The acceleration of the digital economy means for new small businesses, the need for online transactions has gone from ‘one day’ to ‘day one’.
In March we unveiled our Connect vision for the BaseKit Platform, designed to change the game for small business owners by mitigating the complexities and potential business failure for those tirelessly managing many different apps, accounting packages and spreadsheets at once.
BaseKit Connect is at the heart of our 2023 product roadmap to further help our partners activate more BaseKit Store and Bookings customers.

In March this year we introduced the Customers application – a single place to view all customer details and transactions for users of our Store and Bookings on the BaseKit Platform.
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.
Via a simple control panel, the new feature offers the ability to fully customise colours and images on each page.
More about pre-boarding.
We integrated with stock image and video provider Pexels. This gave our Partners’ customers new unlimited access to the 3.2 million free stock images and videos with improved search engine and language support for non-english speakers.
We also improved our image search and editing functionality – making it super simple to search for images in one place and crop and rotae them within the editor before placing them on a page.
