This new free feature represents an exciting development at the heart of our BaseKit Connect roadmap in 2023 to connect the many separate steps of transacting online into a simple and repeatable workflow for our partners’ customers.

We unveiled new, simple customisable options to our pre-boarding pages on the BaseKit Platform. Partners can now brand the experience they deliver immediately before their customers build their business online with BaseKit.
