vooral op het gebied van kwaliteitsverbetering.
U merkt er wellicht niet zoveel van, maar dat is juist de bedoeling. Geen wijzigingen op
Vendisto
echter, deze
maand.

corrupt image would result in an unfound image in the shop. This
would remain visible until
the article
would be changed and the caching on the barcode image would be
triggered to build a new
image, This issue
has been improved upon so that a corrupt image will nog stay in
the caching.
The properties tab button would be displayed
even if no properties were
available,
this has been fixed.

would result in a
server error when
attempting to render the barcode for an article without a GTIN
value.
A bug in the display settings for the customer
type options in the
customer
registration form has been set. It was no longer possible to
display a business type only
form.
Added the configuration of a PriceUnitType to
the Exact Batch
Interface.
PriceUnitType BaseUnit takes the active itemprice with the highest unitfactor and recalculates the price to a price per base unit. The minimumorderquantitity is then set to the unitfactor of the itemprice. This will enable the shop to show the price per individual item. The customer can only buy items in amounts that are based on the number of items contained in the package.
PriceUnitType PackageUnit takes the active itemprice with the highest unitfactor and keeps the unit of this itemprice with a minumumorderquantity of 1. This will enable the shop to show the price of the package and te customer to select the number of packages we wants to order.
PriceLists, CustomerPrices and DiscountPrices are also recalculated based on PriceUnitType.

Exact
Fixed bug that caused Exact batch interface to
export customer addresses
with legacy
element names for addreslines.
The price importer contained 2 bugs. The first
bug was an exception
occurring when
an article couldn't be found in the target database, causing the
import to fail. The second
bug was the
fact that the article asset synchronization was being triggered
by the price import while
this is not
needed in this case. Both issues have been fixed.
An option has been added that enables the
classification of properties
into several
categories (1 per property). To make this possible a new module
has been added that enables
the management
of the categories. A category can be created, edited and
removed. It's also possible to
change the
position of the categorie in the list in Vendisto. This position
is reflected in ShoxlPro by
the order in
which the lists of properties are displayed. A category can be
connected to a property by
selecting it in
a dropdown in the property detail page in the properties module.
New-Product webhook added! This hook is
triggered on simplified article
import for
each new product.
Vendisto now has a new pricing system enabling
simpler price management.
New in this
implementation is the option to add customers to a price group
that enables a default
discount percentage
for all the articles available to the customer.
Case 69020: added possibility to authenticate
also with x-api-key header
Data pool fields are no longer editable in the
user interface
The data pool fields can be added to an export
sheet only if the shop is
externally
populated and the used has selected the "Include datapool
labels" option when exporting
Added a new section in Vendisto, where publicly
servable files can be
uploaded and
managed.
Adding overlapping items has been limited to one
of a type. This means
that Image
Blocks can still have an overlapping Text item or an overlapping
Button item, or both.
However, trying to
add a second Text or Button, respectively, will not produce any
changes. The action of
adding overlapping
items is still in the Image Block settings
In order not to confuse users about how much
columns are there in a Row,
Rows will
no longer change their width when the "Full-width" option
changes value. To see how the page
will look
like on the webshop, click on the "Preview" option at the
top-menu of the Editor
Rows that are hidden or not accessible for the
selected authorization
profile will
be grayed-out.
The process of hiding rows remains the same. The process of adding/removing authorization profiles also remains the same.
To see how the page will look in the webshop, select the "Preview" option from the Editor top-menu. Grayed-out Rows will become invisible.

Users can now use the Image Block settings to
add images in addition to
double-clicking the Block itself.
The "Add Image" button can be accessed by selecting an Image Block and clicking on "Component Settings" in the side menu
The "Add Image" button can be accessed by selecting an Image Block and clicking on "Component Settings" in the side menu
Users can now use URLs instead of searching for
the Video ID when trying
to add
videos. Supported providers are YouTube and Vimeo.
The URLs should be valid and lead and lead to an existing video. Otherwise, the player will display a warning message accordingly.
The video will assume its provider automatically and update its settings appropriately.

When editing a feed mapping line, the feed name
disappeared. This has
been fixed.
Instead of needing to double-click a Text Block
in order to edit it, it
will now
require only a single-click. This was perceived as more
intuitive and user-friendly
Users can now directly start typing once they
add a Text Block. The
added Block will
be highlighted and the Rich Text Toolbar will appear.
The process of adding Text Blocks has not been changed.
The process of adding Text Blocks has not been changed.
Data pool fields can now be populated only by an
external import
When importing article groups for non externally
populated shops, the
normal title
will be used to match the importing records with those already
in Vendisto
Fixud a bug where datapool fields were geting
exported, rather than the
regular
fields the translations import/export
september 2020
release 2020.09
De september release omvat voor Vendisto een interface met Channable, en diverse faciliteiten voor een flexibele definitie daarvan. Verder is veel aandacht besteed aan het opschonen van prijsmanagement en BTW tarieven. Highlights op integratie vlak zijn een verbeterde integratie met Exact Online en AGP. Aan shop-zijde zijn vooral diverse problemen in het bestelproces verholpen, die zich konden voordoen in specifieke uitzonderingssituaties.
A new header menu has been implemented. The new
menu will be displayed
in the website header and will display all the root categories
in a bar with a fold-out menu
while hovering over these items. This fold-out menu contains the
child items and their
children in a list type display.
A bug has been fixed which prevented correct
functioning of the Account
Activation page.
A bug which prevented alternative deliver
adresses to be shown, has been
solved
A bug has been fixed that caused an error page
when searching while
logged in as a user with UserRestrictedArticleLists attached.
Fixed in bug in the logic determining what
restricted order lists a user
is connected to.
The mobile shop has been updated to the latest
ShoxlPro core version.
Some improvements have been made in the communication of
messages to the app user.
A bug has been fixed in the order process that
in some cases prevented a
logged in user to place an order when using
UserRestrictedOrderLists.
68872:Authorizations: Company Restricted Article Lists not automatically propagated to Company Users
A user that has no UserRestictedArticleList(s)
attached to his/her
account will not automatically have access to all
UserRestrictedArticleLists that are
available to the customer the user belongs to.
An order for a passerby customers is now fully
mapped to a new created
customer account in Exact.
The interface to Exact Online now uses the Shoxl
API key instead of a
customer key. Furthermore, several changes have been made to the
Exact batch interface
parts: Delivery Costs are now optional, classification of the
Delivery Account can now be
specified, and Outlet/Sale price functions are now set per Shoxl
shop user.
A bug has been resolved which prevented the
import of
ProfileRestrictedProduct files. These files describe for each
authorization profile which
products should be shown in the default product list that a
customer with such a profile
sees in the customer portal, after logging in.
Shortcomings of the feed response fixed. Image
link is still under
discussion.
The new UI for the product feed settings is more
intuitive. It has two
columns to choose product feed setting value. One is called
Setting value where you specify
the value of the setting with plain text. The other is called
Product property where you can
select to map a already existing product property value to the
product feed setting value
Column is renamed to Product Property for better
understanding.
The feed can be requested via two separate
requests depending on the
desired feed format response. There is one for XML and one for
JSON. The request structure
can be found in the Swagger APi Documentation.
Fixed a bug where an error message would appear
when an article is
selected for an orderline
Fixed a bug where when the user right section is
not enabled for a
Vendisto customer, users could not be saved.
Fixed a bug where the VAT rate for an article
will not be updated in the
performance database.
Article importers speed optimization by changing
the queries
The orderline price per unit gets automatically
populated when an
article is selected
Creating VAT rate for a country with no rates
will automatically make it
default and assign it to all article groups.
Changed article price information labels
Changed the information text on the order line
pricing information
section
The price list price for an article now uses the
debtor number for
customer identification, rather than the username of its users.
The XML that is sent on the Order Confirmation
Event was not formatted
properly in the message body. This has been corrected.
Users will not be able to have more than 12
Cells in a Row. A
placeholder will not be shown when hovering over such Rows.
Users can safely add videos, being sure they
will be displayed
accordingly in their webshop
Users can now safely use the "Delete" keyboard
button to delete Blocks
from the Editor
augustu 2020
release 2020.12
Highlights van de augustus release zijn de uitgebreidere ondersteuning voor het bestellen in diverse verpakkingseenheden, en in Vendisto de nieuwe facilteiten voor het beheer van BTW tarieven en de uitbreidingen van de Vendisto API met diverse REST hooks. Ook is op de achtergrond veel werk verricht aan updates aan de Shoxl infrastructuur. Niet direct heel interessant vanuit functioneel oogpunt, maar zeker wel vanuit de verhoogde betrouwbaarheid en de snelheidswinst die hiermee is geboekt.
ShoxlPro can now work with several packaging
units. This means that the
shop can be
enabled to allow ordering by several units. For example: an
article can be ordered bij
"Commercial Unit (a
box of articles), a pallet layer (several "Commercial Units") or
a pallet (several pallet
layers).
When ordering one of these packaging units into the basket the number of ordered articles will be shown because all price information works on a per article basis.
The packaging units in use and their values for a specific article can be defined in de article properties. What property is used for what packaging unit is defined in the webshop settings.
It is not mandatory to use all 3 packaging units, it is possible to use just 1 or 2.
An additional option to this is the display of weight and volume per article in the basket and for the basket as a whole. The properties needed to calculate this can be stored in the article properties and the webshop settings again define what property to use for weight and volume. This information will be displayed in the basket, the order process and in the order confirmation mail.

Added the data-attribute
'data-stockmessage-targetid' to each order
view, so that
each order view displays a message when the user tries to order
an amount higher than the
current
available stock. Also moved the order feedback components to a
separate div.
A new option has been added enabling the removal
of duplicate items in
the main
menu. These duplicate items are caused by classification nodes
containing only 1 child
automatically
redirecting to this child. This option is by default disabled.
The order confirmation mail generated with the
new layout now has the
possibility to
display an image for articles on each order line.
Fixed bug in import of ErpCache Orderhistory
that caused the Vatcode to
be imported
with a wrong value
A new way to determine what the homepage for a
webshop is has been
implemented. This
enables the possibility to set a page using the new "PageEditor"
template as the homepage.
A new module has been added that allow users to
specify VAT rates per
region. These
rates are now set in the section Settings / VAT rates.
VAT rates for a region will be automatically applied to all existing and new articles that do not yet have a VAT rate for that region. These products will then get the default rate for the region. If applicable another VAT rate may be chosen at the product level.
It is assumed that all variants of a product (articles of an article group) have the same VAT rate. It is therefore defined at the product (article group) level, not at the variant/article level.

A module has become available for the creation
and management of tokens
that are
used by external applications when authenticating to the
Vendisto API.
New REST hooks give you the ability to subscribe
and unsubscribe to
certain event
types - new order, new customer and new news item. When you
subscribe you make a POST
request to the
Vendisto API and provide the hook url (to which we will send the
data when the event occurs)
and the event
type (New_Order, New_Customer, New_NewsItem).
For authentication purposes a token can be generated on the Application Management page in the Settings of Vendisto. Each request to the API must consist of Authorization header with value - Bearer + space + token.
For authentication purposes a token can be generated on the Application Management page in the Settings of Vendisto. Each request to the API must consist of Authorization header with value - Bearer + space + token.
Vendisto is now capable of sending a
JSON-formatted message to an
endpoint, as
specified in the Document Settings section, on Confirmation of
an Order.
A setting has been introduced that defines
whether product data
originates from an
external source. When this is the case, a button will be shown
on the Product screen ,
section
Description, that triggers the visibility of the fields that
show the imported data. These
fields are
called "Original Title" and "Original Description
Header/Footer".
The shop will use the Title, Description Header and Description Footer fields. Initially, these fields will be set to the imported data, so equal the Original field values. They may be changed by the user however.

The article group import/export has been
extended with VAT rates for
each country.
So the number of columns is the same as the number of countries.
These columns are not
required. Each cell
contains the applicable VAT rate for that article in the country
specified in the head.
The buttons Ask a Question and User Manual on
the Vendisto homepage now
link to the
Contact Page and the User Manual on the Shoxl site,
respectively.
A bug has been repaired that prevented the
"Back" button in the Vendisto
customers
section from working correctly.
Release 2020.07 (juli 2020)
In de Juli release is veel aandacht besteed aan het doorvoeren van verbeteringen in de Shoxl Scan App - de App waarmee u snel winkelmandjes samenstelt door barcodes te scannen. Verder zijn diverse uitbreidingen in de Drag & Drop page editor beschikbaar gekomen.
A scan of a barcode could results in more
thanone find, because the
search function also looked for the scanned GTIN in other fields
such as the description
field. For this reason the search and barcode scan functionality
has been changed. The
general search in the top of the app still works as before. The
quick order in the basket
and by extension the search function underlying the barcode scan
has been changed. It will
first attempt to find an article based on article number or
GTIN, if this is unsuccessfully
it will revert to the basic search functionality as described
above.
The default configuration of the scan app has
been changed to make sure
that only secure call (HTTPS) are being made.
When switching users the values that had been
entered in the field
"Project number" and "Remarks" in the order process would be
carried over to the new user.
This is not a desired feature and has been changed by emptying
the field when switching
users.
Error messages originating from the search,
quick order and scan
functionality would get "stuck", meaning they where never hidden
after display. This has
been fixed. We have also implemented a new more user friendly
way of displaying error
messages.
We fixed a bug where a user after logging in
from an article detail page
would be confronted with a totally grey content pane in the scan
app.
Introduced new setting
"DisplayCustomerSelectedArticleProperties"
(boolean). If set to true, all properties that are specified in
CustomerSelectedArticleProperties will be displayed in a
separate group/block.
The properties specified in CustomerSelectedArticleProperties
have higher precedence than
normal properties of an article. So properties specified in
CustomerSelectedArticleProperties will not be displayed in the
normal property list of an
article.
The CustomerSelectedArticleProperties contains a list of header
id's. Optional, a css class
name for this property can be specified. If no css class name
for a property is specified,
then an index will be used as css class name.
"The article property table can now be ordered
in the order specified in
Vendisto Properties. The order as specified in the article
import will then be ignored.
The setting can be activated by adding a setting
UseHeaderCollectionOrderingForTheArticlePropertiesTable with
value = true."
The text displayed in de CSV quick order
userinterface is now presented
in the HTML format, enabling more elaborate layout options. The
text is set in the resources
table.
The article name in the favorites list can now
optionally be wrapped in
an anchor element.
A new setting has been added that will disable
all order options in the
favorites list when set to true.
"When trying to change slides on a carousel in
the shop, an error was
thrown.
This was caused by the carousel arrows having an invalid "href"
attribute. The href was
changed to point to the carousel ID, as in Bootstrap 3's
documentation"
A bug has been fixed that caused the shop to
return a server error (500)
instead of a 404 error when handling an url leading to a
category, articlegroup or article
with a suspended lifetimestate.
Fixed a bug that caused the article price
information not to be
retrieved correctly.
The articles in the CategorySlider where being
displayed in an incorrect
order, this has been fixed.
Disabled automatic formatting of XML files that
are converted to Zip
format in order to solve a problem that was caused by the
formatting.
Orders from new customers can now result in the
automatic creation of a
new debtor in Exact, instead of being attached to a general
collective debtor number for
small customers.
An additional web hook event has been
introduced. This is the
New_Product hook event which sends the new articles from
simplified article import.
66390 Page Editor: components now take full
width of container (no
padding)
Padding on some components was causing confusion about the component positioning. The paddings are now consistent and should be a closer match to end-user expectations
66305 Page Editor: All slides should have the size of the biggest image
Carousel was constantly switching height because placeholders had a fixed height independent of the images placed in the carousel. The behaviour was updated, so that placeholders have the same height as the highest image in the carousel. This should be more consistent with user expectations, especially if users fill the carousel with images having the same height
66304 Page Editor: Add hyperlink, alt for images/slides
The carousel component was capable of adding/removing images only. Images in the carousel can now point to a particular hyperlink (added from the side menu) or have an alt text (added from the image browser dialog)
66312 Page Editor: 12 col container that does not stretch the full-width
Previously, users had the option to place rows that span to the full width of a page only. Now they can make use of the container and container-fluid Bootstrap classes. By setting an option in the Row side menu, the selected Row will either occupy a fixed width (changing per device) or span the full width of the screen
66310 Page Editor: Change list element template and settings
List and item blocks now render a placeholder when dropped on the canvas. Furthermore it is now possible to specify the type of item that is to be rendered (product, news, wiki).
66591 Page Editor: Placeholders in shop for missing images
Image components without an image were displaying a placeholder in the editor, but as a missing image in the shop. Placeholders are now made available in the shop as well
65344 Page Editor: Hiding/showing content depending on device size
Bootstrap provides utility classes which enable users to hide HTML elements for different device sizes. Users can hide Rows by clicking on the crossed eye icon in the Row toolbar. Hidden rows can then be viewed by clicking on the same icon in the editor top bar
66998 Page Editor: Changing an image does not update site
Changing images (or other properties) should update site
66996 Page Editor: Label PageEditor positioned on top of image upload dialog
The upload dialog covers everything on the page
66315 Page Editor: Responsive height is lost on duplicate/move
Carousel slides and images should resize to keep the aspect ratio of the selected image. The behaviour was breaking when moving or duplicating components. Both now preserve their height even when moved or duplicated.

Release 2020.06 (juni 2020)
In juni is de eerste versie van onze volledig vernieuwde PageEditor beschikbaar gekomen. Met deze editor kunnen volledig responsive pagina's worden samengesteld via "drag-and-drop" van blokken. In komende releases zal de editor nog verder worden uitgebreid met nieuwe contenttypes.
A new "PageEditor template has been created in
Vendisto and is now
available for use in
ShoxlPro. This editor gives total page layout freedom.
A totally revamped editor allows our users to build content in a more visual way, by dragging/dropping components. The resulting page is fully responsive (uses the Bootstrap framework).
The first version of the editor supports a limited number of building blocks. This set will be extended in the near future.
The editor can be activated by selecting the template "PageEditor" at creation time of a page.

The editor can be activated by selecting the template "PageEditor" at creation time of a page.
All images in the ShoxlPro shops can now be
served via Cloudflare CDN.
This means a decrease in page
load times and better security when it comes to attacks. This
feature is optional. It
requires the
shop to be configured to use the caching layer. The feature
requires a subscription.
The shop now shows both original and discounted
gross prices, based on
gross pricelists that are
maintained in the ERP system.
The capability to shows customer-specific price lists (discounts) is also still available. It is thus possible to show, for a specific article, the original price, the discounted price, a customer-specific price, and if applicable also pricing discount based on volume.
Technical background: Implemented outlet and action pricelists to be exported as discount prices in brutopricelist, ERP Cache pricelist and ERP Cache customer prices for Exact batch interface.

"The new "PageEditor" template content will
always be shown at full
page-width (100%). This allows
users to create banners/wows that span a whole page. Content
that needs left/right
whitespace must
now be placed in a container.
Please note that this also requires a change of the CSS used for the shop; otherwise, standard bootstrap behaviour will result in a small amount of whitespace to the left and right of the row content."
Please note that this also requires a change of the CSS used for the shop; otherwise, standard bootstrap behaviour will result in a small amount of whitespace to the left and right of the row content."
The PageEditor template offers the option to
specify which users can
view the row content. This
works on the row level, e.g.: the user will either see all
content in all cells (columns) in
a row,
or the user will not see the row at all. Both rows and users are
added to one or more
authorization
groups. The user sees all rows that are visible for the
authorization profiles the user has
been
added to.
The order confirmation mail can now show product
images. The images will
be shown in the order
confirmation mail by default en can optionally be disabled by
the mail styling.
An articlegroup search result sometimes
displayed the article image
instead of the articlegroup
image. This has been fixed. The articlegroup search result will
now always display the image
belonging to the articlegroup. If the articlegroup doesn't
contain any images an article
image will
be used.
Vendisto instances that get data from an
external datapool (such as
EZ-Base, IceCAT or 2BA) show for
relevant fields both datapool product data and the product data
that has been modified by
the user.
The button that shows/hides the product datapool data for a specific user is now only visible for Vendisto instances that are actually connected to a datapool.
The button that shows/hides the product datapool data for a specific user is now only visible for Vendisto instances that are actually connected to a datapool.
For a better "what-you-see-is-what-you-get"
experience Vendisto
content editors now use the same
styling as applied in the shop itself. The CSS to be used can be
specified in Vendisto
(Settings/Vendisto/Page editor external styling).
Images that are uploaded in the Vendisto editor now get the "img-responsive" class. Previously this class was only applied at page rendering by the shop. By adding the class to images in the editor we ensure that they are equal to the cell width here too.

Optimized import of WebShop XML files. The
import now compares articles
with the previous import and
skips them if they are unchanged.
It is now possible to sum product stock in
multiple warehouses, in order
to show total
stock.
Technical background: Shoxl Webservice using ErpCache Connector now retrieves new Stock table data in GetProductInformations function. Old location of stock data is used for legacy installations. ERP Cache Stock import now supports stock per WarehouseId. Stock is imported in new table named Stock. For legacy purposes the old stock field is preserved.

A cashback overview has been created which is
accessible from the user
portal and via the user menu.
The cashback overview will show the cashback, the cumulative
sales volume and the date until
which
it is calculated.
The Cashback overview can be enabled via the website settings

It is now possible in the order confirmation
email to override the
Articlenumber from a orderline by
an Article property
Technical explanation:
To be able to override the article number by an other article property you should setup two properties:
1) OverrideArticleNumberWithCustomerArticleNumber: true
2) CustomerArticleNumberArticlePropertyName: "[PropertName]"
The second property will be used to match with the Article Property list node. So if [ProperryName ] is called 'CustomerArticleNumber'
The linked articles should have property field named: CustomerArticleNumber
And the value of this property field will be used to be overriden in the order confirmation email.
