Hey all! We love it when plugins help users do some cool stuff without code, and our WooCommerce Customizer is a popular example. WooCommerce contains tons of filters and actions to let you customize pieces of your shop, but most shop owners don’t know how to user them. Our WooCommerce Customizer opens up options for some of these filters so you can easily change things like the number of products per shop page or the…
We have good news for WooCommerce Chase Paymentech merchants! Our WooCommerce Chase Paymentech Orbital gateway has been updated to version 1.1 to add a “certification mode” for faster setup and certification via Chase. Orbital Certification When the extension was released, it was pre-certified by Chase with the understanding that merchants would not have to complete this process. However, Chase’s policies on certification changed shortly after the plugin was launched. All merchants are now required to…
Hey Everyone! We’ve released a minor update for the WooCommerce iPhone app that adds support for custom order statuses. If you’ve added your own order status to your store (maybe you even used Justin’s tutorial to do this), the app previously didn’t know how to handle this information. We’ve now added the ability to read custom order statuses, such as “Shipped” or “Awaiting Fulfillment” (provided that they’ve been created correctly), and each of these new…

It’s been a while since we’ve done an Ask SkyVerge question! This question comes from Sati: What is the best SSL certificate for WooCommerce? Is there a particular SSL certificate that I should use for my store? Most of the payment gateways available for WooCommerce will keep customers on your site during the checkout process, and therefore require and SSL certificate to secure your customers’ payment information. However, we recommend that all stores use an…
New extension alert! WooCommerce Order Status Control is now available at WooCommerce! You know all of those annoying little tasks that you have to do every day, and they constantly eat up little bits of time? Stuff that you do anyway, because it’s just a little bit of time, but it still adds up each day…stuff like tying your shoes. You could save this time with an improved system, such as slip on shoes, or…
We know many of our customers have been looking forward to the Chase Paymentech integration for WooCommerce being re-released. We’re happy to announce that the WooCommerce Chase Paymentech extension is now available for purchase again! Unfortunately, Chase Paymentech no longer allows integrations to be pre-certified, which means that merchants will have to submit an application with Chase for individual certification to use the integration. However, this process is fairly straight-forward for merchants to complete. The…
We’ve written two WooCommerce Order Export plugins and both have some pretty similar features. For both the WooCommerce Order / Customer CSV exporter and the WooCommerce Customer / Order XML Export suite, users can export customer and order data directly from WooCommerce that’s ready to send of to drop-shippers, accounting software, and other sources. One of the best features about each of these plugins is ability to automatically export orders on a schedule via FTP…
