  1. Authorize.net Changes that Will Affect WooCommerce Sites

    Recently Authorize.net has made changes to their product line offerings to consolidate several offerings. This means that if you are using Authorize.net on your WooCommerce website, the plugin that you are using will be obsolete soon. WooCommerce has responded by releasing a new Authorize.net plugin which will replace the several other plugins that there used to be (AIM, CIM, DPM, and SIM). If you host with us, we will be switching you over to the new plugin so you should not experience any problems with your WooCommerce store.

    You can read more about the new plugin here.

  2. WooCommerce Now Has New Mobile App

    Look at your phone’s home screen.

    Chances are, you will see apps for banking, for tracking the weather, shopping apps, ones that keep you on schedule, work related apps, and most likely, at least one type of social media app. If you are a business owner using WooCommerce, then it is important that you know about a newcomer to the Android world of apps – the WooCommerce app. (It should be noted that this is not WooCommerce’s first venture into apps, as they already had one designed for IOS – which was improved with this new app.)

  3. WooCommerce Sales Tax with Taxjar: What it Means for You

    In a recent blog post, we shared that the Supreme Court changed a 20-year-old ruling regarding taxes. Now, taxes can be collected on ecommerce sites. However, it can be a bit of a challenge to determine the proper calculations – especially when it comes to implementation on a website.

    If you are a US online business with a retail aspect, then there are a few questions you will need to ask before getting your website set up for charging sales tax. These questions are –

    • What states are the primary ones with which you do business – in particular, those with more than 100K in sales or 200 transactions in a state, states with brick mortar locations, and those with inventory/warehouse(s)?
    • From and to which address(es) do you ship your products?
    • Are any of the items you sell tax exempt?
    • Are any of your customer entities or resellers who are tax exempt?
    • How do you collect payments?
