Changelog

If you sell consulting, coaching, or any service that requires tracking "usage," this feature is for you.

With Add-On Credits, you can now sell pre-paid credits that your customers can consume over time. Whether it’s selling a "5-Hour Coaching Block" or a "Premium Setup Package," managing the balance is now automated and seamless.

• Sell Credits: Offer one-time purchases that add specific credit value to the customer’s account.

• Track & Manage: View customer balances and manually adjust credits based on usage.

• Auto Top-Up: Allow customers to automatically top up their credits once they reach the minimum credit limit.

Customer Visibility: Your customers can view their available credit balance directly inside your own app.

First impressions are important, but the final touch is what leaves a lasting impact.

We have completely redesigned the Default Thank You Page to give your customers a polished, professional, and conversion-ready post-purchase experience.

What’s New:

• Modern UI: A cleaner, updated look that aligns with current design standards and builds brand trust.

• Enhanced Order Summary: As seen in the new design, customer, billing, and shipping details are now organized into a clear, easy-to-read hierarchy.

• Actionable Access: We’ve improved the visibility of post-purchase actions. Customers can now easily find buttons to Download Invoices, Access Purchases, and retrieve License Keys right from the summary card.

• Automatic Upgrade: If you are currently using the "Default" Thank You page setting, you don't need to lift a finger. Your funnels have already been updated to the new look automatically.

Customization Option: Prefer your own design? You still have full control. You can bypass the default page entirely and redirect customers to a custom URL of your choice in your product settings.

We have added a powerful new layer of security to your transaction process.

You can now use Pre-Authorization to reserve funds on a customer's credit card without immediately charging them.

This feature allows you to place a temporary "hold" on a specific amount to validate the payment method and ensure funds are available.

You can then "capture" (finalize) the charge later, or void it if necessary.

Why use Pre-Authorization?

• Secure Your Trials: Validate a credit card during a Free or Low-Cost Trial sign-up. This ensures the card is legitimate and has funds available, significantly reducing churn from failed payments when the trial ends.

• Validate Funds: Ensure high-ticket service clients have the necessary funds available before you begin onboarding.

Once enabled, your customers will have a validation period of reserved funds on their cards, to ensure it is a working card that can be used for their rebills in the future.

We are thrilled to announce a major expansion to our Stripe integration designed to unlock global revenue and increase international conversion rates.

We are rolling out support for Local Payment Methods via Stripe! 💜

This update allows you to accept popular, trusted payment options preferred by customers in specific regions, removing friction and building immediate trust at checkout.

• Global Coverage is now included: Support for major local payment methods, including AfterPay, Klarna, iDEAL, Giropay, and more.

• Our checkout engine intelligently detects your customer's location and currency, automatically displaying the most relevant local payment options for them.

• Works natively within your existing Stripe connection, with your Stripe local payment options enabled in your Stripe account.

Customers are significantly more likely to complete a purchase when they see a payment method they recognize and trust. By offering local options, you reduce cart abandonment in non-US markets and open your business to a wider global audience.

Block Same IP

You can now prevent multiple purchases of your main product from the same IP address or range. This feature is perfect for protecting against a single user making repeated purchases, whether for fraud or to circumvent your terms of service. You have full control to define both the scope and duration of the block.

• Define the Scope: Choose to block the exact IP address, or cast a wider net by blocking the entire Class C, Class B, or Class A subnet.

• Define the Duration: Set the block to be permanent or temporary. For temporary blocks, you can specify a duration in minutes. The block will last until the original purchase is reversed if you leave the duration empty.

Require Company-Only Emails

For B2B vendors, this is a game-changer. You can now enable a powerful lead-filtering tool that blocks signups from free email services (like Gmail or Yahoo) and requires a valid company email address. This feature helps you:

• Reduce Spam: Eliminate unqualified leads and fraudulent signups.

• Improve Lead Quality: Ensure you're engaging with representatives from real businesses.

• Boost Engagement: Focus your marketing efforts on high-quality B2B prospects.

You'll find these new settings under the Campaigns tab in your PayKickstart account. We're committed to giving you the tools to secure your business and maximize your success!

Block Failed Attempts

Protect your business from costly card testing abuse and fraudulent activities. You can now automatically block users after a set number of failed payment attempts, stopping bad actors before they can cause harm.

• Block by Email or IP: Choose to block suspicious users by their email address or IP address to prevent further attempts.

• Set Custom Thresholds: You have full control to define the number of failed attempts (e.g., 3 failures) and the time period (e.g., within 15 minutes) that will trigger a block.

• Flexible Block Duration: Configure the block to be permanent or set a temporary duration for up to 24 hours.
