WooCommerce 2.2, or the Prowling Pangolin release as it’s also known as, was officially released today. We’ve been busy putting 2.2 through the ringer the last couple of weeks as release candidates were being pushed out by the core team. We’re glad to report that our first WooCommerce theme Captiva is 100% compatible with WooCommerce 2.2!
It’s one of the oldest tricks in the business book – creating scarcity. When faced with impending scarcity, many customers will try and beat the countdown and buy.
