We are getting close to the end of the year and all of the exciting holidays that come during this time.

Before we all step away from our computers and work for the holiday’s I want to give you some updates about the closed beta of North Commerce.

We have learned a lot during this process and sometimes there is certain things you can’t plan for when in the UI/UX phase of building something like this.

The plan always has been to release a single page checkout form during closed beta with the builder so everyone could get a feel for what it will be like while being able to create beautiful sales pages or funnels.

That plan ☝️ is changing….

Here is what we are going to do and we felt this will provide a way more meaningful plugin for you all to experiment with during the closed beta.

The closed beta rollout:

We will now be releasing the close beta out in 5 phases. Each phase will be a different step in an ecommerce flow with the exception of the single page checkout forms.

Here is a quick little rundown of what that will look like:

Each element will be a single template design with no builder. (If you want to customize the template you can simply add some CSS to the page you’ve added the shortcode to).

We will release in this order:

1. Single Page Checkouts (Great for sales pages and funnels)
2. Product Page Template
3. Product List (A collection view of all of your products)
4. Cart Page / Cart Icon (item count)
5. Ecommerce Checkout Form

While all these will be templated designs they will provide you with all the tools you’ll need to create an actual ecommerce site for yourself or clients.

Originally we weren’t going to allow anyone to go to production or test it out on a real website until start of next summer but we want to release all these templates by the end of the year or early January 2022.

The price for the closed beta will cost $349 and will be available for 1 week. (Date of Release TBD)

This will include:

• Lifetime Unlimited Site License – Never pay again for an update or integration
• Single Page Checkout Forms
• Product Page Templates
• Product Lists
• Cart Pages / Cart Icon
• Ecommerce Checkout Form
• Ecommerce Micro Builder
• Priority Support
• Top Integration & Feature Requests Priority

This will be the best deal we will ever do in the history of North Plugin. Once we roll out v1 the price will be $15 / month for 1 single site.

The closed beta version of the plugin will still work with every theme and builder so you won’t be restricted. If you have any questions, feel free to email me or chat with me in the Discord.
