We’ve removed the DIM Weight calculator from the Edit Listing and New Product pages to streamline shipping rate calculations across marketplaces. Marketplaces like Shopgoodwill previously required this information, but they have now migrated to using the item weight and shipping box dimensions to provide accurate calculated shipping prices to buyers.
With this update, the product dimensions, shipping box and box padding, and item weights entered by users will be passed to the marketplaces for calculating shipping charges based on what information is entered in Lister of the options below:
Option 1:
If a Shipping Box and Shipping Weight are selected, they will determine the calculated shipping cost.
Option 2:
If the Shipping Box is not set, the Shipping Weight, Product Length, Width, and Height, plus any selected Box Padding, will be used to determine the shipping dimensions for calculated shipping.
Notes:
- If neither of the above methods is used, the Lister will lack sufficient information to determine the shipping dimensions, which may result in under or overcharging shipping on the marketplace, or the listing will fail and go to the Attention Required tab of the Listing Manager.
- For best results, always include the Shipping Weight when creating a listing with calculated shipping.
- If needed, users can still manually increase the shipping weight to account for the weight of packaging material (for example, void fill and box weight).
We’ve added a new optional feature to Lister that shows historical prices for sold items across the Upright Lister client base. This helps organizations to leverage historical listing data and predict accurate prices for new listings!
Price Prediction
compares the keywords, title, product category, and item condition of a new listing to similar products sold via Lister and shows the related items and average selling prices based on the selected listing type (Fixed Price or Auction format). We recommend sharing this article with your Listers so they can learn how to use the tool!
How to Opt-In to Use Price Price Prediction:
- Click the gear icon in the top right navigation menu of Lister to go to the admin settings pages
- Click “Products” in the left navigation menu
- Click on the button under the Price Prediction section to toggle on and join the beta feature to leverage historical listing data to predict accurate prices for new listings. By opting in, you confirm you are authorized to add this functionality on behalf of your organization
- Click “Save” at the bottom of the page
How to Use Price Prediction While Listing
Once you’ve joined the Price Prediction beta by following the steps above, a new section will be added to the listing form to show historical prices based on the marketplace listing category and title.
- Begin listing as normal: Select a category and listing strategy, and complete the builder template (if applicable)
- If a Price Prediction match is found, a notification will show under the listing title
- A price range for similar sold items will show in the Channels section of the listing form
- Click “View historical listings" to review the listing photos and titles of related items, along with price ranges for those items
- Review historical listings to see similar sold item price range and their average starting price (if an auction-style listing)
- Compare Matching Listings to view similar items you have previously sold
- Review Aggregate Listings to compare keywords, sold prices, listing formats, and conditions of similar items sold by other Price Prediction users
We've released a new version of Link to the App Store! This new version includes several bug fixes and the following new and improved features:
Quick Scan Tool Moved on Dashboard
We’ve moved the scanning tool icon on the dashboard and made it larger and easier to tap. Your team will now open the camera to scan a SKU by tapping the scan icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Updated Pick Orders Screen
The product view on the Pick Orders page now clearly shows the product location and what bin cart each item should be placed in if using tote-picking carts and Pick by Location Picking Profiles.
Product Status Visible in Reshelf
We’ve added the current status of each product to the reshelf screen when scanning. This can help teams who don’t want to add draft products to inventory until they’ve been listed or help catch inactive items while inventory is being reorganized.
Improved Camera Settings Menu
We’ve updated the camera settings menu to be less intrusive when taking pictures. The zoom, brightness, and flash options now only display after tapping the expand icon in the bottom menu.
Urgent Tasks Notifications
We’ve added a notification area for select organizations that use Shopify POS to help identify orders that need immediate attention. In addition, Link now has push notifications to alert you when a new Urgent Task is created.
How to check if Link is up to date in the App Store:
If automatic updates are turned on, your app should update within the next 1-2 days. Otherwise, you'll need to update from the App Store manually.
- Tap the “App Store” icon from the home screen
- Tap the “Search” icon
- Enter “Upright Link” in the search bar

We’ve improved the Attention Required tab of the Listing Manager to speed up the review of failed listings, similar to Pending Listing Review!

We’ve added a “Generate Barcodes” button on the Products page to create and print SKUs unconnected to manifests.
This feature is great for small teams working in a single location with an e-commerce processing area and a physical retail floor for in-person shoppers. This feature will significantly speed up these teams' photography and listing process!
Note:
For larger teams, if you manifest every item and/or have multiple suppliers, you won’t need to use this feature, so please give your team a heads-up to ignore this feature in their day-to-day workflow!How to Use:
If you’re not using manifests to create products, follow the steps below to get started:
- Navigate to the Products page
- Click the “Generate barcodes” button
- Select the number of barcodes you want to print
- Optional: Enter a prefix code to appear at the start of the SKU
- Optional (but recommended): Click the “create drafts” checkbox
- Click “Print” to print SKUs to your connected label printer
If you’ve selected the option to create draft products for your barcodes, you can scan the barcode in Link to pull up the draft product, add pictures, and begin the listing process.
We’ve added a new feature in Lister to automatically import Hammoq Conveyor Product Notes to your listings!
This new feature allows you to import product details from your Hammoq conveyor to any draft product based on the product SKU: 
Images and product details will populate into the draft product: 
The product details imported to the draft product notes, will automatically be added and formatted within the listing description during listing: 
This process also happens automatically based on product SKU during the category selection step: 
Both of these methods for importing Hammoq conveyor data should help reduce manual data entry and speed up the listing process.
We’ve added a new feature to Lister allowing you to automatically forward your Shopify listings to Shopify-connected sales channels via the Facebook & Instagram app and the Google & YouTube app!
To get started, check out our Help Center article on Shopify Publication Forwarding!
We’ve added a new notification bar on the admin homepage to show how many Attention Required listings need corrections before they can be successfully listed. Resolving Attention Required listings quickly keeps your product moving and available for sale.
"Attention Required" Listings Definition:
Listings in the Attention Required tab cannot list or relist because of an error or issue. These listings are not live on a marketplace until the underlying issue is manually corrected. Leaving these issues unresolved can cause issues with inventory space being taken up by ‘stalled’ products and missed revenue opportunities.
Clicking “Review listings” takes you to the Attention Required tab of the Listing Manager for the specified marketplace. Once the individual errors are corrected and saved, the listing will be published.
For more information on common marketplace errors, please review our help center guides linked below.
