What We’re Working On

At BackupMaster, we’re committed to delivering continuous improvements to enhance your experience. Here’s what we’re actively working on:

  • Enhanced Bulk Operation Management (Shopify/BigCommerce):
    We’re developing new features to provide detailed insights into errors during bulk operations. Soon, you’ll have the ability to restart failed bulk operations and focus only on items with errors, making the process more efficient and user-friendly.
  • Meta Objects and Reference Cloning (Shopify):
    We’re working on adding support for backing up and restoring meta objects in Shopify, providing even more comprehensive data protection. Additionally, we’re developing functionality to clone metafield values that reference other resources, ensuring accurate duplication during store transfers or testing environments.
  • BigCommerce Stability and Expansion:
    Our team is focused on further stabilizing the BigCommerce integration to ensure a seamless experience. Additionally, we’re exploring support for new data types, including B2B Editions, to expand the app’s capabilities for BigCommerce users.

These updates are designed to provide you with greater control, reliability, and flexibility as we continue to refine our solutions. Stay tuned for more exciting developments!
