So you want to update your EPiServer Commerce site, but you don’t want to lose orders. That’s still not really possible, a little downtime is still needed, or I missed something.

I also added on request an option for automatic translations through an external provider. I chose Bing, as it has quite enough free translations a month to … Continue reading A custom localization provider for EPiServer 7, revisited
In my last post I wrote about a way to schedule emails, instead of sending them immediately. This was for WebForms though. Getting this to work in MVC was not that easy. I am not sure if there are some bugs in EPiServer, or that I am missing something somewhere, but this is what it … Continue reading Schedule XForm data mailings in MVC
Our client did not want an email very single time a customer filled in a form, but instead wanted a scheduled mailing with all entries.
