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…
Before you read the rest of this article and get excited about the cool things the WooCommerce iOS app has learned how to do, please do one thing for me: Update your API keys for Read / Write capability, not just “Read”. You’ll need this. 😉 In which we make excuses We know many of you have been waiting for this release for a while, and we wanted to say that we’re sorry for the…
Here’s a tiny snippet based a question from Julie: How can I add a notice right below the WooCommerce featured image on the product page? It should say “click to enlarge” right below the image. There’s an action that you can use to add content below featured images, which can be used before or after product thumbnails. The woocommerce_product_thumbnail action is what will help us out. Let’s add a notice that says, “Click to Enlarge”…
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…
If you’re using the official WooCommerce iPhone app, you may have noticed that custom order statuses have their own icon when displayed in your order details: These handy little icons (designed by Jay Koster) can be added to your WooCommerce “Orders” page as well so they’re consistent throughout your shop and the app. Here’s a quick guide on how to add WooCommerce custom order status icons. You don’t have to be using the iPhone app…
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.

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.
