What's new in FreshStore

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

New Stores

Reset a store and start again

You can now reset a store to clear its content and rebuild it from scratch. It is useful when you want to change direction in a niche or start over with a fresh set of products and articles, without deleting the store and setting up a new one.

New Stats

Add your own analytics tracking code

You can now add your own analytics tracking code to a store, such as Google Analytics, so your traffic data goes straight into the tool you already use. It works alongside the built-in store analytics, so you can keep both and compare them.

New Stores

Choose what your homepage features

You can now hand pick the products, articles and categories on your store homepage. Show your best sellers and strongest content first, and add a new featured articles section to draw readers in. If you do not pick, the automatic featured products are now better at choosing items worth showing.

New Products

Choose whether AI writes new products

You can now decide whether AI content is created automatically when a product is added to your store. Leave it on to have every new product written for you, or turn it off if you prefer to write product content yourself or add it later.

New Products Merchants

Control reviews, auctions and merchant buttons

You can now choose how product reviews and related eBay auctions appear on your product pages. You can also pick which merchant search buttons show when a product has no offers, so visitors still have a useful way to find the item.

New Articles Products

Embed live products in your articles

You can now place product boxes inside your articles. The boxes update automatically, so prices and offers stay current without editing the article again. Readers can go straight from your advice to the product, which turns more of your content into sales.

New Articles

Previous and next buttons on articles

Articles now have previous and next buttons, so readers can step through the other articles in the same category. It keeps readers moving through your content and helps them find more of what interests them, without going back to a list.

New Templates

Upload your own store icon

You can now upload your own favicon, the small icon that shows in browser tabs, in bookmarks and on phone home screens when someone saves your store. A custom icon makes your store look more professional and easier to spot among open tabs.

Your purchases now have their own pages

Your account now has pages for the extras you own. Premium members can find their image packs, training and VIP support in one place. Reseller licence holders get their toolkit and training. A new Other Purchases page lists the older Fresh Labs products you bought, so you can still get to them.

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 Stores

Contact form question stops spam bots

Your store contact form now asks visitors a simple question before it sends a message. People answer it in a second, but spam bots cannot, so you get far fewer junk messages and the real ones are easier to find.

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 Articles

Set hero, social and listing images for articles

You can now give each article three images: a hero image at the top of the article, a social image used when someone shares it, and a listing image for article lists. You can also set a default listing image, so articles without their own image still look good in lists.

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.

New Articles

Organise articles into categories

You can now group your articles into categories. Each article category has its own page, can have AI written content, and can be linked from your store menu. The All Articles page has a new design that shows your categories, so readers find articles on the topics they care about.

New Articles

Related articles linked automatically

Each article in your store now links to related articles automatically. Readers who finish one article see others on the same subject, so they stay longer and visit more pages. You do not need to add or update the links yourself.

New Articles

Schedule articles to publish later

You can now set an article to go live on a future date. Write several articles at once and let them publish over the following days or weeks, so your store keeps adding fresh content without you logging in. Articles now also show their published date.

New Stores

Get an email when visitors message you

You can now get an email whenever a visitor sends a message through your store's contact form, so you never miss a question from a potential customer. If you would rather check messages in the store admin, you can choose not to receive these alerts.

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 Articles

Share buttons on every article

Every article in your store now has social share icons. Readers who like what they read can share it on their favourite social networks in one click, which brings new visitors to your store for free. There is nothing to set up.

New Stores

Link your social pages from your store

You can now link your social media pages from your store. Icons for your profiles appear in the store header and footer, so visitors can follow you and come back later. Add the profile links you use and the icons show automatically.

Try FreshStore free before you pay

You can now try FreshStore free before you pay. A free trial gives new members full access to the platform, AI tools included, so you can build your first store, add products and write content before you choose a plan.

New Account

Buy extra AI Chip packs

You can now buy extra AI Chip packs when your monthly AI Chips run low. A new AI Chips page in your account shows the packs you have, how many chips are left and what you have used, so you can top up before a big writing session and keep your AI tools running.

AI Chips: one AI balance for all stores

Your AI use is now counted in AI Chips. Chips sit on your account and every store draws from the same balance, so you can spend more AI on the store that needs it most. Your plan tops up your chips each month, and you can see your balance in the store admin and in your account area.

New Stores Templates

Pick your homepage hero text colour

You can now choose the colour of the text in your homepage hero. Match it to your hero image and colour scheme so your headline stays easy to read, whether the image behind it is light or dark. It is a small change that makes the first thing visitors see look sharper.

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 Account

The new FreshStore opens to everyone

After four weeks of opening in limited waves, the new FreshStore is now open to everyone. The first members helped shape the platform with their feedback and their stores. Anyone can now join and build AI powered affiliate stores. Thank you to everyone who joined in those first weeks.

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.

New Stores

Add content above and below any page

You can now add your own content at the top and bottom of every page in your store, including brand and product pages. Use it for an introduction, a short buying guide or links to related articles. It is a simple way to make each page unique and more useful to visitors and search engines.
