Trying to grow an online business can be quite taxing – especially if it is run by a single person or a small team. Managing and curating all information relevant to each of your clients and their needs through niche applications, spreadsheets and various databases will become chaotic very quickly. This is where a CRM, or customer relationship management, software comes in handy.
We have some exciting news to share with our Ignition Framework users who prefer to build their sites with the popular Elementor page builder. We have just released an update to our Ignition Widgets for Elementor plugin which includes three new custom widgets. Along with it we have released the first six theme sample content bundles built entirely with Elementor. Read on for more info on both these updates.
Free shipping is a great bonus for any online shopper and greatly helps the customer commit with their purchase. WooCommerce offers free shipping as its available shipping options, but it will continue to display all available shipping methods available to the client regardless if they qualify for free shipping. Since it is highly unlikely that a customer will opt to pay for shipping when they can have it for free, we’ll go ahead and check out a way to hide other shipping methods when a customer qualifies for free shipping.
We have just finished a small sprint releasing Elementor related compatibility updates for some of our older themes and plugins. In total we have released updates for 42 themes and 3 plugins. Read on for more info regarding the update and the items affected.
Up-sell products are displayed in the single product view to attract the customer’s attention towards products that might pair well with the one they are currently looking at. However many clients tend to gloss over that section. In an effort to increase the exposure of our customers to up-sell products we will be displaying them on the order thank you page as well.
In today’s article we’re going to make some minor customizations to the checkout page in order to make it more friendly to both our customers and ourselves by eliminating extraneous information from the checkout process.
Sometimes customers might leave some orders unpaid, perhaps from their card being declined, payment processing errors and many other reasons. You have the ability as a WooCommerce based store owner to prevent them from placing additional orders until they settle their outstanding ones. This can prevent your order queue from being cluttered and minimize illegitimate orders.
The price display on WooCommerce variable products is by default a range of prices, from the price of the lowest variation to the highest one. In some cases it might be beneficial to the store to not display the higher end of the range because that might deter some customers from visiting the product page. To negate such a possibility we’re going to change the way the price is displayed on variable products.
In today’s article we will add a small banner on the single product page which will urge our customers to complete their orders as quickly as possible to take advantage of same day shipping.
If your WooCommerce powered online store sells products that are often bought individually you might consider adding a buy now button which will add the single product to the cart and redirects the customer to the checkout page without them ever having to see the cart page, making their shopping experience more streamlined. In this small guide we’re going to take a look at how we can build such a button.
