What's new in FreshStore

New features, improvements, fixes and guides, newest first. Every entry has its own page and date.

New Products

Choose how many product images show

You can now set how many images appear on the product info page. Show more images when visitors need to see a product from every angle, or fewer to keep the page clean and quick to load. Pick the number that suits your niche.

New Products

Write all product content in one click

You can now generate every piece of AI content for a product with one click, instead of writing each field one by one. While the AI works, editing is locked, so nothing you type is lost or overwritten. It is the fastest way to give a new product a full set of titles, descriptions and meta.

New Products Articles

Lock products so AI keeps your edits

You can now lock a product to protect your own changes. When a product is locked, automatic AI updates skip it, so the titles and descriptions you edited by hand stay exactly as you wrote them. Unlock it any time you want AI to refresh the content again.

Improved Products Merchants

Search offers by ID on any merchant

Offer search now recognises offer IDs from every merchant, not only Amazon ASINs. Paste the ID of a product you already know and FreshStore finds the offer directly. Walmart searches are also more precise, so you see the product you meant.

Improved Products

Add products to several categories at once

The product list in the store admin can now add many products to several categories in one go, which saves time when you organise a growing store. The list also shows each product's best offer price, so you can spot products without a good offer at a glance.

Improved Products

Brand names now show in product listings

Product listing boxes in your store now show the brand of each product. Visitors can see at a glance who makes an item while they browse a category, which helps them compare products and quickly find the brands they know and trust.

New Products Merchants

Refresh eBay auctions from the product page

You can now update the related eBay auctions for a product straight from its edit page. Auctions end quickly, so a refresh brings in current listings whenever you want them, without waiting for the next automatic update. Use it after you edit a product to see fresh results at once.

New Products Merchants

Find Amazon products by ASIN

You can now search for offers by Amazon ASIN. Paste the ASIN of a product you already know into offer search, and FreshStore finds it directly instead of making you search by keywords and scroll through results. It is the quickest way to add a specific product to your store.

New Products

Choose to hide estimated prices

You can now choose not to show an estimated price when a product has no offer in the visitor's country. Some members prefer to show only live prices from a merchant, so visitors never see a price that might change when they click through. Turn the setting on and estimated prices are hidden in your store.

New Products

Import categories and products from CSV

You can now build a store from a spreadsheet. The new Importer page reads a CSV file and creates the categories and products in your store for you. It is the fastest way to bring in a product list you already have, or to set up a large store in one go.

Product feeds in a new Traffic section

You can now find your store's feeds in a new Traffic section. Each store has RSS feeds plus a product feed that lists your products. Use the feeds to share new content on social media and other sites automatically, or to connect your store with tools that read RSS.

Visitors can search your products

Your store now has a product search. Visitors type what they want and get a results page with matching products, so they can find an item quickly without browsing through categories. It works on every store automatically, with nothing to set up.

New Products

AI writes your product and brand content

You can now let AI write the content for your products and brands. It writes product titles, subtitles, highlights, descriptions and meta tags, plus brand pages, and uses your store niche to set the tone so everything fits together. If you do not like a field, rewrite it with AI or edit it yourself. Your store gets unique, readable content without hours of writing.

Describe a niche and AI builds your store

You can now build a complete store by describing your niche. Tell the store wizard what your store is about and give it a name, and AI does the rest: it creates your categories from a list, fills them with products, adds brands and writes articles. You get a working store in minutes, ready for you to review and make your own.

Offers matched across merchants and countries

You can now show matching offers for the same product from several merchants and countries. FreshStore finds exact matches for each product, so visitors can compare and buy from the merchant that suits them. Set your affiliate IDs once in your account and every store uses them, so you never have to enter them store by store.
