When is it going to be live / Upgrade option in business hub?
Hi Munafali,
We are still testing and working on fixing some last-minute bugs. We are aiming to release it on Monday next week.
I hope it releases it today, fingers crossed. Just curious what will be different in beta and public release version? Basically both will have some coding and platform for installing right?
Hi Munafali,
We're still ironing out some issues. Thank you for your patience. You will see the option to upgrade in Business Hub when the version is released.
Yes, the public release will have the same coding as the beta release. The difference is that the public release is a stable version with all known bugs fixed.
Hi Lee, Thank you for the info. Since you're fixing bugs, You may want to look into Edge, IE browser on touch screen monitors! Whenever you try to make text bigger or small it won't let you as easy as under chrome browser.
You may want to consider making a touch screen icon easy to drag. Picture below.
Keep up the best work! :)
Any tutorial for how to connect ship-station? Or a referral expert?
Hi Phil,

(Lee: We're still ironing out some issues.)
Lee, Are you still ironing?
Hi Munafali,
V8.5 has been released. You can update by clicking on the "Update Now" button on the Dashboard in the Admin section.
Great, thank you so much! Have you looked into a message from Tuesday at 15:27?
DNC-19937 New: Product Filter Widget (Enterprise customers only)
Not available for PREMIUM customers??
Hi Munafali,
Apologies for the late reply.
Unfortunately, the Product Filter Widget is not available on the Premium plan.
Thank you for your suggestion on the UI improvement. Due to the instability of the Microsoft Edge browser, it is not something that we will be working on in the near future. Please use Chrome as it is more stable.
Hi Munafali,
Good news, the Blank Product Filter Widget is now available on the Premium plan.
