The IndieCommerce team is very excited to announce the phased rollout of the new IndieCommerce 2.0 platform.
During this transition, all websites on the current IndieCommerce and IndieLite platforms will continue to be fully supported until every store has been moved to their new 2.0 website. For those stores that will not be moving to 2.0 this year, one of the new features we’re working on for the upcoming holiday shopping season will be real time postage quotes from USPS.
The migration of stores to 2.0 will continue through October 31, 2022. Then beginning November 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 we will temporarily pause adding new sites during the holiday shopping season, then begin moving stores again starting January 1, 2023.
In this first phase of the transition to IC 2.0, we will be working with new stores that recently joined IC, IndieLite stores as well as some Indiecommerce stores that have a limited need for advanced features. These stores represent the majority of sites on the IndieCommerce platform and their technical structure allows us to move them to the 2.0 platform more quickly. Larger stores that require more advanced website features will be moved in later phases.
Geetha Nathan our senior manager hosted the 'Introduction to IndieCommerce 2.0' webinar that reviewed many of the new features and services that will be available on the new platform. A recording of the session is available further down on this page. Additional materials, including a Q&A document and suggested site preparations, are also available.
