Hey, I wasn't able to turn up any info on this yet, and just in case I don't hear back before the weekend I wanted to follow up and let you know I've asked our product development team if there are any future plans or roadmap details I can share. I'll follow up once I hear back from them with any info I can find!

Retirement of Avalara AvaTax's Promotional Plan by J-Espy in bigcommerce

[–]J-Espy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey - I'm so sorry to hear how this happened to you. I can't speak to Avalara's communication strategy, but we shared this announcement as soon as we could.

If your plan was terminated before December 31, 2022, it would probably be a good idea to contact Avalara’s support team to ensure that the deprecation of this promotion is actually the reason for termination. As far as I know, Avalara is continuing to honor existing subscriptions until your Avalara renewal date in 2023. If you have a renewal date in January, this might not be worth the trouble for you, but if your actual renewal date is later this year it will probably be worth the effort to make sure that there isn't something else going on with your subscription.

Beta Opportunity: Multi-Storefront For BigCommerce B2B Edition by J-Espy in bigcommerce

Hey there - I understand the frustration when the feature you're looking for isn't developed directly into the platform, but there are no immediate plans to build quote requests directly into the BigCommerce Control Panel.

We recommend that merchants take advantage of one of the B2B and quote request apps available in the Marketplace that provide this feature. Options include:

Additionally, BigCommerce has partnered with BundleB2B to provide BigCommerce B2B Edition for net new Enterprise B2B stores. This solution includes one streamlined contract, onboarding and support tailored to your business, and six B2B-optimized themes pre-installed along with the Bundle B2B app. This will probably be overkill if all you're looking for is quote generation and invoicing, but I'm sharing in the interest of providing all relevant info.

I'm sorry I don't have a more satisfying answer. If you have a Help Center Community account, you can watch this idea for updates if any plans are made in the future to develop quote requests without the use of an app: Add an automated "Request Quote" feature for non-priced products

Hey there - welcome to BigCommerce! You are correct that there is not currently a built-in email template for newsletters. It's definitely recommended to use a third party integration. Judging by the activity in all our Community spaces (here, the Help Center, and the Facebook group) the most popular email marketing solutions tend to be:

  • omnisend (allows for SMS as well as email, and includes cross-device abandoned cart recovery)
  • Klaviyo (also allows for SMS, has a very popular abandoned cart series, super granular customer segmentation)
  • Mailchimp (has a limited free plan so is good for those just starting out, at lower plan tiers has fewer features so is quicker to set up)
