Changelog

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.

You now get an email before the card saved on your FreshStore account expires. It gives you time to add a new card, so your renewal goes through and your stores keep running without a break. The email comes in good time, so there is no rush and no surprise on renewal day.

You now get reminder emails before a domain you registered with FreshStore expires. They arrive in stages as the date gets closer, and each one says plainly which domain is due and how to renew it, so a store does not stop working because a renewal slipped past.

You can now send visitors from countries without a local offer straight to the best matching Amazon product page, instead of an Amazon search page. Switch on Direct Product Link Fallback in your Amazon settings. Visitors land on a real product they can buy rather than a list of results.

You can now import AliExpress products with the Link Importer in your store admin. Paste AliExpress product links, product IDs or the short links the AliExpress app shares, and each one becomes a product in your store with its AliExpress offer. It works alongside the Amazon and eBay links the importer already handled.

If the card check on your free trial does not go through, you now get a reminder to update your card before the trial ends. It gives you time to fix the card details, so your stores carry on without a break when your plan starts.

You can now see what visitors search for in your store.

A new Searches report groups the terms people type into your store search, including searches that found no results. AI suggests a next step for each term, so you can fill the gaps your visitors are pointing out.

Your older articles now stay looking current.

When an article passes a set age, it gets a recent Updated date and is sent to search engines again, so they know to take another look. The original publish date stays as it was. The feature is on by default, so your existing articles benefit straight away.

Trial members now get their own dashboard. A banner shows how many trial days you have left, and a step by step launch checklist walks you from your first store to your first visitors. When your first store goes live, the dashboard celebrates it with you and points to the next step.

You can now turn any product page link into a product in your store.

Paste up to 20 links at a time into Product Importer, and each one becomes a product with a custom offer, AI written content and up to eight gallery images. Use it for merchants outside your connected networks, or to add a few products fast without searching.

You can now search your whole store admin for a setting.

Press Cmd K on a Mac or Control K on Windows and type what you need. Admin search finds individual settings, design options, texts, links and images. Pick a result and it opens the right tab and highlights the field, so you no longer need to remember where each setting lives.

You can now create a store with a step by step wizard.

If you are not sure what to build, AI suggests a niche and a list of brandable store names to choose from. Once your store is created, a getting started checklist on your dashboard shows the next steps to get it ready for visitors.

You can now switch plans yourself from your account. Move to a plan with more or fewer store licences, or change between monthly and yearly billing, in a few clicks. The change shows in your account straight away, with no need to contact support.

You can now create a custom offer with no price.

Shoppers see a "Click for price" label in place of a price, and you can edit that text to suit your store. Use it for products whose price changes often, or where you would rather send visitors to the merchant to see the current price.

You can now control how your homepage hero image is framed.

Choose a focal point from nine crop positions so the important part of the picture stays in view, pick how the image fits the space, set the section height, and choose a background colour for any space around the image. A live preview shows the result as soon as you upload, so you can adjust it before you save.

You can now show your own logo on a custom offer in place of the Recommended badge.

Add a logo to the offer and visitors see that brand instead of a general badge. Offer rows on product pages and in the cart also show each merchant's logo now, so visitors can tell at a glance where they are buying from.

You can now choose which types of image AI creates for your articles, so each article gets only the images you want.

Articles can also show random products from your store when none are related to the article. Readers then always see products they can click, instead of an empty space at the end of the article.

You now get a gentle warning when an uploaded image has the wrong shape for its spot, such as a logo, hero or product image.

The warning tells you before the image looks stretched or cropped on your store, so you can choose a better one. It never blocks the upload: you can still save the image if you want to use it.

You can now ask AI which Product Finder results suit your store.

Click Check Recommended and each result gets a Yes, Maybe or No score against your niche. Hover over a score to see the reason. Add the Yes products with confidence and skip the ones that would look out of place, instead of judging every result by hand.

You can now connect your own Amazon Associates API access to FreshStore. Once connected, your stores use your own access for Amazon product details. It is optional, and the guide walks you through adding it step by step in your account settings.

You can now write all the articles in an article category with one click.

Open an article category and click Create All Content. FreshStore then creates the full set of articles for that category in one run, instead of one article at a time. It is the quickest way to fill a new blog section, and you can still edit each article afterwards.

You can now connect your own tools and scripts to your store through its REST API.

Create and manage API keys in your store admin, then work with products, categories, brands, offers, articles, pages and settings, and read your store stats. Use it to automate routine edits, sync products from a spreadsheet, or build your own reports. The guide lists every endpoint.

You can now refresh your store with a Clear Cache button in the store admin header.

After you change products, design or text, click Clear Cache and visitors see the new version straight away, instead of waiting for the store to refresh on its own. It is the quickest way to check a change on your live store.

You can now have AI check that each product fits a category before Category Populator or Fill Categories adds it.

Turn on the check and the tool shows you what it proposes to add first, so you can review the list before the bulk run starts. Products that do not suit the category stay out, which keeps your categories focused on your niche.

You can now fill all your categories with products in one go with AI Fill Categories.

AI picks keywords for each category, finds matching products from your merchants, and checks that each product fits before adding it. It works through parent categories and subcategories together, so a new store goes from empty categories to full ones without adding products by hand.

You can now choose the fonts your store uses on a new Typography page in your store admin.

Pick the fonts that suit your niche, then set one body text size for the whole store, so long articles and product descriptions are easier to read. The settings apply across every page, so you do not need to change anything page by page.

You can now check any affiliate link with AffiliateLinkTest.com, a free tool from the FreshStore team.

Paste a link and the tool follows every redirect to the final page, then confirms your affiliate tag is still there at the end. Use it when you add a new merchant, or when clicks stop turning into commissions. It is a separate free site, so you can share it with anyone who runs affiliate links.

The guide How do I test my affiliate links? walks through it.

You can now recheck every offer that shows Out of Stock in one go.

The Offer Checker tool asks for fresh availability on all your out of stock offers straight away, instead of waiting for the next routine check. Offers that are back in stock return to your store as soon as the check finds them. Use it when a lot of offers show Out of Stock at once.

You can now lock articles and article categories. A locked item is skipped by AI updates, so content you have written or edited by hand stays exactly as you left it.

Unlock it again whenever you want AI to refresh it. It is useful for your best performing articles, where every word has been chosen with care.

Every store now publishes an AI Treasure Map, an llms.txt file that helps AI chat and search tools understand your store and cite it in their answers.

It is created automatically from your store's content. A new page in your store admin lets you customise it, so you can describe your store in your own words and point AI tools at your best pages.
