Development in May

In May we extended the Xero beta trial to more stores, added back office interfaces for the new gift card system and got the new bin fulfilment system to a point where it is ready for live testing. We increased cart load speed, split out cash accounts in aged receivables, improved website load speed with lazy loading and further invested in system and infrastructure improvements. 

Currently working on

  • Xero Integration
  • Order fulfilment improvements
  • Circle Gift Card
  • Infrastructure upgrades

How your website looks on Mobile

To ensure that your site looks good on mobile sidebar content has been removed.

On mobile there is not much space and you need books on the first screen, sidebar content creates clutter that gets in the way. 

If you have sidebar content that you want to display on mobile (contact information for example) move it to the footer under settings>website or onto a content page with a link from the footer.

Instagram, facebook and twitter feeds will not display on mobile.

Looking for a part time trainer

We are looking for a part time remote trainer. If you have worked in a bookshop, are tech savvy, know Circle inside out and fancy expanding in the tech direction let us know.
