Get 10% off a WP Rocket licence!

/in ,

As many of you know, caching is a sensitive topic when running a multi-currency, multi-price, or in any way highly dynamic e-commerce. That’s why we worked with the WP Rocket Team to add support for all the Aelia plugins in WP Rocket, while maintaining the top performance that their product provides.

As of version 2.8, WP Rocket supports all our plugins, out of the box, and it’s our recommended commercial caching plugin.

The best news is that now you can get 20% off the price of a WP Rocket licence by using coupon code <coupon expired>. Simply go to https://wp-rocket.me, add the licence to your basket, and enter the coupon code at checkout. You will get the best caching plugin on the market, at an even greater price!

Update – June 2017

The original coupon  is now expired. You can now use coupon code aeliacs-10 to get 10% off your WP Rocket licence. 🙂

/in

One of our clients informed us that the popular Advanced WooCommerce Reporting plugin now supports multi-currency setups. Its authors introduced this feature in version 3.0 of their product, which was released at the beginning of October 2016.

This is a fantastic news, as it means that it will be possible to produce advanced reports, with a few clicks, and have a complete overview of how your shop is performing. Make sure that you have a look at the latest version of Advanced WooCommerce Reporting, you can find it on CodeCanyon.

It’s great to see more developers join our efforts to make WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads fully support multi-currency scenarios. We would like to thank Proword (the plugin’s authors), for recognising the importance and relevance of multi-currency shops, and for the work they’ve done in supporting merchants who run these shops. Thanks to them, tracking the performance of worldwide sales has become easier than ever!

WooCommerce First Data/Authipay Gateway – PHP 7 and minor fixes

/in , ,

First Data/AIB Authipay Gateway for WooCommerce – What’s new

Our First Data/Authipay Gateway has been updated to version 1.2.17.161006. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Improved compatibility with PHP 7. The numeric currency codes in WC_Gateway_FirstData_Connect::$supported_currencies are now text. This will prevent PHP from interpreting them as octal number and raising an “Invalid Literal” error.
  • Fixed bugs that could cause debug messages to interfere with the payment process.

How do I get the new version?

New customers

Simply place your order and you will get the latest version.

Existing customers

You should be able to download the updated file using the link you received with your order. If the link doesn’t work, please contact Support to receive the latest version. Thanks.

  4. Save the changes.

If you are using our EU VAT Assistant plugin, you can update all EU tax rates with a single click. Simply select the rate type at the bottom of the page and click on Update EU VAT Rates. Make sure that you select the appropriate rates (Standard or Reduced), the plugin will do the rest.
