Migrating from the legacy WordPress plugin

Updated yesterday

This article is for users of our (now legacy) WordPress plugin.

We recently released a faster and easier way to connect your WooCommerce site to Sign Customiser. If you were previously using the Sign Customiser plugin that you installed via the WordPress "plugins" tab, this article will walk you through the steps required to use the newer integration.

Why should I switch to the API Integration?

Our new API integration is significantly faster than the WordPress plugin for the add-to-cart process. The legacy plugin required more network requests, longer image processing times, and was harder to debug. Upgrading to our new API integration will lead to more conversions on your site as users will be lead to your checkout process in less time.

The WordPress plugin will also no longer be receiving new features, so in order to take advantage of all of the new features we are releasing you will be required to upgrade.

How do I switch to the new API integration?

Start out by deleting the old iframe/javascript code you had previously configured on your customiser page. It looked something like this:

<iframe src="https://web.signcustomiser.com/embed/YOUR_CUSTOMISER_ID"></iframe>
<script src="https://integrations.signcustomiser.com/sign-customiser-woocommerce.js"></script>
<script> window.SpcWc.init(); </script>

Then follow the instructions outlined in the article linked here to set up the new integration:

The above article will walk you through the steps required to set up the new API integration.

Do I need to uninstall the Sign Customiser WordPress plugin?

It is not required to uninstall the Sign Customiser WordPress plugin, though after switching to the new API integration it will no longer provide any functionality for your site.
