This is achieved by adding a special price rule in AmberPOS for the members in the container that you would like to discount and then re-upload the container SKU to the web. This will change the price on the web to the new special price. It will not show the customer the discount they are receiving on BigCommerce, this will only update the price as if it was the normal price.

New update that imports the customer information properly from the Big Commerce Bill-to into the AmberPOS Bill-to customer info and then the Big Commerce Ship-to customer info will be populated in the transaction it self and updated on the customer Ship-to address.

LC Database now auto-shrinks every minute.

New update to the Dimension Group view which will now show how many dimension Aliases are present in the current group and also the Dimension listing will now show how many SKU's are using this dimension and how many use this on Big Commerce.

- Parent \ Daughter SKU association available for dimensional skus.  A customer wants to sell one (10 pack) of Medium Shirts and one (SINGLE) medium shirt as well, so in this case they need 2 SKU’s. If you sell a medium size in the daughter SKU it will now transfer the quantity from the medium size Parent SKU.  Must have identical dimension group association in both skus.
