Tier 1 and Tier 2

Last month (March 2023), our plan was to begin migrating a group of 10 IndieLite stores over to the new IndieCommerce 2.0 (IC 2.0) platform. Based on how quickly those stores moved, we could then determine a rough timeline that we would share with stores who are waiting to be migrated from existing Indiecommerce and IndieLite websites, over to IC 2.0. We had to change that timeline as other work needed to be prioritized in March.

Here is your IndieCommerce 2.0 Update for the week ending March 24th, 2023
