Multiple Managers is a great feature a lot of people have been asking for. Sometimes it’s annoying to have a single sign in email address and password for multiple store managers. But with this feature, you can invite others to help manage your store, while letting them have their own sign in details.

To add new store managers:

1. Go into your dashboard by signing in on the homepage.
2. Go to your store’s “Settings” area.
3. Next to where it says “Store Managers”, click “Add Another”.
4. Enter the email address of the person you’d like to invite in the “Invite Someone” box, and click “Send Invitation”.
5. Note that this person’s email address is now in the “Pending Invitations” section.
6. Once this person accepts your invitation, their email address will be located in the “Confirmed Managers” section.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

After Black Friday, a bunch of store owners had some great ideas for our discount code system. We picked out two of the best, and added them. Here’s a quick overview of the new features:

Free Shipping Add-On

With this option, you can add free shipping to any other discount. For instance, if you wanted to give out a free promotional copy of a physical item, you can give someone a discount code, that not only gives them the item for free, but also gives them the shipping for free.

Discount Links

This allows you to create a URL to anywhere in your store, and then automatically apply a discount to the cart. It makes it extremely easy to give out a discount to a specific person. Obviously, this works well with the Free Shipping Add-On feature above. If you wanted to give someone a promotional item, the Discount Link would make it easier for the person you’re giving it to.

To build a Discount Link, just click “Link” next to any discount in the “Discount Codes” section of your store’s admin area.

A few weeks ago, we talked about PledgeMusic, a direct-to-fan service that we think is doing something amazing for the music industry. PledgeMusic helps artists and bands design a fundraising campaign to raise money for their next release. In that post, we also said that’d be working with them a lot in the future. Well today, we’re really excited to announce a brand new feature that we’re calling the PledgeMusic Splash Page.

With a few clicks, the PledgeMusic Splash Page lets you greet every fan that comes to your Limited Run store with a special splash page, promoting your current PledgeMusic project. After you install the Module and tell us where your artist page at PledgeMusic is, we’ll automatically generate a splash page for your store, complete with your project’s details and a badge that shows off its current status.

Your fans can then click through to PledgeMusic to learn more about your project or they can continue into your store.

We’re really excited to be working with PledgeMusic and would like to say thanks to everyone over there for helping to make this feature possible!

Earlier this year, the creators of Limited Run announced a brand new, self-serve, download card service, called Card Included. As you know, Card Included made download cards incredibly easy and affordable. Within minutes you could design a card, upload your music, and download a ready-to-print PDF of all your cards. It didn’t matter if you needed 25 or 2500, Card Included was there, ready to go.

Today, we’re happy to announce that we’ve stepped it up again, with five huge improvements.

Lossless Audio Uploads & Multi-Format Downloads

You now have the option of uploading your lossless audio files, rather than a single zip. When you upload lossless, we’ll automatically convert it to a bunch of great formats and let your fans pick which they want to download.

Any Website as Your Download Page

You can now make any website be the page your fans see when downloading. After they download, the site will be there waiting for them. Have the page be the news section of your website. Or your store. Maybe you have a pre-order you want to promote. Anything is possible.

Expanded Social Links on Custom Pages

Although we’ve added the embedded website feature, you can still choose to make a custom download page instead. And if you’re using a custom page, you’ll be happy to know that we’ve added a slew of new links you can add like: YouTube, Blogger, WordPress, Last.fm and more.

Shorter Download URLs

We’ve significantly reduced the size of our download URLs. Where your fans used to have type 15 character codes, they now only have to type 5 characters.

Reorders

Need another run of cards? No problem! Just click the link in your confirmation email, and enter the number of cards you need. That’s it!

We’re extremely proud of these recent changes. Card Included used to be the only self-serve download card service, now it’s also the only lossless audio download card service. It just keeps getting better. And the price is still just 1 penny per 20 MBs!
