We noticed an edge-case bug in our Checkout where, if a pricing configuration was incomplete or invalid, it could appear incorrectly in the license dropdown during a license renewal.
We have identified and fixed the bug. As part of the fix, we also tested various license renewal scenarios to make sure the Checkout handles different pricing configurations correctly.

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.
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.

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.

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:
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.
