It feels so incredible to finally launch a project that our team has been building for almost a year: WooCommerce Memberships is here! First, a Brief History We build a lot of plugins at SkyVerge, and we use even more. While we don’t have the capacity to do much client work now, we’ve had several long-standing relationships and retainers with clients, and we’ve done a lot of custom work over the past couple of years….
First, thanks so much to all of you who participated in our birthday celebration this week! We really appreciate you being a part of our journey over the past two years and participating in our birthday sweepstakes. Our grand prize winner has been contacted — congrats Amber! She’s getting $200 worth of WooCommerce extensions from WooCommerce.com. Our second place winners have also been notified via email, and we’ll be shipping out some swag to them…
2 years ago, Justin and I founded SkyVerge with the modest goal of taking over the world working for ourselves and building some plugins. Now, with over 65 WooCommerce extensions, 3 Shopify apps, a cross-platform abandoned cart app in the works, and an incredibly talented team of developers, designers, and writers, we couldn’t be more excited with what the future holds. While we spend some time reminiscing and celebrating (not too much though, lots of…
We released updates to all extensions yesterday to ensure WooCommerce 2.3 compatibility, so you may have missed some of the features that were included in these releases. One of the major changes we made was to add automatic refund support to WooCommerce Authorize.net AIM. This means that you can now process refunds from directly within WooCommerce instead of logging into your Authorize.net account 🙂 . You don’t have to update any of your settings or…
We’ve released a new extension for WooCommerce that many of you have been asking about. The WooCommerce Order Status Manager will allow you to create custom WooCommerce order statuses and completely integrate them into your orders flow. Rather than simply adding a one-off status with custom code, you can integrate these statuses with core statuses for a seamless order management experience. Add a custom status, icon, and action button easily. Then, create a “Next Statuses”…
We’ve been hard at work on some new plugins, but we’ve also been working on some improvements for our plugins behind the scenes. WooCommerce 2.3 is coming up, so we’re testing and updating plugins for that release, but we’ve also been working on some rewrites and refund support for gateways. The first of these gateways to offer refund support directly from WooCommerce is WooCommerce First Data. Refunding a card payment processed with First Data is…
Happy New Year! As we move into 2015, we’ve been taking a look back on the past year at SkyVerge and focusing on what we’ve done well and what we could have improved to set our next year’s goals. 2014 was a pretty big year for us, as we’ve focused on building our team for the future, and have made several changes to our internal setup to support our growth for the future. While these…
Hey folks! In case you haven’t been keeping up with WooCommerce updates, we wanted to share a pretty awesome thing they did with you yesterday. WooCommerce has released Storefront, which is an entirely free WooCommerce theme. And it’s fantastic. Lots of customers end up asking WooCommerce, “Which theme for WooCommerce should I use?” It’s a question we get at SkyVerge, and it’s one I get at Sell with WP frequently as well (which I also…
Most of team SkyVerge spent the past week at the first WooCommerce Conference in San Francisco. It was a spectacular week of team fun and learning, and we capped it off with Max and Justin’s first conference presentation. It was great to meet up with some friends we’ve met only online and to see some familiar faces. We met some WooCommerce store owners as well, such as Bradley at Copper Pan Jams (the kiwi jam…
Hello Authorize.net users! We just have a quick announcement to share with you today :). If you use our WooCommerce Authorize.net AIM or WooCommerce Authorize.net CIM payment gateway extensions, you may have received a notice recently from Authorize.net. It probably looked something like this: On September 30, 2014, we will be retiring IP address 64.94.118.33, which we noticed you are connecting to directly either for monitoring purposes or for your transaction processing. To prevent any…
