What's new

Crochetify now has one minimum return policy for orders delivered in the United States. Standard physical items can be returned when the buyer contacts you within 14 days of delivery.

The buyer pays return shipping when they change their mind. You pay when an item arrives damaged, defective, incorrect, or not as described. There are no restocking fees.

Custom or personalized items and delivered digital patterns are final sale unless something is wrong. You can offer more flexible terms under Settings > Store details.

If you sell to other countries, or to other states, you can now have the right tax worked out for each order instead of setting one rate yourself.

Turn it on under Settings > Taxes, then add the places you're registered to collect tax. It stays off until you switch it on, and Stripe charges 0.5% of the orders it calculates tax on.

Registering and filing your returns is still yours to do. We add the tax at checkout and keep a record of what you collected.

A rate you type in now applies only to orders going to your own country. Before, it was added to every order, including ones going abroad where you don't owe it.

Buyer reviews now require the private link in the order or review request email. An email address by itself no longer counts as proof of purchase.

Choose square or 4:5 portrait photos for every product card across your shop.

Find the setting under Customize > Product cards. It changes the crop, not your original photos.

Gallery now asks before discarding uploads, category moves, removals, or reordering from your last save.

If you discard them, you can restore the draft on the same device for 48 hours. Crochetify also waits for every photo in an upload batch before Save or Discard can run.

Shop by category now puts each collection name and link over its photo, so the image fills the card instead of stopping above a separate label box.

Wide screens show four categories in a row. Phones keep one clear card per row.

International shoppers now see price estimates in their local currency while they browse your shop. They can switch the display currency at any time.

Checkout and receipts stay in the currency you set under Store details, so each order keeps one exact amount and currency.

Split and photo collage heroes now resize their headings to the space beside the photos, so the words stay balanced when a browser window gets narrower.

When the hero stacks on a smaller screen, its heading, search, and buttons line up in the center above the photos.

Your scrolling banner now leaves a clear gap before the homepage hero on every theme, including shops styled without a theme.

Gallery photo controls now stay in reach on a phone, so you can move or remove photos without switching to a computer.

Swipe anywhere on the photo grid to scroll. Reordering starts from the drag handle, which keeps a normal swipe from moving a photo by mistake.

Removed photos can be brought back with Undo if you change your mind.

Photo collage now lets you choose small, medium, or large photos, then pick one feature photo or give every photo the same space.

You can add a product search bar to the collage, color one word or short phrase in your heading, and choose the size and shape of your hero buttons.

Branding also has a primary text color for the rest of your shop. Crochetify keeps it readable on your page background.

When your homepage hero uses Inset card edges, Customize now names the page behind the card and the surface inside it separately. You can see the current page background, jump straight to edit it, then choose the card's own gradient, solid color, or page background.

Newsletter fine print now gets a solid surface when you use a pattern behind the signup section, so small text stays clear without covering the rest of the pattern.

Customize now keeps your saved changes for 48 hours. Open History to see when each version was saved and which parts of your shop changed.

Restore any version with one click. The version you had before the restore stays in the list, so you can switch back if you change your mind.

You can now save four supporting colors alongside your primary and secondary colors under Customize, then Branding.

They show up ready to pick across your homepage sections, hero, backgrounds, header, footer, Link in bio, and Canvas. Pick a color once, then reuse it without pasting the hex again.

Primary and secondary still shape your automatic theme. The saved colors give you more room without changing the theme you already have.

Product names imported from Etsy used to stop after 120 characters, cutting some titles off mid-sentence. Imports now keep Etsy's full 140-character title, and long names wrap on the product page.

The product editor shows the limit as you type, so you know how much room is left before you save.

A section's background used to be one of three choices tied to your brand colors, so a homepage could only alternate between the same tint and white. Now every section takes a color you pick: white at the top, blush behind your reviews, sage behind your highlights, butter behind the banner.

It sits under Section style in Customize, next to the three choices you already had. The text, cards, and borders inside that section adjust to whatever you choose, so a dark color stays readable.

Three more things landed with it:

• Your hero can sit as a rounded card with your page background showing around it, under Hero edges.
• Your logo can show above the hero heading, not just in the header.
• Featured items lets you show 4, 8, or 12 products, so you don't get a row of four with two stragglers underneath.

Shop by category can also put the name over the photo instead of under it, letting the picture fill the card.

On the collage hero, the photo frames used to change shape as the browser window changed size, so a photo that looked right on one screen looked stretched on another. The frames now hold their shape at every width, and the group scales instead of squashing.

Nothing to redo. Your photos are where you put them, and they crop the same way on a phone as on a laptop.

A customer leaving a review, on your product page or from the review email, can now attach up to four photos of what they got.

The photos wait for your approval with the rest of the review. In Reviews you can drop any of them, or add your own, before you publish it.

Section borders in Customize used to come in one fixed color. Now, once you give a section a top or bottom border, a Border color picker appears under it with your shop's colors ready to pick. Leave it on Theme color and nothing changes.

Background patterns stop getting cut off, too. Dots and grid now fit whole across a section, so the last row isn't sliced in half where the section ends, and scalloped edging never ends on half a bump.

A custom order request is a conversation, and nothing on that page said how it turns into money. Now it walks you through it: agree on the piece by email, list it in your shop at the price you settled on with one in stock, and send the buyer the link. They check out like any other shopper, and it lands in Orders with their address and a receipt.

Each request carries buttons for those steps:

• Reply by email opens your mail app addressed to them, with the subject and greeting written.
• List the piece takes you straight to a new product, on requests you haven't finished with yet.

There's an answer for local pickup too: add a free Local pickup shipping rate on the listing so they aren't charged postage, then mark the order fulfilled when they collect it.

On Customize, under Typography, the ready-made pairings sat three to a row in a narrow panel, so the longer names were cut off. "Bold statement" showed as "Bold statem..." and "Clean & minimal" as "Clean & min...".

They now sit two to a row. Every name reads in full, and the letter sample of each pairing is bigger to judge the typeface by.

There's a new hero layout: Photo collage. Instead of one photo at the top of your shop, it shows up to three beside your heading, so the first thing a shopper sees is a spread of your work.

Pick it in Customize, under Homepage hero, then add your photos. It works with any theme.

• One or two photos work too - the group rearranges itself.
• Already have a hero photo? It becomes your first one, so you start with something.

The scrolling banner has a thin line along its top and bottom. Some shops want it, some don't, and until now there was no way to say so.

There's a new Edge lines switch next to the banner color in Customize, under Homepage hero. Turn it off and the banner sits flush against your header. Your shop keeps the lines until you change it.

Every homepage section now takes a subheading, so you can put a line under the heading: "Any kind of plushie you can imagine" under Shop by category, say.

Featured items, Shop by category, About, and Feature highlights each have a Subheading box in Customize. Reviews and the newsletter signup already had one. Leave it blank and nothing shows.

The scrolling banner used to need one of our themes. If you style your shop yourself, you can now turn it on too - it's in Customize, under Homepage hero.

Write your own short phrases and pick the ribbon color, or leave it blank for a soft tint of your brand color. Your shop looks the same until you switch it on.

Shoppers using Chrome's page translation can now pay or place a free order without checkout hitting an error.

The pages and emails your buyers see after checkout now count what they bought. Someone who buys one pattern reads "Your pattern is ready to download" instead of the plural.

A few other fixes to that flow:

• Buyers are told to sign in with their checkout email to find an order again, instead of being told to bookmark the page.
• A digital order no longer shows an order status button. There's nothing to track once the files are there, and the status page just repeated the confirmation.
• On phones, a note explains how to save a pattern to Files when it opens in the browser instead of downloading.

Open an order and choose Email receipt to send that order's confirmation email. Send it to your buyer if they lost the original, or send yourself a copy to see the email your buyers get, with the order's own items and totals.

Handy when a test email isn't enough: tests use a sample order, this uses one of yours.

A shopper's saved list on their Crochetify account now includes the pieces they hearted on your shop's own website, not just marketplace favorites. Hearts tapped before signing in join the list the next time they open your shop signed in.

Your shop's own Saved page works as before.

When an order includes a digital pattern, the confirmation email now carries the download button itself - buyers don't have to wait for a second email or hunt for the link. Digital items are labeled in the receipt, and physical orders keep showing the shipping address.

The live preview under Marketing → Email settings now shows what really sends: flip it between a physical and a digital sample order, and test emails match whichever one you're looking at.

When a shopper taps the heart on one of your pieces, it now lands somewhere they can find again: your shop's own Saved page. It lists everything they saved from your shop, newest first.

Shoppers get there from the heart in your shop's header, or from the message that appears right after they save.

Two new emails work for you after every sale.

• The order confirmation is now branded as your shop, and you can add to it: a thank-you in your own words, a discount code for next time, or a button to a free pattern. Your blocks sit below the order details, so the receipt still reads as a receipt. Set it up under Marketing → Email settings.
• A few days after an order arrives, the buyer gets one email asking what they think, with tappable stars that open a review form. No typing their email, no hunting for the product page. Reviews still wait for your approval before they show.

Both are on for every shop. You can send yourself a test of each from Email settings, and turn review requests off there too.

When a few shoppers have the same piece in their cart, your product page already said so. Now the rest of your shop says it too: your home page, your shop page, your collections, and the suggestions under a product.

The rules have not changed. A number only shows once enough shoppers are behind it, and you can turn it off in Marketing settings.

A shopper can heart a piece in your shop to come back to it later.

The heart used to take its color from your shop's colors, so in some shops a saved piece turned gray and didn't look saved at all. It's red now, in every shop.

The message after saving only said "Saved". It now says the piece went to their saved list, and links them to it when they're signed in.

"Can I sell things I make from someone else's pattern?" stops more makers than any other question. We wrote a guide that lays out what the law says: where it's settled, where it's gray, and what changes now that your shop is its own website instead of a marketplace listing. It gives you the facts; what to stock is your call as a business owner.

Find it under Guides on the Crochetify site, or at crochetify.app/guides/crochet-copyright-rules. If a crochet friend has been holding off because of this worry, send it their way.

On the Pastel Pop theme, a soft grape glow sat behind your hero photo. Behind a logo on a white background it spilled over the edges and looked like a purple smudge you had picked.

It's gone. Your photo now sits on the white card with a light shadow under it, and nothing else.

When someone typed their email into your signup form a second time, it thanked them again and pointed them to a welcome email that was never coming.

Now it tells them they're already subscribed. Someone who unsubscribed before is told their address stayed off the list, so they know to ask you instead of waiting on emails that won't arrive.

If your announcement bar rotates through a few messages, a short one could sit high in the bar with a gap underneath it. It showed on phones, where a long message wraps onto two or three lines and a short one still fits on one.

Every message now sits in the middle of the bar, however long it is. There is nothing to change on your end.

Paste your shop link into Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest or a text message and it shows a preview card. For some shops that card was coming up blank: either no picture at all, or an empty white square where the logo belongs.

It came down to the file you uploaded. A WebP logo or banner never made it onto the card, and nothing told you.

Fixed. Your banner and logo show on the card whatever file you uploaded them as. There is nothing to re-upload.

Some shoppers open your shop from inside another app's browser, or on a connection that drops. When the payment form couldn't load for them, checkout went quiet: no card fields, no message, and a Pay button that did nothing.

Now they see what happened and get a Try again button, with their cart and their details still in place.

Instagram's built-in browser cuts a page off while it is still loading. A shopper who tapped back could land on "Something went wrong" instead of your shop.

Your shop now spots that interruption and loads the page again on its own, so the shopper carries on browsing without seeing an error.

Signing in used to last a week. Take a few days off and you came back to a login screen.

Now it holds. Sign in once on a browser and your dashboard is there whenever you come back to it.

You can still sign out any time from your account menu. And if you ever lose a laptop or sign in on someone else's computer, change your password in Settings with "Sign out of other devices" ticked: that ends every session except the one you're on.

Three things that help a browsing shopper turn into a buyer.

• If someone fills a cart, gives you their email at checkout and then leaves, your shop emails them once a few hours later with what they left behind. The link puts the cart back, even on a different phone. One email per cart, never more.
• Shoppers can heart any piece or pattern to save it for later. No account needed, and everything they save from any shop sits in one list at Saved.
• Your product pages can show when something is getting attention, like “In 6 shoppers' carts right now”. A line only appears once enough shoppers are behind it, so a quiet piece shows nothing.

Marketing, Email settings has a switch for each. Marketing also shows you the carts people left open and whether the reminder brought them back.

Promote has a QR code page now. Pick where it goes, get the file, print it.

• Point it at your link-in-bio page, your shop, or any page on it: a collection, a product, your custom-order form.
• Black or your brand color, on white or transparent, in three sizes. The big one is for posters.
• Download it as a PNG for packaging and posts, or an SVG for a print shop, where it stays sharp however large they print it.
• Tick the box to put your shop name and address under the code, so people know whose it is before they scan.

Soft Editorial sets a small label above each homepage section, like "Our Story". If you had already titled that section "Our story" yourself, you saw it twice, and there was no way to remove the one you didn't write.

Now the label steps aside whenever it repeats your own title, so the section reads with one heading. Where your title says something different, the label stays and the two read as a pair.

You can also switch the labels off: Customize, Branding, Theme decorations.

Opening an order on your phone pushed the page sideways. The prices sat off the edge of the screen and you had to scroll right to read them. It fits now.

A long customer email address wraps onto a second line instead of running off the card, so you can read all of it.

The Promote page went from writing your posts to helping you post them.

• The title on your share graphic is yours to write. Put whatever you like over the product name, and a long one shrinks to fit instead of ending in dots.
• Create a campaign opens your email with the announcement already in it: subject, preview line, your words, and the product as a card. Nothing to paste.
• Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest each have a button that copies the text and opens the app, so it's on your clipboard when you get there.

There's a Guide at the bottom of your sidebar. It lists every feature your shop has, grouped by what you're doing, with a link straight to each one. If you didn't know you had a blog, a gallery, or discount codes, that's where to look.

The top of the guide shows what we've added recently, and a dot appears next to Guide in the sidebar when there's something you haven't seen.

We'll also email you now and then when we add something worth knowing about. Turn that off anytime in Settings, Email preferences.

Clicking a shop on our shops page or the marketplace now opens it in a new tab. The list you were browsing stays put, so you can look through a few shops without pressing back each time.

On your shop's newsletter page, the signup stopped partway down and left a strip of blank page above the footer. It showed most on a tinted background.

It now runs down to the footer, with the form centered in it. Same on a phone and on a computer.

Shops are no longer USD-only. Pick your currency in Settings > Store details and your prices, checkout, receipts, and dashboard all follow - euros, pounds, Canadian dollars, and 13 more.

Shoppers pay in your currency, and payouts still land in your bank account's currency as usual.

Create your shop and a note from Hannah, our co-founder, lands in your inbox. It has the two places to reach us when you need help: the support chat in your dashboard and her Instagram DMs.

When you message us from the chat in your dashboard, our reply is meant to email you if you've stepped away. That email was never going out, so a reply could sit in the chat unseen. It sends now.

The email takes you straight to the conversation instead of dropping you on your dashboard to find it.

Same for the chat on our website: our reply opens your conversation on any device, not just the browser you started it in.

Your shop's footer links used to sit in one packed row on a phone, so shoppers could tap the wrong one.

They now lay out in two tidy columns, and every link, social icon, and email address gets a full-size tap target. On a computer the footer looks the same as before.

The confetti dots behind the page were big enough to land on your headings on a small screen. They are finer now, and spread out evenly, so they sit behind your words instead of on top of them.

The purple wash behind the hero is gone. Your photo and your welcome now float on the pink page, the way they do on a wide screen.

Using confetti as your page background on another theme? It got the same lighter touch.

Checkout now asks every buyer for their name and address, including on digital pattern orders. Before, a digital order only captured an email.

An order with a real name and address on it makes a buyer think twice about passing your pattern around. You can see the address on each order in your dashboard.

If your brand color is light, text in that color - sale percentages, links, product titles you hover - could fade into white cards and backgrounds.

Your shop now deepens that text just enough to read, only where the color is used as text. Buttons, badges, and decorations keep your exact brand color.

The email new subscribers get is now built like a campaign: add your own text, images, buttons, and dividers, drag them into order, and watch the live preview as you type. Find it under Marketing, or from Email settings.

There's also a new discount code block, in the welcome email and in campaigns. Pick one of your codes and it lands in the email as a coupon, so joining your list comes with a treat: 10% off a first order, or a button to a free pattern.

Haven't customized anything? Nothing changes: the standard welcome keeps sending.

The pricing page and the home page now show the whole fee picture next to the plans: Crochetify takes 0%, Stripe charges 2.9% + 30 cents to process the card, and a $45 sale puts $43.39 in your bank.

Your Orders page says the same thing where you read your earnings: processing fees are marked as Stripe's, not ours. Each order's payment summary now names the card processing fee and confirms Crochetify took 0% of that order.

The phone in your Share your website graphic used to be a drawing of your homepage, so small things could look off: the hero background, a button shape, a color.

It is now a photo of your live homepage, taken when you open the page. What you post is what shoppers see. Change your shop and the next graphic picks it up.

Product and gallery photos can now be up to 20MB, so photos off your phone or camera upload without resizing.

When you add several photos at once, one bad file no longer stops the rest - every photo that can upload does, and any that can't are named with the reason.

If the Etsy import can't bring a photo over, it now tells you which listings are affected instead of skipping them quietly.

Select products on the Products page, choose Edit prices, and update them in one list. Products with options show every option price, then one save applies all your changes.

You can now choose whether your custom domain or free Crochetify address is your shop's primary link. The same choice controls the main link and QR code in Link in Bio, while both addresses keep working.

After you buy a domain, the Domains page now shows when registration, DNS, and HTTPS are still in progress, including how long setup has been running. Crochetify also emails you and reminds you to verify the registration email Vercel sends. Your free Crochetify address stays live, and your custom domain switches on only when it is ready for shoppers.

Some shop logos could leave the browser tab icon blank. Your logo now shows correctly as the tab icon on your storefront.

Share graphics now come in six styles: Signature, Poster, Scrapbook, Sampler, Gallery, and Confetti. Each is drawn from your shop's colors, so every post stays on brand without looking like the last.

Pick a style on any Promote page, or hit Surprise me and let it choose. Your last pick is remembered for next time.

About, Contact, Custom orders, Newsletter, and Product settings now link straight to the shared shop background and keep that page in the preview while you edit it.

Long shop names get more room in the dashboard header, and changing your logo refreshes the browser tab icon instead of leaving an older icon cached.

Importing a big Etsy CSV could stop partway through, and you had to upload the same file again to get the rest. Imports now run to the end no matter how many listings the file has - upload once and every listing comes in.

Each product's Promote page now generates a ready-to-post image of that listing: its photo, name, and price on your shop's colors, sized for Instagram stories, posts, Pinterest pins, and more. Pick which photo to feature, then download or share.

The Share your website image got a redesign. It now sits on a light tint of your brand color, so your logo and shop stand out instead of blending in.

On the story size, the layout also leaves room at the bottom for your link sticker.

Your first sale is a big deal. When it happens, Crochetify now sends you a one-time congratulations email with a link to the order.

The support chat in your dashboard now opens with four taps: leave feedback, suggest a feature, report a bug, or get help. Pick one, type, and send.

We read and reply to every message. If something's confusing, broken, or missing, tell us.

On shop blogs with a long intro, the posts below could blend into the text above them. The list now opens with a Latest posts heading, and every post leads with its date, so it's easy to see where your intro ends and the posts begin.

Turn your homepage into a polished promo image: your shop inside a phone mockup, on your brand color, with your web address underneath.

Pick a size for Instagram stories, feed posts, Pinterest, or a square grid, then download it or share it from your phone. Find it under Marketing, in Promote.

The image is built from your live shop, so it always matches your current logo, colors, and products.

Wondering what to post? Every product now comes with a launch kit built from your listing: an Instagram caption, story text, a Facebook post, a Pinterest pin, and an email announcement. Pick a tone, tweak the words, and copy.

Find it under Marketing, or choose Promote from any product's menu. A launch checklist keeps track of where you've shared.

Homepage sections have a new Borders control in Customize. Give a section a top or bottom border: a thin line, a stitched thread, or a scallop trim in your brand color.

Themes with built-in dividers keep drawing them until you say otherwise. Pick None to remove one on an edge, or a style to replace it.

On the Celestial Dreamy theme, the big gold stars could land right under your shop name or hero text. They now keep to the edges of the hero, the night-sky pattern is softer behind your words, and text stays clear on every hero layout.

The Cottage Scrapbook theme closes your hero with a gingham ribbon and opens the footer with another. The two were drawn differently: one diagonal, one straight, at different sizes.

They're now the same ribbon, stitched edges and all.

The Minimal Gallery theme pins a small "THE SHOP" label to your hero photo. With the hero set to Full bleed, the label hung off the left edge of the page and got cut off.

On a Full bleed hero it now tucks into the photo's corner instead.

The Pastel Pop theme's navigation bar is now its own white sheet with a grape trim, so it stands out from the pink page instead of blending into it. The area behind the hero card gets a soft grape wash, so the top of your shop and your first section no longer share one flat color.

Until you add a hero photo, the circle on the hero now shows a clear empty picture frame, so it's obvious that's where your photo goes.

New shop links are one word: "Vale's Enchanted Hook" now suggests valesenchantedhook instead of vale-s-enchanted-hook. Apostrophes and backticks no longer leave stray dashes, and dashes you type yourself still work.

Changing your shop link in Settings now redirects your old address to the new one, so links you have already shared keep working.

A shopper with a tab open while we shipped an update could hit a "Something went wrong" screen on their next click. Same for shoppers using a translation extension, sometimes right at checkout.

Those pages now reload themselves and carry on. Carts are untouched either way.

Reviews you imported from Etsy are now labeled on the Reviews page in your dashboard, so you can tell them apart from reviews left on your shop.

There's also a new "Imported from Etsy" filter to see just the imported ones.

On the Cottage Scrapbook theme, the washi tape above each review could float away from its note on iPhones. The tape now stays pinned to its card on every device.

The hero vine on the Botanical Watercolor theme now ends in its flower, and each blossom sits on the end of its stem instead of floating next to it.

The vine also stays anchored to the bottom of the hero at every height.

You can now limit which countries you ship to, in Settings under Shipping. Pick the countries you want (there's a one-click option for the EU) and checkout only offers those destinations.

Leave it open and nothing changes: buyers anywhere your international rates cover can still order.

Change your primary color on a theme and the decorations change with it: heading accents, card trims, sparkles, and banner tints all pick up your color instead of keeping the theme's stock one.

Shops that keep a theme's own colors look exactly the same as before.

The "Read more reviews on Etsy" link under What shoppers say now also works when your Etsy shop is only linked on your bio page. If it's there, your storefront finds it and links it.

Also trimmed the watercolor wash on review cards in the Botanical theme so it follows the card's rounded corner.

Shoppers using browser translation can now add an item to their cart without the storefront hitting an error.

The inbox preview under the welcome email's subject used to repeat the subject. It now shows the start of your welcome message.

Discounts, sales, and email campaigns now show dates in your shop's time zone. They no longer flicker or reload when your browser and the server use different date formats.

You can now set your payout schedule in Settings, under Payments: daily, weekly, or monthly, on the day you pick.

Daily stays the default. Weekly and monthly gather your sales into one bigger payout.

Product photos on the marketplace now have arrows, so shoppers can step through a listing's photos right on the page.

On phones, you can also swipe through photos with your finger - on your shop, on the marketplace, and in the full-screen viewer.

A long product name used to get chopped at a set length in its link, so URLs ended in fragments like "...crochet-pat". Links now end at the last full word.

Existing product links with a cut-off word were updated too, and the old links redirect to the new ones - anything you've already shared keeps working.

The torn-paper strip between homepage sections showed thin vertical breaks on iPhones - easiest to spot over a striped section background. The strip now repeats seamlessly on every screen.

On phones, the pink squiggle under Pastel Pop headings could show thin white breaks along its length. The squiggle now draws as one continuous line, with tidy rounded ends instead of a cut-off wave.

Your review section can point shoppers to the rest of your reviews on Etsy - it just needs your Etsy shop link, and until now the only place to add it was buried in Customize.

Now the review import asks for your shop link with the upload, and if you've already imported reviews without one, the Reviews page offers a one-field prompt to add it. Save it once and "Read more reviews on Etsy" appears under your storefront's review section.

Marketplace search no longer hides a listing just because it misses one word of the search. Searching "crochet pig" now finds a pig listing even if it never says "crochet" - listings that match every word still rank first.

Review cards on your homepage now pack into neat columns. Each card is only as tall as the review inside it, and a long review or one with photos no longer leaves empty space beside shorter neighbors.

Percentage and fixed-amount codes have a new option under Usage limits: apply the discount to only one eligible item per order. The code comes off the highest-priced qualifying item in the cart instead of every one.

Handy for promotions like 50% off one pattern: shoppers can buy several, and just one gets the discount.

Gmail likes to file shop newsletters under Promotions. Your welcome email and the signup confirmation now ask new subscribers to drag it to their Primary tab - the one thing that reliably teaches Gmail where your emails belong.

Behind the scenes, your emails also carry the headers Gmail recommends for senders, which helps your delivery reputation over time.

Apply a discount code in the cart or at checkout and every item it covers now shows its discounted price, with the original crossed out - shoppers see what the code did to each item, not just the total.

The code box also capitalizes as you type and only accepts letters and numbers.

The marketplace categories now sort your listings in automatically. Each category recognizes what your items are from their names, so a pig plushie shows under Amigurumi & Toys and a beanie under Accessories without you doing anything. Assigning a category yourself in Dashboard > Marketplace still wins, and categories with nothing in them stay hidden.

Search matches each word on its own now. A search for crochet pig finds every listing that mentions both words, even when they never appear side by side.

The marketplace header also got a cleaner look that blends into the page.

Reviews you assign to a listing no longer disappear from your homepage. They show alongside your shop testimonials, with their photos, and each one names the piece it's about and links to it so shoppers can go see the item.

The Customize reviews picker lists them too, with the product name, so you can feature any mix of shop and product reviews.

Also fixed: on a product page, a review's From Etsy link now opens that item's own Etsy listing when the product was imported through the Etsy connection, instead of your shop's general review page.

The discount code field let you type spaces, then dropped them when you saved: type SUMMER SALE and the saved code was SUMMERSALE. Spaces are now skipped as you type, so the code you see is the code you get.

The email you get when someone orders from your shop now feels like the good news it is. Your order total leads in big type, each item shows its photo, and the price breakdown - discounts, shipping, tax - is right there.

Physical orders include the ship-to address, so you can start packing without opening your dashboard.

Every homepage section can now have its own background: a pattern in any color, or a photo behind dimmed, light text. Mix them - gingham behind your reviews, a yarn photo behind your story - under Customize > Sections > Section style.

• Patterns draw over the section's background color, so they follow your brand colors.
• Photos are dimmed automatically and the section's text flips light, so everything stays readable.

Full-page photo backgrounds moved here too: a photo behind one section looks better than one stretched behind the whole page. Shops already using a full-page photo keep it.

Also fixed: the corner wash gradient was hiding behind the top of your page where nobody could see it. It now follows as you scroll, so picking it actually changes something.

When you create a discount code, you can now pick what it covers: everything in your shop, specific listings, or specific collections. A collection code follows the collection, so listings you add later are covered too.

At checkout the code discounts only the covered items, and a minimum purchase amount counts only those items. Shoppers with none of them in their cart are told the code doesn't apply.

Your shop's overall rating now counts every published review - product reviews and shop testimonials together - so a new 4-star review moves the number on your homepage the moment you approve it.

• The reviews section on product pages got a clearer header: a bigger heading, your average rating front and center, and a Write a review button that stands out.
• Review photos on product pages are larger, so customer shots are easier to see.
• Reviews imported from Etsy now say "From Etsy" next to the date, with a link to your Etsy reviews page when you've added your Etsy link in Customize.

Shoppers can now browse handmade crochet from every Crochetify shop in one place, at crochetify.app/marketplace. Every listing links to the item on your own site - the checkout, the customer, and the sale stay yours, and Crochetify takes nothing.

• Your active products are listed automatically, on every plan, for free. Made-to-order items are included; sold-out items stay off until they're back.
• Shoppers can search, browse by category, and visit your marketplace shop page, which links to your site.
• You're in control: pick categories and hide individual items under Dashboard > Marketplace, or take your whole shop off with one switch.

Applying a theme used to drop any homepage section the theme's own layout didn't include - add a callout, pick a theme, and the callout vanished. Now every section you've added survives a theme switch, with its content and settings intact.

Sections the theme does include still restyle to match its look, and anything extra stays close to where you placed it. As always, nothing is final until you press Save.

Your shop now has a newsletter page: your signup form on its own page, with the same heading and copy as the homepage signup box. Share its link anywhere - a post, a market table card, a QR code.

It's linked from your footer, and you can add it to your menu or hero buttons from Customize. Don't want it? Hide it under Customize > Newsletter page.

The scrolling banner above your hero used to be on for every theme, showing standard wording even if you never wrote anything. Now it's a switch in the hero settings: turn it on or off whenever you like.

It starts on only for the themes that lead with it - Cozy Craft, Soft Editorial, and Minimal Gallery. On other themes it stays off until you flip it on. If you'd already written your own banner phrases, your banner stays on.

You can pick the banner's color too. Leave it blank for your theme's tint, or choose one of your brand colors - the text stays readable on whatever you pick.

Cozy Craft also drops the dashed line that floated between your shop name and tagline in the hero.

The photos in your homepage sections now have a position control, like the hero photo: drag the photo inside its frame to choose what stays in view when the shape crops it.

Callout sections got a photo size option too - small, medium, or large - so a square photo doesn't have to take up half the block.

Wide photos in a callout used to sit flush against the card's edge with bare corners. They now sit centered beside the text with rounded corners.

The wavy line was everywhere on this theme: under every heading, along the hero card, and as a thick zigzag between every section. Seeing four on one screen made none of them feel chosen.

Now each shape has one job. The squiggle marks titles, and that's all it does. Scallops own the edges: the strips between sections and the trim on the hero card now match the scalloped hem the footer always had, so every edge on the page speaks the same shape.

On a phone, Pastel Pop's hero could cut off the button under your heading, so the one thing you want tapped was the one thing missing. The hero now grows to fit what you put in it.

The frame around your hero photo was a flower. It's a circle now. The photo had also grown until it sat on the ribbon along the bottom of the card, so it's sized to leave the ribbon its room.

Every section on the homepage opened with 01: 01 Featured items, 01 Shop by category, 01 About. They count up now.

When a shopper opened checkout but never paid, the attempt could linger in your orders list marked Pending - which read like an order waiting on you. Those unpaid checkouts are now settled automatically: paid ones are confirmed and delivered, abandoned ones quietly drop off.

The label is honest now too: an order still says Awaiting payment while the shopper finishes checking out, instead of a vague Pending.

A new More you can do list on your dashboard home shows the shop tools you haven't touched yet - reviews, the gallery, sales and discounts, collections, and email campaigns - each with a line on what it does and a link straight to it.

Once you use a tool, its row disappears. Try everything and the whole section goes away.

The scrolling banner above the hero only worked on Cozy Craft; on every other theme the ticker never showed. Now each theme scrolls one in its own colors. Edit it under Customize > Homepage hero, or leave it blank for the standard wording.

Writing the banner is simpler too: up to four short phrases, each in its own box, with the dots between them added for you. And it scrolls at the same steady pace however much you write - the speed used to drift with the length of the line.

The theme decoration color pickers (accent, paper, ink) are gone. They changed some decorations and skipped others, which read as broken. Your theme now colors its decorations on its own, so they always match - your brand colors still drive buttons, links, and headings. Minimal Gallery keeps its Handmade badge switch.

Curating your reviews section used to mean adding reviews one by one and nudging them into place with arrows. The picker now stays open while you tap through it - add or remove as many as you like in one visit, up to the 12 the section holds.

Ordering is no longer a chore either: featured reviews now always show newest first, on your shop and in the editor.

On your shop the section header now shows your star rating out of 5 instead of a review count, and your Read more reviews on Etsy link sits right under it, where shoppers can see it.

Your shop lives at its own web address, and search engines had to find it on their own before they could show it in results. Crochetify now keeps a list of every live shop's pages that search engines check, so a new shop gets discovered without you setting anything up.

Setup used to end on a wall: two tall feature lists and a yearly total in the button. The plan step is now a short card - pick Basic or Pro, see the highlights of what's included, and open your shop with one button. What you'll pay today is spelled out right under it, and the full plan comparison is one click away.

Your shop page listed products newest first, with featured pieces on top. Now the order is yours: Products has an Arrange button - drag your pieces into the order you want and save. The shop page follows it exactly, and collections already follow the order you drag inside each collection.

Etsy's review export doesn't include photos, so imported reviews landed as text. Now you can add the customer photos you have: open a review in Reviews, choose Add photos, and they show on the review card in your shop with a tap-to-zoom view.

And if your Etsy shop holds the rest of your reviews, add your Etsy link under Customize > Social links - your reviews section then ends with a Read more reviews on Etsy link.

The dashboard's Finish setting up your shop card could lag: you'd add a product or share your link and the step stayed unticked until you wandered through Continue setup. Every step now ticks the moment it's done, however you did it - and copying your shop link from Settings counts as sharing your shop.

• Pastel Pop: the half-circle trims sit right - a flat edge along the top of the footer with the bumps hanging below, and a two-sided scalloped ribbon where bands meet. The stray sparkles on the hero corners are gone.
• Celestial Dreamy: headings lost the little star and their underline now runs unbroken; the star dividers use the same scattered pattern as the footer and follow your brand color instead of staying gold.
• Minimal Gallery: the ghost STUDIO word behind the hero is gone, and the spinning handmade badge follows your brand color - or switch it off under Branding > Theme decorations. The panel beside your photo was already yours to color: Homepage hero > Background.

Themes paint their decorations - Soft Editorial's gold thread, Pastel Pop's squiggles, Cozy Craft's kraft browns - with their own fixed colors. Now you can change them: in Customize, under Branding, a Theme decorations group sets the accent, paper, and ink colors your theme draws with.

• Remove a theme: the Theme panel now has a Remove theme button. Your colors and layout stay; only the theme's decorations drop.
• Split hero: long shop names shrink to fit instead of breaking mid-word, the text sits closer to your photo, the Background control now works with a photo (it colors the panel behind your text), and the height setting visibly changes the band.
• Soft Editorial: the stray gold rules are gone, the hero photo no longer touches the header, and the newsletter card has room to breathe before the footer.
• Pastel Pop: gentle spread-out ripples replace the tight squiggles, the moving candy-stripe bars became scalloped trims like the footer's, and the hero photo is a bigger flower that sits closer to your text.
• Cozy Craft: the scrolling banner text is yours to edit (in the Homepage hero panel), the photo frame is lighter, and the stitched seams run the full width of the page.

If your shop name and menu couldn't fit side by side, the name was trimmed with an ellipsis. Now the menu folds into the hamburger button the moment space runs short, so your full name always shows.

Your hero photo gets cropped to fit the space, and until now you could only nudge it to top, center, or bottom. If the good part sat somewhere in between, it stayed cut off.

Now you just drag. In Customize, under Homepage hero, grab the photo and slide it up or down until it sits right. The preview follows as you drag, and one click resets it to center.

Yesterday's theme refresh retired Botanical Watercolor, and a shop built on it lost its look. That was our mistake. The theme is back in the gallery, unchanged, and the shop that was using it is on it again.

The Cottage Scrapbook theme's hero lost its flower and fern doodles - the polaroid frame and your shop button now stand on their own. The gingham hem also gets breathing room before the first section below it.

Copying your link in the welcome walkthrough now counts as sharing your shop, so the dashboard's setup prompt goes away once every step is done. Before, it kept asking you to continue setup even after you'd shared your link.

Your checkout now offers one-tap wallets. Shoppers on an iPhone or Mac see Apple Pay, Android and Chrome shoppers see Google Pay, and anyone who has saved their card with Link can pay in a tap - no typing card numbers on a phone keyboard.

It's on for every shop automatically, including on your own domain. Nothing to set up.

The homepage hero's gradient background now has its own color picker in Customize. Choose the color the gradient fades in from - one of your brand colors or any hex - and it washes into your page background. Leave it blank and it keeps using your secondary tint, so nothing changes unless you want it to.

Every Crochetify maker can now join the affiliate program without applying. Open Refer & earn in your dashboard sidebar, click once, and you have your link.

• Anyone who joins through your link gets 30 days free on either plan, and you earn $10 when they become a paying maker.
• Your clicks, signups, and earnings live on the same page - no separate login.
• You earn commissions while your subscription is active. Your link keeps working for the people you send either way.

Send a maker to Crochetify and get paid for it. Affiliates earn $10 for every referral who becomes a paying customer, and the person they send gets a 30-day free trial on either plan.

• Apply at crochetify.app/affiliates - it takes a minute and we review every application by hand.
• You get a personal link and a private stats page with your clicks, signups, and earnings.
• Commissions clear 30 days after your referral's first payment and pay out monthly.

The Analytics page now tells your store's story in order: the conversion funnel right after your key numbers, then your best sellers, most-viewed products, top pages, and traffic sources side by side. The Link in bio report has its own section at the end.

• Funnels keep a readable width on large screens, and the drop-off labels sit centered over the bands.
• Breakdown lists got small touch-ups: divided rows, slimmer bars, and tidier truncation for long names.

All six shop themes got a full design pass, each with its own signature details:

• Cottage Scrapbook: deckle-edged torn-paper banners, washi-taped polaroid cards, daisy and fern doodles, and a gingham hem.
• Soft Editorial: a warmer ivory, letterspaced gold eyebrows, a founder-quote story band, and a magazine spread for your featured makes.
• Pastel Pop: scalloped photo medallions, bubble headings, candy ribbon marquees between sections, and sparkle details.
• Cozy Craft: an espresso header band, a scrolling handmade ticker, stamp-mat cards with swing-tag prices, and an oval story portrait.
• Celestial Dreamy: a constellation hem to close the page, with the night-sky look tuned for readability everywhere.
• Minimal Gallery: a layered collage hero with a rotating handmade badge, numbered exhibition labels, and letterspaced collection tiles.

We also trimmed the catalog to these six so each look stays distinct. Shops on the two retired themes (Cottagecore Garden and Botanical Watercolor) were moved to Cottage Scrapbook, the closest look, with their colors and content untouched - you can re-apply any theme from Customize.

The conversion funnel's Added to cart stage kept saying it was collecting data even after weeks of add-to-cart activity. It now shows the real count as soon as there is one.

In the Link in bio editor, product and link blocks set to the grid layout could render as huge empty cards in the preview, hiding the blocks below them (the published page was fine). The preview now sizes grid cards the same way the live page does.

On small phone screens, a longer shop name could get cut off in the header. The header now sizes the name to fit next to the account, cart, and menu icons.

Campaign emails can now feature a page of your website as a card, the same way you feature a product or a blog post. Add block → Website page, and pick custom orders, your about page, the gallery, contact, or any page you've written.

The custom orders card uses your own title and pitch from that page, with a photo from your gallery and a Request a custom order button.

If you sent yourself a test and were also subscribed, the campaign could arrive as a reply to that test instead of its own email. Every send is now marked as its own conversation, so tests and campaigns land separately.

Collection pages now have the same controls as your shop page: a search bar, sorting, and filters.

• Create categories inside a collection - Animals, Seasonal, Keychains - from the collection editor, and give each product one. Shoppers can then filter the collection by category.
• Shoppers can also search within a collection and sort by newest or price.
• The Featured sort now does what it says: pieces you mark as featured come first.

Your hero can now play a video. Upload a short clip in Customize under Homepage hero and it plays silently on a loop where your hero photo sits - your work in motion, right at the top of your shop.

• Works on the Full bleed and Split hero layouts.
• A clip of 5-15 seconds loads fastest and looks best.
• Your hero photo is still used when your shop is shared as a link.

When a customer taps the account icon on your shop, the sign-in page now shows your logo and a link back to your shop, so they always have a way back to browsing.

Your welcome email and sender settings are now one click away: Marketing → Email settings in the sidebar.

Gallery moved to the Storefront section. It's your storefront's photo wall, so that's where it lives.

When someone joins your list from your storefront or bio page, they now get a welcome email sent as your shop: your logo (or your shop name in your brand color), a button to your storefront, and an unsubscribe link built in.

Edit the subject and message in Marketing → Email settings, send yourself a test, or turn it off. Works on every plan.

Themes now differ in layout, not just dressing. Soft Editorial opens your featured makes with a full-width magazine lede. Pastel Pop puts them on a swipeable shelf. Celestial Dreamy lets alternating cards drift a step down. Minimal Gallery hangs them edge to edge with hairline seams. Cottagecore Garden sets your story on a framed storybook page.

Decorations are tidier too. Pastel Pop's wave runs the full width between sections instead of floating mid-page. Celestial Dreamy's underlines and constellation lines are solid, the moon is gone, and stars stay clear of your text. Cottagecore Garden trades scattered mushrooms and ferns for one pressed fern on the story page's corner. Minimal Gallery's section numbers now read like exhibition labels: 01 — Featured makes.

The Botanical Watercolor theme's decorations are redrawn. Vines now grow from the hero's top corners - veined leaves along a winding stem, small blossoms, tendril curls, and a bud - reaching along the top and down the sides to frame your shop name.

The vines also follow your colors now: change your brand color and they redress to match.

The little sprigs beside headings and the divider between sections use the same leaves and blossoms at a smaller size.

Themes used to share one layout with different colors. Now each one draws your shop its own way: Cottage Scrapbook shows your products as taped polaroids with torn-paper headings and a gingham hem, Soft Editorial sets them like a magazine, Pastel Pop turns them into stickers with speech-bubble reviews, Minimal Gallery numbers them like an exhibition - and so on for all eight.

Your content, colors, fonts, and sections stay yours to edit, exactly as before. The theme handles the craft: photo frames, section dividers, heading accents, review styles.

• New shops now open already dressed in Cottage Scrapbook, so your page looks designed from day one.

Your customers no longer need a password. They enter their email, get a six-digit code, and they're in - first-timers get an account automatically. Signing in shows their orders from every Crochetify shop, including digital files.

The separate Your purchases page is retired. Its footer link now lives in the buyer's account, and old links redirect there.

The Footer section of the Customize editor now lists every link your footer shows - collections, blog, gallery, custom orders, contact, and buyer links - each with its own switch. Turn off the ones you don't want.

Hide a single collection or several; new collections still appear automatically. Policies always stays.

Some homepage sections stay off your live page until they have something to show - reviews with no reviews yet, the newsletter box while signup is turned off, categories with no stocked collection. Before, they just silently didn't appear.

Now the Customize sections list marks these with a "Not shown yet" note that says why, and links you to the fix - like turning on newsletter signup in Settings.

• New shops start with every default section in the list, so you can fill each one in and watch it go live.
• Each section now describes itself when you open it, so it's clear what a callout is versus a feature highlight.
• The preview no longer shows category cards for empty collections the live page hides.

The Contact & social editor now links to your chat name in settings, since that name appears in your contact page copy. Change it there and the page updates.

Your shop header has an account icon for shoppers, but the Customize preview left it out. The preview now shows the header the way visitors see it.

Pressing Edit while viewing your contact page used to drop you on the settings page. It now opens the Contact & social editor, where you can see the page and change your email and social links.

Shoppers can now create a Crochetify account and see orders from every Crochetify shop in one place. Past guest orders appear when they match the account's verified email.

Names, phone numbers, and shipping addresses can be saved for faster checkout next time.

The Featured Makes editor now shows the products already on your storefront. Drag them into the order you want shoppers to see.

The integrations page now points to Etsy imports, so the description matches what you can use today.

When you answer a message from your shop, you can now pick where the reply goes: the conversation on your site, the visitor's email, or both. The picker sits under the reply box in Messages, and your choice sticks for next time.

Choosing Contact & social in Customize now shows the contact page, so you can see the page while you edit your email and social links.

In the homepage editor, drag your feature highlights into the order you want. Your shop preview updates as soon as you move one.

The About and custom orders pages can now be turned off in Customize. Hidden pages are removed from your shop menu, footer, links, and search results. Your saved page content and past custom order requests stay put.

Homepage callout sections can now include up to three buttons. Add, reorder, style, and link each button in Customize.

Sweet Little Buddies is now featured on the shops page, alongside other independent crochet makers on Crochetify.

Uploading a pattern PDF, ZIP, or EPUB could fail with a 401 error no matter how many times you tried. That's fixed. And if an upload ever fails now, the message tells you what went wrong instead of just showing an error code.

Shop cards on the shops page could stretch wider than the screen on phones, so the page scrolled sideways. Cards now stay inside the screen.

If your Etsy shop runs in German or another language, Etsy exports your listings CSV with translated column names - and our importer didn't recognize them. Now it does. Files re-saved through Excel (semicolons, decimal commas) import correctly too.

Yearly plans used to show up as $7.50 or $15.83 a month - the math was right, but it was confusing. Pricing now always shows the real monthly price ($9 Basic, $19 Pro), and picking yearly says what you get: two months free.

Crochetify now works for makers in 40 countries. When you set up payouts, pick your country first - the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, most of Europe, Japan, Mexico, and more.

Your country can't be changed once payout setup starts, so check it before you connect your bank.

The theme gallery is all new: eight looks designed from scratch, each its own world - Cottage Scrapbook, Soft Editorial, Pastel Pop, Botanical Watercolor, Cozy Craft, Cottagecore Garden, Celestial Dreamy, and Minimal Gallery.

Themes now shape the whole shop: corner styles, borders, shadows, heading weight, and hand-drawn touches like ferns, stars, gingham, and stitched frames. Your products, colors, and words always carry over when you switch.

• New Background panel in Customize: layer a gradient wash, a pattern (dots, gingham, confetti, stars, kraft paper, watercolor...), or a full photo behind your whole shop. Text stays readable automatically.
• A built-in photo library: search free Unsplash photos for your hero or background without leaving the editor.

Everything is still yours to change - pick a theme, then make it your own.

Every picture on the landing page is now a real listing from a live Crochetify shop - real plushies, real prices, real payouts. The stock photos are gone.

The three setup steps preview the product itself: the top of a real storefront, an Etsy import with its listing photos, and an order paying out.

Feature previews are bigger, the storefront builder leads the feature list, and the buttons you use to get started are larger on every screen.

The shops page now previews each shop with a large tile: the shop's name and logo, then a collage of product photos tinted with the shop's brand color.

Shops with fewer photos get bigger ones - a single photo fills the tile - and every tile links to the storefront, same as before.

Trial reminder emails now show your trial's end date in your own time zone, so the date in the email matches the day the charge lands on your card.

Taking the free-months offer in the cancel flow now also stops a renewal charge that was minutes from going through. No charge today means no charge today.

Uploading your Etsy export now shows every listing in the file - with photos and prices - before anything imports. Everything new starts checked, so bringing over the whole shop is still one click.

• Uncheck anything you'd rather leave behind, or use the select-all box to start from zero.
• Shift-click checks or unchecks a whole range at once, and a search box jumps straight to a listing in a big shop.
• Listings already in your shop start unchecked and are labeled - checking one imports it again as a separate copy, so re-imports never create surprise duplicates.

Coming back to finish setting up? The walkthrough now skips the intro and greets you with exactly what's left, so you can jump straight to the step you need instead of clicking through everything again.

It looks better too: bigger buttons, a clearer sense of where you are, and the Instagram step now shows a live phone preview of your page instead of a wall of text.

Importing from Etsy used to greet you with a wall of text. Now it's three short steps, one upload button, and the Etsy and Crochetify marks side by side so you can see exactly what's connecting to what.

The fine print didn't disappear - the details about digital downloads, videos, and collections now show up right after your import finishes, when they're actually useful. The reviews import got the same cleanup.

Link-in-bio pages now carry a small Crochetify mark in the top corner and, in place of the old "Powered by" line, a footer button inviting visitors to join you on Crochetify. Your links, products, and colors stay front and center - the signature stays out of the way.

On Pro, the remove-branding toggle hides all of it, exactly as it did before, and the editor preview shows your page precisely as visitors will see it.

Your link-in-bio page now shows your avatar as its browser-tab icon instead of a blank globe, and your storefront's tab icon works even if your only logo is a wordmark.

Saving your storefront to a phone's home screen now uses your logo and your shop's name too - not ours. Your brand, everywhere your links go.

Changed a storefront color and want the old one back? Every color picker in Customize now has a little undo button that returns the color you just replaced - even if you had already saved it, and even after a Reset.

It works on your primary, secondary, and background colors, plus the header, footer, and hero pickers. Press it again to flip back if you change your mind.

Crochetify has a fresh coat of paint: our tote-and-yarn logo got a crisper redraw, and the brand berry is now a brighter raspberry everywhere - buttons, links, and accents across the site, your dashboard, and the emails we send for you.

The Classic storefront theme uses the new berry too. It applies when you pick the theme, so shops with their own colors are untouched.

Some computers mislabel a PDF's file type, which could get a perfectly good pattern file rejected before it even started uploading. We now recognize pattern files by their file extension too, so .pdf, .zip, and .epub files upload dependably from any device.

When an upload does fail, the error message now says more about what went wrong so it's easier to fix.

The Orders page now shows your earnings at a glance: total sales, processing fees, and net earnings - the amount that actually reaches your bank - without opening the payout dashboard.

• Each order's payment summary breaks out the processing fee and the net you keep.
• Payments in your payout dashboard now list the products that were bought, so you can tell transactions apart at a glance.
• Opening the payout dashboard now opens a new tab, so your Crochetify dashboard stays right where you left it.

You can now make a discount code that rewards buying more of the same item: the first one is regular price, and every additional one gets a percentage off.

• Pick the new "Bulk discount" type when creating a code and set the percent, for example 20% off each additional item.
• It works per listing: buy three of the same flower and the first is full price while the other two are 20% off. Different listings each start from full price, and options of the same listing count together.
• Minimum purchase, usage limits, one-per-customer, and start and end dates all still apply.

Find it under Discounts in your dashboard.

On a phone, tapping a dashboard menu section with an arrow (like Products) used to jump straight to a page and close the menu, hiding the pages inside it. Now the section expands in place so you can see everything - Collections, Sales, Discounts, and more - and pick where to go.

You can now run a sale across your whole shop, or just the listings you pick, straight from the dashboard - the same way you would on Etsy.

• Choose a percentage off (1-90%), pick everything or specific products, and optionally schedule a start and end date. The sale ends on its own.
• Shoppers see the regular price crossed out next to the sale price, with the discount called out on your product cards, product pages, and link in bio. No code for them to enter.
• Checkout charges the sale price automatically, and discount codes still stack on top for your best customers.

Find it under Products, then Sales in your dashboard.

The Crochetify homepage hero got a redesign: a real maker's storefront on a phone, with an order arriving and a payout landing beside it, so anyone thinking about opening a shop can see exactly what they get.

There's now a public Shops directory at crochetify.app/shops that lists every live shop, linked from the main menu and footer.

It gives your storefront an extra way to be found: Google already crawls crochetify.app, and the directory points it straight at your shop, so a brand-new shop link no longer relies only on where you share it.

Your shop is listed automatically once it's published and has at least one item for sale - there's nothing to turn on. A paused shop is left off until you publish it again.

The Crochetify homepage and pricing page now introduce the platform with a simpler header, tighter hero copy, and updated app icons, so new makers get a more polished first look before they start a shop.

Your Analytics now include your link in bio, so you can see how it turns followers into shoppers instead of guessing.

• A link-in-bio funnel shows how many people opened your page, tapped a link, and headed to your shop, sitting right above your store's conversion funnel.
• A per-link breakdown shows exactly which blocks your followers tap the most.
• Tap counts stick to each link even after you edit or remove it, so a link you ran during a sale still shows the taps it earned (marked 'removed') instead of disappearing.

Find it on the Analytics page on Pro; it follows the same date range as the rest of your report.

If a product has a video, your shop now shows it off without anyone having to go looking for it.

• Hovering a product in your shop or a collection quietly plays its video right inside the card, like a moving photo - so a scroll through your shop feels alive.
• On the product page, the video sits in the gallery with a play button; one click plays it.

Videos always play muted, so nothing surprises a shopper with sound.

Linktree is now one of the platforms you can add under Customize → Contact & social, alongside TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, and the rest.

Paste your full linktr.ee link or just your username, and the Linktree icon shows up with your other socials on your storefront and link in bio.

Your storefront and link in bio now have a real type system, so your brand can sound like you everywhere instead of being stuck with a couple of presets.

• Choose a heading font and a body font independently, from a large library of beautiful typefaces - serif, sans, rounded, display, handwritten, and mono - each shown in its own lettering as you browse and search.
• Start from a curated pairing for an instant, designer-matched look, then fine-tune either font.
• Find it in Customize under the new Typography section, and on your link in bio under Design.

The link-in-bio editor got a big style upgrade, so your page can look the way you want instead of one-size-fits-all.

• A full font library: 25 typefaces, from classic serifs to playful scripts, grouped so they're easy to browse and shown in their own lettering as you pick.
• New background styles: lay a grid, dots, checkerboard, stripes, or diagonal pattern over any color, on top of the solid, gradient, and photo options you already had.
• More button looks: add a soft tint or a frosted glass finish alongside solid and outline, and mix them with your button shape and shadow.

Open your link in bio and head to the Design tab to try them.

On your shop and collection pages, a product with variations always read "From $X", even when every variation was the same price. Now the "From" only appears when the variations actually have different prices - when they all cost the same, the listing shows that one price on its own.

Short on time, or not sure where to start? There's a new Design help page under Storefront where you can ask the Crochetify team to style your storefront for you.

• Send a few notes on the look you're after - colors, the pieces to feature, shops you admire - or just point us at your Instagram and let us run with it.
• We reply right in your support chat, so the whole conversation stays in one place.
• Nothing goes live until you're happy with it.

A brand-new shop now looks designed before you've added a thing.

• Your homepage leads with a short row of highlights tuned to what you sell, so it never feels empty while you're still adding products.
• A hero with no photo yet shows a soft, on-brand backdrop instead of a flat grey band.
• The empty 'no products yet' spot got a friendlier, more finished look.

It's all just a starting point - tweak or remove any of it in Customize.

Open any order and you'll find two new payment shortcuts.

• Download receipt: get a clean, itemized PDF for any paid order. The totals match your payment summary line for line, so it's ready to forward to a customer or keep for your records.
• View payment: jump straight to your payout dashboard to find the payment behind an order.

New shops used to start on free shipping by default, which made it easy to sell a physical item without ever charging for postage. Now you set your own shipping rate before a physical item can go live - free shipping is still available, just as a deliberate choice rather than the silent default.

• Your products page flags any live item that would ship free, so a forgotten rate can't quietly cost you postage.
• If your shop was still carrying the old free default, it's been cleared so you can set the rate that's right for you.

Your link in bio is a Linktree alternative that sells - one link for your Instagram bio where followers browse and buy your products without leaving. We've made that obvious everywhere it shows up.

• Setup now spells out what the page is, shows exactly where the link goes on your Instagram profile, and lets you jump straight into the editor.
• The editor explains what the page does and what to add first, so a blank page is never a mystery.
• A new reminder on your dashboard nudges you to set up your link in bio when you have a page but haven't built it yet.

Your link-in-bio page now has the layouts and styling to stand next to anything on Linktree.

• Show products, collections, and links as a two-column photo grid. Set any of those blocks to the new Grid layout and the ones you place next to each other pair up two-across into a shoppable gallery; keep them on List for the full-width row.
• New button shadow styles in Design: Flat, Soft, or a bold Hard shadow that drops an offset block in your button color for that punchy, sticker-like look.
• Everything stays in sync - the live preview shows your grids and shadows exactly as visitors will see them.

You can now sell to customers abroad, with shipping priced for where the order is going - not one flat rate that loses money on overseas parcels.

• Set where you ship from in Settings, Shipping. Orders to your own country pay your home rate; anywhere else pays the international rate.
• Each shipping profile can turn international on and set its own first-item and each-additional rate. Leave it off and that profile stays domestic-only.
• At checkout, shoppers pick their country and see shipping update before they pay. If an item doesn't ship to their country, they can't accidentally order it.
• New shops stay domestic-only by default, so you never ship abroad until you choose to.

Your dashboard menu now shows a count next to anything waiting on you, so new work is obvious the moment you sign in - no need to open each page to check.

• Orders shows how many paid orders still need to be shipped, and Reviews shows how many are waiting for your approval.
• Messages shows how many customer conversations have an unread reply.
• Custom orders keeps its count of new requests, as before.
• Counts roll up onto the section header too, so you'll see them even while that section is collapsed - on both desktop and mobile.

Applying a theme in Customize is easier to follow, and the picker is tidier.

• When your shop already has its own colors, applying a theme now asks one clear question with two options - use the theme's colors and font, or keep your own - each shown with real color swatches so you can see exactly what you'll get. One Apply button, no more guessing between look-alike choices.
• The theme picker shows the looks two-up as compact tiles instead of a long stack of oversized cards, so you can compare them at a glance and pick one with a single click.

Your dashboard menu had grown into a long list. We grouped the pages into a few clear sections so it's quicker to scan and find what you need.

• Related pages now live together under Orders, Catalog, Customers, Marketing, and Storefront. Click a section to expand it, and the section you're working in opens on its own.
• Overview, Analytics, and Settings stay one click away at the top and bottom.
• A new custom-order request still shows its count next to Orders, even while that section is collapsed.

We reworked storefront themes so each one is a genuinely different look - its own colors and its own layout, not just a recolor.

• Six themes to start from: Classic (warm berry), Atelier (editorial black and white), Sage (fresh green), Lavender (soft purple), Coastal (crisp blue), and Bold (dramatic dark).
• Already styled your shop? Applying a theme now lets you keep your own colors and take just the new layout, or take the whole look - your choice.
• The theme picker shows a truer preview of each one - its header, hero, and homepage layout in the theme's own colors - so you know what you're getting before you apply.
• Fixed a Bold-theme hero where a long shop name could run behind the photo. Your shop name now always stays clear, on every screen size.

We redesigned the pricing page so the plans are easy to read at a glance and it's obvious where pricing starts.

• Both plans sit side by side as clean columns, with a "Billed yearly" switch on each that's on by default - so you see the better-value annual price first, with the exact amount billed spelled out underneath.
• The wording is clearer everywhere: plans start at $9 a month, and there are two of them (Basic and Pro), not a single flat price.
• Flip the switch to monthly any time to compare. Yearly billing is still two months free.

Sell one product in several options - sizes, colorways, lengths - and let shoppers pick the one they want, each with its own price and stock.

• Turn on Variations when editing a finished item, name the option (Size, Color), and add a row for each choice. Your shop shows a clean picker, and the listing price reads "From $X".
• The option a buyer chose follows their order all the way through - the cart, checkout, your order details, and the receipt.

Shipping is clearer too, so no one's surprised at checkout:

• Every physical item now needs a shipping profile, so buyers are charged shipping and you're never stuck covering postage. Offering free shipping? Add a zero-rate profile - a deliberate choice now, not an accident.
• Each listing shows the shipping cost right up front, before checkout.

Products you bring in from Etsy arrive as drafts so you can review them first - but drafts stay hidden from your live shop, and it wasn't always obvious they needed publishing. Now it's clear and quick.

• The moment an import finishes, you can publish everything at once with a single button, or choose to review first.
• Your Products page shows a friendly reminder whenever imported products are still hidden, with Publish all right there.
• Digital downloads that still need a pattern file are left as drafts and flagged, so nothing goes live unfinished.

After you subscribe, a quick full-screen walkthrough now helps you get your shop ready to share and start taking orders - no guesswork about what to do first.

• Set up payouts so customers can check out and your money reaches your bank.
• Grab your Instagram link (a link-in-bio page on Pro, your shop link otherwise) with a one-tap copy and a QR code to test on your phone.
• A short tour of the dashboard, plus quick starts to add your first product or import from Etsy.
• Skip anything for now and pick it back up from your dashboard. You can replay the whole walkthrough anytime from Settings, under Welcome guide.

Pick a theme to give your entire storefront a fresh, coordinated look - colors, fonts, hero, and homepage layout all at once - then tweak anything to make it yours. You'll find them under Customize, in the new Theme section.

• Four hand-crafted starting points: Classic (warm and timeless), Atelier (clean and minimal), Bloom (soft and cozy), and Bold (a striking dark mode).
• Applying a theme keeps your products, reviews, story, and hero text - only the styling and layout change, and you can preview it live before you save.
• New hero layouts let you choose a full-bleed banner, a split photo-and-text design, a slim text-only band, or no hero at all.
• Your featured products can now flow as a swipeable carousel instead of a grid.

Your bio page's link block can now point at a place on your shop, not just an outside website. Pick a destination from a searchable list and you're done:

• Link straight to a product, a collection, a blog post, or any page on your shop - no copying and pasting URLs.
• External links, email addresses, and phone numbers still work exactly as before.
• The button label fills in from whatever you choose, and on-shop links open right inside your storefront.

We polished the link-in-bio builder so the page can feel more like yours:

• Give any block its own button color - pick one of your shop's brand colors or a custom shade so a section stands out. Leave it blank to match the rest of the page.
• Choose how your link icons are cropped (circle, rounded, or square) right from the Design tab.
• Links you paste now show a friendly name like "Etsy" or "YouTube" instead of the raw web address when you haven't set a label.
• A new "View page" button opens your live bio page in one click, and the newsletter button now reads "Subscribe" by default.

The link-in-bio page is out of early access - it's now available to every shop on Pro. One clean, mobile-first link that sends your followers straight to your products, your custom-order form, and your full shop.

• Build it from your dashboard under Link in bio: add product cards, links, a newsletter sign-up, and your socials, with a live phone preview as you go.
• Logos appear automatically on your links, and a built-in share button gives you a scannable QR code for your profile.
• It's the perfect single link for your Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube bio.

Crochetify is for real, handmade crochet, and your shoppers should never have to wonder whether a photo is the genuine article. So we've made it official: AI-generated product images are not allowed anywhere on the platform.

• Your product photos have to show the actual item you made. Ordinary editing like cropping and adjusting the lighting is still completely fine.
• We enforce it with a two-strike policy: the first AI-generated image gets removed with a warning, and a second one closes the store.
• The full policy now lives in our Terms of Service.

We've added a free Guides section packed with practical, no-fluff advice on turning your crochet into a shop that sells. It's right there in the top menu under Guides.

• Where to sell: best places to sell crochet online, plus honest Crochetify-vs-Etsy and Crochetify-vs-Shopify-vs-Big-Cartel comparisons.
• The money stuff: a plain-English breakdown of Etsy's fees, and how to price your crochet with a simple formula.
• Getting going and growing: how to start selling step by step, photography that sells, writing product descriptions, shipping handmade items safely, and whether you need a business license.

Ten guides to start, with more to come.

Give a pattern away to grow your audience. Set a digital download to free and shoppers can grab it right from the listing - they enter their email and the PDF lands in their inbox, ready to download instantly.

• No cart, no checkout: a free pattern shows a “Get the free pattern” button instead of “Add to cart.”
• You don't even need payments connected to share one, so you can start building a following from day one.
• Set the price to 0 on any digital download to make it free, or turn on “Let buyers pay more” for a tip jar.

Building your bio page is easier on the eyes and easier to use. Your blocks and styling now sit beside a live phone preview, so every change shows up the moment you make it.

• Content and Design each get their own tab - no more scrolling past a wall of settings to find what you want.
• On your phone, flip between Edit and Preview with a single tap.
• A tidy top bar keeps your link, save status, and share button right where you need them.

• Charts and daily totals now use your shop's local day, so today is today.
• We detect your time zone automatically the first time you open the dashboard - change it any time in Settings - Store.
