Last Friday, we announced an exciting change to our ecosystem. Meet Advantage Shop!

Formerly known as Cider Plus, Advantage Shop is our ecommerce solution. As the digital storefront and self‑service experience for organizations running on Advantage, it plays a significant role in the customer journey. Learn more about Shop and its evolution over on our blog: https://www.advantagecs.com/blog/introducing-advantage-shop-a-new-name-with-a-story-behind-it

Introducing Advantage Shop: A New Name (with a Story Behind It) Our ecommerce solution — initially called "Cider" — evolved into Cider Plus, adding performance, security, extensibility, and modern features to its early strengths. Today, that evolution continues as Cider Plus becomes Advantage Shop.

As we strive to build a comprehensive ecosystem for our clients, we are always looking to form partnerships that maximize revenue. To that end, we're excited to announce an integration with Revaly, a payment performance platform.

Our Executive Vice President & CTO Matt Varblow put it this way: "By combining Advantage’s industry-proven subscription capabilities with Revaly’s recovery expertise, we help publishers and membership organizations keep more subscribers active month after month. It’s a simple, effective way to protect the revenue you’ve already earned."

Thank you to the teams at AdvantageCS and Revaly for bringing this powerful solution to our clients.
