In this edition: Getting ready for WooCommerce 4.0, many new plugin updates and features, WordCamps plus more community news. Plus read the story of two of our developers in the Crew-member Highlight.
Over 1.8 Million users and growing
In February the team got together in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. During this week, we released our POS plugin, which has been really well received and already used by hundred's of stores.
Another interesting statistic we realised, is that over 1.8 million YITH plugins are activated. We are really chuffed with this result and we will continue developing and supporting the many free and premium plugins 365 days a year with an even bigger smile and dedication.
WooCommerce 4.0 will come out soon with new features and tools including the new admin interface, better reporting and notifications. Our team is hard at work testing all plugins and to guarantee that everything is ready for this release.
We are working on the final touches of the translation hub, where any user can add translations to our premium plugins, for your own projects or to make the plugins available into more locales.
Updated and Enhanced
Here are just a few of the many updates we committed in February
- Order status set to Processing based on the shipping address for POS
- Points and Rewards plugin with new checkout threshold options
- Easy login and Register plugin now in Italian
- Almost all plugins now supporting WooCommerce V4.0
- All plugins are being tested with the new YITH Proteo Themes

What to expect in March
The revamps of the existing plugins continues... [Customize my Account]( will soon be rereleased, but also [YITH WooCommerce Subscriptions]( is undergoing a complete code review with additional features.
The best news if you run a [multi-vendor store]( is that [YITH Account Funds]( will have much better compatibility to manage credits, refunds and commission from the dashboard. Much more will be revealed in the coming weeks on that.
New Plugin in development
The [YITH Store Locator for WordPress]( most likely be released at the end of the month. This is a very useful WordPress plugin that can be used without WooCommerce.
Best value ever - manage all your stores with 6- or 30-licenses for EACH plugin
The two club memberships; the âStarter Planâ which allows you to install any of our plugins on up to 6 websites, whereas the âPro Planâ plan can be activated on 30 sites, are ever so popular. Many new and existing customers discover the value the club offers with many new plugins being released each year and a say of what you'd like to see developed next. [Club Membership page >](

YITH in the Spotlight
A Q&A with our Point of Sale Developers
Each month we highlight some of the crew-members that make up the team. Some of them you might see at WordCamps, while many of the team do what they do best⦠which is coding or support and answer your questions.
This month, we introduce to you the two members of the crew that played a vital role in the development of the latest released [YITH Point of Sale for WooCommerce plugin](. We normally feature one person, but both these developers are so inspiring and been brilliant in the latest plugin development, so we decided to highlight them both.
"I learned that you have to throw yourself into things even if you think you don't have the skills. You always have to get involved and play the game. If you have problems that you cannot overcome, you are not alone, you are part of a team, there is always someone who can help you win the game." - Emanuela - Developer at YITH.

WordCamps & Meetup News
WordCamp Chiclana
We recently visited WordCamp Chiclana and [wrote an extensive]( post]( it. We had three speakers from YITH at this event in Spain as well as being a top-level sponsor.
Nando, our CEO: "The environment that is generated when knowledge is shared, creates satisfaction and motivation to continue working on new projects and improve both personally and professionally.
my tip is going to the WordCamp with the thought of having fun and meeting new people."
Where to see us nextâ¦

WordPress London
Ronald, our community and partnership manager, spoke at the WP&UP organised [London WordPress Meetup]( about using Advanced Google Analytics and your WooCommerce store and how to increase sales. This well-received talk started a lot of conversation and questions. Ronald already has plans to speak in Bristol, Leeds and Cardiff in the UK.
Q&A from the Community
In recent weeks weâve received some valuable feedback from the WooCommerce community. This includes the option to remove database tables more easily, which is now being developed in our framework. (Advanced WooCommerce Facebook group)
Adding maps to store locations - a new plugin âStore Locatorâ to be released that will make this a lot easier. (WooCommerce Help and Share)
Robert wrote a post about menus and options and if we can improve this. We are pleased to say that we are working hard on this with every new version plugin release to create the best possible user experience for different users.
WooCommerce (Automattic) recently, announced they stopped selling multi-licences for new purchases. Since then, weâve had several questions emailed to us and mentions in Facebook groups, whether we are considering a similar move. ð¤nope... we donât believe it is in our userâs interest.
Another commonly asked question is if the club memberships prices will change in the future? This will happen as the value and service are reflected in the price, but existing members will not see a price increase as long the club subscription is not cancelled.
Never hesitate to reach out to us, we are here for you today and every day :-)
