Stefan from Ahoi.dev | The Pier #36 | Friday, 23 Feb 2024

Hi there,

Welcome to the 36th issue of The Pier. As you may already know, we use the fantastic Newsletter Glue plugin to create The Pier newsletter directly in the WordPress editor. With release 2.3.0, the editor has been updated to include the brand new v3 blocks for Gutenberg to ease the transition to version 3.0.

SureCart 2.18 has finally introduced one-click upsells, allowing you to add post-purchase sales funnels to your checkout flow, currently in beta. The team is currently working on tax overrides, invoice prefixes, order bumps/upsell statistics, upsell quantity controls, affiliate coupons and overrides and more.

Here is a selection of the latest and greatest blog posts we published this week on Ahoi.dev. You will also find some interesting industry news, the latest directory listings on The Port, job openings, and deals. Enjoy!
