Convertri Updates – 04/05/21
This week we’ve not only got a big video bug fix for you, but we’ve also got a video for you to watch.
Firstly, our devs have been working hard on squashing a bug that’s been buzzing around the office for… well, quite a while now. If you’ve ever encountered problems with uploading videos, we hope that squishing this particular pest will make all of that a thing of the past.
And secondly, with all the update’s we’ve been making to our cart functionality lately, Neil’s made a handy-dandy walkthrough video to tour you around some of the new features.
In the video, Neil shows you how to:
- Set up coupons for your products to give your favourite customers money off
- Add shipping costs for different regions to stop you losing your profits in the Post Office
- Configure product variants for all the sizes, styles and flavours your products come in
As well as showcasing our brand new 2-step checkout.
All of this will seriously change how you sell your products – whether digital, or physical.

In the meantime, here’s everything else that’s new this week:
FEATURES
Inventory – if a product is out of stock, it will now show as such on your Product Variants dropdown options on your page. You’ll need to republish your pages for this to take effect.
PayPal – you can now use PayPal with your on-page checkout when you have product variants configured. You just need to republish your pages for these changes to take effect.
BUG FIXES
Videos – since the days of old, we’ve had intermittent errors where videos got stuck in the “saving” stage forever. This is the mother bug of videos – and now, we think we’ve fixed it. Our updated version has thrown up no issues, but as this queen bug was intermittent by nature, we don’t know if she’s just gone into hibernation. All we can do is watch and see. Are you still getting errors? Please contact support – but bear in mind that your videos may take longer to upload than you expect. 15 minutes isn’t unusual for long videos, so be patient and don’t leave the page (but it’s totally fine to open another tab and browse Reddit or whatever, this won’t affect your upload).
Dropdowns – if you added a Country dropdown menu to your page, the options may not have displayed correctly unless you hovered over it. That’s been fixed now.
GETTING STARTED WEBINAR
The Getting Started webinar went live last week, so we’ve now got the replay live for you. It was a good one – and you can check it out here:

And lastly, we’d like to take this opportunity to shine a spotlight on Resources. Even if you know about this section, it’s well worth checking out to see if anything new has been added since your last visit. Just click Account, then Resources in the left hand menu, and you’ll see a list of guides – but these aren’t your normal help doc walkthroughs. In Resources, you’ll learn how to start your own Convertri agency, become a successful affiliate, and more. In short, these guides will help you take your business to the next level.
