New features, improvements, fixes and guides, newest first. Every entry has its own page and date.
You can now manage your XML sitemap from its own page. It shows how many items your sitemap holds, lets you rebuild it by hand after big changes, and lets you choose how products are listed. The sitemap now refreshes every 12 hours, so new pages reach search engines sooner.
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.
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.
You can now add your own HTML to your store layout. Use it to add tracking codes, verification tags, widgets or signup forms from other services, without waiting for a built-in feature. Paste the code into your store settings and it is added to your store pages for you.
You can now show your affiliate disclosure in more places. A disclosure now appears on the product info page, and you can also turn on a disclosure in the store header. The header disclosure is off by default. Clear disclosures help you meet the rules of affiliate programmes and keep your visitors' trust.
You can now write and format store content in a new editor. It has a floating toolbar, an HTML view for direct editing, and image uploads in every content area. It also adds text sizes, underline and highlight. Use it anywhere you edit larger blocks of content, such as articles, pages and product descriptions.
You can now add a custom ads.txt file to your store. Ad networks such as Google AdSense need this file before they serve ads, so you can earn from display ads alongside your affiliate links. Paste the ads.txt lines your ad network gives you, and your store serves the file at the right address.
Visitors who land on a page that does not exist now see products that match what they were looking for, instead of a dead end. It keeps visitors in your store and gives them a way to buy, even when they follow an old or mistyped link.
Every page in your store now carries a canonical link. It tells search engines which address is the main version of a page, so they do not treat similar pages as duplicates. This is handled automatically on all stores and helps your pages rank. There is nothing to set up.
Every store now builds its own XML sitemap automatically. It lists your store pages in the format search engines read, so new pages get found faster. Submit your sitemap address to Google Search Console once, and it keeps itself up to date as your store grows.
You can now switch off any merchant you do not want in a store. Offer Settings has a switch for each merchant, so you can drop one that does not suit your niche, or one you have no affiliate account with. Offers from merchants you switch off no longer show in that store.
The new FreshStore launches today: a rebuilt, AI powered platform for affiliate stores. Here is what members get from day one:
You can now give the AI article writer a topic and get back a complete, formatted article for your store. Each article comes with its own meta title and meta description, so it is ready for search engines as soon as it is written. Review it, make any edits you want, and publish it alongside your products. It is a fast way to add helpful content that brings visitors to your store.
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.
You can now see who visits your store without setting up any extra tools. The store admin shows your recent visitors, a chart of visits over time, your top pages and top countries, and the traffic each product gets. Use it to see which products and pages draw interest, and where to focus your next round of content.
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.
You can now start a store from a finished niche instead of a blank page. Pick a researched Instant Store from the library and you get your own editable copy, with products, categories, articles and design already in place. Change anything you like, add your own content and make it yours. If you prefer to build from scratch, you can still start with a blank store.
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.
Your store now adapts to each visitor's country. When someone visits, FreshStore shows them offers from their own country's storefront automatically, so they land on a marketplace where they can buy and you can earn. You do not need a separate store for each country. One store serves visitors wherever they are, and sales are not lost to the wrong marketplace.
You can now put each store on your own domain. Point the domain at FreshStore with a CNAME record or by changing your nameservers, whichever suits you. If you do not want to buy a domain yet, pick a free vanity domain when you create a new store and launch straight away.
