Product Update: Guest Checkout, Bulk Edit Categories & Design Updates 🎨
We hope you're having an awesome spring! It's hard to believe we're already halfway through May.
The Freshline team has had a busy few weeks with some awesome product updates. Here are the latest updates on Freshline:
Contents
1. ⚡️ Guest checkout
Shoppers can now browse suppliers' online stores, view availability, toggle service zones, and add items to their cart, without registering for an account up-front. Don't worry - our system will continue to auto-calculate fulfillment schedules, minimums, or product availability on checkout, based on the address entered.
This feature will help suppliers increase checkout conversion and improve the online shopping experience.
2. 📦 Bulk apply categories and tags
If you find yourself constantly changing categories and tags for your products, you'll be ecstatic about our new bulk adjustment tool for categories and tags.
Suppliers can now choose multiple items and bulk adjust the product category and associated tag(s) in just a few clicks.
Here's how to get started:
- Log onto your Freshline Dashboard
- Head to Products -> Products
- Choose a selection of items to adjust
- Click Bulk Actions -> Edit categories and tags
- Select the new Category and Tag(s)
- Click save and your products will be updated instantly!
3. 📧 Branded transactional emails for customers
Your transactional emails now fully branded with your own logo, primary color, and links. Branded emails include:
- Customer sign up email
- Order confirmations
- Order modifications
- Order fulfillment
- Refunds
These emails are now live and can be customized by modifying your store theme color and company logo under your Account Settings on Freshline.
4. 🎨 Redesigned products page
Freshline's products page has been completely overhauled with speed, design, and stability improvements. Changes include:
- Central dropdown for bulk actions (changing fulfillment dates, availability, categories) and quick edits
- Better, more accurate product searches

Check it out on your Freshline Dashboard!
5. 🎨 Design, performance, and user experience improvements
Several features and pages have been improved. These include:

Service locations (/locations)
- Your auto-generated/auto-updated service location page on the online store has been redesigned for simplicity

Optimized picklist / sales sheet printing
- Printed picklist formatting has been optimized to ensure orders fit on one page, even with up to 15 products per order.
Toggle order cancellation emails
- You can now choose whether you would like to send order cancellation emails for those cancelled via your dashboard.
