October 2022 has been a very busy month for us. We've released our biggest update so far, with many significant changes including pricing changes, international shipping, multiple currencies and SEO boost feature. We're eager to share all of our latest changes with you.
International shipping
We now give the possibility to customers around the world to purchase on The Good Boutique. Depending on your e-commerce platform, you will see a newly added block allowing to specify what countries you are currently shipping to.

There is no need to specify the shipping countries, we read these values from the shipping locations you have set up in your WooCommerce store.

Boost individual products
Since the 1st of November 2022, you are now able to promote individual products thanks to our "Boost" feature. All you need to do is to select one of your products, the date range in which you would like to promote the product, and complete the payment.
You product will be featured on thegoodboutique.com homepage and the shop main page under the section "Product of the week". The pricing is currently at £89 per week of promotion.
You can now promote individual products to encourage sales.
Pricing changes & reduced commissions
Our goal is to focus our marketing efforts and resources on paid merchants. This is why we removed the free plan altogether as we believe our added-value has been proven for our paid merchants. We are also reducing the commissions on all plans as following:

- The Standard Plan is now priced at £49/month (excl. VAT).

- The commission is now reduced from 12% to 10% for yearly plans only.

Our goal is to have you with us on the long term, without hurting your margins. This is why we've decided to reduce the commission for all plans to encourage you to switch to the plan that suits you best.
