It has been a couple of months since our last feature update. During this time, our team traveled to Cincinnati for Wi 2024 where we conducted an in-person workshop and met many IndieCommerce users in person. We migrated several IndieLite and IndieCommerce stores and developed some key features for IC 2.0.

We are glad to roll out some critical updates and bug fixes before the IC team heads out to Cincinnati for Wi2024.
Tier 1 and Tier 2
We started the new year by adding some major features that our members were looking forward to. Give it a try, and contact us if you have any questions. (We are preparing the help docs for the new features)
Tier 1 and Tier 2
Password Policy : A password policy is in place for all admins, including Blog Authors. The strong password requirement is not enforced for your website customers. The policy includes the following:
Creating and Editing Content : CK Editor is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor that makes it easy for content creators to create and manage content on a website. The CK Editor on IndieCommerce 2.0 has been upgraded from version 4 to version 5, making the experience much smoother for content creators. With the new editor it is much easier to manage links, alt text, adjust images (size and alignment) and create tables.
Kobo eBooks : IndieCommerce 2.0 is fully integrated with Kobo and bookstores can offer ebooks from Kobo’s catalog.
If you already have a Kobo Affiliate ID, you can start offering ebooks to your customers by enabling the feature.
The Browse feature now offers several new improvements to help your customers explore what you offer and keep them engaged with the website.

Last month (March 2023), our plan was to begin migrating a group of 10 IndieLite stores over to the new IndieCommerce 2.0 (IC 2.0) platform. Based on how quickly those stores moved, we could then determine a rough timeline that we would share with stores who are waiting to be migrated from existing Indiecommerce and IndieLite websites, over to IC 2.0. We had to change that timeline as other work needed to be prioritized in March.
