Allow Tax Override on Line Items

Dealers can now manually control the taxable status of individual line items directly from Quotes and Orders.

A new Allow tax override on line items setting is available under Sales Tax Settings. When enabled, users can mark eligible standard catalog items as taxable or non-taxable, giving dealers more flexibility to handle tax requirements that may vary by product or customer situation.

What’s New

  • New account setting: Administrators can enable Allow tax override on line items under Sales Tax Settings.

  • Standard items: Once enabled, standard catalog items can be manually marked as taxable or non-taxable from the Quote or Order.

  • Custom items: Custom line items continue to support taxability selection as before.

  • Tax-exempt customers: Tax override is automatically disabled when the customer is marked as tax exempt.

  • Built-in appliances: The default taxability follows the existing Built-in Appliance Tax setting and can be overridden when applicable.

  • Related charges: Protection plans and fulfillment charges continue to follow the taxable status of their associated product based on the existing tax rules.

Important to Know

  • The feature is disabled by default. Administrators must enable it before standard line items can use tax override.

  • When disabled, the existing tax behavior remains unchanged.

  • Existing Quotes keep their previously saved taxability values if the account setting is later changed.

  • Tax override controls are hidden for existing line items after a Quote is converted to an Order or once an item has been paid. Newly added Order line items can still use the override when applicable.

  • This feature provides manual taxability control; it does not automatically determine state, county, or local tax requirements.

Appliance.io Updates & Improvements

July 23rd, 2026

Support OEM Warranty Fields (WarrantyParts & WarrantyLabor)

Orders created through the CPS integration now include manufacturer warranty duration information when valid warranty data is available.

What's New

  • Manufacturer warranty duration is automatically sent to CPS during order creation.

  • Warranty information is mapped to the WarrantyParts and WarrantyLabor fields.

  • Warranty data is validated before being sent to ensure compatibility with CPS.

  • Invalid or unsupported warranty values are skipped, allowing orders to continue processing without interruption.

Important Notes

  • This enhancement applies only to new CPS orders. Existing orders are not updated.

  • Only valid warranty durations in months are supported.

  • The same warranty duration is sent to both WarrantyParts and WarrantyLabor.

  • Missing or invalid warranty data will not prevent an order from being created.

Improve Dashboard Route Visibility for Multi-Warehouse Companies

We've improved the Dashboard Routing widget to support multi-warehouse companies by using the selected warehouse when retrieving route information. This ensures the Dashboard displays the correct routes and provides a more consistent experience with the Routing page.

What's New

  • Added warehouse support when retrieving route data from the Dashboard.

  • Multi-warehouse companies can now view routes for the selected warehouse directly from the Dashboard.

  • Route information is now retrieved using the same warehouse logic as the Routing page.

  • Single-warehouse companies continue to use the Dashboard without any changes to their existing workflow.

Important Notes

  • This enhancement primarily benefits multi-warehouse companies.

  • If no routes appear on the Dashboard, ensure the correct warehouse is selected.

  • The Dashboard and Routing page now use the same warehouse context when displaying route information.

  • No changes have been made to route planning or delivery workflows; this update only improves how route data is retrieved and displayed on the Dashboard.

Fix Order Totals Breakdown Mismatch When Returns Exist

We've improved how order totals are displayed for orders that include returns, item removals, customer credits, or other adjustments. Order summaries now present original order amounts separately from return activity, making it easier to understand how the final order balance is calculated.

What's New

  • Primary order totals now consistently display the original order amounts before returns are applied.

  • Added a dedicated Returns & Adjustments section to summarize return-related activity.

  • Product Total now includes a detailed breakdown showing all products that contributed to the original total.

  • Returned products are clearly identified within the Product Total breakdown.

  • Updated totals labels for improved consistency and readability.

Important Notes

  • This update changes how order totals are displayed, not how they are calculated.

  • The Returns & Adjustments section appears only for orders that contain return activity.

  • Orders without returns continue to display the existing totals layout.

  • Return processing, customer credits, tax calculations, payment processing, and accounting workflows are unchanged.

Update Product Links to Open SKUDeck™

Product links in Quotes, Orders, and Product Details now open directly in SKUDeck™ instead of the dealer's website, making it faster and easier to view product information.

What's New

  • Product links from Quotes, Orders, and Product Details now open the matching product in SKUDeck™.

  • SKUDeck™ automatically searches for the selected product using its model number and brand.

  • The Quote and Order link label has been updated from "View Website Page" to "View in SKUDeck™".

  • Dealers can access product information consistently, regardless of whether they have a website.

Important Notes

  • This update changes only where product links open. Quote, Order, and Product Details workflows remain unchanged.

  • SKUDeck™ uses both the product model number and brand to help identify the correct product.

  • If multiple brands share the same model number, the brand is used to open the appropriate product.

  • If no matching product exists in SKUDeck™, the product may not open as expected.

  • Dealers may notice higher tax totals if fulfillment services are taxable in their jurisdiction.

  • Individual tax rules for different fulfillment fee types are not supported in this release.

✨ Update: Website Builder

What's New

Website Builder is now available as a dedicated experience for creating, managing, and publishing websites.

This release introduces a simplified website onboarding flow, direct content editing, page and section management, SEO controls, custom code support, and a Draft → Publish workflow that gives users greater control over how website changes are prepared and released.

In addition, the storefront experience has been refreshed with updated Hero and Best Seller sections to improve navigation, product discovery, and overall visual consistency.

New Features

  • Creating custom pages

  • Renaming pages

  • URL configuration

  • Index visibility

  • Schema type selection

Website Configuration Enhancements

Users can now manage key website settings directly through Website Builder and Site Settings, including:

  • Website branding

  • Product categories

  • Domains

  • Checkout configuration

  • Custom Code

Custom Code Support

Website Admins and Super Admins can now add custom:

  • JavaScript

  • CSS

  • HTML

  • Analytics tools

  • Marketing pixels

  • Third-party widgets and integrations

Custom Code follows the same Draft → Publish workflow as other website updates.

The Hero section has been redesigned to create a clearer visual hierarchy and improve readability.

Changes include:

Changes include:

  • Standardized brand styling

  • Updated Add to Cart button styling

Promotional elements such as discount badges, strike-through pricing, Scratch & Dent labels, and countdown timers have been removed to create a cleaner shopping experience.

Workflow Improvements

Additional improvements include:

  • Saved onboarding progress across eligible users

  • Protection against conflicting onboarding sessions

  • Website preview before publishing

  • Clear separation between content management and website configuration

  • Improved publishing controls for website updates
