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.

Here is your IndieCommerce 2.0 Update for the week ending March 24th, 2023

Tier 1 and Tier 2

• Blogs - Stores can now add ‘Related Products’ to Blogs, the related products can be books, store merchandise, gift cards etc. The theming of the Blog page with the related products is under development.
• Order Activity Logs - When viewing an order as a Site Administrator or Order Manager, the ‘Order Activity’ section now includes logs for actions taken on an order

In the first weeks of August, we handed over the first IC 2.0 sites to our initial group of ABA member stores, and they are hard at work populating their new sites with content. While working on their new sites, these stores have been providing our developers and support staff with invaluable feedback and suggestions.

As a result of their insights, the IndieCommerce development team and our project partners from Lullabot have pushed out some excellent new features and improvements.As each of these is completed by the development team, they then undergo extensive testing prior to the new code being merged back into each store’s 2.0 website.
