Changelog

Protecting your revenue shouldn't be a manual chore.
We’ve introduced a new Auto-Deny logic for banned affiliates.

Now, when you ban an affiliate, the system automatically checks for pending commissions and handles the denial process for you.

With an added 24-hour security lock, you can rest easy knowing your program is protected from bad actors without the administrative headache.

Context is everything when managing a customer.

You can now view comprehensive subscription data directly within the transaction details screen in the Payments → Transactions section of your account.

No more switching tabs or cross-referencing sections, as everything you need to manage a customer’s journey is now visible in one unified view, allowing for faster support and better management.

We have introduced a proactive defense suite designed to intercept disputes before they ever become "official" chargebacks. This new feature allows you to resolve customer refund requests during the critical pre-dispute window, preventing damage to your payment gateway health.

What’s New:

• Integrated Alert Networks: Direct connectivity with Ethoca, CDRN, and RDR to notify you the moment a dispute is initiated.

• Pre-emptive Resolution: New tools to intervene and issue refunds manually or automatically before a chargeback is finalized.

• Customizable Automation: Define specific rules based on order value or product type to trigger auto-refunds and protect your account 24/7.

You can now configure these settings under Tools → Chargeback Protection.

If you sell consulting, coaching, or any service that requires tracking "usage," this feature is for you.

First impressions are important, but the final touch is what leaves a lasting impact.

We have completely redesigned the Default Thank You Page to give your customers a polished, professional, and conversion-ready post-purchase experience.

What’s New:

• Modern UI: A cleaner, updated look that aligns with current design standards and builds brand trust.

• Enhanced Order Summary: As seen in the new design, customer, billing, and shipping details are now organized into a clear, easy-to-read hierarchy.

• Actionable Access: We’ve improved the visibility of post-purchase actions. Customers can now easily find buttons to Download Invoices, Access Purchases, and retrieve License Keys right from the summary card.

• Automatic Upgrade: If you are currently using the "Default" Thank You page setting, you don't need to lift a finger. Your funnels have already been updated to the new look automatically.

Customization Option: Prefer your own design? You still have full control. You can bypass the default page entirely and redirect customers to a custom URL of your choice in your product settings.

We have added a powerful new layer of security to your transaction process.

You can now use Pre-Authorization to reserve funds on a customer's credit card without immediately charging them.

This feature allows you to place a temporary "hold" on a specific amount to validate the payment method and ensure funds are available.

You can then "capture" (finalize) the charge later, or void it if necessary.

Why use Pre-Authorization?

• Secure Your Trials: Validate a credit card during a Free or Low-Cost Trial sign-up. This ensures the card is legitimate and has funds available, significantly reducing churn from failed payments when the trial ends.

• Validate Funds: Ensure high-ticket service clients have the necessary funds available before you begin onboarding.

Once enabled, your customers will have a validation period of reserved funds on their cards, to ensure it is a working card that can be used for their rebills in the future.

We are thrilled to announce a major expansion to our Stripe integration designed to unlock global revenue and increase international conversion rates.

We are rolling out support for Local Payment Methods via Stripe! 💜

This update allows you to accept popular, trusted payment options preferred by customers in specific regions, removing friction and building immediate trust at checkout.

• Global Coverage is now included: Support for major local payment methods, including AfterPay, Klarna, iDEAL, Giropay, and more.

• Our checkout engine intelligently detects your customer's location and currency, automatically displaying the most relevant local payment options for them.

• Works natively within your existing Stripe connection, with your Stripe local payment options enabled in your Stripe account.

Customers are significantly more likely to complete a purchase when they see a payment method they recognize and trust. By offering local options, you reduce cart abandonment in non-US markets and open your business to a wider global audience.
