NEW in Carrier Board Pro: Status Alerts
Most customer frustration doesn’t come from long lines or busy counters — it comes from not knowing what’s going on before they arrive.
The new Status Alert module gives you a clean, highly visible way to communicate
important, time-sensitive updates directly on your website — without relying on social media, emails, or last-minute phone calls.
Think of it as a front-door notice for your website.
What Status Alerts Are Designed For
- Opening late or closing early
- Weather-related delays or closures
- Unexpected staffing or system issues
- Temporary service interruptions
- “Heads up” messages customers actually need to see
Why This Matters
When customers can see important updates immediately:
- Phone calls drop
- Counter interruptions decrease
- Staff stops repeating the same explanations
- Customers trust your website as the source of truth
This isn’t a pop-up.
It isn’t an ad.
And it doesn’t compete with your normal Carrier Board displays.
It quietly does its job — and then gets out of the way.
Fully Controlled From the Admin Side
Status Alerts are managed entirely from your WordPress admin area. You can:
- Create, edit, and schedule alerts in advance
- Set start and end times — no manual cleanup required
- Customize colors and visibility to match your site
- Cancel alerts instantly when situations change
Once the alert expires, it disappears automatically.
No stale notices. No forgotten banners.
Built for Real Store Operations
Carrier Board Pro was built by an independent pack & ship store owner — and this feature
came directly from real operational needs.
Status Alerts don’t replace your Carrier Board.
They complement it.
Together, they turn your website into something staff can confidently point customers to and say:
“Just check our website — it’s always up to date.”
