Plugins are optional add-ons that you can enable in inFlow to access additional features. Each plugin is developed by inFlow, and you have the flexibility to choose which ones your company will use. This article explains what plugins are, how to install them, and provides details on the functionality of the first three plugins.

Please note: plugins are in beta and are being released gradually, so you may not see the Plugins page yet. Plugins are free during beta. If you’d like early access, get in touch with the inFlow team.

What plugins are and who they’re for

A plugin adds a small, focused feature to inFlow — a new card on a page, a new option in a menu, or a new rule that runs when you save an order. Nothing changes until you install a plugin, and everything the plugin added disappears when you uninstall it.

Plugins are a good fit if you need something specific that most inFlow companies don’t:

• Special per-quantity pricing for wholesale customers.
• A credit limit that holds a customer’s order until someone approves it.
• A faster way to reprice a batch of products.

Plugins are available in inFlow for Web. They don’t appear in the inFlow Windows app or the mobile app.

Plugins are different from integrations. Integrations connect inFlow to another service like Shopify or QuickBooks Online. Plugins add features inside inFlow itself.

How to install a plugin

Only administrators can install or uninstall plugins. If you’re not an admin, you won’t see the Plugins page at all — ask an admin on your team to turn a plugin on for you.

1. Click on the Settings icon , then Plugins.
2. Look through the plugin cards. Each card shows a short description and the category the plugin belongs to.
3. Select a plugin card to open its details, where you’ll find a short video and a description of what it does.
4. Select Install Plugin, then confirm by selecting Install plugin. The plugin moves up to the Installed plugins section at the top of the page, with a checkmark on its card.
5. Refresh or move to another screen so the plugin’s new buttons and cards appear.

Each plugin’s detail view also shows a Pricing tag (currently Free during Beta), a Category, its version and when it was last updated, and — once you’ve installed it — a Status tag.

How to uninstall a plugin

If your team no longer requires a plugin, you can uninstall it. Follow the steps below.

1. To uninstall a plugin, click on the Settings icon , then select Plugins.
2. Locate the plugin’s card under Installed plugins, then click on Uninstall.

After completing this process, the plugin’s buttons, cards, and rules will no longer be visible throughout the inFlow app. However, historical data created using the plugins will remain in inFlow.

Uninstalling the Volume Pricing plugin doesn’t change prices on orders you’ve already saved. It only stops new volume prices from being applied.

The plugins available today

Three plugins are available in this beta. Each one has its own guide with the full setup steps.

Volume Pricing

Set a lower per-unit price once a customer orders a certain quantity. inFlow automatically applies the correct price as the quantity on a sales order changes, per product and per pricing scheme.

See how to set up volume pricing in inFlow.

Customer Credit Limits

Set a maximum outstanding balance for each customer. When a new order would push them past it, inFlow saves the order as Unconfirmed and shows a warning, so no one picks or ships it until someone approves it.

See how to set customer credit limits in inFlow.

Price Changing Tool

Update the prices for a batch of products from a single screen, instead of opening each product one at a time.

Good to know while Plugins are in beta

1. Plugins are free during beta. Which plugins are available may change over time, and some may need a paid subscription later on.
2. Select the BETA tag on the Plugins page to see what beta means for plugins, including a link to the beta product terms.
3. Volume prices and credit limits are set one product or one customer at a time right now. There’s no import or bulk editor for them yet.
4. Plugin features show up in inFlow for Web only.

We’d love to hear which plugins you’d like to see next — just let your Customer Success Manager or inFlow Support team know.
