But first: product updates. This month, we shipped a suite of upgrades to order approvals, giving you more control over which orders need an extra set of eyes and who can review them. We also added more than 130 brands to our catalog across 10 countries.

- Maximum Amount Approval: Set up approval triggers for orders above a certain dollar amount to keep spending in check.
- Team Spending Limit Approvals: Keep budgets under control by setting spend limits for specific periods of time, from daily to annual.
- Approvals by Integration: You can now customize approval settings for each of your integrations, like Qualtrics, SurveyMonkey, Typeform, etc.
- Non-Admin Approver Roles: Expand your team's capabilities by designating non-admin members to approve orders with adjustable notification settings.
- Clear Reasoning for Approvals: The pending orders table will now display the reasons for required approvals, making it clear why some orders need an extra set of eyes.
