Stay up to date with the latest Shelva features, improvements, and fixes.
POS Enhancements
The Shopify POS experience has been improved to feel more responsive, reliable, and easier to use, especially on mobile devices.
This release includes several stability and usability improvements:
Product-Specific Label Designs
You can now assign different label designs to individual products, instead of relying only on one global template.
This makes it easy to highlight certain products with a unique layout while keeping everything else consistent.
You can:
Clear "Needs Republish" Indicators
Shelva now clearly shows when a label design has been changed but not yet pushed to the physical label.
Products that need republishing are marked with a visible warning, so there's no confusion between what you see in the app and what's currently on the shelf.
This helps prevent missed updates and keeps in-store pricing accurate.
Cleaner Label Design Experience
The label design page has been refined to feel more stable and predictable when switching between designs and sizes.
Settings now stay in sync properly, and the page no longer changes unexpectedly while you're editing.
The experience is also fully responsive on mobile, making quick edits easier on smaller screens.
Simpler Template Status on Products
The products page now shows template information in a cleaner way:
This reduces visual clutter while still calling out what matters.
Improved Navigation
Navigating back from a product or label configuration now reliably returns you to the products page with the correct location and view intact, making multi-location workflows smoother.
This release also includes several stability and usability fixes:
No action required.
All existing label designs were automatically converted into default templates, and everything continues working as before.
More Control Over Variant Labels
You can now choose exactly what appears as secondary text on variant labels.
For products with multiple variants, Shelva lets you decide whether labels show the variant name, description, weight, stock, or SKU. This makes variant-heavy products clearer on the shelf and easier for customers to understand.
Field-Level Overrides
Overrides are now more flexible and precise.
Instead of overriding everything at once, you can choose exactly which fields to override, such as title, price, compare-at price, secondary text, or QR code, while letting everything else stay in sync with Shopify. This gives you much finer control without breaking automation.
Low Battery Label Alerts
Shelva can now help you spot labels with low batteries.
When enabled, labels with low battery levels will automatically flash, making them easy to identify and replace before they go offline. This helps reduce surprises and keeps displays reliable.
Smarter Price Display on Sale Labels
Bold sale templates now automatically adjust large prices so they always fit cleanly on the label.
This prevents overlapping or cut-off prices when dealing with higher price points or sale pricing.
Cleaner Label Design Page
The label design page has been reorganized to make settings easier to find and understand.
Variant secondary text options are clearer, controls are better grouped, and the experience works more smoothly on mobile.
Global Label Management
You can now manage labels across all locations at once using Global Mode.
This allows you to:
Global Mode gives multi-location stores a clearer, more efficient way to manage their labels and products.
Freezer Label Support
Shelva now supports freezer-rated labels for cold and frozen environments.
Freezer labels are clearly marked throughout the app, making them easy to identify and pair correctly. They can be used across all enabled locations and are kept separate from standard labels to avoid mix-ups. This makes it simple to manage pricing in freezers while keeping everything organized.
Move Labels and Hubs Between Locations
Hardware can now be moved between locations directly inside Shelva.
You can reassign labels or hubs when displays change or stores are reorganized, without needing manual support. Shelva automatically handles the cleanup during moves so everything stays accurate and consistent.
Visible Plan Limits
Your label plan usage is now clearly displayed on the products page.
You'll see how many labels are currently published compared to your plan limit, with unlimited plans clearly marked. This helps you understand capacity at a glance and plan ahead as your store grows.
Improved Hardware Page
The hardware page has been redesigned with a larger, clearer table layout.
Labels and hubs are easier to scan, sort, and manage, making day-to-day hardware work faster and less cluttered.
Clearer Publishing Feedback
When publishing labels, you'll now see clearer progress updates and more helpful success or error messages.
This makes it easier to know what's happening and when a label is fully updated.
This release also includes stability and reliability improvements:
Location Enable/Disable Controls
You can now manage which store locations are active inside Shelva without changing anything in Shopify.
Improved Text Wrapping for Bold Templates
Bold templates now handle longer product titles more gracefully. Product names can wrap to two lines when space allows, and font sizing adjusts more intelligently to keep everything clear and readable. Secondary text also adapts better for cleaner layouts across all Bold label sizes.
Expanded Shipping Options
Label orders can now ship to even more countries across North America, Oceania, and Western Europe.
New Font: Lexend Peta
A new, highly readable font option is now available in the label designer. Lexend Peta provides a clean, modern look and works well for stores wanting stronger visibility on shelves.
This update includes several important reliability improvements:
New Bold Label Templates
We've introduced an entirely new Bold label style across all sizes. This template gives your labels a clean, modern look and supports:
The Bold style is designed to help products stand out and improve readability on the shelf.
Simpler Label Design Workflow
We added helpful tooltips throughout the label design page to guide you as you customize. You'll find:
These changes make it easier to create polished labels without guesswork.
Clearer Auto-Sync Information
Auto-sync indicators now reflect settings for each location more accurately. It's easier to see whether a location is using instant or scheduled sync and whether auto sync is turned on.
This update also includes several fixes that improve reliability:
Instant Product Syncing
You can now choose between scheduled syncing or our new instant sync option. When instant sync is enabled, any price or product change in Shopify updates your labels automatically in real time. This keeps your labels accurate without manual action.
For instant sync mode, we've also introduced a new tracking system that shows every product update Shelva receives from Shopify. This gives you a clear view of what changed, when it changed, and whether the update reached your labels.
Improved Location Management
Locations are now archived instead of deleted. Archived locations stay out of your way in the app but remain available if you ever need them again. This helps keep your store list clean without losing any history.
New Font Option
We've added Figtree as a new font option in the label design page. Merchants can now select Figtree from the font list when customizing their shelf labels for a fresh, modern look.
Mobile Improvements
We fixed several layout issues to make Shelva smoother on mobile:
Hardware and Products Pages Refresh
The hardware and products pages now update every few seconds, giving you near real-time information about your Hubs and labels while you work.
Webhook History Redesign
Product update events are now grouped together in a single, easy-to-read card, making it simpler to understand what changed.
Simpler Label Control in POS
Clearer POS UI
Stripe Integration - Label Purchase Available
You can now fully purchase and pay for orders for 100 labels or less directly through the app, making it easier to get started with smaller orders.
Updated Refund Policy
To keep things simple and fair:
All pricing, checkout calculations, and emails have been updated to reflect this.
Updated Shipping Estimates
Delivery timelines have been adjusted to 3–8 weeks, reflecting current logistics.
While you won't see these directly, they make Shelva faster and more reliable:
