Automated Review Requests Are Now Available for SaaS Products

Freemius includes a marketing automation feature that sends emails after a product purchase and installation to collect reviews from your customers. This is a great way to build social proof based on genuine customer feedback.

For example, you can display these reviews in the Checkout to help boost your conversion rate.

Until now, this feature was available only for WordPress and App products. With today’s deployment, we are extending it to SaaS products as well. Seven days after a purchase, Freemius will automatically send the customer a request for a review.

The feature is enabled automatically for all SaaS products on our platform, so you do not need to configure anything to start collecting reviews. You can then use the Freemius API to fetch and display them on your website or pricing pages.

Developer Dashboard UI Enhancements and Bug Fixes

This week, we’re rolling out several UI enhancements and bug fixes in our Developer Dashboard.

Fixed HelpScout Integration UI

Freemius allows you to connect your HelpScout account to improve your support experience. Customer purchase and licensing data appears directly inside the HelpScout panel. In addition, you can connect HelpScout Docs, which Freemius will use within the built-in support form.

However, we noticed a small UI glitch that pushed some components of the integration form down the page. We have rolled out a fix and, in the process, refreshed the page design to make it more consistent with the rest of the application.

Improved Deployment UI

We noticed a minor alignment issue in the deployment UI within the Developer Dashboard.

We have fixed the issue, making the deployment interface cleaner and more consistent.

PayPal Flow Fix for WP Admin In-Dashboard Upgrades

The WP SDK in-dashboard upgrade flow is designed to let users upgrade without leaving the product experience. In some rare edge cases, however, the PayPal payment flow could fail during that process.

We identified the root cause and deployed a fix, making the PayPal upgrade path more reliable for users purchasing directly from your WordPress product’s admin.

Customize Email Logo Height From the Developer Dashboard

This week, we are rolling out a new feature in our Email Style Customization. This came in as a request from one of our makers, so we are excited to make it available. Up until now, makers could set a logo for their emails, but the logo size was capped at a maximum height of 50px.

With today’s deployment, you can now adjust the height of the email logo to a specific value of your choice. We hope this gives you more control over your email design and helps your emails better reflect your brand. If you have any feedback, please feel free to contact our support team from the Developer Dashboard.

Developer Dashboard Improvements for Feature Titles, Plan Filters, and Email Previews

We have deployed the following bug fixes and feature enhancements to our Developer Dashboard.

Accented Characters Are Now Supported for Features

As part of our ongoing effort to make Freemius better suited for local markets, we noticed that accented Latin characters, such as à and è, were not properly supported in feature titles. Features are a great way to promote your plans through pricing pages, and we understand that presenting them in the local language can be important for makers selling in their local markets.

With that in mind, we have deployed an update where feature titles now fully support any valid characters in any language.

Improved Plan Filtering UI in Store Pages

We noticed that the plan filter in several store pages had some UX issue. It shows plans from all products, which you can use for filtering. For example, on the Licenses page, you can choose to filter only by the Professional plan of a specific product. However, because multiple products can have the same plan name, it could become ambiguous.

The UI has now been improved to show the product icon, along with the product title on hover, making it easier to understand which product’s plan you are selecting.

Email Customization Preview Improvements

We noticed a few glitches and some room for UX improvements in the Email Customization preview UI. We did a round of optimizations to make the preview more reliable and improve the overall experience.

For example, the preview UI will now show up eagerly when you set a title. We also fixed a few Markdown syntax rendering issues where the preview did not reflect formatting that our system already supported.
