Swift Template or not

[Golf Tee Warehouse]

I have a licence fo Sellerdeck V18.0 from 2 years ago but never got around to creating a site on it and have contoinued with my old v9 version, when I looked last year I wasn't overly impressed with the supplied templates.
I now intend to make a strat but before I spend time on my V18.0 version is it worth taking over cover to get the upgrade to v18.1 and access to the Swift template

Is the Swit template now generally considered the best option or does it still have too many issues and not worth the cost of upgrading

Remember you will need the fix for SD payments by October 4th if you do not go to 18.2.
I love swift but needed a lot of expert help to convert from a standard theme.

This from Sellerdeck:

If you are not on the latest version of Sellerdeck Desktop (v16.1.1, v18.1.1 or higher) you must take action now to ensure you can continue to receive card payments. Without taking action you will not be able to receive card payments.

From 4th October 2021 Sellerdeck Payments powered by NMI will enforce a security upgrade.

This upgrade has already been applied to v16.1.1 & v18.1.1 and all subsequent versions – meaning if you are on these versions there is no action required.

NOTE: Sellerdeck Payments powered by Opayo is not affected and there is no action if you use this payment gateway.

As regards Swift (which is excellent by the way), as with all generic templates to get the most out of it and to have it work well with your business identity it is extremely useful to enlist the help of a designer used to working in Sellerdeck. There is a list of us here: http://portal.sellerdeck.co.uk/index...gory/directory

In addition Sellerdeck themselves offer a design service https://www.sellerdeck.co.uk/how-we-...d-development/

Yes, this is why I am looking again now, as I am using V9 so no fix available, without changing to a completely different payment option

Yes, I am hoping to get something up and running quickly with a majority of my best selling products to keep running, then employee a designer to improve the design and layout

AFAIK Sellerdeck have sorted most of the problems with Swift.

I don't use it because I've put a lot of effort into optimising my earlier V18 and I really don't want to go through the while thing again with Swift.

If I was in your position though I would probably go straight for the Swift option.

Thanks, I know previouly I had read about various issues and didn't want to jump in only to find I am spending weeks trying to get things to work.
Sounds like Swift is the way to go

Swift v2 is available now for new implementations. It fixes most of the issues with v1, and all of the significant ones.

We are working on a Desktop extension to upgrade Swift v1 sites, which is a bit delayed but should be available within a few weeks.

Ok, so if I took out a cover contract I could get access to the Swift v2 immediately

P.S. Is the Swift template included with the 30 day trial version or a separate request only provided with a cover contract and not available under the 30 day trial

[brucet]

Yes, that's right. Swift is included with Cover or Sellerdeck 365. It's not included with the 30 day trial version.

I have just taken out a new cover contract and was provided with V1 of the Swift template. can you confirm if V2 is actually available yet

Hi Darren,

Swift v2 is available for new installations, I'll ask a colleague to check that you've been sent v2 and if not I'll request they send one straight away.

Thanks, Josh

Thanks Josh, I had emailed them back but still not got any replies

The link I was given goes to "swift_official_v1.0.0.030320_2149.acd", which appears to be V1 and not v2

My old version will no longer accept payment after 4th Oct so keen to get the new version ASAP
