Client Services Updates 

Do you sell bikes? Skis? Snowboards?

Would you like to show your snow sports products on your SmartEtailing website? We are excited to announce the expansion of our online catalog to include snow sports for the 2019-2020 season. This add-on catalog is available to any SmartEtailing client who would like to showcase their snow sports inventory on their website. Click here to learn more

Payment gateway updates

To protect the privacy of your customers we are implementing new security standards for the SmartEtailing platform. Many of these changes are happening behind the scenes, but we need your help with one very important step. If your website does not currently have a secure online payment gateway, we need you to please configure a secure payment gateway before July 15, 2019. After this date your website will no longer store customer credit card information for offline payment. If you are a retailer effected by this update, we have sent you an email and will continue to contact you until the proper changes have been made.
