No-code is a term that is currently in vogue. Not a day goes by without a new no-code tool being posted on Product Hunt.

No-code, low-code, all these tools are there to allow you to do extraordinary things, without writing a single line of code. 

You're immediately thinking about GoodBarber? You're right :) With GoodBarber, you can create an app of your restaurant, an app of your grocery store, an app of your clothing store or an app of your local newspaper without any technical knowledge... but you already know that. 

What you may not know is that GoodBarber teams have been offering no-code tools for 20 years! Yes, 20 years ;)

There are 2 types of Apps with GoodBarber: Shopping Apps and Content Apps. In all, GoodBarber offers over 500 features and new ones are released regularly. With a GoodBarber Reseller subscription, you can create unlimited Apps, and therefore, you can create as many demo apps as you want. 

Now, this is why creating demo apps is good practice.

That's it 2021 is finally here! After this rather special year, the  GoodBarber team wishes you all the best for the coming year and of course a lot of success in your journey as an app creator! 

In December, we worked on a new Fast Checkout add-on. We created it to simplify the payment process and remove unnecessary steps for your clients. Depending on the shipping method activated in your shop, during the ordering process, your clients will only be asked to provide specific information about the chosen shipping method. No more time wasted filling in unnecessary details! 

You'll find below a summary of the improvements and updates made during the month of December 2020
 

Happy New Year from all of us at GoodBarber. 
All our best wishes for 2021 :)

Pace e Salute!

Already available in the Classic App, the Contact Form is now available for your Shopping App. 

This great tool is the perfect way to interact with your clients. 

 

This popular add-on on our Classic platform is now available for Shopping Apps! 

With the JSON add-on, you can access hidden settings as well as personalize your app even more. 
It is also a great feature for Resellers wanting to offer more options to their clients.

What a year, right?

The Covid-19 pandemic has been one of the main events that made 2020 a year like no other. 
It changed our way of working as we knew it.
It took its toll on many communities and small businesses.
Being present on digital channels has proven to be a must for these businesses. 

2020 has been a year of unprecedented changes and challenges. But we remain optimistic. We've seen the people helping people. Businesses stepping up and even grow. 

As we are a few days away from leaving 2020 behind, we take a moment to look at GoodBarber's key moments. 

 

For your Shopping App, as for any online shop, the checkout is one of the most important steps. How smooth (or not) the buyer experience is at this moment will determine if your potential client finalizes the purchase or not. 

When you know that the average cart abandonment rate is 69.57%, you'll want to optimize your checkout page. Lucky for you, GoodBarber is always looking for ways to enhance your shopping app.
In addition to already existing optimization features such as one-click payment, quick-buy button, we have now released the Fast Checkout add-on. 


 

Each year, Apple suspends app reviews during the Christmas week. This year App Store Connect will not be accepting any submission from December 23 to 27 (Pacific Time).

Here are the different scenarios and see the impact of this announcement on your iOS submission.

This month we've been working to help you comply with the new standards. No jealousy this time, one is for Shopping Apps, and the other for Classic Apps:
 

• SCA payment: On December 31, 2020, the new security requirements imposed on banks and payment organizations by the Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2 ) will take effect in the countries of the European Economic Area (EEA). The European standard called SCA (Strong Customer Authentication), which is version 2 of the 3D Secure payment, will then come out.
• Transparency and Consent Framework: The IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau) has published a new version of the Transparency and Consent Framework, TCF V2. The objective is to ensure transparency between publishers (owners of sites displaying ads), ad networks, and suppliers (ad suppliers) using CMPs (Consent Management Platforms) that are verified by the IAB.

 

This pandemic is having an immediate and long-term impact on small businesses. From lockdown to restrictions, and social distancing, small business owners have had to adapt and find solutions to keep their business running. 
 

Digital channels are becoming the new norm. For example, local farmers have been embracing digital technologies as a way to directly sell produce. 
 

A positive trend from this new norm is the support for small and local businesses. People are specifically seeking out local, independently-owned businesses. Many social media campaigns are dedicated to shopping locally and #supportlocalbusiness or #shoplocal are trending. 
 

At GoodBarber, we’re here to support you and help you keep your business open by offering you solutions adapted to your needs.
