Welcome to the first eStoreware monthly update. We are using this series to keep clients informed about new releases, improvements to existing tools, useful website tips, and features currently in development.
Sales Reps
The new eStoreware Sales Reps tools help businesses organize customer assignments, give representatives a dedicated view of their accounts, and protect administrative information through role-based access.
What it includes
- Customer-to-representative assignments
- Dedicated Sales Rep portal
- Representative-associated order tracking
- Commission review and management
- Sales Rep role permissions
- Product access without exposing internal costs
- Read-only controls for approved areas
- Connection to the eStoreware Core Dashboard
Best fit
Sales Reps is designed for companies with outside salespeople, account managers, territories, assigned customer accounts, or commission-based relationships.
Why it matters
Representatives can find the information they need more quickly, while administrators keep control over pricing, costs, permissions, and customer ownership.

September preview: the updated Stripe experience

Potential benefits

Important considerations
- Requires a configured Stripe account
- Webhooks must be configured correctly

SEO Manager
The upcoming SEO Manager is being designed to help administrators audit and improve SEO information across large catalogs and content pages.
Planned capabilities
- Review product, category, manufacturer, and topic-page SEO
- Find missing titles and meta descriptions
- Identify duplicate or incomplete fields
- Review search-friendly page names
- Organize pages that need attention
- Support store-specific and bulk management
Benefits and limitations
SEO Manager can improve consistency and reduce manual review time. It cannot guarantee search rankings, and generated recommendations should be reviewed. Results also depend on content quality, competition, site performance, backlinks, and time.
Place a test order like a customer
Review search, pricing, cart behavior, checkout, payment processing, confirmation emails, shipping information, and account access on both desktop and mobile. Finding small points of friction early can improve completed orders.
Continuing development
Features may change as testing and client feedback continue. We will identify availability clearly in future updates.
