It seems just like yesterday we were recapping everything that happened in 2015 at FoxyCart. Believe it or not, 2016 is coming to a close and 2017 will be here in just a couple of days. We’re super excited about what the new year holds, but before we get ahead of ourselves, we’d like to celebrate this year’s accomplishments and thank our loyal community of users for another successful year.
