DecoNetwork has released the latest version of its online store and business-management platform, version 8.609, which the company describes as one of its most significant updates to date.
Among other things, DecoNetwork says the release introduces powerful new tools for custom commercial apparel decorators and embroidery shops—including native Shopify integration, advanced embroidery file handling, smarter pricing automation and website performance upgrades.
“This release reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation in the print decoration industry,” said Zach Dewhurst, business development manager at DecoNetwork. “With advanced integrations, embroidery upgrades and performance enhancements, version 8.609 is designed to help businesses operate more efficiently and better serve their customers.”
Shopify Integration for Apparel Decorators Now Available
Among the new features included in the company’s latest update is native Shopify integration, allowing commercial apparel decorators to directly connect Shopify storefronts with DecoNetwork’s Business Hub. Products, artwork and orders now sync automatically, enabling a streamlined workflow that eliminates the need for manual entry or juggling multiple platforms.
Per DecoNetwork, version 8.609 delivers a significantly improved workflow for commercial embroiders, in particular, since DST files can now be uploaded and edited directly into DecoNetwork, enabling on-the-fly color adjustments and stitch-level customization without external software.
Highlights include:
- Direct upload and editing of DST embroidery files
- Instant color changes and stitch break recognition
- Streamlined production management inside DecoNetwork
Improved Pricing, Shipping Automation and SEO
In the areas of pricing and bulk order management the update also simplifies a decorated-apparel company’s processes with enhanced automation and error prevention. Unified decoration pricing ensures consistency across different product styles and colors, while shipping rules now support more accurate live rate calculations.
Finally, DecoNetwork-powered custom-apparel storefronts will benefit from a number of new features designed to improve both the user experience and discoverability. Specifically, according to DecoNetwork, customers can now log in via email, product images are rendered at higher resolution, and custom page URLs offer better control over SEO.
Other upgrades include:
