WHAT'S FRESH?
THESE ARE THE RECENT CHANGES TO SIMPLERO
We've fixed the behavior of donations when used with coupon prices.
You can now order worksheets attached to a course lesson!
We will no longer update the name and phone number of your old contacts when syncing events from Zoom. However, if the contact doesn't exist in Simplero, we'll continue to use the details from Zoom to create them.
We've improved the behaviour of secret, conditional prices. You can add conditions on a secret price to prevent the sharing of the secret link from letting anyone use the special price. For example, you can make it so only subscribers to your list can use the secret price. If a non-subscriber gets the link, they will only be given the regular, public prices as options.
Fixed an error with the tickets widget on membership sites when third-party cookies are blocked by the browser.
Email templates and Landing page templates are now called Email designs and Opt-in form designs respectively and they can now be found in Settings. Also made it possible to add your own embedded opt-in form designs
Our Cookie Consent feature is off of the Test Track and ready for the real world. You can enable it from Account Settings, Privacy section.
You can now use personalizations in your order form's tracking code!
Plain, Boxy & Naked embedded landing page templates should look better on mobile now (there were some edge cases on mobile like very long button text overflowing, slightly incorrect widths which are now fixed)
We've updated our list of supported languages, including full support for German thanks to German With Nicole! If you'd like to help translate Simplero to your language, see this help article for details.
Duplicating a product with a trigger that started an automation was creating new automation every time. We have fixed it to be linked with the existing automation now.
Our cookie consent feature (which you can enable in the Test Track screen) now has an opt-in option. With this option, if the user is in a country with relevant cookie laws, we won't set cookies (other than those strictly necessary for the site to work) until the user grants consent.
Previously, the double opt-in option on lists would only ask for confirmation once per contact (if the contact subscribed to multiple lists, only the first would require confirmation). We've found that if this confirmation happened a long time ago, contacts would either forget that they'd confirmed or had changed their mind since. So now, for new subscriptions, we ask the contact again for confirmation if the last confirmation was more than 6 months ago. This helps ensure that you have an engaged audience on your lists, which helps your emails get delivered.
You can now change the Privacy Policy URL displayed on the Cookie Banner from Account Settings > Privacy Policy URL. To display the Cookie Consent Banner you can enable it from Test Track.
The Cookie Consent feature can now display in Danish and German. Did you know that you can help us translate Simplero into your language? See this article for details.
We've added a Badges feature for Rule the World plan subscribers. Badges lets you recognise site members for outstanding forum contributions, keeping them engaged and motivating them to be more active. Configure this feature on the Engagement tab under Membership Sites.
Show custom fields as selectable columns in Sales > Financials table
Change 'What's the problem?' in support widget to 'How can we help?' ... sounds more helpful, less problem focused.
Added Created At and Updated At columns to Lists table
Use Site internal name consistently in admin UI
The long awaited ability to have a list sign up form with text above it and an image to the right or left of it is here. Use the page editor to add an image to your form, change its position, vertical alignment and size.
We now add List-Unsubscribe headers to broadcast emails. (Oh, what's that?) This makes it easier for subscribers to unsubscribe if they choose and so improves email deliverability. We only support unsubscribe via http (and not mailto) so far.
We've working on cookie consent as required by regulations such as the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive. We've implemented an option to show a banner notifying users of the cookies we set. We're still working on this (including an option to not set cookies until the user accepts), so this first needs to be enabled under Account Settings, Test Track.
If you use the cold contacts feature and made newsletters, the newsletter schedule was getting a new Exclude section every time you added a newsletter. We've fixed that.
We've refreshed the interface a bit with changes mostly to the header. The one thing that's moved is Settings, which is now the gear icon in the top right that gives you direct access to all the settings pages.
Fixed oddly aligned checklists on mobile.
Add participant information in Sales > Financials
Using standard interpolations like {{ firstname }}
, {{ email }}
, etc on your product's custom thank you page URL is now possible!
Ireland reduced its VAT rate from 23% to 21% from September 1 2020 until March 1 2021. If you were using the reduced rate of 21% (which was our default), we've updated you to regular rate.
Membership levels will now stop offerings prices that were replaced by other prices as upgrade/downgrade options.
Filter bounced email deliveries by the error message we received.
Blog post will now respect the setting for whether notifications will include the full text of the post.
CAPTCHA's can now be completely disabled from the list settings
Corrected the names of the parishes of Bermuda.
If a subscription is bought as a gift to be delivered in the future, the subscription will now renew based on when the gift was delivered.
When processing purchases with PayPal, we now split out taxes from the full amount. This will make the total PayPal displays clearer to the purchaser and help with your accounting.
Duplicating a product now intelligently duplicates the contents of the 'Upselling' tab, too.
Columns about the first participant are now available to add to the Product > Purchases table.
Downloading CSV or Excel files with address custom fields? Now the address is split into its component parts instead of the whole thing being dumped in one column.
We now give a clearer message in the charge failure email if a subscription payment fails due to 3-D Secure Authentication.
On a subscription change between membership levels, if Stripe requires 3-D Secure Authentication from the purchaser, we will now properly prompt them to provide it.
When a purchaser re-enters their payment info after a subscription payment failure, the overdue payment will now work even if the credit card never allows future charges (e.g. due to 3-D Secure Authentication rules).
On an upsell, if Stripe requires 3-D Secure Authentication from the purchaser, we will now properly prompt them to provide it.
Closed products are no longer offered as upgrade/downgrade options in membership level groups.
Events supports Zoom Meetings! 🎉
Now you can see all your scheduled zoom meetings, track attendance, add triggers & more, even if you don't have a Zoom Webinars account. Check it out under Content > Events. If you've already connected your Zoom account, click 'Sync events from Zoom', authorize us again, and we'll handle the rest.
You can now add labels on events and delete basic events.
You can now use Liquid template filters in <a href> and <img src> in your emails.
We've eliminated a potential cause of 'lost steps' when editing an automation.
We've made our 'prevent downloads' logic smarter when a user has access to a site through multiple purchases.
We've set the default German VAT rate back to 19% (after being reduced to 16% in 2020). If you have sales in Germany, make sure you review your tax settings.
