Changelog

What's new.

Ship notes and bug fixes. No marketing spin — just what changed.

  1. Improved

    Email templates on your plan

    It's now clearer which email template features are included in your plan. You can still turn individual emails on or off on every plan.

    • Template editing is greyed out with an upgrade link when your plan doesn't include it.
    • Fixed an issue where template edits could be saved on plans that don't use custom templates.
  2. Improved

    A clearer page when downloads are blocked

    When a download limit or other restriction stops a download, customers now see a clear explanation with buttons to contact you or return to your store.

    • Paid plans show your store's name with no ABC branding.
    • Preview the page your customers see from Settings › Downloads.
  3. New

    Limit how long files can be accessed

    Set how many days customers can access their files, for your whole store or for a single order. Access is counted from when the download email is sent, and resending the email starts a new access period.

  4. New

    Show downloads as buttons

    Files on the thank you and order status pages can now be shown as buttons instead of links. Turn on "Show files as buttons" for the ABC block in the checkout and customer accounts editor.

  5. New

    File display names and preview images

    Give each file a friendly name and a preview image. Your customers see them in their download email and on the thank you and order status pages. Set them on any file under "Shown to customers".

    • Display names replace the filename for customers. Downloaded files keep their original filename.
    • Preview images appear next to each file. Files without an image look the same as before.
  6. Fixed

    Settings errors now show

    Fixed an issue where settings that couldn't be saved failed without a message. Problem fields are now highlighted so you can fix them and save again.

  7. New

    Tag orders in Shopify

    ABC can now tag the orders it delivers files for, so you can filter them in Shopify or use them in Shopify Flow. Turn on "Tag orders in Shopify" in Settings.

    • Every order gets the "ABC Digital Downloads" tag, plus any custom tags you add.
    • Tags are added once the download links are ready, so they won't be on the order confirmation email.
  8. Improved

    Help on the product page

    Added a quick guide next to "Connected Files" and a link to the setup video, so connecting files to products is easier the first time.

  9. Fixed

    Dates display for every date format

    Fixed dates not showing correctly in the app for some date format settings.

    • Updated the thank you and order status blocks to Shopify's latest checkout version.
  10. Improved

    More secure store connection

    ABC now uses Shopify's latest expiring access tokens to connect to your store. No action needed.

  11. Improved

    Search orders by number

    Order search now finds orders by number whether or not you include the #.

  12. Improved

    Clearer handling of orders on hold

    Orders on hold in Shopify are now easier to spot and release more reliably.

    • Orders on hold show a banner on the order page explaining why the download email hasn't been sent.
    • The resend email button tells you when an order is on hold.
    • Fixed an issue where some orders stayed on hold after the hold was released in Shopify.
  13. Improved

    Stamped PDFs keep their file name

    PDFs with stamping turned on now download with their original file name.

  14. New

  15. New

    Added email template translations and ability to disable

    We have added the ability to disable any of the emails that are sent. Email templates can now also be translated to any language you like. By default this will use the customer's locale from Shopify, but you can override this on the order page.

  16. New

    Orders on hold now wait

    ABC now respects Shopify fulfillment holds — download links aren't emailed or fulfilled until the hold is released.
