Logishop webshop version 2025.2

Features

1. Homepage alert bar module

Displaying short, targeted messages at the top of the homepage, segmented by user group and scheduled in time.

The homepage notification bar allows visitors to see the most important information affecting purchasing or daily operations already on the first screen. The bar appears below the header in a clearly visible yet non-intrusive way, making it suitable for communicating opening hours changes, shipping information, campaign messages, or system notifications.

The bar works as a static text element. It does not stick to the screen, disappears on scroll, and can be closed with a single click. If the user does not close it, the bar remains visible while navigating the site and appears again when returning to the homepage. Once closed, the same message will no longer be shown to that user.

The system can handle up to three active notification bars at the same time. If multiple messages are relevant to a visitor, they are not shown simultaneously but sequentially. The user always sees only one bar; the next one appears only after the previous one has been closed and the user later returns to the homepage. The display order of the bars is defined by the admin.

Notification bars can be controlled by segment. Messages can be set to appear for all visitors, only for logged-out users, or exclusively for logged-in B2C or B2B customers. Visibility can be tied to a start and end date, allowing messages to be scheduled in advance for campaigns, maintenance periods, or temporary announcements.

The notification bar management is available in the admin interface under the Content Management menu. Each bar has an internal name visible only in the admin interface, used for identification. The visibility period, access type, and displayed text can all be configured.

The text is language-specific and editable in rich text format, with a maximum length of 400 characters. Basic formatting and links are supported, while images and videos are not, keeping messages short and focused.

Bars can be activated or deactivated with a single toggle. If an already displayed message is modified, clearing the view history ensures that the updated version is shown again to users. Deletion is protected by a confirmation step to prevent accidental actions.

The homepage notification bar module supports fast, targeted, and controlled communication of important information without modifying the homepage content or structure. This is especially useful in cases where timing and reaching the right audience matter most.

2. Banner preview and setup guidance in the admin interface

Real-time preview and visual guidance for accurate, device-independent banner setup.

The banner preview and configuration guide helps ensure that banners are set up exactly as they will appear on the homepage already during editing. The admin receives immediate feedback on the selected template, layout, and visual proportions, reducing trial-and-error and later adjustments.

When editing banners, templates are displayed with short, clear descriptions. At the moment of selection, it is already visible what structure the template offers, such as single- or multi-row layouts, and where images, text, and buttons are placed. This helps decide which layout best fits the goal of a given campaign or message.

A visual guide in the right-hand panel shows how the selected layout should be imagined on the homepage. In multi-row layouts, the relationship between individual banners is visible, while in single-banner layouts, it shows how the banner fills the available space. This explanatory view helps the admin see the final result already during editing.

After uploading and cropping the banner image, a clearly visible “Preview” function becomes available. By clicking it, the admin can see in real time how the banner appears in the banner strip, including text and buttons. The preview is available separately for desktop and mobile views, making it easy to check how the content behaves on different screen sizes.

The preview-related guides also provide direction on ideal image sizes and aspect ratios. They show the recommended minimum width and which areas of the image may be cropped by the system, helping avoid distortion or loss of important details. The guides also suggest how much text is appropriate for each template.

One advantage of this feature is that templates and settings can be freely tested without saving changes to the banner strip. This allows the admin to try multiple options without risk and only save the changes once the appearance matches expectations.

The banner preview and configuration guide is available in the admin interface under Content Management → Banners, within the banner strip list when editing a banner strip or its version. The solution simplifies banner management, reduces errors, and enables faster, more consistent homepage communication for Logishop-based online stores.

3. Exclusive B2B operating mode

A fully closed e-commerce platform available only to logged-in business partners.

The exclusive B2B operation mode allows the Logishop online store to function as a completely closed interface. In this mode, all content is accessible only after login and exclusively to authorized business partners.

In this setup, the homepage no longer acts as a marketing or product listing page but as a login page. Visitors see a clean login screen where they can authenticate using an email and password, and optionally social login. Products, prices, stock information, and other commercial data are not visible without logging in.

The closed operation applies at the URL level as well. If a user tries to access any subpage via a direct link, no content is available without logging in. All functions become accessible only after successful authentication, along with the familiar B2B functionality.

This mode is designed for wholesale, distributor, and partner-based sales models. It allows prices, discounts, and conditions to vary by customer while ensuring that only approved partners can access business data. The admin has full control over user and permission management.

After login, partners immediately see content relevant to them. Personalized pricing, ordering conditions, and functions appear, resulting in clearer collaboration and more efficient ordering processes.

4. Country-specific shipping method management

Precise control of shipping methods by country to prevent invalid orders.

Country-specific shipping method management allows you to define in the Logishop admin interface which shipping methods are available for which countries. This makes the delivery logic fully adaptable to domestic and international operations.

The feature applies to delivery-type shipping methods. When the admin edits such a shipping method, a new “Supported countries” field automatically appears. From a searchable, filterable list, the countries where the delivery can actually be fulfilled can be selected.

Selected countries appear immediately below the field in a clear, easy-to-review format. Additional countries can be added at any time until all required destinations are selected. For delivery-type shipping methods, specifying countries is mandatory, ensuring no incomplete configurations remain.

The setting is available in the admin interface under Orders → Order Settings → Shipping Methods. After selecting a delivery-type shipping method, the country management field appears exclusively for delivery-based options.

On the customer side, this directly affects the checkout process. When a user selects a configured shipping method, the country selector in the shipping address step only offers the permitted countries. Selecting any other country is not possible, preventing unfulfillable orders.

This solution helps prevent incorrect address entry, reduces administrative follow-up, and ensures a cleaner ordering flow. It is especially useful for international sales, multiple logistics partners, or country-specific shipping conditions in both B2C and B2B environments.

5. Bulk product image upload via ZIP

Fast upload and automatic assignment of large numbers of product images.

The bulk product image upload feature allows the admin to upload a large number of product images at once using a ZIP file. The system automatically assigns images to the correct products, making catalog updates significantly faster and easier.

Uploads are handled exclusively in ZIP format. Image naming is critical: file names must contain the product SKU. If a product has multiple images, the display order can be defined by adding an underscore and a sequence number after the SKU (for example: _1, _2, _3).

Before uploading, the admin selects how existing product images should be handled in the Strategy field. Two options are available:

• Append, where images in the ZIP file are added to existing images
• Overwrite, where previous images are removed and only the ZIP contents remain

The feature is available in the admin interface under Products → Product Data → Bulk Image Upload. After uploading the ZIP file, the system automatically starts extraction and image processing. Once finished, a confirmation message indicates successful upload.

Image processing runs in the background, allowing the admin to continue with other tasks immediately. The status of the process can be tracked in the Task Manager, accessible via the bell icon. Here, it is visible whether the upload completed successfully or if errors occurred.

If a task finishes with the status “completed with errors,” the upload itself succeeded, but some images could not be processed. Details are available by clicking the eye icon, making it easy to see which files caused issues and why.

The default ZIP size limit is currently 100 MB and can be adjusted per project. The limit also depends on the server environment configured for Logishop, allowing flexible adjustment for larger catalogs.

6. Admin task manager

Transparent tracking of background admin operations with real-time status updates.

The admin task manager enables long-running operations to run asynchronously while providing continuous feedback on their status. Initially, it supports processes related to bulk product image uploads, with the option to extend it to additional background tasks later.

The task manager plays a central role in the admin interface. It is accessible from every page via the bell icon in the left-side menu. Clicking it opens a side panel showing running and completed tasks along with their current processing status.

The system uses color codes to indicate task outcomes. Successfully completed tasks appear in green. Tasks that finish with errors are marked in yellow. Failed tasks appear in red and do not reach 100% completion. In such cases, an additional warning is shown on the bell icon.

Task details can be opened in multiple ways. Clicking the eye icon in the side panel or navigating to Dashboard → Task Manager opens the detailed view. This view shows the task type, name, status, number of processed items, total items, and error count.

When a task fails or completes with errors, detailed feedback is available showing which items caused issues and why. This allows the admin to identify problems quickly and intervene in a targeted way without rerunning or manually fixing the entire process.

The task manager currently operates with reduced functionality, but it will eventually be applied to all background admin operations. This includes processes such as GDPR-related data compilation and downloads. The goal is a faster, clearer, and more reliable admin interface when handling large data volumes.

7. B2B-optimised checkout for large baskets

Efficient handling of large B2B orders with Excel import and an interface designed for high item counts.

The solution focuses on large-volume ordering. Logged-in B2B users can add products to the cart individually, but Excel-based import and export play a key role. When the cart is empty, the import function is prominently displayed on the cart page with a short guide on the required format. During import, the system reports invalid rows so users can immediately correct the data. The export function allows cart contents to be edited offline and uploaded again.

The cart interface is designed for high item counts. Items are displayed in a table layout with pagination, showing a manageable number of rows at once, while search is available by product name and SKU. Users can:

• Modify quantities individually or in bulk
• Remove individual items or clear the entire cart
• Refresh the cart manually or with a single action

Special attention is given to out-of-stock and substitutable products. Items that are not currently in stock but can be ordered beyond stock and have substitutes are automatically moved higher in the cart. A clear indicator allows users to open the list of substitute products with one click, where they can:

• Choose from multiple alternative products
• Enter desired quantities
• Automatically replace the original product after selection

After reviewing the cart summary, the order is placed through the usual structured steps. On the summary page, users can review the full order once more before finalizing it. The order is automatically transferred to the ERP system, and the store sends email notifications about order status. The entire process is designed so that large B2B orders move faster from submission to processing, with fewer errors and less manual coordination.
