Articles for merchants and customers covering how to posts, product updates, and general announcements.
While we send out a weekly newsletter (which you should sign up for if you haven’t!), we thought that a monthly recap of changes, updates, and new releases would be a great addition for our blog. We’d like to cover some of what we were up to throughout August and what’s changed with our plugins to share them with you, along with a preview of next month. General updates Subscriptions 2.0 support Memberships v1.3 Product…
We want to give a SkyVerge welcome to Chase Wiseman, who has joined our team as a full-time WordPress Engineer! Chase helps us expand our fully remote team to 3 countries and 5 U.S. states. Chase is from Portland, Oregon (by way of Michigan), and has most recently been the lead developer for Simmer, a recipe publishing tool for WordPress. He’s been on board for a couple of weeks, and has hit the ground running,…
WooCommerce Authorize.CIM 2.0 is here (finally)! We’re super excited to announce that we’ve released a large update to our WooCommerce Authorize.net CIM payment gateway 🙂 While development took far longer than we would’ve liked (initial estimate was 50 hours, the final tally was over 200 hours), we’re really pleased with the final product and we can’t wait for you to update and try it out! This update has undergone many hours of testing and is…
This Ask SkyVerge question comes from Frank: Is it possible to remove the product thumbnails and the links to the product page on the cart page? By default, the WooCommerce cart page includes product images and links to product pages in your shop for each item in the cart. However, the cart template is pretty flexible, and there a couple of handy filters in it that can let us change these cart elements. First, we…
Version 1.1 of WooCommerce Memberships was released this week, which adds a few new features to make content public, display content to non-members, and improves the User Switching plugin integration. We also added a public feature voting list to our documentation, which shows the features we have on our roadmap, and allows users to vote for their favorites so we can better prioritize them. Make Content Public WooCommerce Memberships makes it super easy to restrict…
I listened to a talk recently about using WordPress to communicate with external APIs, which is something we do frequently at SkyVerge. We’ve built over 20 payment gateway integrations for WooCommerce, each of which needs to communicate with the payment processor’s API. One thing that I noticed in the talk is that setting sslverify = false when using wp_remote_get or wp_remote_post was recommended. This is a fairly common practice and has thus become recommended for…
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….
Today’s Ask SkyVerge question is from Harshad: The “My Account” page used to display the login and register forms side by side, but now that I switched to Storefront and updated WooCommerce they are below each other, taking up a lot of space on the page. Can the Storefront My Account page be changed? If you use WooCommerce in a default theme, like TwentyTwelve, you’ll see that the “My Account” page layout is in two…

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…
