Congratulations to our friends at WooCommerce this week! In case you didn’t know, WooCommerce is just about 4 years old, with the first release on September 27, 2011. Since they wrote about WooCommerce turning 1 on September 24, we decided we could post this a bit early as well 🙂 First, we couldn’t be happier to be a part of the WooCommerce ecosystem, and it’s hard to believe four years have gone by. Our founders…

Just over a year ago, we shipped a product we’d partnered with WooCommerce to build that we thought would be a great addition to the WooCommerce platform: the WooCommerce iOS app. Our goal was to build something that would let store owners keep a pulse on how their store was doing, and that this would evolve into a tool that would let WooCommerce shop owners manage some of their store on-the-go as development progressed. We…
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…
Chances are that you’ve heard of Pagely, as they were the first company to offer managed WordPress hosting. They’re one of two hosts we recommend, and we migrated all of our own sites to Pagely early this year. One feature that many eCommerce sites need as part of their managed hosting services are staging sites, as these help you test updates and debug issues so you don’t have to deactivate plugins or try out new…

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…
