Articles for merchants and customers covering how to posts, product updates, and general announcements.
When we published our May in Review I talked about how it felt like the month just ended. This time they went by so fast I didn’t even realize June had ended; I’m sure many of you know that feeling! Here are some updates from the past couple months from our blog and development team. Lots of new stuff in progress, so check out that section 🙂 General Updates Customer / Order CSV Export v4.0…
Our WooCommerce Customer / Order CSV Export plugin has undergone some massive changes recently, and version 4.0 is now available to download for active license holders! This release includes a lot of refactoring and internal improvements for the plugin. It follows on the heels of our Customer / Coupon / Order CSV Import Rewrite, leveraging what we’d learned about batch processing and parsing for export files to make exporting thousands of records a breeze. While…
When a customer has at least one membership assigned or purchased via WooCommerce Memberships, the customer will be able to see the “My Memberships” table via the account dashboard. This lets your members see membership information, and if you have the member area enabled, members can get lists of their available content, products, and discounts. However, some sites use both Memberships and WooCommerce Subscriptions and may want to remove this “My Memberships” table, as some…
Payment processing is the cornerstone of any eCommerce store. However, it can be one of the biggest pain points for an eCommerce merchant due to the security processes needed around handling sensitive customer data. Historically, merchants have had to choose between offloading security to the processor via an off-site payment method (like PayPal Standard), or building a seamless checkout that puts more security burden on the merchant (like Authorize.Net AIM or CIM). Over the past…
We’ve got a new Ask SkyVerge question today! This one comes from Thomas: Does Print invoices / packing lists have a date picker? For example, if I would like to print only invoices from May 23 to May 28, can I do this? This is an excellent question, and the answer is not right away, but it can with a bit of help. Print Invoices / Packing Lists allows you to print invoices, packing lists,…
I swear, each month I feel like I just wrote a month recap, and then I’m immediately writing another! Our April in Review covered some payment gateway rewrites, while May was a pretty intensive month devoted to WooCommerce 2.6 compatibility. For each major WooCommerce release, every plugin gets audited and updated (which is over 60 plugins in total, both free and paid). Support for new WooCommerce features, hooks, and methods are added, while support for…
We’re happy to announce the release of our WooCommerce Authorize.net SIM extension! This plugin provides a new, PCI-compliant payment method via Authorize.net. Customers are taken off-site to a hosted payment page to complete a transaction (similar to PayPal Standard). The plugin also supports eChecks, letting you securely process ACH transactions. The old “SIM”, a bundled AIM gateway Previously, a very old SIM / Authorize.net emulation protocol was bundled into our WooCommerce Authorize.net AIM extension. This…
Version 3.0 of our WooCommerce Customer / Coupon / Order CSV Import suite was released last week. While this adds necessary upgrades like WooCommerce 2.6 compatibility, it also provides a complete rewrite and tons of new features! Let’s take a look at the changes. Background Import Process One of the problems we saw frequently with order imports was timeouts on shared hosts. For some stores, this limited the number of orders you could import at…
Another month, another review! Unlike our March in Review, April has a pretty specific focus: payment gateways. We pushed out a lot of gateway updates in April, and our entire WooCommerce development team attended WooConf. We’ve also got a lot of exciting stuff in progress already for May, check it out 🙂 General Updates WooConf Paytrail v2.0.0 First Data v4.0.0 Payment Gateway Features In progress General Updates As our team was traveling for and attending…
We’ve just released the newest version of WooCommerce Paytrail payment gateway! The newest version is a significant rewrite and is chock full of under-the-hood improvements. Improved Performance and Set Up Many of our most trusted payment gateways utilize a common, battle-tested codebase and you can now add WooCommerce Paytrail to that list. We’ve rewritten the gateway from the ground up to leverage all of the reliability and performance improvements our codebase has to offer. This…
