One BIG Platform Update

We’ve been a little quieter than usual recently — but there’s been a lot happening behind the scenes at Light Ideas.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been rebuilding and improving the platform for both buyers and sellers.

Some of the improvements include:

• Improved product search and discovery — making it easier to find the right lighting
• Better product listings — including variations, improved images and richer product information
• A much-improved Seller Dashboard — bringing products, orders, delivery and shop management together
• Seller Media — giving sellers their own reusable image library
• Improved orders, delivery and tracking
• More flexible delivery options for sellers and buyers
• Improved payments, payouts and refunds
• Local currency shopping for customers around the world
• Light Ideas Accounts — improving sign up, sign in and account management
• A simpler seller application and setup process

We’re also continuing to lay the groundwork for the Light Ideas app.

A lot of this work isn’t immediately visible from the outside, but it gives us more control over the experience and lets us build Light Ideas specifically around people who want to buy and sell lighting.

We’d also like to apologise to sellers who have been waiting for their applications to be approved while this work has been taking place.

Rather than welcome new sellers halfway through these changes, we wanted to make sure the improved seller experience was ready first.

Thank you for your patience.
