UWindsor Drupal Webforms Moving to TouchNet for Ecommerce
On the morning of Monday May 16th, we will be migrating our Drupal webforms over to the new TouchNet ecommerce solution that UWindsor has partnered with. You should not experience any significant downtime but users may notice that the payment processing page looks different than it did under our previous vendor.
Should you encounter any issues during the migration process or once the new TouchNet ecommerce solution is implemented, please let us know by opening a service ticket and we will investigate as soon as we are able.
