Rename teams to better match your memberships

When we released Teams for Memberships, we knew that there was a need to sell membership access to large organizations. Since then, we’ve heard from many merchants who sell team memberships to all sorts of groups where the term “team” doesn’t quite apply, such as schools, families, clubs, and companies—just to name a few! To make sure that your group memberships match your site’s brand and your membership target audience, we’ve introduced a setting that…

Promote memberships by applying discounts when purchasing the plan’s product

We know how important a quick and easy checkout is for driving conversions, so we’re excited to share a small but powerful update to Memberships: you can now apply membership discounts to eligible products when the cart contains a membership-granting product.

Create a member home page with Memberships blocks

Here’s an Ask SkyVerge question we’ve heard from lots of Memberships users: When a member logs in, how can I redirect them to a custom member home page instead of the WooCommerce account page? This has been a popular request for some time, but wasn’t feasible for us to address since members can belong to multiple plans. How would Memberships know which page to send a user to when they belonged to multiple plans? It’d…

Modifying review qualifiers with WooCommerce Product Reviews Pro

WooCommerce Product Reviews Pro is handy for gathering more feedback from customers as they review your products, which can help future purchasers learn more about items.

Adding Columns to the WooCommerce My Orders List

Time to start with our first Ask SkyVerge question of 2018 🙂 This question is from Houdayer: Is there a way to add shipping information in the table at MyAccount > Orders? Sure thing!

WooCommerce Memberships: Add “View Subscription” Action to My Memberships

Here’s a quick question we’d gotten in a support thread: How can I add a link to “Cancel” a membership with it’s subscription to the “My Memberships” table? Unfortunately, adding a link to cancel both a membership + it’s associated subscription isn’t really straight-forward — this is why the “cancel” action is removed in the first place when a memberships is tied to a subscription. This way, cancelling the billing record is the only way…

Automatically Link WooCommerce Orders at Customer Registration

We got an question from Rob in our comments section on our post about adding registration prompts to WooCommerce emails that makes for an interesting tutorial. To summary Rob’s question: How would you reconcile a previous order when a guest user registers? In other words: say I buy from your store and use my email (test@test.com) at checkout. I then get this lovely email with a registration prompt, so I go and register. The problem…

Disable Repeat WooCommerce Purchases for a Product Category

We previously wrote up a tutorial on preventing repeat purchases for a particular WooCommerce product, or for any product in your store. However, based on the comments there, some merchants wanted to disable repeat WooCommerce purchases for a set of products, but not all products. In order to do so, you could use a product category to check whether repeat purchases should be allowed or not. This would let you group all products that shouldn’t…
