Changelog

Below you find the recent updates and changes to the Posterly app.

Support for multi-language 🇬🇧🇩🇪🇫🇷

Posterly now supports multi-langauge. We will fetch translated content through Shopify automatically for you. So if you have translated your content it will show up correctly in Posterly.

We recommend using the Shopify Translate and Adapt app to translating your products and pages.

Additionally you can use the T-Lab app to translate specific editor pages in Posterly, if you need to translate the Custom Input fields of a design.


Cart improvement

Now when a customer click the change link for a design in the cart, the existing product in the cart will be updated, instead of adding a new one.

Added

  • Updates to design already in cart will replace them, not add a new one.

Fixed

  • Resize issue with preview fixed

Customer facing editor improvements

We've updated the customer facing editor with some new improvements that should improve conversion rate on your store.

Added

  • Mobile step-by-step guide now supports product picker being placed as the last step
  • Mobile step-by-step guide now includes the design picker drop down if enabled in your settings
  • Mockup generator can now create shopify products with prefilled custom fields customizations

Fixed

  • Issue with print files for star maps has been fixed
  • Custom fields did not updated correctly when linked to other custom fields on first click

Add your own mockups

We've used the last couple of months to do a major overhaul of the backend systems of the app. This benefits our merchants with a lot of new features.

You can now upload your own mockups and give your customers a better impression of their design on the actual product. Photo on a coffee mug, print on a t-shirt, or a phone cover with your design on it? It can all be done inside the base products section of the app.

Added

  • Add mockup images to the editor for all product types

Customer rendered previews open beta

One of the most requested features was support for special characters and emojis. We've fixed this by rendering the final prints on the customers device. A benefit to this approach is that the print files are not queued for processing and are ready for download and fulfillment instantaneously.

Only known limitation is that iOS devices (iPad and iPhones) have a limit of 4096 x 4096 pixels, while Posterly in general has a 6000 x 6000 pixels size limit to the print files. Print files made on MacOS, Windows and Android devices will still output files in up to 6000 x 6000 pixels.

The beta can be enabled in the Design Studio settings of Posterly.

Added

  • Beta: We've added support for emojis 🎉 in designs!
  • Beta: We've added support for non-latin characters (海报 etc.) in designs!
  • Beta: Instant generation of print files

Fixed

  • Updated to newest version of Shopifys App Bridge - to improve load time.

🎃 October updates
