While you\u2019ve been working hard to push sales, we\u2019ve been working hard on improving your Spreadshop experience. Check out some of the major changes we\u2019ve implemented over the past year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

January: Increased Shop Performance<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

We significantly reduced load times in your Shop with a new search backend. This change in infrastructure was needed in order to make our other 2018 improvements possible.<\/p>\n

March: New List Page<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

We unveiled a new Spreadshop list page, which was one of the most-requested features back in 2017. This addition improved the look and feel of your Shop and listed products, and it also made it a lot more accessible to customers.<\/p>\n

April: New Detail Page<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Next, we improved the cosmetics of your Spreadshop, and we also optimized the site for mobile users. This made your Shop a whole lot more appealing, and it also helped to boost performance.<\/p>\n

April: Posters!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

In April, we made it possible to start selling posters in your Spreadshop. This was another way to entice customers, providing them with even more buying options.<\/p>\n

May: New T-Shirt Designer<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Customers appreciate the ability to customize their own products, and that was made a whole lot easier thanks to our improved T-Shirt Designer!<\/p>\n

May: Product Feed for Shop Ads<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

We made it easier to advertise your Spreadshop inventory on Facebook, Instagram, and Google by unveiling our new product feed!<\/p>\n

May: Feedback, New Products, Model Images<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

We added several new features to Spreadshop towards the end of May. We provided a new customer feedback section to your Shop, and we also made it possible to utilize model images. We also added the ability to highlight newly-created products, increasing the chance that your customers make a purchase!<\/p>\n

July: Shop Topics<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Organizing designs into relevant groupings makes it a whole lot easier for customers to sort through your offerings. Well, that was made possible thanks to the introduction of Shop topics in July!<\/p>\n

July: Reorganized Admin Settings<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Your Shop\u2019s admin settings are where the magic happens, and we reorganized this page to make it more intuitive and easier to use.<\/p>\n

July: Product-Creation Process<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

We gave you complete control over your products by adapting the entire product-creation process. Now, you have the ability to adapt designs on each product.<\/p>\n

August: Color Restrictions<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Black designs on black products isn\u2019t ideal. To prevent customers from creating these types of products, you can now restrict your color offerings.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

August: <\/strong>Updated<\/u><\/strong> Stats Page<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Analyzing your sales will help you to better adapt your selling strategy. Thanks to our updated stats page, you can sort through these numbers based on payout, design price, affiliate commission, or volume commission.<\/p>\n

September: Templates<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a whole lot easier to design your products when you have a template to guide you. This new feature allows you to automate many of the necessary steps, including product and color selection.<\/p>\n

September: New Start Page<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

You can now welcome customers to your Spreadshop with a fully-customized start page! This was a new addition to the Spreadshop experience, providing sellers with more opportunities to appeal to customers.<\/p>\n

October: New Header<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Besides the brand-new start page, we also provided Shop owners with a brand-new header. This inclusion put a bigger emphasis on the most important aspect of your Shop: the products.<\/p>\n

December: Bestsellers<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The new \u201cbestsellers\u201d tab in your partner area\u2019s statistics page now lets you analyze which of your products and designs tend to sell best.<\/p>\n

December: Revamped Topics, Start Page<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

In our pursuit of making your Spreadshop as desirable as possible, we slightly revamped your start page and topics.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in Store for 2019?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Similar to 2018, we\u2019re planning a whole lot of Spreadshop changes for the upcoming year. You can look forward to inclusions like a new \u201cabout us\u201d page and the ability to create products with designs on multiple print areas. Plus, for legacy user area Shop owners<\/a>, we\u2019ll be migrating you to the partner area. More information on this exciting project will be coming soon.<\/p>\n
