  2. New options and New Couriers! 🐣

    New Feature
    Announcement

    Hey everyone! SYN Team back at it again, with a brand new Premium option for our Skroutz XML Feed.

     

    The new option name is "Handling discounted prices" and it's there in case you need two fields for your product's prices: the original price and the discounted price.

    If a product has the price and compare at price properties filled in the variants, then in the XML feed the price_with_vat field will be the product price and the compare_at_price will be the product compare at price.

    If however, the product has just the price filled and no compare at price, both the price_with_vat and compare_at_price in the XML will be the product price.

     

    As for the courier voucher creators, new things are coming so stay in tuned! We are making sure we have covered the courier companies with the widest networks before we finally release them. If however, you need a solution for a courier company right away, send us a proposal at syn@think-plus.gr.

     

    From the SYN team, have a Happy Easter and we will be back on Tuesday, April 18!

  3. Custom Solutions for your XML needs

    Announcement

    We have received many new requests for our XML applications, concerning customizations through product and variant metafields.

    Rest assured that we are more than capable of working together with you to create solutions for your store's XML feed based on pretty much any attributes that come along with your Shopify products!

    Simply send us a proposal at syn@think-plus.gr or fill our contact form with the details of your request.

  4. SYN Apps - The Current Overview

    Announcement

    Hey there! Thank you for your trust in our applications, as well as the constant requests we are getting for custom integrations. As a team, we are always striving to present our clients with tailor-made solutions, to help them grow in their own way.

        Our  Skroutz XML Feed app provides you with a one-click ready feed to jumpstart your Skroutz marketplace in an instant. It's also a general XML format that you can use for many other marketplaces and price comparison websites (a lot of our clients are already doing that!). Of course, if you need a different, more custom experience, we can provide you with feeds for Google, Facebook (Meta), Shopflix, eMAG and many other marketplaces.

    Our Glami XML Feed (official application for Glami) gives you the same reliability, as well as prestructured code snippets to include the Glami Pixel in your Shopify store.

    Both XML Feed apps come with Premium Versions, full of options that let you customize your feed further to your needs. Contact us for a free trial!

    Our BoxNow app gives you a handy dashboard to view your orders and issue your vouchers for BoxNow parcels.

    Stay tuned for big things coming up on the SYN apps... New courier integrations, new ideas for the XML Feeds and much more!

     

    Stay SYN 🧡

  7. Skroutz XML Feed: Additional Images & Express Delivery

    Announcement
    Improvement

    Hey there! We've received a lot of messages from you concerning the Skroutz XML Feed app. The general question is this:

     

    "Skroutz is taking down my products that only have a single image in the XML. How can I fix this?"

    In the Premium tab, we have added a checkbox option called "Additional Images". By ticking the checkbox and then saving your options (which also builds your XML again), you are going to see new fields appear in the products of your XML file, containing the additional images of your Shopify products.

    For this feature, you need the Premium version of the app. Send us an email on syn@think-plus.gr if you want us to give you a free 2 month trial!

    Be careful, if you have multiple colors as well as sizes for options in your products, this might not work properly. Wrong color images might be matched to other image variants in the XML feed, since on Shopify we only know the main image of every variant.

     

    Another issue or general question comes from a new availability option that Skroutz has added, called "Άμεσα διαθέσιμο" or "In stock". This option refers to products that are "available for Express Delivery", in case your shop has that service available on Skroutz and your products fulfill this service's criteria. You can see that new option on the "Dashboard" when you click on the menu under "Delivery time". If you have Premium, you can also add the delivery time tag on your products to change it to this availability.

  8. BoxNow: Multiple Parcels for an Order

    New Feature

    A new feature dropped recently for your BoxNow orders! It's simple and useful whenever you have to send your BoxNow delivery in multiple packages.

    For this reason, from the dialog box that opens whenever you click on an order's name, you can go to the Shipping details at the new "Parcels" input.

    By default, the input is 1. You can change it by typing the number that you want. If for example you type in 3, then at the creation of the voucher, the voucher will be created for 3 separate parcels. You will be able to see the 3 different package slips when you download the voucher afterwards.

    image

    Be careful however! Whenever you create vouchers with a mass create action (directly from the Order list by selecting multiple orders) the parcels input will always be 1.

  9. New Box Now Features!

    Improvement
    Announcement

    We are happy to see a lot of our clients engage and ask for more in our BoxNow application, that we launched this May.

    Some of the features we have made sure to include are:

    First of all, through the Settings tab, you can add all your multiple locations that you have registered to BoxNow as places that you will be delivering your packages from. Simply add the location id and a name to recognize it, and tap on "Add new Location".

    Moreover, you can add the standard shipping cost for your BoxNow deliveries, as well as the minimum amount for free shipping with BoxNow.

     

    image

    If you have another name or let's say 'alias' for your Cash on Delivery payment method on checkout, make sure to add it on the last input in your Settings, since it will be important for the creation of your BoxNow vouchers.

     

    image

    Don't forget to save all these options afterwards!!!

     

    Last but not least, in the Order List tab we have added a new filter called "Shipping Line". Press the button "More Filters" to see all the filter options available. By selecting Shipping Line, the option "Box Now", pressing "Done" and then "Search" to reload the orders, you will be able to see all the orders created on your store that during checkout, the customers selected a BoxNow locker for the delivery method.

  10. Glami: New Option Available! 👗

    New Feature
    Announcement

    Hey there! Quick announcement for a new feature coming up.

    If you are confused with Glami's way of matching product types to gender specific categories, don't worry!

    Starting today, you can simply add a "gender:<option>" tag on any of your products, where the <option> will be replaced with one of the following values: "male", "female" or "unisex".

    Your XML Feed will then be refreshed and add appropriate parameters to the products you want.

    In any case, if you still have questions about this option, send us an email at syn@think-plus.gr. We will be happy to help you!
