FastPivot's Female Team Rocks www.redkoala.com

Recently meeting Red Koala Canvas Company’s founder Abby Port in person, was an incredible experience. Chosen as a finalist in the Seeds for Success Contest, sponsored by Yahoo! Small Business, she was in need of a fresh, clean and customized web site and FastPivot was ready to help. As one of the internet design and development companies sponsoring this contest, and within driving distance of Atlanta, we presented the first round of design in person in May.

In June, a “light” site was launched on Yahoo! Merchant Solutions, enabling Abby to announce her new site and begin selling t-shirts with some of the artist’s designs while work on the canvas configurator was being completed. On July 29, Red Koala Canvas Company launched the fully-functional, gorgeous site, www.redkoala.com.

Here’s what makes this store special: you can create a customized wall canvas for yourself, your kids or your friends through a nifty tool that lets you to choose an image, pick a background color, add text and more. You can submit your child’s own artwork to have placed on canvas or choose from a collection of awesome images painted by artists. Go to RedKoala.com to give it a whirl.

FastPivot is thrilled to be a part of the Yahoo! Seeds for Success Empowering Women Entrepreneurs Contest and we are excited to watch Abby go after her dreams.

Yahoo! Checkout Manager Migration Information

The August 15, 2008 Checkout Manager migration deadline will be here very soon. Merchants still using older versions of checkout (Order Forms) must move to Checkout Manager by August 15.

Stores that have not moved to Checkout Manager by this date will be automatically migrated, but not republished. All merchants are reminded that Order Settings MUST be republished following migration. If you do not republish your Order Settings, your store will not be able to accept orders once the old checkout servers are shut down.

What resources are available to help with the migration?
Information about how to migrate from Order Forms to Checkout Manager is available in the Checkout Manager Testing and Enabling section of online help. To learn more about Checkout Manager's features and functions, you can consult Checkout Manager help, and download the Getting Started with Checkout Manager Guide.

Where can I find developers to help me migrate?
FastPivot is a developer from the Yahoo! Merchant Solutions Developer Network that can help with migration and is anauthorized partner capable of assisting with this change.

What happens if I do not move to Checkout Manager before the end of the migration period?
All stores still using older versions of checkout will be migrated to Checkout Manager at the end of the migration period, but your Order Settings will not be republished. If you do not republish Order Settings after being moved to Checkout Manager, your store's checkout will only function until the old checkout servers are shut down within two weeks of the migration.

What happens if I do not republish following the shutdown of the older checkout systems?
If you don't republish Order Settings after moving to Checkout Manager, your store's checkout will not function once the older checkout systems are shut down. Once Order Settings are republished, your checkout will again become functional.
