Changelog

Welcome to the changelog section of Freemius, here you’ll find our weekly technical update notes. You can subscribe to all posts via newsletter or follow us on Twitter to stay updated.

We identified a regression in last week’s email style update where the footer was mistakenly pushed inside the main email content area. This unintentionally made the “Sent by Freemius” line more prominent. When sending emails to customers on your behalf, our goal is to give better visibility to your product.

Email footer

With that in mind, we have deployed a fix as shown in the screenshot above. We also ensured the footer renders nicely in dark mode for email clients like Gmail.

With the evolution of AI, our software industry has taken a huge leap. Language and technical complexity are no longer barriers to creating software. Anyone with a product idea can now build applications and SaaS products with platforms like Lovable, Bolt, etc.

Once such software is created, there’s often value in sharing it with others—and eventually monetizing it. At Freemius, we understand this can be challenging for non-technical makers.

With that in mind, and to make it super easy for everyone to integrate Freemius Checkout and monetization, we’ve released a guide for a full end-to-end integration of Freemius with Lovable.

Lovable Integration Guide with Freemius

It all happens with a single prompt:

Implement the Freemius integration based on the knowledgebase content.

The outcome is as impressive as this:

  • Integrated Pricing Page and Checkout: Your users will see the pricing you’ve configured in Freemius and will be able to purchase your product through the Freemius Checkout.
  • Gated Premium Features: Easily gate premium features behind a paywall, and only allow access to users who have purchased your product.
    Paywall UI in Lovable App
  • Integrated Accounts Page: Show active subscriptions and payments right within your app. Also link to the Freemius Customer Portal for advanced account management.

Freemius supports growth pricing or high-volume rates where the more you earn, the more you save. When your monthly gross sales exceed $50,000, the revenue share drops progressively, going as low as 0.5%. You can read more about it in our docs here.

This discount is applied automatically during the monthly payout. With today’s deployment, we are introducing a clearer UI in both the reverse invoice and the payout email so you can easily see the exact volume discount applied to your earnings.

Reverse Invoice

As you can see, the reverse invoice will now prominently display the volume discount applied for the payout.

Payout email showing volume discount

Similarly, your payout emails will also show the volume discount you received for the month, making it easier to reconcile your earnings at a glance.

This week we are rolling out several polishing improvements to our email system. These changes affect most of the emails sent by our system and include a number of small fixes.

Freemius email example

The most notable update is the improved layout and overall visual consistency.

Email in Light Mode

In addition, we have fixed a few UI glitches that appeared in certain dark mode email clients.

Email in dark mode

Overall, our emails are now more compliant and better optimized for compatibility across a wide range of email clients.

We have introduced a new API endpoint to help makers easily and securely download invoices for users. The new endpoint is:

/products/{product_id}/users/{user_id}/payments/{payment_id}/invoice.pdf

Detailed documentation can be found here.

Download invoice from Freemius API from a user's scope

 

This is especially useful if you’re implementing the Customer Portal inside your application (for example using the JS SDK). The endpoint validates that the payment belongs to the specified user before delivering the invoice, adding an extra layer of safety in user-facing integrations. For these use cases, we recommend using this new endpoint over the more direct one.
