Checkout Localization Update: Faster RTL Loading, Arabic Beta, and Serbian Support

This week, we released the following improvements to our Checkout, aimed at improving localization.

RTL Improvements

RTL languages and page styling now load faster, and the layout shifts immediately when a buyer selects any RTL language.

We have also released Arabic language support in beta.

The translation currently targets Modern Standard Arabic. To use it, pass ar as the language value. We will roll it out in production mode as we receive more feedback from our makers. If you would like to help, please get in touch with our support team from the Developer Dashboard.

Serbian Language Now Available

Improved Email Previews, Faster Data Tables, And Better Documentation Links

This week, we focused on improving the DX around the Developer Dashboard.

Improved Email Customization UI

We noticed some issues in the preview UI of Email Customization, which sometimes confused our makers.

We pushed an update to make the preview section more dynamic and better reflect the type and configuration of the product.

Improved Data Table Loading Performance

Last month, we rolled out an update to improve the performance of several data tables. However, after some production testing, we found that there was still room for improvement.

Faster data table loading in the Developer Dashboard

This week, we’re rolling out another set of changes to improve loading performance even further. We hope this improves your experience while browsing subscriptions, payments, or licenses in the Developer Dashboard.

Better Documentation Links

Freemius documentation goes deep for both WordPress products and other software, such as SaaS and apps. We understand that the documentation can feel a bit overwhelming for first-time makers.

contextual documentation links in the Developer Dashboard

To make it easier for our makers to find the right information, we updated several documentation links in the Dashboard to pre-select the type of software you’re selling with Freemius. We hope this makes the documentation feel more relevant and helps you get to the right guidance faster.

Improved Trial Emails and Backend Fixes

We’ve rolled out the following small improvements and bug fixes in our backend.

Improved Trial Emails

We’ve reviewed all emails our system sends during the lifecycle of a trial and updated them to look consistent with the new style.

Updated trial email design

Freemius trials are a great marketing tool to boost sales by giving potential customers a risk-free way to experience your product before committing to a purchase. You can read more about it in our documentation.

API and Webhook Fixes

  • We noticed a minor regression where, in some cases, deleting a license from the Developer Dashboard resulted in an error. We identified the root cause and deployed a fix.
  • We identified a rare edge case where webhooks would not fire for some cart-related events. This has been fixed.

Customer Portal Modal Positioning Fixed in Embed Mode

A maker reported an issue with our Customer Portal where, in embed mode, some modal dialogs could go outside the viewport. This happened only when the portal was embedded inside a fixed-height container.

This has now been fixed, so modal dialogs should remain properly visible within the embedded portal experience.

Checkout Localization Update: RTL Out of Beta and Polish Now Available

This week, we are rolling out the following changes to the Freemius Checkout.

RTL Out of Beta

A few weeks ago, we rolled out RTL support for our Checkout in beta. After several rounds of feedback and iteration, we are glad to announce that RTL and Hebrew language support is now officially out of beta and production-ready.

Checkout RTL support out of beta

This means that if you load the Checkout with the language: 'auto' parameter, it will automatically load in Hebrew for customers visiting from Israel. You can read more about it in our documentation.

Polish Support

In addition, the Polish language is also ready for production and is available under the language code pl.

Faster Language Loading

We have also improved how languages are loaded in the Checkout. Customers should now see the selected language almost instantly, instead of waiting a few hundred milliseconds as before.

We hope these changes continue to bring Freemius closer to your local market.

Fixed Renewal Discount Visibility

Additionally, we noticed that for WordPress and Template products, the renewal discount was not always surfaced in the UI.

This has been fixed as well.
