Back Button Icon Improvement & Social Proof UI Bug Fix

Back Button Icon Improvement

When using the hosted version of Freemius Checkout, we render a back button at the top of the page to give buyers a sense of continuity with your website. For example, if your site is https://awesome-saas.com and you open Freemius Checkout from there, our Checkout will automatically display a button that says “Back to awesome-saas.com”.

Additionally, we also show an auto-detected favicon next to the back button, if one is available from your website.

Previously, we noticed that when our system failed to retrieve a favicon, a generic placeholder image was shown instead. This could cause confusion or even suspicion among buyers who didn’t recognize the placeholder image.

To address this, we’ve made some enhancements to the system. Now, a favicon will only be shown if we’re able to reliably fetch one from your website. If not, we simply omit the icon altogether – avoiding any misleading visuals.

To understand how the back button works and how to customize it, please refer to our documentation.

Social Proofing UI Bug Fix with Redirect Feature

We discovered a bug where the social proofing UI—such as the “Money-Back Guarantee” badge and reviews, were being hidden when the checkout redirected after a successful purchase.

This has now been fixed, ensuring buyers continue to see relevant trust signals even during post-purchase redirection.
