From the beginning, we’ve been bootstrapped & profitable, which helps us to build a culture that aligns and reinforces our core values. As we near 2 dozen team members, we couldn’t be more proud of our wonderful team of engineers, support specialists,…

I’m excited to share the all new WooCommerce Bambora with you today! 🎉 The WooCommerce Bambora plugin was originally our Beanstream integration. When Beanstream was folded into Bambora last year after being acquired, all merchant accounts were carried over seamlessly. However, merchants using our integration could not take advantage of all of the new technologies offered by Bambora. We’ve completely rebuilt the plugin to support Bambora’s newer API, along with loads of useful new features….
SkyVerge is a remote company. That means we spend our days chatting with one another in Slack, waving from our respective tiny digital boxes on Zoom, and sending accolades or shout outs via Basecamp. We love working remotely, and are no strangers to the tools that allow us to bond in digital-land. But, we’re also all very aware of the fact that there is simply no replacement for in-person bonding. To that end, we recently…

WooCommerce Memberships has the ability to provide discounts for members. This is a popular way to provide perks or wholesale pricing for certain groups of customers. However, Memberships does not have complex sets of rules for for pricing, such as the ability to set discounts at tiers for membership products. You can use Dynamic Pricing for this sort of set up, as it lets you add pricing rules based on role, quantity tiers, and more….
WooCommerce Memberships has been one of our flagship products at SkyVerge for a couple years, and today we’re very excited for the next evolution of the Memberships ecosystem. When we originally built Memberships, our main goals were to provide a robust integration with Subscriptions for content protection, while also ensuring that sites could offer store perks to certain groups of customers (such as discounts or exclusive products). Over time, we’ve seen Memberships grow from a…
