Dutchie E-Commerce: New product and category sorting controls; delivery areas based on cities and towns; fixes

Enhancements

Manage products and category sorting

A new Menu section in E-Commerce Admin lets you control which products appear on your online menu and how they’re sorted.

• Manage Products tab: filter your catalog by status, brand, subcategory, or strain type, and toggle any product on/off the live site.

• Default Sort tab: set a Global Sort Method (Popular, Recently Added, or Relevance) site-wide, or override it per category. New per-category methods: Price and Potency (low-high/high-low), Brand, and Featured.

• Featured tab: drag-and-drop up to 100 products into a custom order for a category.

• Brand tab: drag-and-drop specific brands to the top of a category page.

Requires integration between Dutchie POS and Dutchie E-Commerce. Learn more in the Help Center.

Delivery areas based on cities and towns

You can now define your Dutchie E-Commerce delivery area by city or town, in addition to the existing mile radius, drawn zone, and zip code options.

• A new Cities / Towns option in Settings > Ordering > Delivery > Set delivery area by.

• Build one or more named zones, each made up of the specific cities/towns you deliver to (searched and selected via an address lookup, so there's no ambiguity between same-named towns in different states).

• Set a separate delivery fee (flat dollar or percent) and delivery minimum for each zone — so you can charge less for close-in towns and more for farther ones, all without drawing a map or maintaining zip code lists.

• Full add/edit/delete management for zones and the cities within them, with validation to prevent duplicate city assignments across zones.

There is no change to the customer checkout flow. Customers who enter a delivery address in one of your configured cities see the zone's fee/minimum as usual; customers outside all configured cities see the standard "outside the delivery area" messaging, with the option to switch to pickup or find a nearby store that delivers to them.

Fixes

We’ve released fixes for the following issues:

• Delivery settings can now be saved with a max delivery distance of 0 miles. This makes it easier to turn delivery off when needed.

• Some storefronts were incorrectly limiting products to a maximum quantity of 10 per order, even when the store’s configured quantity limit allowed more.

• The cart drawer on embedded menus could jump or re-render when shoppers tried to change item quantities. Quantity selectors now respond more reliably so shoppers can update their carts with less friction.

• We’ve updated Ohio compliance mapping so Single Serve Unit products are included in the appropriate non-flower purchase limit checks. This helps ensure online orders are blocked when carts exceed state-defined recreational purchase limits.
