Candyโ€™s Weekly Recap: Exciting New Features and Updates!๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŽ‰
Hello, my fabulous photographer friends!

โ€

Candy here, ready to sprinkle some sparkle on your day with our latest Weekly Recap! ๐ŸŒŸ

โ€

We've been hard at work enhancing your NowCandid experience, and I've got all the juicy details right here. Let's dive in! ๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ

โ€

1. Retail Site Enhancements ๐Ÿ›๏ธ

โ€

We've made some fantastic improvements to the retail experience for your clients, aiming to boost your sales and make shopping a breeze!

โ€

  • Diamond Gloss Upsell for Packages๐Ÿ’Ž When clients add a package containing prints to their cart, they'll now see a Diamond Gloss upsell popup. They can choose to add that finish to every print in their package.
    โ€
  • โ€Clearer Product Naming๐Ÿ“ The Medium Res Gallery Download (only offered and always offered when you're doing a QuicPics or QuicPicsย GOย Event) now automatically renames to Free Gallery when there's no high-resolution personal gallery offered. Just like the individual download does!
    โ€
  • โ€Smart Cart Management๐Ÿ›’ If a client has already added the Personal Gallery Download to their cart, it will be hidden from the shopping screen.

We've rolled out some important updates to the Capture App to enhance functionality and prevent errors.

  • BGR Folder Activation Confirmation๐ŸŽจ To enable a BGR (Background Removal) folder on the app, users must now check an "I understand" box. Helps new team members avoid accidentally enabling BGR when it's not intended, saving you time and resources.
    โ€
  • โ€Improved Phone Number Validation๐Ÿ“ž The app now prevents the use of obviously fake phone numbers like 333-333-3333 or 444-444-4444.
    โ€
  • โ€Auto-Refresh Event List on iOS๐Ÿ”„ When returning to the app on iOS devices, the event list will now auto-refresh. Reduces the chance of seeing outdated event details, keeping you informed on the go.

Whatโ€™s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
