As a Shopify store owner or developer, staying up-to-date with the latest platform updates is crucial to optimize your store's performance and management. In this article, we'll explore the recent updates in Shopify, including unified staff permissions, shipping performance metrics, and new chart types in Shopify Analytics.
Unified Staff Permissions for Retail Teams
Shopify has introduced unified staff permissions, allowing store owners to manage their entire team's permissions in one place. This update enables administrators to assign organization-level roles, suspend and reactivate seasonal staff, and assign multiple roles to users. The new high-trust roles include POS Administrator, POS Device Setup, POS User Administrator, and Organization POS Administrator.
Shipping Performance Metrics and Verified Tracking Badge
Shopify Collective suppliers can now earn a Verified Tracking badge by maintaining consistent carrier tracking coverage across all their orders. The badge appears on their supplier profile in Discovery, increasing their discoverability to retailers. Suppliers can view their shipping metrics, including carrier tracking coverage, on-time fulfillment, and on-time delivery, on the home page of the Collective supplier app.
New Chart Types in Shopify Analytics
Shopify Analytics now supports two new chart types: scatter plots and radar charts. These chart types enable store owners to spot patterns and compare performance across their store data without exporting to a spreadsheet. Scatter plots can be used to see how two metrics relate, while radar charts can be used to compare across multiple metrics at once.
