Hurry up then…. what is new?​
I have 9 major feature highlights for this version and roughly 65 total features, fixes and improvements.

FreshStore v10.1 Key New Features

  1. New Amazon API Integration
    This is the boring but important one.. Amazon have created a new v5 of their PAAPI (Product Advertising API).

    In simple terms, this is how your store talks to Amazon to get the product details, and we needed to update the code to do it.

    It was a big job, but it’s all done now, and all you need to do is make sure your Amazon API Keys and links are working (see the video).

  2. Custom Products!
    This is the big one!

    You can now add ANY kind of product to your store, using Custom Products.

    You can use this to add products from any online shop with an affiliate program (e.g. Etsy, Walmart)

    Or, you can use it to sell your own products and take payments directly (e.g. via PayPal).

    Check the video for the full details.

  3. Customer and Email Export
    The export feature for the emails you collect has now been improved to contain the signup date, IP address and more info.

    You can also sort the emails now by date.

  4. Related Products on eBay Pages
    On an eBay single product page, you can now add related products. These can be custom products, other eBay products or Amazon.

  5. Instagram Social Media Link
    There is now an icon and option to add Instagram to your store.

  6. Improved FreshAdmin search feature
    You can now search all places inside your FreshAdmin dashboard, and even search through your parameters and settings!

  7. eBay Products in RSS Feeds

    Your store RSS feeds now include eBay products.

  8. New Amazon Locales

    You can now build Amazon stores for Turkey and the United Arab Emirates (this last one is potentially a BIG market!)

  9. A better Google Analytics integration!

    The old way was tricky.. So we replaced it with a new, easy way to add Analytics reports to your store.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICES ⚠️​

As usual, if you are self hosted pretty please backup your store and database We don’t want you to lose all your hard work!

FreshStore members stores are automatically backed up. All you need to do is click “Upgrade” (or the “Upgrade All” button if you have a lot of stores and want to save time)

After upgrading you must check your API keys and links to make sure everything is working fine and the right Amazon Tag is being used for your links. See the video for help with this.

Note that the store licensing was turned back on a couple of versions back. Please check this announcement if you haven’t done already.

How do I get the new version?

For FreshStore members, simply login to your account and click “Upgrade” or “Upgrade All” next to your stores.

For self hosted members, you can download the zip file inside your account.
