When we built WooCommerce Memberships, one of the biggest requests we had from our surveys and beta testers was to build a plugin that would allow customers to have as many memberships as they wanted to purchase. This became one of the major decisions we made in the initial version, and any customer can have 0 or more memberships. However, some shops want to limit the number of memberships a customer can have, most commonly…
Well so far we’ve been more like every other month in review, but December is probably a good month to slide on 🙂 We published our November Review a couple of months ago, and we have lots of exciting news to share in terms of what we’ve been up to since then. General Updates WooCommerce 2.5 Compatibility Memberships Improvements Order Status Manager 1.3.0 WooCommerce FreshBooks 3.6.0 WooCommerce Cost of Goods 2.0 Google Analytics Pro release…
This Ask SkyVerge question comes from Bojan: I have a WC catalog site dedicated to a closed user (buyers) group only, so no unknown people can register. All users are preregistered by admin and no free registration is available. Now I need to find the way to remove the buyers ability to edit their data, everything except maybe First/Second name. All the other fields (Company, Address etc.) should be read only. Is this possible? We…
There’s a great free plugin for connecting WooCommerce to Google Analytics that tens of thousands of WooCommerce shops have used to get insight into their sales funnels and customer behavior. While this is a great plugin that serves the needs of tons of WooCommerce stores, what if you need more detailed tracking for your WooCommerce site? You could use a premium service like Kissmetrics or Mixpanel, but if you’ve historically used Google Analytics, you may…
WooCommerce Order Status Manager 1.3 was released a few days ago! This update brings a few more interesting features that we think you are going to like. Mark Order Statuses as Paid You can now mark statuses as “Paid”. This denotes a status that an order should have after a payment has occurred. Default core statuses such as “Completed” and “Processing” will already have this flag, of course. You can set it for your  own…
We’ve got a quick update to start the week off for you 🙂 WooCommerce FreshBooks has been updated to version 3.6 to add an important feature for merchants syncing payments between WooCommerce and FreshBooks. Merchants can now map their WooCommerce payment gateways to FreshBooks payment methods, which will tell FreshBooks how to track payments made from your WooCommerce store. Mapping Payment Gateways to FreshBooks Methods For the most part, WooCommerce FreshBooks guessed pretty well at…
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…
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….
