Hello everyone,
I hope you’re off to a great start for Valentine’s Day. Below is a quick summary of the features, but please be sure to read the detailed explanations and watch the videos to be sure you fully understand how they work. If you have any questions about these new features feel free to give us a shout.
We have implemented a number of themes (including Christmas, Winter, Fall, Pink, Spring (default)) for your mobile site, you can set the Mobile Theme in your Admin under Wide Store Settings:
We’ve added the ability for you to restrict usage of Reward Points and Coupons on the same order. By default the system allows both to be used. There is a new setting “Points with Coupons?” in the Wide Store Settings, if you uncheck this option then there will be a note displayed to the user if they have Reward Points to add indicating that if they add reward points the coupon will be removed. This message only displays if they’ve already added a coupon to the order and have reward points to apply.
There is now a new “Local Only” option for Coupon Types in your admin, if you select this option then the coupon will only be usable for orders going to zip codes in your Zip Codes field under Store Settings. If the user tries to use the coupon for a zip code that isn’t in the list it will give them the message below followed by a the list of Zip Codes:
Here’s a quick video (link below) to show a few updates we’ve just rolled out to the event/wedding site. We hope you like them and that they make things easier and more useful for you and your visitors.
We’ve added a few extra phone number fields for the Cart, Event/Wedding Site and Mobile Site. If you enter a number for Mobile or Cart then it will use that number instead of your local or toll free numbers by default. If an affiliate or campaign is passed and they have a phone number they will still override these numbers in the same way it overrides your local / toll free number. However if a number is setup for the Wedding Site then that is the number that will appear there regardless of any affiliate or campaigns the user might have come from. You can set the Cart / Mobile phone numbers in Wide Store Settings and Event/Wedding site phone under Weddings – Settings.
Due to concerns about Getty images contacting florists in regards to unlicensed images, we have inactivated all of your eCards. You can turn them back on simply by clicking the activate checkbox. But be sure you have proper licenses before you do so. We had to inactivate all the cards because we have no idea which items you have licenses for and which you do not and we felt it was better than letting you get a letter from Getty Images about license infringement. Please verify any images you are using are either your own or that you have acquired licenses for those images and that the image licenses allow use as an eCard.
We do not provide licensed images for ecards. We provide the ecard functionality and you provide the images. So again, if you use images please be sure you have proper licenses for them.
How the different dates on coupons work.
Here are directions to set up a unique domain name for your wedding / event site. You do not need to do this unless you want to use a unique domain name. There is no charge for this unless you are buying a new domain name.
Please contact Kelli Barclay with your domain name or names. If there are multiple names please let us know which one is primary. We’ll need access to your domain names to change DNS. So if we already control the domain then we can handle it, otherwise you’ll need to either give us permission (login info) or make the change to point them at our DNS servers. In either case Kelli can help you coordinate this.

This is a function that allows you to track the number of links to a section of your site from a third party site. So if you are running an online advertisement with your local newspaper for instance, and would like to track the effectiveness you can do so by creating and providing them a trackable link.
