Your store footer earns you referrals

The FreshStore credit in your store footer now carries your own referral link by default, so a visitor who joins FreshStore through your store counts as your referral. The link is added however your footer credit is worded. It turns every store you run into a quiet, always on referral link with nothing to set up.

Improved Account

Monthly AI Chips tripled

Every plan now includes three times the monthly AI Chips for each store licence. That means more products, articles, images and AI edits each month before you need a top up, with nothing to change on your side. AI Chip packs were also refreshed to match.

New Account Stats

Store cards with traffic and earnings

Your stores list now shows each store as a card with a live screenshot, its status and the last 30 days of visitors, clicks and estimated earnings. Search and sort the list, or switch to a compact view when you run many stores, so you can see at a glance which stores earn and which need attention.

New Account

Guided Amazon and eBay affiliate setup

You can now connect Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools to your stores in a few clicks from your account. FreshStore verifies each store and submits its sitemap for you, then shows its indexed pages, clicks and impressions on the store's Search tab. Connecting Bing needs a custom domain.

New Account

Plan, cards and invoices in one place

Billing now has its own page in your account, under Account > Billing. It shows your plan and your next charge, lets you add and manage payment methods (card, PayPal or Google Pay) and lists every invoice to download. Plan changes and pausing your account are on the same page.

New Account

One ranked list of what to fix

You can now see what needs fixing across all your stores in one ranked list. The new Actions page in your account puts the most useful job first, such as an expired domain, a missing affiliate tag, a quiet store or low AI Chips. Each item has a button that takes you straight to the fix, and you can snooze anything you want to deal with later.

Read the guide
New Account Stores

Order an expert review of your store

You can now order an expert review of one of your stores. The review looks at your store and tells you what to fix first, in a clear structure you can work through. It arrives in your account, and you can download it as a PDF to keep or share.

New Account Stores

Store promotion requests get answers

When you ask us to feature your store, you now get an answer by email and on your own page in the account area. Stores we feature appear in a hand picked latest stores gallery on the FreshStore website, so good stores get seen.

Improved Account

Fairer plan changes

Plan changes are fairer. When you move to a smaller plan, the change now takes effect when your paid term ends, so you keep everything you paid for until then. If a payment is overdue, you can still move to a smaller plan without updating your card first. You also get a warning before you run out of store licences.
