In this update, we provide a range of improvements to Tracking, Checkout and Invoice Control functionality focusing on increased flexibility and customization.

Addons in Checkout API

We have introduced support for customizable addons in the Checkout API, allowing greater flexibility in how to handle optional choices for additional services in your delivery checkout.

The customization can be applied in various ways but here are the key takeaways:

• Consumers can provide input for each addon (with different datatypes), such as messages for greeting cards or door codes.
• Ability to configure which transporters support specific addons.
• Enabling varied pricing and availability depending on which checkout tactic is applied.

You can read more about the addons in the Checkout Addons page.

Update shipments

It is now posssible to update shipments with new information after adding the shipment to an order. This feature is especially useful when you need to update the shipment with new information, for example changing the transport method or adjusting the expected delivery time. Read more on the Tracking API page.

Improved event mapping view

We have released an updated version of our UI for editing event mappings. This new version includes several improvements:

• Enhanced performance, especially for transporters with many events
• Simplified process for changing external event mappings
• Updated and improved UI for editing messages
• Easier visibility of unsaved changes made

Other improvements

• Custom organization events can now have display names
• Improvements to status handling of invoices
• Added support for bulk reprocessing of invoices.
• It is now possible to configure which order journey is used by the tracking widget
• Organization locations can now have aliases, enabling you to connect your location identifiers to e.g. service point IDs used by transporters for your stores
• The invoice control functionality is now able to fully handle various types of addons, ensuring that non-standard charges such as insurance payments are not flagged up as deviations unless they violate the agreed-upon terms.
• Support for booking pallet shipments with DB Schenker
• Introduced a type for shipment documents to differentiate between labels, consignment notes and other documents
• Various performance improvements for handling locations

Email forwarding

You are now able to forward emails containing invoices as attachments to Skrym. We will automatically extract all invoices, process and add them to your list of invoices. All invoice formats are supported (PDF, CSV, XLSX) and are automatically connected to their correct column mappings if needed.

Visit the Invoice Control settings page on Scope to generate and view the email address you can forward your invoices to.

Improved order journey editing

We have also released an updated version of our UI for editing order journeys. The new version contains multiple improvements:

• Decluttered view and clearer hierarchy
• Live preview of the tracking timeline
• Brand new sandbox mode to load in and play around with order events to see how they affect the milestones

Other improvements

• Fixed a bug leading to not correctly handling working days from Klarna/Kustom Checkout
• Improved performance for Invoice Control pages
• The locations table now shows a preview of per-method availability and radius configuration for every location
• Invoice rows now have statuses and can be deleted or ignored from totals
• Fixed a bug in milestone conditions that prevented the "not exists" condition from working correctly
• When you use the "Ask Skrym" feature on any part of Scope, we automatically get a notification in Slack
• Full ZPL support for DB Schenker booking labels

You are now able to configure order journeys on Scope.

Order journeys are a powerful tool to describe the path a shipment might take and can be used for our tracking widget, statistics, notifications and much more.

Please visit the Order Journeys page on Scope to setup and configure you order journeys.
