  1. Feature

    Automate your blog with the official n8n node

    n8n-nodes-velocms is live on npm — publish posts, upload media, moderate comments, and react to webhooks from your n8n workflows, no custom code required.

    Publish to your blog straight from Claude

    The official VeloCMS MCP server (@velocms/mcp on npm) lets you draft, publish, and manage posts from Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or Cursor with a single API key.

  3. Feature

    Find anything in your dashboard, instantly

    The dashboard search now understands what you mean — type "domain", a post title, or even a typo, and jump straight to the right page, setting, action, or piece of content, grouped and ranked as you type.

  4. Feature

    Outrank connector — import SEO articles straight into your blog

    Build your content strategy in Outrank, then automatically import each article as a draft post to VeloCMS with a single webhook — no copy-paste, no re-keying, just your best writing ready to review and publish.

  5. Theme

    31 classic themes reborn with custom storefronts

    Your entire theme collection now ships with bespoke mobile menus, cart experiences, and shop layouts. No more one-size-fits-all stores — every theme's design language extends seamlessly into commerce.

  6. Theme

    Bespoke storefronts for every designer theme

    Every design theme now has its own shop layout, mobile menu, and cart experience — no two stores look the same. The raw-data shop contract means your theme shapes the commerce experience, not the other way around.

  7. Theme

    Inference — the AI newsroom theme

    Built for AI publications and signal services. Live ticker feeds, curated briefing wire, signal index, and a typography pairing that feels like professional journalism—all responsive and thematic from newsroom to storefront.

  8. Feature

    Connect your root domain from any registrar

    Use your own domain on any registrar — GoDaddy, Namecheap, Route53, or your Cloudflare DNS. VeloCMS detects your setup and gives you the exact DNS records you need. No Enterprise Cloudflare plan required.

  9. Theme

    Seven new cinematic themes — from law firms to maker studios

    A fresh animation collection: a measured law-firm masthead, a naturalist's dark-sky journal, a chef's recipe book, a touring musician's stage, a calm therapist's practice, a collector's museum, and a maker's workbench — each with its own typography, motion, and mood.

  10. Commerce

    Server-side ad conversion tracking (Meta + TikTok)

  14. Commerce

    Keygen connector — sell software with license keys that reach the buyer

    Selling an app, plugin, or font? Every purchase now issues a real license key automatically — delivered to the buyer and always recoverable from their order page. A whole new product category on VeloCMS.

  15. Commerce

    Shippo connector — send physical orders straight to your fulfillment tool

    Every physical order flows into your Shippo dashboard the moment it's paid, ready for a shipping label — with the buyer's address and items already filled in. No more re-keying orders by hand.

  20. Feature

    WYSIWYG page builder — drag blocks into sections to build nested layouts

    Drag any block directly onto a section or container in the page editor and it nests inside automatically. Reorder blocks within containers just like you would at the root level. Your visual editor now matches how the published page renders.

  21. Commerce

Every block you click springs into view with FLIP-optimized motion. Grab corners to resize; see your changes in real-time. Zero visual clutter, pure editing flow.

  8. Theme

    All 30 themes now support commerce — each selling in its own visual language

    Every theme — from monospaced code-first Terminal to editorial Velvet to minimalist Engineering — now renders a fully themed shop catalog, product pages, and checkout experience. VeloCMS uses intelligent archetype patterns so your store feels like an extension of your brand, not a generic add-on. Buyers see cart, checkout, and tracking pages that match your chosen aesthetic.

  9. Commerce

    Free retention features — back-in-stock alerts, abandoned carts, wishlists & price drop notifications

    Bring customers back without paid ads. They add out-of-stock items to a wishlist and get a ping when it's back. Abandoned carts recover automatically with a gentle email reminder — and if prices drop on items they saved, they know. VeloCMS includes these for free because Shopify charges $10–40/month for each feature separately.

  10. Commerce

    Wishlist with intelligent notifications — know when customers save your products & prices drop

    Your readers can heart products they love and keep tabs on the price. You get visibility into what they want, and they get nudged back when prices dip or stock runs low. It's the free layer of the Conversion Suite that turns browsers into buyers.

  11. Commerce

    Full order fulfillment — shipping thresholds, order notes, a pick-and-ship queue & live order tracking

    Physical store orders now flow through a complete lifecycle: customers get free shipping automatically when their cart hits your threshold, can leave a note with their order, and store owners get a dedicated Unfulfilled queue to pick, pack, and ship with confidence. Every buyer also gets a private link to track their order and follow the carrier — Evri, DHL, Aramex and more — right to the door.

  12. Feature

    Connect VeloCMS to anything — API, webhooks & n8n

    An open REST API, HMAC-signed webhooks, and live event triggers — plus an n8n connector — so creators and agencies wire their content, store, and members into n8n, Zapier, Make and thousands of automation tools.

  13. Feature

    Embed any video, playlist, or interactive widget

    Creators can now drop YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, SoundCloud, and CodePen embeds into any page block. GDPR-respectful click-to-load facade + zero tenant configuration.

  14. Feature
