Hi all! We’re excited to share that we have three new extensions for WooCommerce that were just released yesterday. Quick, grab them for 35% off within the next couple days!
First, Admin Custom Order Fields has deployed, which takes you one step closer towards using WordPress and WooCommerce as a CRM rather than just an eCommerce platform. Admin Custom Order Fields (ACOF) will allow you to create text field, drop-downs, checkboxes, and more within orders so that you can keep track of relevant customer information directly in WooCommerce. For example, let’s say you sell tours – now you can assign guides, dates, times, and other info to orders and view these fields from the order admin. You can also optionally display selected fields to customers from the “My Orders” page. Never again worry about using WooCommerce, Excel, and multiple other platforms to keep track of customer details! Keep that information where it belongs — directly with the relevant WooCommerce orders.
Next up, we have two more payment gateway integrations released. We know many of you have been waiting for Intuit QBMS (QuickBooks Merchant Services), and it’s finally come to WooCommerce. It’s being joined by a payment gateway integration for NETbilling as well. Not only do both of these integrations allow for maximum customizability and integration with your site by keeping the customer on site for the checkout process, but each fully supports WooCommerce Subscriptions and WooCommerce Pre-Orders to ensure viability for multiple businesses and billing needs. Want this to get even better? The WooCommerce NETbilling extension also supports eChecks so that you can get paid by virtually any means the customer wants; take away every excuse for the customer to say no!

We’re happy to announce a special for one of our WooCommerce products! WooThemes and First Data have partnered to offer a rebate on the First Data payment gateway integration, along with some other great benefits! Sign up (US merchants only) by December 31, 2013 to take advantage of this awesome deal that gives you over $650 of benefits FREE!
First Data is a large payment processor, and is the backend merchant provider for many companies. They’ve historically processed transactions for other companies, such as Authorize.net, and offered merchant accounts. However, they’re currently moving towards a more comprehensive offering and are therefore offering payment gateway services as well. First Data has also added a PCI-DSS compliance benefit in-house for their merchants, which makes security easier for you!
First, you’ll need to open a new merchant account with First Data. When you do, you’ll get some awesome bonuses for doing so. Not only will First Data give you a $79 credit to cover the cost of purchasing the WooCommerce First Data Payment Gateway integration for your store, but you’ll also get a credit from WooThemes for $200 worth of WooCommerce extensions! Those bonuses will be issued within two months of activating your account.
Want this deal to get even better? You’ll also get FREE First Data Global Gateway e4SM account (a $400 value). You’ll still be subject to monthly gateway fees, but are still saving money on setup and other fees :). What’s even better is that you benefit from using a really secure processing system that will also allow you to take advantage of WooCommerce Subscriptions and WooCommerce Pre-Orders.

Your choices for easy payment processing just increased by one. SkyVerge has just released the WooCommerce Amazon Simple Pay payment gateway extension! While this extension was in the WooCommerce Extension store until about 5 months ago, it was pulled by another developer, so we’ve redesigned it from the ground up to give you the quality and security that we ensure in all of our products.
Amazon Simple Pay will allow you to process payments on your WooCommerce store using credit cards AND your customers’ Amazon balance. You gain the trust that comes from associating with the #1 online retailer, and your customers get the ease of selecting their payment method and checking out with a familiar face (so to speak).
What are the benefits to using Simple Pay?
Aside from super easy payment processing, Amazon provides a straight-forward pricing structure for all of their payment gateways (maybe you’re familiar with this if you’ve seen or used our WooCommerce Amazon FPS Payment Gateway). You’ll only pay for the transactions that you process — no monthly fees or contracts. With transaction fees of 2.9% + $0.30, Amazon Simple Pay is very competitive with major payment processors.
Finally, with Amazon Simple Pay or Amazon FPS, you avoid all PCI security requirements, which means you don’t need an SSL certificate for your store. Customers are redirected to Amazon to make payments during your checkout process, so all security requirements are handled by the same secure servers that Amazon uses to process their payments.
In short, we designed Amazon Simple Pay to offer you even more easy, secure payment processing choices for your WooCommerce store!

We all know that Amazon is customers’ favorite online retailer. If you take payments using the WooCommerce Amazon FPS Payment Gateway or another Amazon payment service (stand by – we’ve got another one coming out next week!), you know that the trust you gain by associating with Amazon helps convert customers, and the simple pricing structure saves you headaches when it comes to your bottom line. Now we’ve made integrating Amazon payments into WooCommerce even better with the release of Amazon FPS 2.0!
What’s Different?
First, we rebuilt Amazon FPS from the ground up to improve performance and reliability. Our goal is fewer bugs and easier support with our complete redesign. Even though it may look the same, we’ve upgraded the engine under the hood! Second, the updated Amazon FPS Payment Gateway now offers full support for WooCommerce Subscriptions and WooCommerce Pre-Orders to offer you the flexibility you need for your business.
You can now take full advantage of the WooCommerce Subscriptions extension, which allows you to set up recurring billing for your customers so you get paid on time. The best part? You and your customers have one less thing to worry about (and who doesn’t love automated revenue?). WooCommerce Pre-Orders lets you take an order and charge the customer when that order ships, converting more sales for you since it reduces the hassle for the customer and encourages them to buy your product, regardless of release date. Business owners in need of a fully capable payment processor, meet the new Amazon FPS.
Keep an eye out next week for a new release we’re very excited about — we’ve built a new Amazon Simple Pay extension that we’re sure you’ll love!
