Silicon Dales introduce and review “MyGate Payment Gateway”, a WooCommerce extension.
Gist
Gist is the name given to little snippets of code, hosted by GitHub, for the benefit of anyone.
At Silicon Dales, because we love Open Source, we use Gists to store and share all our little WordPress and WooCommerce (or anything else) snippets, after spending a heap of time a few years ago converting ALL snippets to be Gists in this here website… a pretty big operation.
Posts which contain Gists will be given this tag, too. You can find the most recently updated item containing a Gist in the list below. That was almost poetry. Almost.
