Saffire 4.8.3

August 19, 2019

COMPLETE REDESIGN of the CHECKOUT PROCESS

Our shopping cart, the pillar of the very first Saffire website ever launched, has been completely redesigned from the ground up, incorporating over 10 years of experience, following trends and research! It’s one of the most significant updates to our website platform ever. 

Try it out for yourselves - especially on a mobile device. Your customers will love buying from you even more with this new consolidated cart format. We’ve also listened to you with this overhaul - we’ve made customer fees more visible in checkout, tapping your way through required fields is super fast and intuitive and we’ve topped it all off with some customizable items:

  • Add retargeting pixels to each step of the checkout on your own
  • Add content to the header and/or footer of each step of checkout
  • Decide if you need customers to “agree to terms & conditions” to complete a purchase

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION IMPROVEMENTS

We gave every client’s site some more SEO love this release by removing unnecessary redirects, which is nerd-speak for some automatic shop-keeping we’ve done to make sure all your pages and sitemap stay sparkling clean!

TONS of SAFFIRETIX UPDATES: 

Updates to the App:

DRUMROLL, PLEASE…. INTRODUCING - OFFLINE TICKET SCANNING!

It’s here, and all you need to do is let your coach know you’d like Offline Scanning enabled on your site or app! Then, if you experience any temporary slowness or downtime on your wireless or cellular network, you can keep scanning tickets offline!

Customize the COLOR of a Successful Scan screen! 

Do you have a price or badge type that you want your ticket scanning team to recognize? No problem! Highlight that ticket with a custom Successful Scan screen color within the app!

SCAN A QR CODE to enter your website URL on the login screen! 

Now, as you login to the app across multiple devices, you don’t need to type in your website’s URL. Instead, print or pull up the QR code from SALES > SAFFIRETIX > SITE QR CODE. Scan it, and viola! Your website URL will auto-populate!
