Shopify Maps
Shopify Connect automatically connects Big Business to your Shopify store. Using the Shopify tool on the System toolbar you can view and edit Shopify Maps to make needed changes.
For example, the Automatic setting for Import Orders brings in Item and Qty but not Price. If you have a special price on Shopify, click to include it and Save As... MyShopifyOrders. Then in Shopify Settings select your import.

Block OS
Big Business 12 automatically blocks any operating system, OS, that is a problem. This protects you from unplanned system changes that could cause data loss. You can turn this feature Off if needed.

1. Go to the Company card to the Advanced tab.
2. Click the checkbox for Disable Block OS.
3. Click OK to save changes.
Block OS was added in Big Business 12.24 to prevent Big Business from running on macOS Big Sur where it is NOT compatible. When Big Business 12 runs on macOS Big Sur it crashes which can cause data loss. This feature stops it from running as pictured.
MySQL 5.5
Big Business 12.23 added MySQL changes that were not backwards compatible to MySQL 5.5 installed on many Windows servers. Big Business 12.24 fixes this so you can install this update and it automatically works with MySQL 5.5.
