We’ve got several exciting updates coming to WooCommerce First Data to share with you, which should be available via your WooCommerce dashboard by tomorrow 🙂 Version 4.0.0 refactors large parts of the plugin to make use of some common code we have for payment gateways, improving the performance and reliability of First Data, along with the addition of a new gateway mode. This also gives First Data some useful new features, such as capturing payments…
After spending last week in beautiful Austin, Texas for WooConf, our team is catching up and we’re taking some time to reflect on the past week. The first WooConf was hard to top, but the second WooConf definitely stepped up to the plate! Thanks so much to Maria, Joel, and all conference organizers for putting on a great event, and thanks to Dre Armeda for being a top-notch MC. As our resident photography enthusiast, thanks…
It feels like I just wrote our February in Review, and here we are with another post! Our team was elbow deep into some large projects this month, along with preparations for WooConf (hope we’ll see you there today!), so it’s been a crazy 31 days. Here’s a look at what we were up to in March, along with what we’re doing now. General Updates WooConf AvaTax v1.1.0! Beanstream v1.9.0 Cost of Goods v2.1.0 New…
Today’s question comes from Scott: Can I use or create a shortcode to have the “My Memberships” area outside of the “My Account” page? In other words, if I wanted to place My Memberships on a page other than the default /my-account page, would I be able to do that? This is an interesting question, as you could add the “My Memberships” table to a custom page on your site, protect that page for members,…
Whew, February flew by our our team! Looks like we’re actually managing to make this one month in review instead of 2 🙂 Our January in review went over a lot of development we’d just shipped, so February saw more development beginning than wrapping up. We also had our first company retreat this month, which was fabulous and brought team members from 5 countries together. Here’s what we worked on this month: General Updates SkyTrip…
Well so far we’ve been more like every other month in review, but December is probably a good month to slide on 🙂 We published our November Review a couple of months ago, and we have lots of exciting news to share in terms of what we’ve been up to since then. General Updates WooCommerce 2.5 Compatibility Memberships Improvements Order Status Manager 1.3.0 WooCommerce FreshBooks 3.6.0 WooCommerce Cost of Goods 2.0 Google Analytics Pro release…
This Ask SkyVerge question comes from Bojan: I have a WC catalog site dedicated to a closed user (buyers) group only, so no unknown people can register. All users are preregistered by admin and no free registration is available. Now I need to find the way to remove the buyers ability to edit their data, everything except maybe First/Second name. All the other fields (Company, Address etc.) should be read only. Is this possible? We…
There’s a great free plugin for connecting WooCommerce to Google Analytics that tens of thousands of WooCommerce shops have used to get insight into their sales funnels and customer behavior. While this is a great plugin that serves the needs of tons of WooCommerce stores, what if you need more detailed tracking for your WooCommerce site? You could use a premium service like Kissmetrics or Mixpanel, but if you’ve historically used Google Analytics, you may…
We’re very happy to welcome a couple new team members today: hello to Fulvio Nostarstefano and Dani Madrid! We do a short trial period before offering full time positions at SkyVerge to make sure we’re a good fit for one another, and frequently have team members in our bootcamp period (indeed, we’ve got more great team members doing this as we speak!), and Fulvio and Dani have come out of bootcamp on the other side…
WooCommerce Order Status Manager 1.3 was released a few days ago! This update brings a few more interesting features that we think you are going to like. Mark Order Statuses as Paid You can now mark statuses as “Paid”. This denotes a status that an order should have after a payment has occurred. Default core statuses such as “Completed” and “Processing” will already have this flag, of course. You can set it for your  own…
