We’re thrilled to announce a website feature update for Appliance.io, completed on January 16th, 2025! 🎉 This update brings exciting new features and improvements to enhance your browsing experience and make navigation smoother than ever. 🌟👨💻
1. 🚦 Category Visibility: Total Control at Your Fingertips!
✅ What’s New? Now you have the power to control which appliance categories appear on your website—whether through the “Categories” tab or more advanced settings on the brand page. Perfect for tailoring your site to reflect your inventory and sales!
🛠️ How It Works:
Use the Categories tab in eCommerce Settings to toggle entire categories on or off.
For advanced control, adjust category visibility directly on the Brand Page for a more granular approach.
Hidden categories are instantly removed from navigation, search, and product listings—keeping your site clean and focused.
⚡ Smart Tip: Use this feature to keep your website clean, relevant, and focused on the products your customers actually want.
💡 Why You’ll Love It: Simplify inventory management and customer experience! Say goodbye to displaying irrelevant categories and hello to a website that always matches your inventory. 🚀

Turn the category OFF on POS
2. 📍 Smart Pickup: Find the Closest In-Stock Location!
✅ What’s New? We’ve made it easier for your customers to find products available for pickup! Now, when there are multiple pickup locations, your website will automatically highlight the closest one with the product in stock—saving time and avoiding confusion.
🛠️ How It Works:
If the product is in stock at any pickup location: The closest location to the customer's zip code (or a predetermined zip code) will be displayed first.
If the product is out of stock at all pickup locations: The system will still show the nearest pickup location.
⚡ Pro Tip: Ensure your pickup locations and inventory data are up to date to give your customers a seamless experience!
💡 Why It Matters: Avoid confusion, keep customers happy, and ensure they find what they’re looking for—fast! 🚗
3. 🏷️ Filter Update: See What's On Display Locally!
✅ What’s New? We’ve revamped the filter to make it easier for your customers to find products on display at nearby stores!
🛠️ What’s Changed:
The filter title is now "On Display Locally".
New filter options:
Yes – Shows products on display at any store.
No – Shows products not on display at any store.
💡 Why It Matters: Save time by quickly finding products that are actually on display nearby—no more endless clicking!
