🎁 New Features and 🌟 Enhancements for All!

🎁 New! Banner on Login Page for New Admin Site [Corp Admin] Last week we gave you a sneak peek into the new unified admin. As we are getting closer to making the official switch, we have added an easy way to let everyone know where to go to log in. Now, when you go to your corpadmin site you will see a banner inviting you to try out the new unified admin.

🌟 Improved! Order History Gets Its Own Page [Web Office Admin] To make way for some future flexibility on the Order History page, we have moved these settings from being shared with the Volume History page to their own page. You can find it in your Web Office Admin under Advanced Settings > Order History. 

🌟 Improved! Visual Enhancements to the Team Member Search [Web Office] The searching experience got a facelift this week. The experience to search for team members now aligns with material design standards.

🎁 New! Order History Page Available [Retail Site] A new page is available for all clients to use on their shop sites. This page can be added into the navigation by pointing a link to /{webalias}/OrderHistory. Be sure to only show this link to logged in users.

🎁 New! Order History Page Template Available [Retail Site Admin] Along with the new page being released today, it is also immediately configurable in the admin! 

🎁 New! Product Card Template Component Available [Retail Site Admin] Instead of having to create an entire page template for the /Products page just to update the style of the list of products, the product card itself is now a component template. The name of the component is ProductDemo.

🎁 New! Sponsor Search Template Component Available [Retail Site Admin] The pop up to search for your sponsor is also now available as a template component to be customized.

🌟 Improved! Instagram Feed Setup [Retail Site Admin] The previous page for setting up the Instagram credentials required a little bit of development help. Now the page can be fully managed in the Retail Site Admin. This page is found in the Retail Admin under Company Settings > Miscellaneous. 

🐞 Bugs That Have Been Squashed

🐞Fixed: I-Payout Settings Bypassed After Balance Received [Corp Admin] The integration with I-Payout had some inconsistencies on when we were passing the email address, username, or ID to provision and get the balances for accounts. These have been standardized so no matter how the I-Payout account was provisioned the balance retrieved will come back without discrepancies.
