WHAT'S FRESH?
THESE ARE THE RECENT CHANGES TO SIMPLERO
Page Builder 2.0 can now be used for building Site pages!
We recently introduced a change to the submit button on the order form to use the payment processor label whenever the next step was offsite. Example: 'Pay with Quickpay'. We have now reverted this change and will use the word 'Continue' for all payment processors that require to continue with the order in a different page.
Now in the order form, if the account has the 'Show installments total' setting enabled, the total tax amount will also be displayed in the order form summary.
'other' options in radio buttons will now show the correct placeholder (if any).
We updated the price selector in the order form to say 'USD 0 today' and not 'Free trial' if a non-subscription price does not have an immediate charge.
Now the page to manage a new or abandoned purchase redirects to the new order form instead of the old one.
We fixed a bug in the order form of accounts with EU/UK VAT tax strategy that was preventing the VAT information from being displayed correctly in a taxes exempt product when a customer from EU/UK was placing an order.
Duplicating a node in Page Builder 2.0 would show up as the wrong event in the version history. This has been fixed.
Fixed a bug with webbook pages where using a Pricing table would list the pricing options as sections in the sidebar.
Fixed a bug in the order form that prevented the '[renewal information] + Cancel anytime' message from being displayed when 'Show installments total' setting was enabled and order did not have any future installments.
Video analytics will now be properly recorded for videos in Builder 2.0 pages.
Radio buttons in surveys and the new page builder that used the 'other' option didn't get their value saved properly. This has been fixed.
🎉 Introducing Hover Cards on the new community experience
See image:
You might've come across hover cards on other sites like Facebook, X, etc where you hover over a user's name or avatar and a card pops up with more information about that user. We're bringing this feature to the new community experience.
It'll only be shown if your site/group has the member directory enabled.
We updated the order form to not show the region field in the billing address fields when the country is Sweden
Simplified how you configure Default notification settings for a site.
We've also added an option to subscribe people to 'All posts' by default.
And removed a couple of rarely used options like ability to disable including body of a post/comment in e-mail notifications.
If you were using this previously, nothing changes for you. It will only affect new sites.
We fixed a bug in the order form that caused applied coupons to change the prices in the order bump selector. Discounts are now correctly shown only in the order summary.
Fixed "Mark paid" button on Affiliate Program -> Affiliates -> Payouts tab. Previously it was incorrectly registering a payout for just 1% of the owed amount.
Fixed a bug where some lowercase characters in the sidebar navigation menu on the new community experience would be a bit cut off
🔔 Notification widget is now live on the new community experience
.
Users will now able to see all their notifications in one place. By simply clicking the bell icon in the top right.
The bell icon will also show a red dot with a count of unread notifications.
They can filter notifications by a Community (Site), see which notifications are unread, as well as mark everything as read.
We now embed pdf file when it is the main content of a course lesson on the new site experience.
You can now easily bold and italicize broadcast preheaders.
We enchanced the animation of the support widget button/opener.
Product prices can now have more than one time period in which they are available. No need to create new prices for each time period.
We now show Quickpay/PayPal payment processor button even if they are the only payment processors available. We also updated the design of the notice telling the user that they will be redirected to the payment processor's website. Also, the submit button label now will say 'Pay with PayPal/Quickpay' whenever the payment processor is offsite.
Fixed a bug preventing creation of some payment processors.
Fixed error preventing updating custom availability directly on scheduling links.
Fixed the 'Transcription status: not transcribed' scope for lessons.
Fixed the link to the landing page in the new subscriber notification email.
We'll now remember whether a user prefers subtitles when playing a video and default to that on the new community experience!
We updated the checkboxes in the order form so the checkmark symbols are always visible regardless of the box color (which uses the Account brand color for buttons).
We've udpated the default marketing opt-in sub-label in the order form from 'No spam. You can always change your mind with a single click' to 'Unsubscribe any time.'
We were allowing to set 2 prices to replace each other, which was causing a server error 500. Now, when selecting a price to replace, we don't list prices that are replacing the price being edited.
We are now including a blank option for non-required drop-down custom fields. This prevents the user from being forced to choose a value (or getting the first value in the drop-down if they don't even do anything).
🎉 New course experience is here!
If you are using the new community experience, all your courses will automatically use this new experience.
You can take a quick look at how it all looks here.
It's already much better than what we had before. And we're not even done yet. We're working hard on improvements + new features for the new experience (Notifications, Better Mobile App, and a lot more).
Demo GIF:
We introduced a change that should improve load speeds in the order form, especially in cases where there are many prices replacing other prices.
Fixed a bug in the order form where adding a name field with 'Separate fields' presentation would cause some participants to have an 'undefined' name.
Fixed an issue with 'Scale rating' fields in Builder 2.0 forms which prevented them from being saved properly.
Fixed a bug in the order form that was showing a 'Including' empty message when the account has the 'Show installments total' option enabled, and a 'No tax' Tax strategy
Fixed a bug where the toggable future installments box in the order form would show squished in some screen sizes
We've made the 'Switch to the new experience' link available to everyone on your membership sites. Your members will be able to try out the new experience we're working on after clicking this link
We removed the punctuation at the end of the terms checkbox label, to make it consistent with the labels of the other checkboxes.
You can force enable the new site experience on a per-site basis. Just go to your site's 'Configure' tab in your admin dashboard, and find the 'Enable new site experience' switch under 'Advanced settings'
In the new order form, we now show an 'always visible' future payments breakdown with the installments info when the account has the 'Show total installments amount' option enabled. When the option is disabled, we continue showing the installments info inside a toggable section.
Fixed a bug in the order form complaining about required fields being empty, preventing the order from being submitted.
We've simplified the setting where you configure how a course is displayed to unauthorized users. Before we had 3 options - 'Full outline', 'Selected lessons', 'Hide completely'. We've removed the 'Full outline' option (because it was misleading and almost similar to 'Selected lessons') and made changes so there are now only 2 options ('Selected lessons' and 'Hide completely'). You don't need to do anything - everything should keep working the way it was.
We fixed a bug in the price selector in the new order form where prices starting with a free trial and then having future installments waiting for a specific date were not displaying the description correctly.
Fix redirect when rescheduling a paid event on a scheduling link to the event page, instead of the order form again.
Fixing chat messages indicator showing unread messages when there aren't any.
Now the company name and VAT number fields are shown stacked in the order form, instead of side by side.
We fixed a bug in the order form where auto-filling the billing address with the help of Google maps suggestions would not update the tax region properly, causing some extra transactions in the payment method in order to collect the correct tax amount.
