What's New? - December 2022

Rounding out the end of the year, it's time for our last update for 2022. 

We know it's been a really busy for most (hopefully all?) of you, and no doubt the holiday sales have been both hectic & exciting! 

As usual, we've been hard at work behind the scenes on making several improvements to Report Toaster. Here's a couple of quick snippets we wanted to share... 

County Data on Tax Reports 

Recently we've been working on a feature that allows us to get County data into Report Toaster. This topic is all over the Shopify forums, as most of you know that Shopify doesn't make county information available as a field to add to your reports.

For those of you who have to report taxable sales on a per-county basis, this can be quite annoying. Our hope then is that by adding this data, it should make filing taxes significantly easier.  

The end result would be a column that can be added to our Tax reports like so: 

Using this data, you can then see not just the totals owed for each jurisdiction (e.g. like the Taxes by Jurisdiction report) but can also compare on a per-order basis as well. This makes troubleshooting much easier, especially when you're hoping to investigate on a per-order basis. 

This data is made available to us from a third-party service that uses volume-based pricing. If this is something you're interested in adding to your account, contact us and we can discuss pricing & implementation accordingly. 

Status Page

Like it or not, outages are a fact of life. With how busy things can get during the holiday season, we thought it was a good idea to let our users know about our status page. 

https://status.cloudlab.com/

With luck, all you'll ever have to see on the page is this: 

From here you can check on the status of Report Toaster, including any outages or technical issues we might be experiencing. There's also a direct link (top right) if you're experiencing technical issues and would like to get in touch.

If the status page shows all services are operational, but you're still experiencing issues with logging into your account, you may want to check out our login guide here.

And that's it for today! Report Toaster has grown by leaps and bounds this year, and so in the spirit of the holiday season, we'd like to wish you all a pleasant break and look forward to hearing from you soon. :)

Note - Report Toaster will be available over the break, so you can email us as usual at support@cloudlab.com 

Until next time!
