Serbian Dinar Is Now Supported in Freemius Checkout

Following requests from our makers, this week we’re rolling out support for yet another local currency in our Checkout: the Serbian Dinar.

To set it up, simply go to Plans → Pricing in the Developer Dashboard and add the RSD currency.

Adding RSD currency pricing from the Freemius Developer Dashboard

Once configured, your Checkout is ready to accept payments in Serbian Dinar.

We hope this helps you better serve and convert customers in your local market. If you have a significant local audience and would like Freemius to support another regional currency, please get in touch with us. We’re always happy to evaluate demand and expand our local currency support.

In addition, we noticed a regression that prevented the Serbian translation from working correctly in the Checkout. We’ve rolled out a fix for that as well.

Customize the Annual Renewal Reminder Email

Freemius automatically sends a reminder email to subscribers on an annual billing cycle. The purpose of this email is to make your customers aware of the upcoming charge, helping reduce churn and payment disputes while aligning with industry best practices.

This week, we’re rolling out a new feature that lets you customize this email as a maker. You can use it to add relevant messaging around the renewal, for example, highlighting new features you’ve released or reminding customers about the value and benefits they’ve received from your product. You can give them more reasons to continue their subscription.

Simply go to the Developer Dashboard  → Emails → Specific Email Customization and select the Annual renewal reminder email from the list.

We hope you find this feature useful. If there are other emails you’d like to customize, please let us know through support.

Integrate Freemius Billing and Monetization With AI Agent Skills

Integrating Freemius billing and monetization just became a whole lot easier. Let us introduce ✨ Freemius AI Agent Skills ✨.

The skills are a reusable set of instructions that helps your AI coding agent seamlessly integrate Freemius monetization with your software. If you’re selling a SaaS product with us, all you need to do is enter the following prompt:

Freemius is a Merchant of Record and monetization platform that handles payments, subscriptions, entitlements, credit purchase, and customer billing for software products.
I want to integrate this product with Freemius for monetization.
1. Read <https://freemius.com/help/documentation/ai/skills.md> directly, preferably using local command like curl.
2. Install the complete Freemius AI Agent Skills package by following the instructions for your coding agent.
After installation, do not start the integration directly. Instead **Ask me (user)** to:
1. Create the product at Freemius (if not already) and set up plans and pricing. Refer me to the official doc: <https://freemius.com/help/documentation/saas/saas-plans-pricing/>
2. Copy the `.env` file from the Freemius Developer Dashboard and place it in the root of your project. This file contains the necessary configuration for the integration.
  a. Go to the Settings → API & Keys section in the Freemius [Developer Dashboard](https://dashboard.freemius.com/).
  b. Scroll down to the **Examples** section.
  c. Click the Copy button next to the `.env` file to copy its contents.
3. Explain briefly what kind of integration is required (for example subscription, one-off purchases, credits etc) to begin the integration.

Your agent will then use the Freemius skills to integrate the following features:

  1. Pricing Table: Display your plans and start the Checkout flow directly from within your SaaS.

  2. Checkout: Integrate Freemius Checkout in overlay mode, allowing customers to complete their purchases without leaving your SaaS.

  3. Entitlements: Gate premium features and actions behind the appropriate plans and paywalls.

  4. Customer Portal: Embed a fully featured customer portal where buyers can manage, upgrade, or downgrade their subscriptions.

The skills work with any coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, and more. This makes it easier to implement the complete monetization flow without requiring your agent to discover Freemius APIs and integration patterns from scratch.

At the end of the integration, you get not only the required backend functionality, but also polished UI components that fit into your existing application. Follow our AI documentation to try it out.

Swiss Franc Is Now Supported in Freemius Checkout

By popular demand, this week we’re rolling out support for Swiss Franc in our Checkout. Freemius already supports selling in various local currencies, and this addition will help makers offer a more localized purchasing experience to customers in Switzerland.

To enable it, simply go to Developer Dashboard → Plans and add the currency from the UI.

Once added, Swiss Franc will become available in the Checkout.

Disable Customer-Facing License Keys for App Products

Freemius provides seamless license activation for Apps. Makers selling downloadable applications can delegate license activation to the Freemius API. After a purchase, Freemius automatically sends the license key to the customer, who can then activate the product by entering it inside the application.

However, we understand that some makers prefer to manage license activation in-house. In such cases, license keys generated and shared by Freemius may be unnecessary and could confuse customers.

To address this, we have introduced a new option in the Developer Dashboard that lets you hide license keys from your customers. From your product’s dashboard, go to Settings → License Keys and disable the Show license keys to customers switch.

Developer Dashboard setting for hiding license keys from customers

Once disabled, Freemius will no longer send license keys to your customers through email or expose them in the Customer Portal.

You can then use events and webhooks to implement your own licensing automation. We recommend listening for license.created, license.extended, and license.expired, and other related events, which Freemius fires at the relevant stages of the license lifecycle.
