Added USPS Live Shipping Integration
DecoNetwork v8.610 updates the USPS live shipping integration to use the latest USPS APIs. This gives DecoNetwork members a more current connection to USPS shipping services and helps online stores continue offering live shipping options during checkout.
For print shops and custom apparel businesses, shipping is part of the buying experience. Customers want to see shipping costs before placing an order, while shops want fewer manual shipping questions and fewer delays before fulfillment.
With USPS live shipping connected inside DecoNetwork, online stores can offer a clearer checkout experience. Customers can review shipping options before placing an order, and shops can reduce back-and-forth communication around shipping costs.
This is especially helpful for team stores, company stores, customer portals, and custom merch orders where order size, destination, and shipping needs can vary.
Added HTML Hex Code Support To Online Designer
DecoNetwork v8.610 adds HTML hex code support to the Online Designer color picker. Users can now enter colors as hex codes, making it easier to select, match, and reuse colors across different areas of the platform.
For print shops and custom merch businesses, color consistency matters. Customers often provide brand colors, school colors, team colors, or campaign colors that need to look consistent across product mockups and online designs.
With hex code support, users can enter a known color value instead of manually searching for the closest visual match. That helps reduce guesswork and supports cleaner design setup.
This is especially useful for branded merch, repeat orders, online store templates, school spirit wear, team apparel, and customer-supplied brand guides.
Added Chinese Localization
DecoNetwork v8.610 adds Chinese localization with Chinese (Traditional) now available under Localization Settings. This gives DecoNetwork members another language option for supporting multilingual customers across online stores and customer experiences.
Language can affect how easily customers browse, understand, and place orders. When customers can use a store in a familiar language, the buying process feels clearer and more accessible.
Chinese localization can help print shops better support Traditional Chinese-speaking customers through online stores, customer portals, team stores, school stores, and branded merch campaigns.
For businesses serving multilingual communities, this update helps reduce friction and create a more welcoming customer experience.
Added Sales Goal Progress Widget
DecoNetwork v8.610 adds a sales goal progress widget for affiliate stores. The widget lets stores show progress toward a revenue or earnings goal, giving customers a clear reason to buy, share, and support a campaign.
This is a useful update for fundraisers, school spirit stores, team apparel stores, branded merch campaigns, and affiliate stores. Instead of keeping sales goals hidden behind the scenes, stores can now display progress directly on the page.
Visible progress can make a store feel more active. When shoppers see a goal, they understand what the store is trying to achieve. When they see progress, they can understand how their order helps.
For print shops, the sales goal progress widget creates a more engaging online store experience without adding a complicated sales strategy. The target is clear, the progress is visible, and the customer understands the next step.
Added Multi-Factor Authentication For Logins
DecoNetwork v8.610 adds multi-factor authentication for operator and customer logins. MFA gives DecoNetwork members an extra layer of account security beyond a password.
This matters because print shops manage important business and customer information inside DecoNetwork, including quotes, orders, artwork, customer accounts, online store activity, production workflows, and fulfillment details.
With MFA available for operators and customers, businesses can better protect access to the platform. Operators get safer access to admin and production tools. Customers get added confidence when logging in to view account details, orders, approvals, or store activity.
For growing shops with multiple staff members, repeat buyers, and customer portals, stronger login security supports a more professional online experience.
The Takeaway
DecoNetwork update v8.610 gives print shops, garment decorators, and branded merchandise businesses practical tools to improve online selling, customer trust, design accuracy, shipping, and accessibility.
With updated USPS live shipping, multi-factor authentication, a sales goal progress widget, HTML hex code support, and Chinese localization, DecoNetwork members can create smoother workflows and better online store experiences.
This update is about making everyday operations easier. Shops can offer clearer shipping options, protect account access, motivate customers with visible store goals, match colors more accurately, and support more multilingual buyers inside the platform they already use.
