This week, we’re rolling out a big update to our Email Customization feature.

So far, we have supported adding custom content to transactional emails, making it possible to include useful information such as onboarding instructions, access links, and more. However, the custom content section did not fully support RTL mode yet. With the release of RTL support in our Checkout, it made sense for our emails to follow the same flexibility.

Email customization RTL support in Freemius

With that in mind, today we are rolling out RTL support for Email Customization. Simply head to the Email Customization section, where you can now seamlessly enter RTL text and the system will automatically detect the text direction.

If you want to enter mixed text or force a specific direction, you can also explicitly set the Custom Text Direction option.

In addition, there is now an option to change the position of the custom section.

This is useful if you want to add fully localized custom instructions before the original email content.

We hope you find this feature useful. If you have any feedback or notice any issues, please feel free to reach out to us through support by logging in to the Developer Dashboard.

With Freemius, you can configure your product’s pricing in various currencies. This is useful whether you’re selling globally or targeting your local market.

We noticed a few edge case bugs in the Developer Dashboard, especially for plans configured only with non-USD pricing.

Freemius currency setup in plans

In the Bulk Pricing section, adding a new currency was failing silently if USD pricing was not set. This has been fixed.

Freemius non USD plans

The Plans page was not properly listing pricing information when USD pricing was not set. This has been fixed as well.

Please note that all of these bugs were only in the UI layer of the Developer Dashboard. Our backend systems and the Checkout continued to work correctly even when no USD pricing was configured, so no action is needed from your end.

This week, we are rolling out a major localization update for our Checkout. As your Merchant of Record, Freemius supports selling not only in international markets, but also in your buyers’ local markets. This is why our Checkout supports local languages and currencies out of the box.

With today’s deployment, we are opening our Checkout for RTL (right-to-left) languages.

Freemius Checkout in Hebrew Language (RTL)

Hebrew is the first RTL language we are releasing. It is currently available in beta while we gather feedback from our makers. We expect to move it to production mode very soon.

In the meantime, if you want to use it, simply add the language parameter with the value he.

Once the translation is finalized, it will automatically show up for buyers from Israel when you use language=auto in your Checkout configuration. You can learn more about it in our documentation.

We also fixed a Checkout bug that could affect products without USD pricing configured. In some cases, the Checkout could fail to load when an explicit currency parameter was not passed. This has now been fixed.

This week, we are rolling out a few bug fixes around the Settings page of a product.

Freemius Developer Dashboard Settings page for a product

  • Newly created products did not show the bearer token on the Settings page immediately. It would only appear after a full page refresh. This has been fixed.
  • We noticed that adding or deleting plans for a product could, in some edge case scenarios, break the settings form. We found the root cause and have deployed a fix.
