Here’s what’s new in Blink Version 1.0.2 release April 2022.
New Updates
Saved Location: Now app users no longer need to enter their location every time they open the app. The location is saved once the user sets it, proving to be more convenient for users.
Wallet Amount Update on Invoice: The wallet amount deducted on a purchase will be updated on the printed invoice, to make sure the user is aware of how much money is left in their wallet.
Security Update: Merchant portal passwords will be expired, asking vendors to reset passwords to a new one. This is done to ensure an important security check whenever a vendor logs in.
Firebase Events Fetch: Tracking the mobile app user journey of customers just became easier for vendors – the Firebase dashboard now has access to the following actions users take on the app:
- EventViewItem
- EventAddToCart
- RemoveFromCart
- EventBeginCheckout
- EventEcommercePurchase
- EventSignUp
- EventLogin
This will facilitate vendors to gather further insights on their customers and send them cloud messaging based on their user behavior.
Bulk Section Discount Update: An option has been provided to delete the entire category/section once a discount expires, vendors that choose to keep the category/section active after the discount’s expiry are able to do so.
Discounts > Bulk sections discounts > Create Discount
