  • Raise a glass—your referrals could toast you to free months (or a whole year) of Activ8!

    Toasting to referrals

    We’re keeping the good times (and good deals) rolling with our Referral Program—your chance to score serious savings just for introducing fellow wineries, distilleries, or craft beverage friends to Activ8 Commerce.

    Here’s the 2025 game plan:

    • 1 referral by 12/31/25 → entered to win 1 year free (drawing on Jan 1, 2026)
    • 2 referrals by 12/31/25 → 6 months free—no drawing, just instant savings
    • 4 referrals by 12/31/25 → 1 full year free—guaranteed 🎯

    To qualify:
    Your referrals just need to be active and processing transactions by year’s end.

    It’s easy: click below, share the good news, and let’s grow this community together.

    Cheers to saving big and helping friends find their perfect commerce partner!

    Looking forward to seeing who you send our way!

    Cheers,

    The Λctiv8 Team

  • New in Activ8 POS: Smarter Customer Insights, Transfer Notes & More

    We’re excited to roll out a fresh update to Activ8 POS, designed to make your daily operations faster, clearer, and more connected. Here’s what’s new in version 195:

    • Inventory Transfer Notes
      You can now add notes when performing inventory transfers directly in the POS. This gives your team added visibility and clarity around each movement.

    • Customer Search Enhancements
      When you search for a customer, you’ll now see both their pickup count and tasting room visit count for the current month. These are displayed as clickable buttons with helpful tooltips.

    • Improved Customer Selection Workflow
      Whether you’re starting a new order or selecting an existing customer, all related buttons are now clickable and include tooltips to guide you through the process.

    • Pending Order Search
      Quickly find pending orders with the new search functionality. This feature was introduced last month and is now fully integrated into the customer experience.

    • Bug Fixes & User Interface Improvements
      As always, this release includes various bug fixes and UI refinements to keep everything running smoothly.

    If you have any questions or feedback, our support team is here to help.
