On behalf of MultiSoft Corporation, we are pleased to inform you of the following recent updates to the MarketPowerPRO MLM Software system.  The following updates have been automatically rolled into your MarketPowerPRO MLM software system.  Some of the updates were automatic while others will require quick modifications by you or MultiSoft per the instructions below:

• NEW - Dual / Multi-Domains Now Supports Products Per Domain / URL
  • MarketPowerPRO has been enhanced to support different products per domain (website / URL).  If you have the dual / multi-domain system you can now separate products per domain.  Please review this video for more information: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i42vfwbitj2k4ct/Multidomain%20Product%20Set-up.mp4?dl=0.  If you do not currently have the MarketPowerPRO Dual / Multi-Domain system for your company we highly recommend you consider adding it, especially as we head into the holiday season and want to promote products first and follow-up with opportunity.  Please contact your MultiSoft Account Executive for more information on adding dual / multi-domains to your MarketPowerPRO System

• New - Admin Re-Send Notifications
  • We have added a history of all notification emails sent to customers and distributors along with the ability to re-send the notification(s) if a user does not receive.  To access this module login to your MarketPowerPRO System, go to Users> Manager Users> Select the User you want to re-send a notification to, mouseover Actions, click Edit User (Distributor, Customer, etc.) click Notification, click View for the notification to re-send and click the Re-Send button at the bottom. 

• NEW User Management System
  • The entire Users Management system has been re-built from the top down and the bottom up.  The entire Users screen is much easier to navigate and includes additional fields such as searching by credit card orders, ranks and statuses per plan type, as well as the ability to save the search results to appear after editing a user without having to re-enter the search criteria.  The search results have also been completely redesigned with a more intuitive "Actions" drop down to access various areas as well as many more details showing including: Join Dates, Last Login Date, Last Order Date, photo, social media profiles, and specific sponsor / placement data based upon the compensation plan type.  There is also a new "Search User Settings" in the Users menu that will allow you to set the Search User settings as well as determine which items based upon your compensation plan are shown in the search results.

• Enhancement - Discount Coupons
  • As we roll into the holiday season we understand the importance of coupons and discounts in todays competitive eCommerce atmosphere.  We have added the ability to hide coupons from the coupon grid in the checkout page so that special coupons can be shared by email, social media, word of mouth, etc.  Additionally, we have implemented settings for who can use the coupon based on the rolls such as Customer, Distributor, Anonymous as well as when the coupon is set to Customer, Distributor or Anonymous users will not see the coupon with or without the Show coupon in grid turned on; only those users that have permission to use the coupon will see it.  We have also added a slider to hide the coupon no matter who has permission to see it from all view.  Automatic coupons can now have multiple automatic coupons to create ranges of discounts.  Example, purchase 3-6 of the same item (or group of items) and receive a 10% discount, purchase 7-10 of the same item (or group of items) and receive a 15% discount, purchase 11 or more of the same item (or group of items) and receive a 20% discount.  Lastly, if there are no coupons available the coupon grid will no longer show on the checkout cart.  We are currently working on settings to reduce the CV and Points according to the percentage of the discount on the order or remove CV for free items (BOGO)'s - to have ready as soon as possible.

• New - Shopping Cart "Slide In" and "Pop-Overs"
  • In a continuous effort to keep up with the major shopping cart providers we have implemented the ability to have a "Pop-Over" or "Slide-In" feature when a visitor, customer, or distributor adds and item to their shopping cart.  This also gives the visitor a "second bite at the apple" to place the item on AutoShip if they did not do so when adding the item to their cart.  To add one or the other (don't add both) go to Company> Modules> Shopping Cart Settings, scroll to the bottom of the page and select the option you want to enable.

• New - Gift Notes and Special Instructions
  • In a continuous effort to keep up with the major shopping cart providers we have implemented the ability for shoppers to add Gift Notes and /or Special Instructions (Delivery Instructions, etc), which will appear on the packing lists and invoices.  To add one or both go to Company> Modules> Shopping Cart Settings, scroll to the bottom of the page and select the option(s) you want to enable.
    

• Enhancement - Modules Can Now Include Mail Merge Variables
  • Example, if you would like to show "First Name Last Name Commission History" instead of simply "Commission History" or Welcome First Name Last Name instead of simply Welcome, you can now add a mail merge variable such as /#/User FirstName/#/ and / or /#/User LastName/#/.  Simple click the cog in the module you want to edit and add the mail merge variable you want to see displayed.  Please contact customer service or training for any additional information on how to implement this feature.

• New - Rank Advancement Module Enhancement
  • The rank advancement module in the distributors back office has been enhanced to search by ID, full name, partial name, or email address.  If there is more than one user with the same first or last name, when searching for a partial name, a pop-up box will appear for the distributor to select the appropriate user.

      • Geo Locations - The Geo Locations Dashboard will now display a drill down "Heat Map" of the world for both Distributors and Customers the same as the administrator dashboard, however only the Distributors and Customers counts for their personal organization / downline will be displayed instead of all as the company admin sees in Company Dashboards.

      • New Unilevel and Matrix Dashboards will be soon forthcoming

• New - Distributor Active / Inactive Downline AutoShip Report
  
  • A new Downline AutoShip report has been created for Distributors to be able to view Distributors and Customers and Distributors they have personally sponsored as well as their downline and who does and does not have an active AutoShip or who did and has cancelled their AutoShip.

Hello    ,

Effective November 1st, 2020, MultiSoft will no longer be offering free Google Address verification.  Google Address verification is utilized for credit card billing address and shipping address verification, as well as Mapping used for geocoding/mapping of Customers and Distributors.  Should you want to continue having your users geocoded for location mapping on "Find a Distributor" or address validation during enrollment and checkout you will need to obtain your own Google API Key for this purpose. 

Please follow the instructions here:  https://developers.google.com/maps/gmp-get-started which provides a 4 step tutorial on how to configure and obtain your API key.

When you reach Step 3 you will want to enable the following APIs:

• GeoCoding API <-- used for Find A Distributor mapping
  
• Places API <-- Used for street address validation

If you are not using our API code (Website->Site Settings) then no changes are needed or if you already have your own API account no changes are required.

If you would like more information on Address Verification or GeoCoding of addresses please request a training here: https://calendly.com/multisoft-training/

Thank you,

MultiSoft Support

    • Pop Over or Slide in After Add to Cart (you will only want to allow one or the other, not both).
      • Pop Over Cart will cause a window to immediately appear after a visitor, customer, or distributor has added an item to their cart.  In the window they can also set their AutoShip if they missed it the first time as well as go directly to the view cart or checkout page.
      • Slide In Cart is still in development and should be ready in the next 10 business days.

New Sku Settings Have Been Added

In an effort to continue to grow and add features to make our software the best it can be, we have updated our autoship settings. You now have the benefit of selecting the SKU's you want to be edited.  This feature is located in the Autoship setup screen. If in this process we have turned off the ability for your users to edit the SKUS, please let us know and we will correct those for you.  We hope this will be a feature that will benefit your company now and in the future.
