It means more time working on Jilt and making it even more powerful and easy to use. We have some big updates coming in a few weeks, but here are some of the things we’ve rolled out recently.

The entire Jilt team is about to hop on planes, some of us traveling halfway around the world, for our annual team retreat (this year in Lake Tahoe, California!). But before we ship out for our team meetup, we’re shipping you some shiny new Jilt features. This month we added a related products block to the email editor, improved our reporting for shipping and tax payments, and more. Related product blocks Product recommendations are awesome. […]
Spring is officially here (at least in the Northern Hemisphere where most of the Jilt team lives) and Jilt continues to sprout new features. Since our last update, we’ve made a number of improvements to Jilt that will make things easier for shops with multiple managers or those that contract with outside developers, and released v1.3 of Jilt for Easy Digital Downloads. But what we’re most excited about is what we’re working on next… Request […]
You know the stats. 70 percent of online shopping carts are abandoned before purchase, and by using an eCommerce email marketing tool like Jilt, you can recover some of that revenue. But here’s the rub: only a portion of those abandoned carts are recoverable. If you haven’t collected an email address from the customer, Jilt can’t send recovery emails. That’s why we’ve introduced a new feature that helps you collect email addresses from more of […]
We organize our work at Jilt into six week cycles with two week buffers. Planning this way helps us prioritize and make sure we’re able to consistently deliver new features and updates. You’ll see the proof of that in updates like this one every few weeks. (Curious to learn more about this process? We based it on how Basecamp organizes their work.) We’re in the middle of our current cycle, and we’ve got a few […]

Account usage estimates When we moved to usage-based billing, Jilt started to send emails with estimated usage for the month, so you’d know what to expect on your bill. […]
The holiday shopping season is in full swing, and your busy time is our busy time. Over Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Jilt sent over 120,000 emails that helped stores recover almost half a million dollars! It was intense, but this update isn’t just about telling you how hard our servers worked over BFCM. In addition to helping shops rescue thousands of dollars, we’ve also made some big changes to Jilt that we’re pretty excited […]
For Katie Keith, cofounder of Barn2 Media, finding Jilt was like finding free money. As one of the UK’s leading WordPress and WooCommerce developers, Katie, who runs Barn2 with her husband Andy, was familiar with the challenges faced by eCommerce companies. But it wasn’t until they started selling their own premium WordPress plugins in March 2016 that they began to experience those issues firsthand. “After designing WooCommerce websites for clients for years, I was already […]
