Use Theme Engine API endpoints to skip and unskip multiple subscriptions

When customers choose to skip or unskip, all operations will perform simultaneously, which can increase the speed of operations by 5x. Customers will see a decrease in waiting time once they choose to skip or unskip, and those customers that average more than one subscription or have onetimes will see an improvement.

How does it work? Learn more here.

New Theme Engine version now available

Merchants will now have visibility into the differences between every template version we launch and access to release notes and documentation. 

In addition, rolling out new features will be less disruptive because they won’t affect your current theme and our team will better be able to support you because we will know exactly which version you are currently using. 

In order for you to benefit from these changes, upgrade to the newest version of Base or Novum (3.0.0): 

  1. Visit your Theme Editor Page. 
  2. Create a new theme. 
  3. Copy all of your customizations to the new theme. 
  4. Publish your new theme.
