Checkout UI improvements and bug fixes

This week, we deployed some minor UI improvements and bug fixes for our checkout.

Smarter back button

Recently, with Phase 2, we introduced a Back button for the standalone version of our checkout. This worked by checking the HTTP referrer or a specific URL parameter.

With today’s release, the Back button now defaults to the marketing URL set in your product’s configuration.

Set marketing page URL

If you haven’t already, please follow the directions in the screenshot above to set your marketing URL. Additionally, the cancel_url parameter still works as expected and will override any HTTP referrer or implicit marketing URL value.

UI glitch fix for payment method update

With Freemius, buyers can update their payment method anytime via the self-service Customer Portal. Additionally, we introduced a shortcut in the Developer Dashboard, allowing you to manually copy and send a payment method update link to buyers.

We noticed a minor UI glitch in the payment method update flow where the header was not aligned properly. This has now been fixed.

Improved payment PDF

Freemius payment PDF with long lines

We identified edge cases where long lines in the buyer’s or seller’s billing address could break the layout. This issue has been resolved in today’s release.
