As your business expands, managing inventory across multiple warehouses can get complicated. X-Cart 5.6.0 is built to facilitate the whole process and make it transparent and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n All Your Locations in One Place <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Add, edit, and manage all your physical locations right from your X-Cart dashboard (Store > Locations).<\/p>\n\n\n
\n Track Inventory Per Location<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nKnow exactly what you have in stock at each specific warehouse.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n Bulk Import & Export<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nSave precious time by adding or updating all your locations and their stock levels at once using a simple CSV file.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n Control Shipping by Location<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nEasily enable or disable shipping from any location with a single click. This will automatically update shipping rates and ensure orders are routed correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n Granular Inventory Control at Your Fingertips<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\nWe’ve revamped how you manage stock with a brand new, dedicated Inventory section (Catalog > Inventory).<\/p>\n\n\n
\n Centralized Stock View<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nGet a bird’s-eye view of your entire inventory across all locations from a single dashboard. See stock levels for each warehouse, plus a total count, all in one table.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n Direct & Bulk Editing<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nQuickly update stock quantities directly on the new inventory page. Need to make bigger changes? Use our enhanced bulk editing tools<\/strong> to adjust inventory settings, including backorder availability, for multiple products at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Powerful Filtering<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nEasily find the products you’re looking for by filtering by category, stock status (In Stock, Low Stock, etc.), and now, by specific Location<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Smarter Import\/Export<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nUpdating stock has never been easier. The new inventory.csv import allows you to add, subtract, or completely overwrite stock quantities for specific locations.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/picture> <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n \n\n\nGetting products to your customers efficiently is crucial. These new tools in X-Cart give you unprecedented control over your shipping logic.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n Introducing Shipping Profiles<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n \n \n ![\"2.png\"](\"https:\/\/www.x-cart.com\/img\/40206\/2-p950.png\")
<\/picture> <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n \n\n\nGroup products to create custom shipping rules. For example, set up special rates for fragile items or products that ship from a specific warehouse. Each profile connects your locations<\/strong> to customer shipping zones<\/strong> with specific rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Intelligent Order Routing<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n \n \n ![\"9.png\"](\"https:\/\/www.x-cart.com\/img\/40218\/9-p950.png\")
<\/picture> <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n \n\n\nOur new Order Routing system automatically determines the most efficient way to fulfill every order. It uses smart rules like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Minimize split shipments:<\/strong> The system will try to ship an entire order from a single location whenever possible to save on costs and complexity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Prioritize by rule:<\/strong> You can now prioritize which shipping rule gets applied first, getting more control over fulfillment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
\n Manually Create & Edit Orders<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n \n \n ![\"1-1.png\"](\"https:\/\/www.x-cart.com\/img\/40204\/1-1-p950.png\")
<\/picture> <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n \n\n\nYou now have the power to create draft orders for customers from the admin panel. Add products, select a customer, and even manually adjust shipments if the automatic routing isn’t quite right.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n Take Control with Powerful Price Management<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n \n \n ![\"6.png\"](\"https:\/\/www.x-cart.com\/img\/40210\/6-p950.png\")
<\/picture> <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n \n\n\nPricing is a challenge, too, especially with fluctuating costs and vendor pricing policies. X-Cart\u2019s new price management features are here to help.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n Maintain Profit Margins Automatically<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nSet a target profit margin for each brand based on Cost, MSRP, or Jobber Price. If prices dip below your set margin, they will automatically adjust to protect your profits.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n Simplify MAP Compliance<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n \n \n ![\"4-1.png\"](\"https:\/\/www.x-cart.com\/img\/40214\/4-1-p950.png\")
<\/picture> <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n \n\n\nManage Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) policies with flexible options. You can use your vendor’s MAP, automatically select the highest MAP from all suppliers, or turn off enforcement when it isn’t needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This means you can avoid underpricing, reduce manual work with automated adjustments, and ensure you’re always competitive and compliant.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n Under the Hood: A Faster, More Modern X-Cart Platform in 5.6.0<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\nFor our developers and tech-savvy users, this update includes significant platform upgrades to make your store faster, more secure, and ready for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n Major Tech Upgrades<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nWe’ve upgraded X-Cart to Symfony 6.4<\/strong> and API Platform 3<\/strong>, with support for PHP 8.4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Performance Boost<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nWe’ve made massive improvements to how the system handles data, resulting in up to 10x faster<\/strong> server response times (TTFB) in some cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Modern URL Structure<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nWe’ve changed the format for clean URLs to be even more SEO-friendly (e.g., \/product\/your-product-name).<\/p>\n\n\n
\n Required Workers<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nLong-running tasks like email notifications, image processing, and imports are now handled by background workers, ensuring your store remains fast and responsive at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n Bootstrap 5<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe customer-facing area of your store now uses the latest Bootstrap 5 for a more modern look and feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a complete list of technical changes and instructions on updating, please see our X-Cart 5.5.1.x to 5.6.0.x Migration Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are incredibly excited about the release of X-Cart 5.6.0<\/strong> and can’t wait for you to start using these new features to grow your business.
