Major Public Shop Update: Coupons, Stripe Checkout Integration & Custom Fields
We're excited to announce several enhancements to our public shop that will improve the customer experience. These updates have been seamlessly implemented, requiring no action on your part.
Key Improvements:
Gift Certificates and Coupons - The public shop now supports coupon codes and gift certificates.
Simplified Customer Authentication - Returning customers will enjoy a streamlined login process. When they enter their email address, they'll receive an instant verification code via email or SMS (if enabled), making the checkout process faster and more secure.
Upgraded Checkout Experience - We've integrated Stripe's hosted checkout page for the public shop. Now the signup form, portal shop, and custom forms all use the same checkout system. This unified approach provides a consistent and secure payment experience across our platform.
Customer Field Integration - You can now add custom questions to the checkout process for new customers, allowing you to gather specific information tailored to your business needs. Please note that existing/returning customers will not be prompted with these additional questions.
$0 Purchases - The public shop now supports zero dollar purchases.
New Customer User Creation - Similar to the "Almost finished page" in the main signup form, new customers will be prompted to create a user account after the payment is completed.
