Let's take a tour and see the new features and improvements that have been implemented.



New Packages(Memberships) Design

Packages/Memberships is one of the most important section of the extension and serveral improvements were added:

- possibility to add new custom features that are link with some external features that you can offer on your website.
- possiblity to define the design for the package: color, border color and background color.
