This release will be available to all users throughout July/August 2025
Split Fulfilment & Sales Outlet Allocation via Webstore API
Retail Express now supports split fulfilment and sales outlet assignment directly through the Webstore API's OrderCreateByChannel methods. This enhancement enables integrators to define, per order item, which outlet should fulfil it and, also optionally, which outlet the overall order should be recorded against for reporting.
These changes are similar to our Shopify integration’s fulfilment logic and provide greater flexibility for clients managing multi-location fulfilment or dispatch strategies using the Webstore API.
- A new optional field, OrderItemFulfilmentWHID, is available for each item in the OrderItems section of the OrderCreateByChannel request.
- A new optional header-level parameter, OrderOutletWHID, can now be used to specify the sales outlet against which the entire order will be recorded.

POS Auto Generate Voucher Code Setting
A new configuration option has been added under POS Settings > Voucher Settings, giving users greater control over how voucher codes are created during the sale of gift vouchers at the POS.
Previously, Retail Express would automatically pre-fill the voucher code field with a unique, system-generated code whenever a voucher sale was attempted at POS. we’ve introduced a new setting that gives retailers the ability to disable auto-generation of voucher codes.
- To access the setting, go to Settings > POS Settings > Voucher Settings
- Once configured, refresh your POS browser to observe the behaviour change in POS when creating a voucher.
Legacy Stock Receipt Retirement
The legacy Purchase Order receipt process is being phased out. “Quick Receipt” now uses the newer receipt method by default, providing a faster, more reliable experience. “Quick Receipt & Invoice” option is available directly under Inventory > PO Management > Stock Receipt
Access to the old method is still temporarily available via PO Management. Users can access Legacy PO via Inventory > PO Management > Stock Receipt (Legacy)
