We’ve made user-friendly updates to the FastSpring app’s left-hand navigation to improve clarity and ease of use.

• Storefronts has been renamed to Checkouts, and all related sub-navigation items have been updated accordingly:

  • Web Storefronts → Web Checkouts
  • Popup Storefronts → Popup Checkouts
  • Embedded Storefronts → Embedded Checkouts

• Products has been renamed to Catalog in the left-hand navigation menu.

These changes are implemented across the app to enhance your navigation experience without affecting existing data or functionality. We are actively updating all documentation to incorporate these changes throughout our resources.

Key updates include a decluttered checkout, improved mobile usability, and neutral styling to better integrate with sellers' websites.
