See you next month! In the meantime, we'll continue to share separate changelog entries for highlighted updates as they become available.

We fixed an issue where some product paths were unexpectedly converted to lowercase. This regression affected a small number of stores using mixed-case product paths for tracking, linking, or deep linking.

Paths will now retain their original casing as expected.

If your store was affected, previously lowercase-converted paths should now behave normally. No action is needed unless you made manual adjustments to account for the issue.

Sellers can now choose how payment methods are displayed in the embedded checkout. This update provides flexibility for various buyer flows and checkout field requirements.

Where to configure: FastSpring app > Checkouts > Embedded Checkouts > Settings > Checkout

Layout options:

Inline View Displays payment methods in a horizontal layout. This option supports all checkout fields, including:

• Address fields
• Company name
• Phone number
• Billing contact
• Gift purchases
• Generate quote

Stacked View Displays payment methods in a vertical layout. This option is optimized for mobile and streamlined checkouts with only basic customer details.

The FastSpring app Welcome dashboard now includes a toggle to try the new Home dashboard experience.

The Home dashboard gives you:

• A redesigned overview with quick access to orders, subscriptions, and account details
• Clear revenue trends with a Net Sales chart and 30-day performance cards
• Easier navigation to detailed dashboards like Revenue Overview and Subscription Overview
• At-a-glance account balance, payout information, and recent activity

Switch the toggle at the top of your current Welcome dashboard to preview the new Home dashboard.

We’d love your feedback: After you’ve tried the new experience, use the in-app feedback option to let us know what works well and what could be improved.

You can now control how payment methods are prioritized during checkout with the new Enable Payment Hierarchy setting.

To enable: Store Settings > Payments > Enable Payment Hierarchy

The setting includes two options:

• Pre-Select Apple Pay for all Apple Devices
  Automatically set Apple Pay as the default payment method for eligible customers.

• Order Geo-Based Payment Method
  Prioritize payment methods based on the customer’s location, so the most relevant option appears first.

FastSpring now supports immediate mid-cycle subscription changes as part of renewal invoicing workflows.

You can use this workflow when subscription changes should take effect right away. For example, you might increase the quantity partway through a billing cycle or switch to a different plan immediately.

FastSpring will automatically apply prorated credit for unused time on the original plan and calculate prorated charges for the remainder of the billing period on the new plan.

👉 Learn more about this workflow

You can now transfer up to 20 active subscriptions from a source account to a target account using the new /subscriptions/transferendpoint .

This endpoint is designed for account merge or cleanup workflows and can only be used to transfer subscriptions between accounts that belong to the same site or store.

Endpoint: POST /subscriptions/transfer
