Release Notes - v3.12.10 - eCom/WebStore API
Scheduled Release Date: 11-11-2020
In this release there have been changes to the Retail Express system to utilise information sent via the API - there are no changes to the API itself. These changes apply to:
| API | Method |
| Webstore API | OrderCreateByChannel |
| EDS API | OrderCreateByChannel |
Freight Types
When an order is created with a FreightType entry passed via the API, the Freight Type will be visible in Retail Express (used for filtering and the Shippit integration). If the Freight Type doesn't already exist within Retail Express, a new one will be created (if it was previously deleted, the Freight Type will become re-enabled).
Previously this information was able to be passed successfully using the API, however the data wasn't visible within Retail Express.
Please note: If your API integration passes Freight Types with unique details for each sale (for example, Date) a new Freight Type will be created each time, potentially leading to a substantially long list.
Freight Types are now displayed for the sale within POS and the Fulfilment Report, allowing staff to filter by sales matching a specific Freight Type e.g. filter by "Express Shipping" orders so they can be fulfilled first.
For more information about Freight Types refer to the Settings - Freight Type article, and for more details on the Release please refer to Release Notes - v3.12.10 - POS/Back Office.
