Operating an online eCommerce platform is a heavy set of burdens. From attracting customers and popular sellers to your platform, managing deliveries, payment processing, and handling customer queries, it’s easy to get bogged down if you haven’t got the technology to manage it all for you.
Yo!Kart has broken new ground as a robust multi-vendor marketplace software with its spectacular capabilities to build and manage eCommerce marketplaces. We are excited to announce the V10 release of Yo!Kart that can add new dimensions to your eCommerce businesses.
From data migration, listing digital products, offering discounts & coupons, streamlining payments & shipping, and defining review parameters, the new version will offer a truly dynamic selling and buying experience. Here’s what to expect in this release in more detail:
In Yo!Kart V10, business owners now get a unified workspace that connects all the dots of an eCommerce business: seamless shipping, hassle-free data migration, smooth payments, customizable product ribbons, and badges, offering a better interface for sellers and buyers. Let’s check out all the new features Yo!Kart V10 is bringing to enable eCommerce entrepreneurs to serve even better.
Data Migration from Shopify is now supported in Yo!Kart V10. Admin and sellers can transfer all of their important data including products, customers, orders, sellers, and entities related to them from Shopify to Yo!Kart automatically, accurately, and securely. The software ensures no downtime on the current store, proper data transfer, and dedicated support during and after the migration to Yo!Kart.
Admin can see the list of the sellers who have shipped the Master Products themselves. The master products that are shipped by the admin are also displayed on the listing page. Shipping profiles linked with the products can also be viewed by the admin.
Sellers/admins can add the preview (audio/video) of digital products like eBooks where buyers can view the sample/preview to get an idea of the product before making the purchasing decision. This trending feature of eCommerce is now available in Yo!Kart V10 by integrating JW Player plugin that gives your store an edge with increased conversion rates and efficient customer experience eventually reducing product returns.
Sellers and admins also have this option to attach the latest updates to the digital products with the orders that are already placed. Enabling this will send an update to the buyers who have already placed their orders.
Admin can create product ribbons (colored labels over product photos) for the products that require a spotlight. These ribbons make it easier for the customers to find the products they would truly love and help you to put your store’s best foot forward. Admins will have full control over these ribbons and can monitor and adjust everything from the dashboard.
Yo!Kart V10 comes with product badges which are textual and graphical labels used to highlight items in the store to draw the user’s attention immediately. These badges can be used to tap into powerful psychological triggers such as scarcity, social proof, and urgency to boost sales. The product badges are created by the admin and are of two types – manual and automatic.
Manual badges are needed to be linked with the shop/product by the seller which can with er be done directly or by requesting the admin. Automatic badges are automatically linked with the shop/product if it fulfills the conditions defined by the admin while creating the badge such as ratings, order cancellation rates, order completion rates, and many more.
With already more than 20 payment gateways integrated into Yo!Kart, Version 10 comes pre-integrated with 4 new payment gateways – Mollie, Payfast, YoCo, and QNB to streamline the sales conversion funnel even more efficiently. These multiple payment gateways ensure that your business is able to collect and disburse payments safely in any corner of the globe.
Additionally, multiple payment gateways would not only satisfy the choice of customers who have a couple of selected payment gateways in their mind but would also serve as a backup when there is downtime in any of the payment gateways. There will be no hindrance in continuing your business with multiple payment gateways that can fill each other’s gaps.
With ShipStation and AfterShip already integrated into Yo!Kart, the new version comes pre-integrated with 3 more shipping APIs – Shiprocket, EasyPost, and ShipEngine. The multiple shipping APIs allow you to compare shipping rates across all carriers and choose the best fit.
Reduced checkout abandonment, automatically validating addresses, real-time tracking, less time spent on tedious shipping tasks, and increased efficiency are some of the benefits offering a powerful competitive advantage for your eCommerce platform.
Admin can now define new review/rating parameters at the time of creating a new product category. Additionally, the product, seller, and shipping can be reviewed and rated separately to have more transparency. Buyers can view the separate ratings for every parameter and not based on the average of all the ratings to make an informed decision.
There are around 20 parameters defined under the product/inventory module which are to be filled by the admin/seller before listing a product. Failing to fill in all these details of the product will prevent the product from displaying on the front end.
The enhancements and upgrades in Yo!Kart V10 include:
Enhanced/updated cache mechanism to make your system optimized and enables you to perform the action quickly.
Dashboard segregation has been executed at the code level which again enhances the functionality of the system and ensures optimum utilization of resources.
An alert and suggestion bar has been introduced at Admin’s end to display the necessary information to be kept in mind (as a warning/recommendation) while filling/configuring the details related to that module or submodule.
Introduced new form fields while setting up Tax rules in order to handle various to-from workflows.
Note: We have proper documentation for the Shipping module covering multiple case-based scenarios.
Admin now can create users in the Platform.
The core user experience remains the highest priority for us here at Yo!Kart and along with the latest features, this release tackles a bunch of enhancements. That’s all from us for now! We’ll be back again with all the updates that our team is working on currently.
