Since we develop a lot of plugins (mostly for WooCommerce) and do some custom development, we get a lot of questions on best practices or recommendations for adding functionality to a site. Many times we’ll provide suggestions or guidance and tell people they should create a custom plugin, which prompts the question, “Couldn’t I just modify my theme template or buy a theme with this built-in this instead? I don’t want to have too many plugins.” I…
Hi everyone! We’ve been a bit quiet lately since we’ve been busy updating all of our plugins to be compatible with WooCommerce 2.1. However, we wanted to share some of the big changes we’ve made with you to some of the WooCommerce extensions we offer, so we’ll take a look at the WooCommerce Customer / Order CSV Export Suite first. Re-written to Maximize Performance We’ve rebuilt the extension from the ground up to vastly improve stability and per…
WooCommerce 2.1 was released on Monday, and makes several changes to the core plugin. As a result, you may experience issues when upgrading if you don’t pay attention to a few of the changes. The guide that follows is a general overview of some things to look out for when upgrading to WooCommerce 2.1 to make the transition from WooCommerce 2.0 as smooth as possible. There are a couple of known issues that are being updated already, so keep an eye…
Hey everyone! We’ve got a couple of updates and and a new release we’d love to tell you about. Updates First, we know a lot of non-coders out there like our free WooCommerce Customizer, which helps change some of the standard WooCommerce layout, buttons, and text. We had some issues updating for WooCommerce 2.1 that requires some refactoring and tweaks, so we apologize for the delay in getting this out (of course this happens in the one we save f…

Version 3.0 is being released today, so you can download the update or purchase from WooCommerce! What’s in Authorize.n…
Hello everyone! You’ve probably noticed already since you’re reading this with far more legible typography, but SkyVerge.com recently got a facelift! We’ve customized a new theme and made some structural changes that should make navigating our blog and products far easier. First, we’ve re-categorized products so that you can easily find relevant plugins (same goes for re-tagging all products for easier navigation). We’ve done the same with blog p…
We’ve got an announcement that may only be exciting for us, but we still want to share 🙂 . We’ve now condensed most of our team into one location in Boston, MA! We were previously all working remotely (from different states no less), which is great, but felt inefficient for us. We now have the core part of our team all in the same office space, which has been really exciting so far. In front of the WeWork mural Our new space is at WeWork – South …
New product alert! We’ve released another free WooCommerce extension out into the wild – the WooCommerce Product SKU generator provides automatic SKU management for WooCommerce. We had a request from a customer to ask if there was a way to automatically generate SKUs for products rather than manually set them for each item in your shop catalog. Some 3rd part fulfillment services (such as Shipwire) require your products to have SKUs, and it can be…

However, as we’re growing, part time positions may evolve into full time positions if you’re looking for a permanent gig with benefits. We k…
