🛍️ Pre-Order: Boost Sales and Manage Cash Flow with Ease

We understand how frustrating it can be when a popular product runs out of stock. With our new Pre-Order feature, you can keep the momentum going even when inventory is low. Now, if a product is sold out, your customers can still place an order. The Pre-Order feature enables a free checkout for customers, securely vaults their card information, and automatically charges them when you’re ready to ship (using pre-authorization).

From your Apptile dashboard, you can easily set products for pre-orders, ensuring you never miss a sale opportunity. At launch, customers won’t be charged until the product is ready to ship. In upcoming releases, we’ll introduce the option to collect a certain percentage of the pre-order amount upfront. This flexibility gives you the control to manage your cash flow while maintaining customer satisfaction.

Here’s a quick recap of how the Pre-Order feature can benefit your boutique:

  1. Never miss a sale opportunity, even when products are out of stock
  2. Manage your cash flow by choosing when to charge customers for pre-orders
  3. Maintain customer satisfaction by offering a seamless pre-order experience

🛒 Cart Assist: Provide Personalized Support and Boost Sales

One of the most requested features from boutique owners is the ability to view and manage customer carts. With our new Cart Assist feature, you can now view the contents of your customers’ carts in real-time. Need to add a product to their cart upon request? You can do that too. This feature allows you to provide personalized support, assist with product recommendations, and even help close sales more effectively.

Cart Assist empowers you to:

📊 Live Stream Analytics: Data-Driven Insights to Skyrocket Your Sales

Live streaming is a powerful tool for engaging with customers and driving sales. But to truly optimize your live streams, you need data. That’s where our new Live Stream Analytics comes in. For each live stream, you can now access detailed analytics, including:

This data will help you understand what resonates with your audience, allowing you to refine your approach and maximize sales during live events. And this is just the beginning—more metrics and insights will be added in the coming weeks.

📹 Product Videos: Engage Your Customers and Increase Conversions

Finally, we’re excited to introduce Product Videos within your product pages. Now, you can showcase your products in a more dynamic and engaging way. Whether it’s a demonstration, a behind-the-scenes look, or a customer testimonial, videos are a powerful tool to captivate your audience and increase conversions. This feature is designed to help you tell the story behind your products, creating a more immersive shopping experience for your customers.

With Product Videos, you can:
