URGENT: iPhone Weebly app ceased pushing new online order notifications

I raised this issue with an agent via Chat yesterday.  Weebly iPhone app is no longer giving us a notification when we receive an online order.  Consequently - and subsequently to aforementioned chat - we missed a new order which was supposed to be delivered yesterday.

 

Please fix this bug as soon as possible.  We may very well get a negative review because of a clumsy product update on your end.

 

Thank you.

HI, this issue was raised on another discussion and very valid. 

 

Please also know if you have already pushed the new iPhone update on your phone, the app will need to be removed and reinstalled.

Thank you for the info.

 

We removed and reinstalled the app on our 2 iPhones, placed an order and no notification pushed on either phone.  If we go into app and refresh the orders then our order will appear.  Better than nothing but this worked beautifully until recently.

 

I visited the link you provided - thank you - and I don’t think it’s too applicable.  It’s from April and it says the app won’t push notifications and needs to be running but that has never been the case.

@FadedPoppy Hey there. You mentioned talking with a Support advocate right? Did they create a ticket for engineering to look? Did the advocate give next steps?

Hi @JustinC  - I did indeed speak to a Support advocate via chat first thing yesterday morning.  I thought I'd requested a transcript of the conversation but am unable to locate now.

 

I reported 3 issues to them.  I believe this was the primary one and I believe they said they'd added my contact info to a list so I'd get notification when a fix was available.  This is all well and good but they couldn't advise of approximate ETA.  Seems like this issue should be getting some priority.

 

The chat was all very disappointing.  As I said I logged 3 bugs and none of them were able to be resolved.  2 of them were purportedly related to some syncing changes that had been made to the database and which the devs were looking into.  Of these one should get fixed at some point in the future (no longer have ability to update the Status of an Order via Weebly app) and the other never will get fixed (unable to set the Status of an Order to Complete because I Cancelled one item within it) because the Tier 2 techs were unable to determine how it happened.

 

I received an invitation to a Square Beta Testing Program this morning.  This appeared to be for the mobile Square app as opposed to the Weebly app.  Seems you folks need one on the Weebly / Square.Online side of things because these last updates have really thrown a wrench in our works.

 

While I have your attention I have some other usability issues.  We have it setup such that the Square.Online DB is in sync with our Square PoS DB.  As such, when our wholesaler ships us product it's automatically added to our PoS DB and consequently to Online DB.  This is awesome.  The problems come when I need to configure those items on the Online side of things.  I may need to adjust such things as the Fulfilment, Category, Sales Tax, Visibility etc.  The problem is that it's so hard to locate the items because they're just bundled in with hundreds of existing items.  Can it be made such that items could be sorted by Date Added or similar - something to be able to separate them out?  Once found, when multiple are selected and an attribute adjusted via Mass Edit all those selected items are deselected.  Why?  This means it's necessary to select them all over again to change another attribute.  I think Beta testing would be your guys best weapon to success.

 

Thanks for listening,

 

Jason.

Any update on this that anybody can provide?

 

Is anybody else affected by this or is it just our two iPhones?

 

Is anybody else even bothered about this ... as we enter the busiest sales time of the year?

Hey there, @FadedPoppy

 

Stepping in for Justin!

 

I don't have an update for this as of yet. Since you have spoken with our CS Team and a case has been created, they will reach out to you with an update directly. 

 

Thank you!

It's 1/26/21 and still no communication from the CS Team.  However, I am pleased to report that notifications started being pushed this past weekend.

I'm having the same issue using the Android Square app - no push notifications are coming through at all. This is a serious issue. Any resolution yet?
