What's new

In the Crochetify app, opening the app again after a while could swap the posts on Home while you were reading the first one. Now the feed stays as you left it.

• When there are new posts, a New posts button shows at the top. A tap on it, or on the Home tab, shows them.
• Pulling down still refreshes the feed.

When a listing with a video goes up, or you share it to the feed, its post in the Crochetify app's Home now opens on the video. It plays on its own, silent and on a loop, while the post is on screen, and the photos follow it. A still frame used to stand in.

• On Wi-Fi it plays as the post comes into view. On cellular it shows the first frame with a play button, and a tap plays it.
• A tap on the playing video opens it full screen, with the controls.
• One video plays at a time in the feed. A listing with no video, and a post you wrote, look as they did.

In the Crochetify app, a search or a tapped category used to open a separate results page: two columns of cards under Items and Shops tabs. Now the results are the same three-across grid the Search tab opens on, with the same row of chips above it.

• Tapping a category, Patterns or Free changes what the grid shows and nothing else. The chip that is on carries the count.
• Once something is on or searched for, Ready to ship, On sale, Under $5 and the sort join the same row.
• A line above the tiles names the shops that make what is shown ("3 shops make whales") and opens the list of them.
• Your listing's video plays in the results as it does on the grid, and holding a tile peeks at it.

In the Crochetify app, swiping between the photos on a post in Home used to show a blur, then a fade, and sometimes the picture changed shape as the next photo came in. Now the next photo comes in sharp.

• A photo the app has already shown comes up sharp at once, with no blur and no fade. A photo loading for the first time fades in once over its preview.
• The photos either side of the one on screen load ahead, so a swipe lands on a photo that is ready.
• Every photo in a post now sits in the frame the way the first one does. When the first photo fills the frame, the others fill it too, as on Instagram, so the picture keeps one shape through a swipe. The whole photo is a pinch or a tap away.
• The same goes for the photos on a listing and in the full-screen viewer.

Made a pattern or a bundle with another designer? Open the listing, add their Crochetify shop as a collaborator under Collaboration, and set their share, like 50%. They accept from their dashboard, and either of you can end it later; sales already made keep their split.

The listing stays yours and sells on your shop. Once they accept, it also shows on their shop and on their page in the Crochetify app, marked with your shop's name and linking to your listing. The marketplace shows it once, under your shop.

• On every paid order, Crochetify sends the collaborator their share of what the buyer paid for the listing, after card processing fees split the same way. Shipping and tax stay with you. Their share reaches their payouts a few days after the payment, and a refund returns the same share.
• You see the order as usual, with their share as a line in the payment summary. They see a collaboration sale with the listing, the date and their share, and nothing about your buyer.
• Collaborations, under Products, lists your invitations, every listing you sell together on either side, and the collaboration sales with each share.

Every paid tier on your Club page now has Give as a gift under it. A fan picks 1, 3, 6 or 12 months, types a friend's email and a note, and chooses whether the email goes right away or on a day they pick, like a birthday. They pay once, at the tier's price times the months (a year at your yearly price when the tier has one), and the money lands in your payouts like any sale.

The friend gets an email with the note and a Start your membership button. They sign in or make a free account, and their months begin that day: the same posts, patterns and comments as any member on the tier, with no card and nothing renewing. A week before it ends they're offered a plan of their own, which bills only once the gift runs out. Someone who already pays for your Club has the gift credited to their billing instead.

Gifted members show in your members list as Gift, with the day it ends. Club now has a Gifts page with every gift, who gave it and where it stands, and Refund on each: refunding one that was started ends that membership. Orders links there once you've sold one.

In the Crochetify app's Notifications, tapping "Vale liked your post" opened your shop's home, which says nothing about the like. Now it opens the post. Back takes you to Notifications.

• A like on a Club post opens that post, and a like on a comment you wrote opens the comment.
• The notification on your phone opens the same place. When the likes are on more than one post, it opens Notifications, with a row for each post.
• The row shows the photo of the person it names, or their first initial. When it names nobody, it shows a heart.

In the app, a heart, a bookmark or Follow now changes the moment you tap it, every time. Before, a second tap while the first was still saving did nothing until the first was done.

Search results come back sooner, and saving a piece no longer makes the app reload your other screens in the background.

In your dashboard, a thin line runs across the top while the next page loads, so you can see your tap worked. You see it in My Shop in the app and on the website.

A video on a listing used to sit behind a play button until a shopper pressed it, and most never did. Now it plays the moment it is on screen, silent and on a loop, on your product page, on the marketplace and in the Crochetify app, like a video on Instagram or Etsy.

On your site the player keeps its controls, so a shopper can pause or scrub, and a tap in the app opens it full screen with controls. Nothing ever plays sound on its own, and a shopper who has Reduce Motion on still gets the poster and the play button.

If notifications like "10 new saves" are more than you want, you can now turn them off and keep the rest. Saves on your listings has its own switch in Settings, Notifications, beside Likes and followers.

Your choice is kept for your shop, so it holds on every phone you sign in on. If you had turned off Likes and followers, saves are off too. Saves still count on your listings, and they never say who saved.

In the Crochetify app, Settings in Shopping now has a Your shop's notifications row that opens these switches.

You can now upload an SVG as a pattern file, next to PDF, ZIP and EPUB, up to 50MB each. Buyers download it the moment they pay. If you zipped your SVGs to get them in, those files keep working.

A discount code or a Club member discount can now cover every digital download in your shop, or every physical item, with one choice under Applies to. You don't pick listings one by one, and a listing you add later is covered too.

So a Club perk like 100% off your patterns leaves your made-to-order pieces at full price, and shoppers no longer see a member offer on the pieces it doesn't cover.

The emails a shopper gets about a cart they left now price it the way checkout does. A bundle, a buy more, save more offer, a sale price or a code they added comes off, with a row for each, so the total is what they would pay before shipping and tax.

Prices are in the currency the shopper was seeing on your site, with the same note your site shows: "Prices are estimated in USD. Checkout charges EUR." Checkout still charges your currency.

• The code you attach to the second reminder is offered only when it saves more than the cart already gets.
• Return to your cart puts that code on the cart, so the shopper doesn't have to type it.
• A long listing name wraps before its price instead of running into it.

Likes used to be a number. Now each person chooses whether their likes show their name, and we ask everyone once. When someone who said yes likes your post or your comment, your notification names them: "Vale liked your post", "Vale and 4 others liked your posts". Everyone else is still "Someone".

Tap the count beside a heart, in the app or on a Club post on your site, to see who liked it: the people who chose to be shown, and how many keep their likes private. The count stays the full total.

Saves and follows have not changed. Who saved a piece stays private, and your followers list is yours alone.

A shopper who reads a different language than you write in now sees See translation under your listing's name, on your website, on the marketplace and in the Crochetify app. One tap shows the name and description in their language, and Show original brings your words back.

The same link appears under your posts, your Club posts, comments, reviews and your shop's story. Your pages keep your own words: a translation is shown only to the person who asked for it, so search engines see nothing but what you wrote.

A translated pattern listing says the pattern file may still be in your language, so nobody expects a translated PDF. Stitch abbreviations and counts are kept exactly as you wrote them.

Now and then, a photo in the Crochetify app's Home feed stayed as its soft blurred preview and never sharpened, even though the same photo opened fine on its listing. Each photo now keeps trying until it loads.

• A photo that stops loading on a slow connection is asked for again on its own, and again when its post scrolls back into view.
• A photo that can't load says Tap to retry instead of sitting there blurred.
• The same goes for the photos on a listing and the covers of Club posts.

Home in the Crochetify app shows your listings on their own, so shoppers find them even when you haven't posted: a new listing when it goes up, and older ones from time to time after. That wasn't clear, and a like on one came as "Someone liked your post" about a post you never wrote.

• Each listing now has a Share to the Crochetify feed switch under Visibility, next to List on the marketplace. Turn it off and that listing stays out of the feed, new or old. It's on for everything you have.
• Marketing > Posts has a Share new listings to the feed switch that sets where the switch starts on each new listing. Listings you already have keep their own.
• After you add a listing that goes into the feed, "Product added!" says so.
• A like on one of those listings now reads "Someone liked your listing" with its name, and opens the listing. A like on a sale reads "liked your 20% off sale" and opens the sale. A post you wrote still says "your post".
• Every listing's page in the app has a heart with its count, the same likes as the feed shows. You see the count on your own listings.

The shipping profile and order pages now link to your own post office's price calculator and label tool: Canada Post, Royal Mail or Australia Post. Shops elsewhere no longer see US-only links.

When a shopper's cart held part of a bundle, the only hint was a line of small grey text under the discount code. Most people never saw it. Now the cart says it where it matters.

• Under the item that's in the bundle, a box says what adding the rest saves, in money: "Add Tiny Momo and save $2.71", with your bundle's name and deal under it. The saving counts any sale you're running, so it's what checkout takes off.
• The missing pieces are in the box, with a picture, a name and a price, and an Add button. Two or more missing get one button, like "Add both · $13.53". A piece with options opens its page to pick one.
• Once the set is in the cart, the box becomes one line: "Momo set: you're saving $2.71", and each item in the set shows its new price with the old one crossed out.
• A piece shown in the box no longer also shows under You might also like.
• Your Buy more, save more offer is easier to see too: normal text with the saving in green, and a bar that fills as the cart gets closer, like the free shipping bar.

Give your members a post first, and open it to everyone on a date you pick. For example, a new pattern goes to members on Oct 1 and becomes public on Oct 15. Members get a reason to join, and the public post then shows people your Club.

• In a Club post, under Access, keep Non-members on Members only and turn on Open to everyone later. Pick the date and time (two weeks after it goes out unless you change it), whether everyone gets the full post or a preview with a way to join, and whether its files open too. Files stay with members unless you turn that on. The editor in the Crochetify app has the same form.
• Before the date, members see "Early access · public Oct 15" on the post. People outside your Club see it locked, with "Public Oct 15".
• On the date, the post opens to everyone by itself, within half an hour of the time you picked. Members aren't sent another email or notification.
• Once it's open, people who aren't members see "Club members got this on Oct 1" above the way to join.
• Your Club posts list shows "Public Oct 15" on the post. You can change or remove the date until it comes. After that it's an ordinary public post you can change by hand.

When your phone buzzed about a new follower or a like, the Crochetify app's Notifications page didn't show it. Now every notification has a row there, so you can find it again later.

• Your shop's news is in the same list as your own, with your shop's logo: new followers, saves of your listings, and likes on your posts, your Club posts and the comments you wrote as your shop. Tap one to open your shop's home in the app.
• Likes are grouped by day, like "3 people liked your post". As before, nobody's name is shown.
• When someone likes or answers a comment you wrote in another shop, that's a row too, and it opens the comment.
• Likes on your Club posts now count in your likes notification.

There's nothing to set up. Your notification settings still decide what buzzes your phone.

In the Crochetify app, swipe a conversation in your Club's Messages to the left to mark it read, or to mark it unread so it stays on your list to answer later. A short swipe shows the button and a long swipe does it. The dot in your dashboard's Messages follows.

A message you mark unread is one you have seen, so we don't email you about it again. The next message from that member still reaches you as usual.

Shoppers get the same swipe on their own messages and notifications, and a message now slides into the conversation as it is sent.

On a slow connection, photos in the Crochetify app used to fade in from a blank box. Now each one shows a soft blur of its colors first, then the photo fades in over it: in the Home feed, in Search, on a listing, on your shop's page and on Club posts.

There's nothing to do. Every photo you upload gets its preview, and your earlier photos have theirs.

Shoppers can now browse your shop in the Crochetify app by collection, and search it.

• Your collections show as a row of chips over your listings, in the order you set in Collections. A collection shows once it has a listing that is on the marketplace.
• A search field over your listings looks through your listing names. It works inside a collection too.
• If you sell both patterns and finished pieces, shoppers get a chip for each.
• The chips stay at the top while a shopper scrolls your listings.

You have nothing to set up. To change what shoppers see, edit your collections in your dashboard.

Ask your Club a question in a post, like "Which pattern should I make next?", and let your members vote.

• In the post editor, choose Add a poll. Write a question and 2 to 10 answers, drag them into order, and choose whether members can pick more than one. The editor in the Crochetify app has the same form.
• Choose when it closes: some days after the post is published (7 unless you change it), on a date and time, or never.
• Any member who can read the post can vote, on your site and in the app, and can change their vote until the poll closes. A member sees the percentages after they vote. Once it closes, everyone who can read the post sees the final results, with the top answer in bold.
• You see the results any time, in the post editor and on the post in the app. Nobody sees who voted, you included: a poll shows counts only.
• Once someone has voted, the question and answers are locked. You can still change the closing date, or choose Close poll to end it early.
• When a poll closes you get one notification with the result, like "Sleepy fox won with 15 of 31 votes".
• On a public post, people who aren't members see the answers greyed out with a way to join. The new-post email gets a Vote in the poll button, and a post with a poll says so in your Club's list, like "Poll · 23 votes".

A signed-in shopper who already bought one of your patterns is told so before they pay for it again, so you have fewer double purchases to refund.

• On the pattern's page they see "You bought this on Sep 3" with Download again, which opens that order's downloads. Buy again is still there for someone who wants a second copy.
• In the cart and at checkout the line reads "You already own this pattern" with Remove. It never blocks checkout.
• A free pattern they already have says "You have this" with Download again.
• The Crochetify app shows the same on a pattern's page.

The warning is only for shoppers who are signed in. An email typed at checkout is never checked, so nobody can find out what another person bought.

Write a welcome message on any Club tier, free or paid. When someone joins the tier, starts a free trial on it, moves up to it, or you move them to it or give it to them, it arrives as a message from you in their messages with your shop, by email or in the Crochetify app, and they can reply.

It goes once. Nobody gets it for moving down a tier, or again for leaving and coming back within 30 days. Links in it open when tapped. Your Messages mark it Sent automatically, and Club home stops asking you to say hello to someone it welcomed.

Your Club's free starter tier, Friends, comes with one for you to change. Find it in Club, Tiers: edit a tier and fill in Welcome message, with a preview under it of how it reads.

A discount for your Club members no longer needs a code. Members get it at checkout when they're signed in, without finding or typing anything.

• In Discounts, choose New member discount. The form's first question is who gets the discount: anyone with the code, or Club members, applied automatically. Pick every member or one tier and up, then set it like any other discount.
• A signed-in member sees their member price on your listings, with the regular price struck through. In the cart and at checkout a line reads "Club member discount (Gold)" with what it took off, and the same line is on the receipt and the order.
• A member who is signed out is asked to sign in from the cart. Shoppers who aren't members see what members get on the listings it covers, like "Club members on Gold get 15% off", with a link to join. You can turn that line off for each discount.
• Each tier on your Club page lists the discounts it gets, and Club home shows a member their discounts in place of the list of codes.
• You can run several at once, like 10% for every member and 20% for Gold. A member gets the best one. A member discount follows your setting for combining discounts with sales, and it never adds to a code a shopper types: the better of the two applies. Free shipping still works alongside.

Members' codes you already made are member discounts now, with the same terms. A member who types the old code is told it's already applied. To give members a code you share by hand, make an ordinary code and put it in a members-only post.

A listing marked Made for a custom order no longer shows in your shop. It's private: only your buyer can see it, by its link. It stays out of your shop, its search, your collections, your sitemap and the marketplace.

• Turn on Made for a custom order and the listing's status changes to Private. Copy the link from the editor and send it to your buyer, who can open it and check out.
• While the mark is on, the status can be Private or Draft. Set live from your products list makes a custom order private.
• Turn the mark off and the listing stays private. You can then make it Active.

Custom order listings that were active are now private. Their address didn't change, so links you already sent still work.

A Club tier can now have a monthly price and a yearly price, so you no longer need two tiers to offer both.

• In Club, Tiers, edit a tier and tick Monthly, Yearly or both. The form shows what a year saves, like "Yearly members save 17%, about two months free", and suggests ten months' price for a year.
• On your Club page, the Monthly and Yearly switch shows each tier at that price, and the Yearly side says what fans save.
• A member paying monthly can switch to yearly from their Club page. They pay today, less a credit for the days left of their month. A member paying yearly can switch to monthly, which starts when the year they paid for ends.
• Your members list and each member's page show whether they pay monthly or yearly.

Nothing changes by itself. Your tiers keep the price they have, members keep what they pay, and separate monthly and yearly tiers work as before.

Fix a typo or add a chart without breaking anyone's download. On a digital listing, click Replace beside a pattern file and choose the new one. It goes live at once, and every buyer's download link gives them the new version.

• After a replace, you choose whether to email the people who bought it, with a short note like "Fixed a typo in round 12." It's on by default. Turn it off for a fix nobody needs to hear about.
• Each buyer gets one email with your note and a button to their downloads. Anyone you blocked gets nothing.
• Buyers get at most one of these a day per pattern. Replace again within the day and the email waits until the day is up, with both notes in it. You can cancel an email while it waits.
• The listing's page shows each email you sent, like "Oct 1 · Sent to 48 buyers".
• On a buyer's order page, download page and account, a file you replaced after they bought it says "Updated Oct 1".

Turn on a free trial for any paid tier in Club, Tiers, and pick 7, 14 or 30 days. A fan tries the tier for free, and their first payment is taken when the trial ends.

• Trial members read your posts and join the comments. Their pattern files open after their first payment, and so do your Club members' discount codes. Files you opened to everyone, and files your free tier gets, stay open.
• Fans are told before they start: the tier card on your Club page says "7 days free, then $5 a month" and "Pattern files open after your first payment." Checkout says the same, with the day the trial ends.
• During the trial, every file on a post shows with its name and a lock, and the day it opens. On your site, Start paying now ends the trial today and opens the files at once.
• Three days before the first payment, the member gets an email with the date, the amount and how to cancel. Cancel during the trial and nothing is charged.
• Each fan gets one trial in your Club. Anyone who has paid or had a trial before joins at the normal price.
• Your members list shows "Free trial · ends Oct 8", you're told when someone starts a trial and when it becomes paid, and Club analytics counts trials started and how many became paid.
• Changing a trial only affects new joins. The Crochetify app shows no prices, so its tier cards don't mention trials.

A Coming soon listing with a release date now counts down on its page, on your site and in the Crochetify app: days, hours and minutes, then minutes and seconds in the last hour. The date shows in each shopper's own time zone.

When the countdown ends, the page shows the price and the buy button by itself. Shoppers do not need to reload.

A listing with no release date shows Coming soon and no countdown. Tiles in your shop show the date only.

On Home in the Crochetify app, a listing you add now shows as "New pattern" or "New piece" for a week. After that it shows as "Listed a pattern" or "Listed a piece" with the date you listed it. Before, a listing said New for two months.

Your listings from this week still come first among your posts on Home.

When a plan ends, the dashboard now locks until you pick a plan again. Nothing is deleted: your products, orders, customers and settings are kept, and they come back as they were when you subscribe.

A plan you cancel keeps everything open until the end of the time you paid for. A payment that fails keeps everything open while we retry your card.

While a dashboard is locked you can still:

• Fulfill, ship and refund your orders.
• Read and answer messages.
• Download your orders and customers as CSV files.
• Pick a plan, update your card, or close your shop.

When a shopper taps your shop in the Crochetify app, the top of your page is there as the screen slides in: your banner, logo, name, numbers and story, in your colors and font.

• Nothing moves after the page opens.
• A shop a shopper opened before opens at once the next time they launch the app.
• A photo that fails to load is tried again on its own, and again when the shopper pulls to refresh.

The Search tab in the Crochetify app now opens on a grid of listings, with the search field above it.

• A listing with a video shows as a tall tile, and the video plays without sound while it is on screen.
• Shoppers can narrow the grid with one tap: Patterns, Free, or a category.
• Recent searches, trending searches and the category tiles show when a shopper taps the search field.

Add a video to a listing from its edit page and it can show up this way.

Your Club in the Crochetify app got a round of fixes for members. They arrive with the next app update.

• A post has a bar at the bottom with the comment box and a heart beside it, so a member can like and comment from one place. The heart there and the one at the top always match. The count shows how many liked it, never who.
• A locked post shows a blurred picture with a lock: its cover, or your shop's banner when it has no cover, or your shop's color. Under it, one card names the tier the post is for and lists up to three of that tier's perks, with the button to join or upgrade and See all tiers.
• The share card is a full picture with the post's title in large type over it, then your logo, your name and your Club's address. Every post's card shows its title. The card never shows a post's text, and a members-only cover stays blurred on it.
• The share screen is full size, with Copy link, Save image, Messages and More in one row. Messages opens the phone's Messages app with the card attached and the link in the text.
• A member can add photos to the first message they send you from your Club, as they can in the conversation after it.
• Member, Message and Shop on your Club are the same size, and the tier card shows the tier's full name with an Upgrade or See tiers button.
• On the Clubs tab, your own Club is the first circle in the row at the top. It reads Yours and opens your Club, with a dot while comments wait for you. Before your Club is open it reads Start yours and opens the setup. Saved posts moved to a bookmark at the top.

Show a pattern or a piece before it's for sale, and see how many people are waiting for it.

• Set a listing's status to Coming soon. It shows on your site and on your shop's page in the Crochetify app with its photos, name and description, and a Notify me button where the price would be. Nobody can buy it yet.
• Add a release date and time and it goes on sale by itself at that minute. Leave the date empty and you release it when you're ready by setting it to Active.
• Shoppers tap Notify me, or leave their email on your site. When the listing goes on sale each of them gets one email, and a notification if they use the app. They are not added to your mailing list.
• Products shows how many are waiting for each one. After release it shows how many were waiting and how many of them bought. You see counts, never who.

Your Club reads more like Patreon now, for members on your site and in the Crochetify app.

• Members can like a post. The heart shows how many liked it, and never who, to anyone, you included.
• Members can save a post for later. Saves are theirs alone: no count shows anywhere. In the app, Saved posts on the Clubs tab lists them; on your site, a Saved section sits on their Club home.
• Share on a post opens a sheet with a story-sized card: the post's cover, its title, your logo and name and your Club's address. Copy the link, save the card to Photos, send it to Instagram Stories, or share it anywhere. The same card is the link preview when the post's address is pasted into a message. The card never shows the members-only text, and a locked post's cover stays blurred on it.
• A member sees their tier at a glance, with See tiers beside it, and every tier lists its perks with Your tier marked and Upgrade on the ones above theirs. The app shows no prices; your site does.
• A locked post with no cover shows a panel in your shop's color instead of an empty grey box, with Upgrade to or Join and the tier's name.
• You can pin a post to the top from the post in the app, and the post says Pinned under its title, as the cards do.

Your Club in the Crochetify app now has a messages icon at the top. It opens your conversations with members: one row per member, newest first, with their last message and tier. A berry dot shows while a member's message is waiting for you.

• Open a conversation to read and reply, with photos if you like. Your messages are on the right, theirs on the left. Reading it here marks it read in your dashboard's Messages too.
• Today on your Club shows "1 new message" with who wrote and what they said. Tap it to open the conversation, or your Club's messages when several members are waiting.
• The pencil opens your members, and Message on any member starts the conversation. Message on a member's page opens it in the app now, not in My Shop.
• A notification about a member's message opens the conversation in the app.
• The numbers on your Club are buttons now: Members and This week open your members, and This month opens your analytics.

Only current members show here. When a membership ends, the conversation stays in your dashboard's Messages.

A Club post can now carry a video. The Video button in the post editor takes a YouTube link, or a video from your computer that we host for you.

• A video you upload plays only for people who can read the post. The link it streams from is signed for each reader and stops working after a few hours, so a locked post stays locked.
• Members watch it in the post on your site and in the Crochetify app. The new-post email says there's a video and opens the post.
• A YouTube video is as private as its link: anyone who has the link can watch it on YouTube, so use an unlisted video for members-only content with that in mind.
• A GIF works as a post's cover or as a photo in a post, and it keeps moving on your site and in the app.

In the Crochetify app, "In 65 shoppers' carts right now" was small grey text under the price. It's now in the berry, bold, with a cart in front of it.

• A new line says who bought: "12 people bought this in the past week". It counts distinct buyers on paid orders from the last 7 days. Refunded orders and your own orders don't count.
• A listing with more than one line fades between them every few seconds: carts, then bought, then saved. Shoppers with Reduce Motion on see the first line and nothing moves.
• Listing tiles on Home, Search, a shop's page, Saved and under feed posts now carry a short line too: "In 65 carts" or "12 bought this week". A quiet piece shows nothing, so its tile looks as it did.

As before, nothing shows under 3 shoppers, and the switch in Marketing > Settings turns every line off. Your website keeps its own line.

Tick Club members only on a discount code, and only your Club members can use it at checkout. Pick a tier, and members of that tier and higher tiers can use it.

• Anyone else who enters the code is told it's for your Club members, with a link to join your Club.
• Your members need to be signed in to your Club when they check out. A shopper who isn't signed in is asked to sign in.
• The code still shows on your members' Club page as a perk, so they can find it there.

This box used to be called Members perk, and a ticked code worked for anyone at checkout. Codes that already have it ticked now work only for your Club members. Untick it on any code you want everyone to use.

Every order now has a Message buyer button. Use it to write to that buyer about their order: a delay, a color question, a custom detail.

• They get your message by email, with a link to answer on your site. If they use the Crochetify app, it comes there.
• Their reply lands in your Messages. A new conversation shows "From an order". The conversation doesn't name the order, so mention it in your message.
• A buyer who already wrote to you continues that same conversation, and they can answer with chat turned off.
• It's one buyer at a time. People you blocked can't be messaged.

When you write first, to a buyer, a reviewer or a Club member, the email now says your shop sent them a message instead of saying you replied.

When your shop has a banner, its page in the Crochetify app now opens on the photo or video at the very top of the screen, under the clock and battery. Back and share float over it on small dark circles, the way the Club page's back button does.

• A soft fade over the top of the photo keeps the clock readable over a light photo and a dark one.
• Once the photo scrolls away, the bar fills in with your shop's color, logo and name, as before.
• Pulling down stretches the photo instead of opening a gap above it.

Shops with no banner look the same as before.

Members of your Club can now start a conversation with you. On your site, their Club has a "Message" button next to billing. In the Crochetify app, it's at the top of your Club and in Club settings.

• It works with chat turned off. The chat switch is for strangers, and your members can always write to you.
• A member who already wrote to you as a shopper continues that same conversation.
• A new conversation shows "From your Club" in your Messages, and you hear about it the way you hear about any message.
• Only active members get the button. You don't see it on your own Club, and people you blocked can't use it.

Approving your shop still puts everything you list on the Crochetify marketplace, with nothing to submit and nothing to wait for. Now we also look at each new listing after it goes up.

If one doesn't fit, we take that one listing off the marketplace and tell you why, by email and in the app. It stays on your website, and the rest of your shop stays on the marketplace.

• The listing's page in your dashboard says "Off the marketplace" with our reason and note, and your Products list labels it.
• If it's something you can fix, like a photo, change it and tap Ask to put it back. We look at it again and tell you either way.
• If it's the item itself, it stays on your website only.

We also wrote down what every marketplace listing needs: your own work, a photo and a description, shown clearly, described honestly, well made, modest, and nothing offensive. Read it in the marketplace policy at crochetify.app/marketplace-policy.

Shoppers scrolling Home in the Crochetify app now meet a themed shelf of patterns between posts: Spooky season through October, then Christmas makes, Plushie pals all year, and more as the seasons turn. One theme a day, up to eight patterns, with the most popular first.

• Your pattern is on a shelf when it's on the marketplace and in the theme's category. File it under the right category in Dashboard > Marketplace.
• No shop takes more than two of the eight tiles, so a shelf always shows several makers.
• "See all" opens Search on the theme's category with Patterns on, where every one of yours is listed.

Holiday themes count down: "31 days to Halloween".

A listing can now be Private. It isn't in your shop, search, collections, the Crochetify marketplace or the app, but anyone you send its link to can see it and buy it, with a normal checkout and no Club membership.

• Choose Private (link only) under Status when you add or edit a listing, then copy its link from the same spot.
• Send it to pattern testers, regular customers, your email list, or one buyer for a custom piece.
• Search engines don't index a private listing.

When you're ready, set it to Active to release it. Its link stays the same, it shows in your shop, and your followers hear about it as a new listing that day.

Shoppers can now find free patterns in the app. Search opens on a "Free patterns" tile that shows three of them and how many there are, and tapping it lists them all.

• A "Free" chip sits next to Patterns above every search, so a shopper looking for a bunny can narrow it to free ones.
• The Shops tab lists the shops with a free pattern, so a free pattern brings shoppers to your shop.
• Each tile says "Free", and the pattern's page offers "Get the free pattern" as before.

A pattern counts as free when it is a $0 download, including a pay-what-you-want pattern with a $0 minimum, the same rule as the Free patterns page on the website.

The photo or video at the top of your shop's page in the Crochetify app now meets your header color edge to edge, every time the page opens.

• Before, the first open could leave a gray bar under the photo, or a thin line between the photo and your color.
• The banner is its final height from the first moment, so the page no longer jumps as the photo loads.
• A video banner starts on its still and fades into the video in the same spot.

Shops with a plain white page look the same as before.

Product cards on your link-in-bio page now show the same price as your shop. A pay-what-you-want pattern shows its minimum ("$5") instead of "Name your price", and a free pattern says "Free" instead of "$0".

A free pattern's button reads "Get the free pattern" instead of "Buy now". It opens the pattern's page on your shop, where shoppers get it.

The preview in the bio editor shows the same.

A pattern that's free with an optional tip (pay what you want, with a $0 minimum) now reads "Free" on your shop's listings and product page, in the Crochetify app, and on your promo images. Before, it said "Name your price", which made it look paid.

In the app, its button reads "Get the free pattern" instead of "Buy now", and the line under the price says "Free, or add a tip to support the maker." The button still opens your shop, where shoppers can add a tip.

A pay-what-you-want pattern with a minimum above $0 still shows that minimum and Buy now.

Shoppers who follow your shop in the Crochetify app now get a notification within half an hour of your news, not in one roundup a day.

• A new listing, or one notification for a batch: "Maya's Makes listed 3 new pieces."
• A new post in your feed. It shows in their Notifications too.
• A new Club post, and a scheduled one when it goes live.
• A scheduled sale when it starts.
• Price drops, restocks and last-few-left on your pieces they saved.

Nobody gets more than six of these a day, and none come between 9pm and 9am where they are. What waits comes as one notification at 9am.

Your count of new saves, likes and followers comes sooner too. The first one comes within 15 minutes ("Someone saved Bumblebee Amigurumi"), then at most one every 3 hours with the totals. It never says who.

When a free member joins your Club, the notification now names the tier: "Free follower tier".

In the Crochetify app, swipe left or right on any tab to move to the one beside it: Home, Search, Clubs, Saved, You. The bar still works the way it did.

• Each tab keeps its place, so you come back to the same spot.
• Rows that scroll sideways still scroll, and once you open a listing, a shop or a post, the swipe from the left edge still goes back.

Every notification Crochetify sends now follows one rule: money and safety always come by email, news that happens now comes to the app first, and your plan's billing comes by email only.

• A custom order request and a reported comment now come to your phone as well as your email.
• When your payouts are paused until you send more details, you get an email and a notification that list what is needed, and open Payments.
• Your plan's payment reminders no longer come to your phone. They stay in your email.
• Club members who use the Crochetify app hear about a new post in the app's daily roundup instead of an email as well. Members without the app still get the email.
• Your message to Club members also shows on the phones of members who use the app, and they still get the email.
• Buyers who use the app get your review request there instead of by email. Everyone else still gets the email.
• Shoppers without the app now get an email when you reply to their comment. Shoppers with the app get it on their phone, as before.
• Members now hear on their phone when a payment to your Club fails, and when your Club is closing.

Shoppers who follow your shop or save your pieces but don't use the Crochetify app now get a weekly email with your news. Before, only the app told them.

• New listings and any sale you start, with photos of your newest pieces.
• Price drops, restocks and last-few-left on pieces they saved.
• It comes once a week at most, and only when there's news. Every link opens your own site.

Shoppers who use the app still get it as one notification a day, not an email as well.

The + at the top of Home in the Crochetify app now opens the new post screen right away, on your camera roll. The Create menu in between is gone.

• Over the photos: Photos, Share a listing (puts one of your listings in the post) and Drafts, your saved feed posts with the date each was saved. Tap a draft to finish it.
• At the bottom: Post, Club post and Listing. Club post opens the Club post editor and Listing opens the new listing editor. If your Club has no tier yet, the middle one says Set up Club and opens Club home.
• If you've picked photos or written a caption, the app asks before it leaves the post: Save draft, Discard or Keep editing.

Your Club's drafts and scheduled posts are now under Today on your Club's screen in the app.

We now tell you about a few things that used to happen quietly.

• New reviews: when a customer leaves one, so you can approve it.
• Low stock: when a listing runs low or sells out after a sale, once each time. Setting the stock by hand starts it over.
• Chargebacks: when a customer disputes a payment with their bank, by email and in the app, with the date you need to respond by. The order page shows where the dispute stands.

Reviews and low stock come to your phone if you use the Crochetify app, or by email if you don't. They wait until 9am if they arrive at night. Chargebacks always come by email, right away.

Your customers hear more too: an email when you refund or cancel their order, and a notification in the app when you refund it or when USPS marks it delivered.

If you use the Crochetify app, the notification about new followers now counts saves and likes too: "12 new saves, 5 likes and 3 new followers." It comes once a day at 10am where you are, only on a day with something new, and it never says who.

• Likes are the hearts on your posts and on comments you wrote.
• Your own saves, likes and follows never count.
• Tap it to see your shop's numbers on Home.

Turn it off in Settings, Notifications, under Likes and followers.

The support chat in your dashboard now takes photos. Attach up to four to any message, with or without text: a screenshot of what went wrong, a photo of the piece you want on your homepage, or the look you have in mind for your shop.

• Photos show in the chat and in the email we get, so you no longer need to describe a screenshot in words.
• We can send photos back the same way, so a reply can show you where a setting is instead of telling you.

On your own shop page in the Crochetify app, tap the followers number to see who follows your shop, newest first. Only you can open the list. Shoppers see the number and nothing more, the same as saves and likes.

• A follower who runs a shop on the marketplace shows as that shop, and a tap opens it. Anyone else shows their photo and first name with last initial, like "Sherly S.". You never see an email.
• Someone you blocked leaves the list and the count, and comes back if you lift the block.
• Tapping the listings number now jumps down to your Listings tab, for you and for shoppers, the way the rating opens Reviews.

If you use the Crochetify app, news about your shop now comes to your phone instead of your inbox, so you get one notification, not a notification and an email.

• Customer messages, comments on your posts, Club members who join free or leave, setup reminders, and replies from the Crochetify team come as a notification.
• If a customer's message is still unread after an hour, we email it to you too.
• Orders, refunds, payouts and your plan still come by email, as always.

Choose what comes to your phone in Settings, Notifications, on the web or in the app. Anything you turn off, or anything we send while you haven't opened the app in 30 days, comes by email.

Shoppers who open your shop in the Crochetify app now see it in your own colors and font, the ones you already picked for your website in Customize. There is nothing new to set up.

• The top of your shop page, from the status bar down through your Club row, is your header color, with your name in your heading font. Visit shop is your button color, and your Club row sits on your card color. Your listings, posts and reviews stay in the app's own style.
• Your Club carries more of your brand: the top of it is your header color, your tier names and post titles are in your font, and your color replaces the app's pink for the join buttons, checks and links inside it.
• Text picks dark or light on its own so it always reads, and a shop with a plain white header looks the same as before.

A shopper who bought from you can now leave a review from their purchase in the Crochetify app, with the same form as your website's review page: a star rating, their name, what they thought, and up to four photos. Before, the app only showed reviews, and a buyer who downloaded a pattern in the app never saw the website's review button.

• The review rows appear once a pattern is paid for, or once you mark a physical order shipped, the same rule as your order page.
• Reviews from the app land in your Reviews queue like every other, and wait for your approval before they show on your shop. A buyer can change theirs until you approve it.
• If you thank reviewers with a discount code, the code still goes out by email. The app only thanks them: Apple's rules keep money-off offers for digital items out of the app.

Home and the Explore grid on Search in the Crochetify app now keep showing shoppers pieces they haven't seen. Before, Home only showed each shop's four newest listings from the last two months, and Explore showed everyone the same grid in the same order.

• Home now works through all of your listings over time. New listings still come first. Older ones show as "Listed a pattern" or "Listed a piece" with the date you listed them.
• Each time a shopper opens Search or pulls to refresh, Explore shows a new mix of shops and pieces, with the ones they haven't seen first.
• Your own shop's listings and sales no longer show on your Home feed or in Explore. Your own posts still show on Home.

The Pattern delivery card on an order said the download link had been emailed even when it hadn't, such as on an order that wasn't paid yet. The download email goes out once an order is paid, and the card now says what happened.

• Waiting on payment: not sent yet. The link goes out when the payment comes through.
• Canceled or expired: not sent, because the order wasn't paid.
• Paid with no buyer email: not sent. Add their email under Customer to send it.

Orders where the email was sent, or failed, look the same as before.

In the Crochetify app, a shopper who tapped Buy now on one of your listings had to sign in before they could reach your shop. Now they can skip it: the sign-in prompt has a Continue button that opens your website, where they check out as a guest, the same as anywhere else.

Signing in is still offered: a shopper who checks out with the email they sign in with sees the order, or the pattern, in the app. Saving, following, liking, commenting, messaging, and joining your Club still need an account.

On a phone, a long shop name used to end in three dots in your website's header. Now it shows in full: a name that is too long for one line takes a second line, a little smaller.

• To make room, the Saved and Account icons moved into the menu on phones. The cart stays in the header. Every shop gets the menu button on phones now, even one with no menu links.
• Your header on a computer is unchanged.

The phone in your Share your website graphic held a photo of the top of your homepage. On many themes that is the hero alone, so none of your listings were in it. The photo now scrolls to your first row of listings, with your header still at the top, so the picture shows what you sell.

A shop whose listings already show on the first screen looks the same as before. The next time you open Promote, we take a fresh photo.

The Crochetify app now has the same five tabs for everyone: Home, Search, Clubs, Saved, You. If you run a shop, the Create button is a plus at the top of Home, left of the bell, and it opens the same menu as before: a feed post, a Club post, or a listing.

• Saved is back on your tab bar, so your saved pieces and the shops you follow are one tap away. The Saved row on You stays too.
• New post on your shop's Posts tab still works as a second way to post.

In the Crochetify app, the photos at the top of a listing's page are no longer cut to a square. The gallery takes the shape of your first photo, from a tall 4:5 to a wide 1.91:1, the way a post in the feed does.

• A photo that is a different shape from the gallery shows in full, over a blurred copy of itself. A tall pattern page keeps its top and bottom without a tap to open it.
• Every photo in the gallery shares the first photo's frame, so the page does not change height as shoppers swipe.
• A listing opened from a tile or a post opens at its photo's height right away.

In the Crochetify app on iPhone, the Website and Dashboard buttons under My shop no longer show tiny labels when your phone uses a text size other than the default.

Shop names and page titles that shrink to fit their space get the same fix.

Your Orders list and your dashboard used to show an order as Awaiting payment as soon as a shopper opened checkout, even if they left without paying. Now an order shows up once the shopper pays. A checkout someone leaves is never an order.

• Some payments, like a bank debit, take a few days to clear. Those orders show as Payment pending, so you know one is coming. Wait until it shows Paid to ship it. If the payment fails, the order goes away.
• A Payment pending order can't be canceled, because the bank can't stop the payment once it's sent. If you can't fill the order, refund it once it's paid.
• The Awaiting payment filter on Orders is now Payment pending.

The marketplace's photo rule is now a short product photo policy. Every photo must show the real piece you're selling, as it is, with nothing AI-generated anywhere in the image.

• Fine: cropping, straightening, and adjusting lighting, brightness, contrast, and color.
• Fine: removing a background, as long as the new background is transparent or plain white.
• Not fine: a product photo made by AI, anything AI-generated added to a photo (a background, scenery, props), or a real background swapped for an AI one.

If you removed a background and put a different one in its place, change it to transparent or plain white, or use the original photo. You do not need to apply again. Your own website is not affected. Read the policy at crochetify.app/marketplace-policy.

Fans who can't read a Club post yet now see its cover blurred, with a lock on it, in the Crochetify app and on your Club page. Before, a members-only post showed only its title. Your photo stays safe: the clear cover only goes to members who can read the post.

• In the app, a locked post opens on one box over its blurred cover. It says which tier the post is for, how many files members get when the post is public, and how to join.
• The Membership tab lists your perks without the bullets you typed, so each perk has one check. It also says how many posts each paid tier opens that the fan can't read yet.
• A Club with no banner photo now opens on your logo beside your shop's name, and every post cover shows at its own shape.

A shopper who buys one of your patterns can now download it from their Crochetify account at crochetify.app/account. Each pattern order there lists its files, and they download whether your shop is open or not.

• If your shop is turned off, or goes offline after your plan ends, the download and order links in your buyers' emails take them to their account instead of the Crochetify home page. They sign in with the email they used at checkout, and their files are there.
• While your shop is open, those links work as before and open the order on your site.
• A refunded order has no downloads.

Search on Crochetify now matches the start of a word, so a shopper who types part of your shop's name finds your shop, and nothing that only has those letters inside another word. Search reads each listing's title, its categories and its shop's name.

• In the Crochetify app, the Shops tab of a search lists the shops whose name matches first, then the shops that make what was searched for, with photos of the pieces that match.
• As a shopper types, the app suggests matching shop names and categories under the search bar.
• Search treats a plural and its singular as the same word, knows a few crochet words that mean the same thing (plushie and amigurumi, beanie and hat), and forgives one wrong letter in a longer word.

Club now has a Settings page. Pause your Club to take a break: new fans can't join and nobody is charged, while your members keep reading. Resume it whenever you're ready.

Or close your Club for good. Renewals stop that day, so nobody is charged again. Free members lose access, and paid members keep reading until the time they paid for runs out. Every member gets one email that says when their access ends, with a note from you if you write one. Once the last paid time runs out, the Club is deleted. A Club nobody is in is deleted right away.

Deleting your shop now shows what goes with it: your Club members, your Club posts and any open orders. Open orders need to be fulfilled or refunded first. If your Club has paid members, your shop goes offline and is deleted once their paid time runs out, and you can keep it until then. You can also close your shop for a while or pause your Club from the same place.

In the Crochetify app, a post in the feed is now the shape of its first photo. A square pattern cover makes a square post and a wide photo makes a wide one, from a tall 4:5 to a wide 1.91:1.

• A photo that is a different shape from the post still shows in full. The space around it is now a blurred copy of the photo instead of a light gray.
• Shoppers can tap a photo to see all of the post's photos full screen. The name and price of your listing open its page.
• When a shopper pinches a photo to zoom in, it lifts out of the post and shows all of the photo.

In the Crochetify app, a post about a sale with more pieces than it shows ends with a link like See all 19 in the shop. That link now opens your shop page on the 19 pieces in the sale, instead of every listing.

A chip at the top of your listings says On sale, with how many pieces are in the sale. Shoppers tap it to see everything else you have listed. The notification your followers get when a sale starts opens the same way.

In the Crochetify app, the numbers beside your logo now always show your listings, reviews and followers. When your shop has none of one, it shows 0 instead of leaving it out, so every shop page has the same layout.

In the Crochetify app, the banner on your shop page now runs the full width of the screen in your photo's own shape. A tall photo makes a taller banner and fills it, centered on the part you chose in Customize, instead of sitting as a narrow strip with blurred sides. Your hero's video shows the same way.

If your website's hero has no photo or video, your shop page opens on your logo and name, with no banner. To show one, add a photo or video to your hero in Customize, or choose a photo for the app or listing photos in Store details, under Banner in the app.

The Club band on your home page is now a homepage section. In Customize, open Homepage sections to move it, hide it, or change its heading, text and button. It sits under your products.

When you open your own Club page, a bar at the top says it's your Club and that you see every post and file. Use View as in that bar to see your Club as a fan who hasn't joined, or as a member on any of your tiers. Nothing you tap joins or charges anyone while you look.

In the Crochetify app, shoppers can swipe left or right on your shop page to move between Listings, Posts and Reviews, the way tabs work on Instagram. The line under the tabs follows their finger.

The same swipe works on your Club page, between Posts, Collections and Membership, and in Search, between Items and Shops.

In the Crochetify app, the feed no longer cuts off the edges of a photo that is a different shape from the post.

• A square pattern cover, a tall tester graphic or a wide photo now shows in full, on a light gray background. When a shopper pinches it to zoom in, they see all of it too.
• Photos close to the post's shape, like the ones a phone camera takes, still fill the post.

You now choose the banner at the top of your shop's page in the Crochetify app. Go to Settings, then Store details, then Banner in the app. In the app, tap Edit shop on your shop's page.

• Use your website's hero, upload a photo just for the app, or show photos of three of your listings.
• The preview shows your banner the way shoppers see it, with your logo in place. Drag the photo to choose what stays in view.
• Turn on Show the whole photo to show all of a photo that is a different shape, like a collage, over a soft blur of itself. Photos much taller than the banner do this for you.
• A banner photo is best at 1500 × 500 pixels. Keep words and key details in the middle, clear of your logo in the bottom-left corner.
• If your website's hero has a video, it now plays in the banner, silently and on a loop.
• Pick which listings show, or let the app show your three most-saved listings.

The numbers beside your logo also have more space under the banner now.

In the Crochetify app, the My shop buttons on the You tab no longer split a word onto a second line when your phone uses larger text.

Shop page is now one wide button, with Website and Dashboard side by side under it. At the largest text sizes, each button gets its own line.

In the Crochetify app, your comments on your own posts now show a picture beside your shop's name.

• On a Club post, your comment shows your shop's logo.
• On a feed post, your comment shows your profile photo, so shoppers see who makes the pieces. If you have no profile photo, it shows your logo.

To add a profile photo, open Settings in the app and tap Add a photo.

Open your Club in the Crochetify app and you run it from the same page your members read. You no longer need to open My Shop for day-to-day Club work.

• Today shows what needs you: a reported comment, and the members who joined this week.
• Numbers shows your members, who joined this week and what your members pay each month. See all opens your full analytics.
• Make a collection, rename it, add posts and drag them into order, all in the app.
• Members lists everyone by tier, with failed payments at the top. Open a member to message them, or tap Manage to move their tier, give free months, cancel or refund.
• Membership shows how many members each tier has. Edit tier and Add tier open your tier form.
• View as a member shows your Club the way a member on your top tier sees it.

Comments are answered on the post. Reply, or press and hold a comment to hide it, block the person or delete it. A reported comment has Hide and Keep under it, and Keep is on your comments page here too. When a member comments, the notification opens the post at their comment.

In the Crochetify app, comments on your feed posts now slide up over the post, so shoppers read and reply without leaving it.

• Drag the comments up to see more, or swipe them down to close them.
• Shoppers double tap a comment to like it, and press and hold it to report it. Your own comments say Maker after your shop's name.
• Long threads show the first reply, with the rest one tap away.
• Quick reactions like ❤️ and 🧶 sit over the comment box.

When a shopper comments on your post, the notification now opens the post in the app with that comment showing. When someone answers a shopper's comment, their notification works the same way.

Tap Create in the Crochetify app to see a new layout. Feed post, Club post and Listing are at the top, and your newest feed posts show under them as photos.

• Drafts come first, with a Draft tag. Tap a draft to finish it, or a post to edit or delete it.
• See all opens the Posts tab of your shop page.
• If your Club is set up, Club posts is under your photos, with your drafts and published posts.

Your shop's page in the Crochetify app has a new layout. Shoppers see your listings sooner, and your posts show as a grid of photos.

• The top shows your banner photo. If your shop has no banner photo, the app shows your three newest listing photos in its place.
• Your logo sits beside three numbers: your listings, your star rating with your review count, and your followers.
• Listings, Posts and Reviews each have a tab. Tap a photo in Posts to open the post.
• To see your own page, tap Shop page on the My shop card on the You tab. You get Edit shop, Website and Dashboard in place of Follow and Message.
• Your Posts tab starts with New post, then your drafts. Your feed posts are here now, not under Your posts.
• If your shop isn't on the marketplace yet, you can still open your page. A note at the top tells you why shoppers can't see it, with a link to your Marketplace page.

Tap Create in the app and choose Feed post. It opens on your camera roll, not a form.

• Pick up to 8 photos, or switch to A listing to share one of your listings.
• Write your caption, turn comments on or off, then Post or Save draft. Tap a photo to describe it for shoppers who use a screen reader.
• Your posts shows everything you've posted, with drafts first and the number of likes on each post. Tap a draft to finish it, or a post to edit or delete it.
• Club posts and listings still use the full editor from your dashboard, now laid out for the app, with Publish or Save at the top.

A post made in the app shows in your dashboard, and a post made in your dashboard shows in the app.

In the Crochetify app, a shopper can now double tap a photo in your post to like it, the way they do on Instagram. A heart shows over the photo and the count under the post goes up.

• A double tap only likes. It never takes a like away, and it never saves the piece.
• Tapping a long caption opens the rest, and tapping it again closes it. Your shop's About text in the app works the same way.
• Your own posts don't take a double tap.

The heart under a post in the Crochetify app now does one thing: it likes the post. Before, on a post about a listing, it saved the listing instead.

• Every post has a heart now: what you write, a listing you share, and the New listing and On sale posts the app makes for your shop. The number beside it is how many shoppers like the post.
• To save a piece, shoppers tap the bookmark. It's at the end of the row under a post about one piece, beside each piece in a sale, and on every listing in Search, your shop page and the listing page.
• Saved works as before. The listing page still says how many shoppers saved it.
• Who liked or saved something stays private. On your own posts you see the like count and no bookmark.
• Your shop's website doesn't change. Its hearts still save.

The words under a post's photos in the Crochetify app now read in one order, with no lines between them.

• The listing's name comes first, then one line with what it is and its star rating.
• Your words come next, after your shop's name. A long message shows two lines and ends in more, which opens the rest.
• The comments link is last.
• Tapping the rating opens the listing's reviews. The listing's description and the full review are no longer in the post. The listing page has both.

You can now take something off when a shopper buys two or more of your listings together, like a big and a tiny version of the same pattern. There's no code to share and no combined listing to make.

• Go to Discounts, then Create bundle. Pick the listings, set a percentage or an amount off, and add dates if you want it to start or end.
• Each listing's page says Buy together and save, with a button that adds the rest of the set to the cart.
• The discount comes off in the cart once every listing is in it. Two of each gets it twice.
• A bundle and a sale never add up. If a 25% sale and a 15% bundle both cover an item, the shopper gets 25%, not 40%.
• Orders, receipts and the new-order email show which bundle applied, and Discounts shows the orders each bundle brought in.

A post with your own photos had no heart in the Crochetify app, so shoppers had no way to like it. Now it has one.

• The number beside the heart is how many shoppers like the post. Who liked it stays private.
• Posts in your dashboard shows the likes on each post, next to its comments.
• A post that shares a listing keeps the heart it had: it saves the listing.

Shoppers buying something you ship can now tick This is a gift at checkout and write a short note for the person getting it.

• The order says Gift, with the note, on the order page, in the new-order email, and in the notification on your phone.
• A gift order prints a gift packing slip: one half has your logo, the order, who it ships to and what's in the box, and the other half has the note, a photo of the item and a QR code to your shop. No prices. Fold it in half and put it in the box.
• Visits from that QR code show in Analytics as Packing slip.
• The buyer still gets their receipt and emails as usual. It's on for every shop, and you can turn it off in Settings > Shipping.

You can now block a person who makes you uncomfortable. Open their conversation in Messages, tap the menu at the top, and choose Block.

• A blocked person can't message you, order from you, join your email list or Club, or open your shop's website.
• Their conversation leaves your inbox, and your shop stops emailing them.
• Settings > Blocked people lists everyone you blocked. You can block by email there too, and unblock anyone.

Home in the Crochetify app used to stop after 30 posts, so once more shops posted, some were rarely seen. Now more posts load as shoppers scroll, until they have seen them all.

• Every shop gets one turn before any shop shows twice. On your turn, shoppers see your newest post.
• Shops that post come before shops that don't. With no new post to show, your turn shows a new listing or a sale instead.
• Shoppers who follow you see your shop near the top every time they open Home.
• Posts shoppers are saving and commenting on move up.
• After you add a listing, you're asked if you want to post it to the feed. Yes opens a post of it, ready to share.

Until now a cart reminder could only go to a shopper who typed their email at checkout. Now your shop also knows a shopper who joined your list or downloaded a free pattern, so their cart can be reminded too.

• A cart still waiting two days after the first reminder gets one more note, and no more. Anyone who unsubscribed is never emailed.
• On Marketing, attach one of your discount codes to that second note. It shows the code and its terms. Off unless you turn it on.
• The Abandoned carts card now shows how many open carts have an email, reminders sent, carts that came back, and what they were worth.

Shoppers save your pieces, open your shop from the marketplace and the app, and buy. Now you can see it.

• Products shows how many shoppers saved each piece, and a piece's edit page says so at the top. Who saved it stays private.
• Your dashboard home has a From Crochetify row: visitors from the marketplace, visitors from the app, saves, and orders that came through Crochetify, over the last 30 days. Marketplace shows the same numbers once your shop is on.
• On Pro, Analytics puts orders and sales beside every traffic source, so you can see what the marketplace, the app, Instagram or Google sold, not only who they sent.

Members now have Club settings for your Club in the Crochetify app. They open from the gear on your Club's banner, or by tapping their tier.

• Members can turn off your post emails, or your posts in the app's daily roundup and Updates, without leaving your Club. Your posts still show on your Club for them.
• Every post email now has an unsubscribe link, and Gmail and Apple Mail show their own Unsubscribe button. Either one stops emails from your Club only, and the member stays a member.
• A member on a free tier can leave from the app. Your member count and list update, and you get an email that they left, like you do when someone cancels.

Paid members still manage billing and cancel on your site.

Anyone can make a free account in the Crochetify app to shop, save pieces and follow shops. Selling is their choice, made after: a new account is asked once, and Start selling stays on the You tab.

• Start selling says what a shop includes, then names it, picks what it sells and sets its address.
• A shop set up in the app is kept. Its card on the You tab opens the setup again until it is finished.
• It is the same account the maker shops with, so saves, follows and purchases stay where they are.

Every video on a listing now has a page of its own on your site, and your sitemap tells Google about it. Google can list it as a video result, with your listing a click away.

• Open a listing on your site and look under the photos: Watch the video opens the video's page.
• Your hero video gets a page too.
• Nothing to set up. Videos you add later get a page the moment the listing is live.

The Clubs tab in the Crochetify app now opens on your members' posts. Your Club's logo sits in a row at the top, with a ring when you've posted since they last looked, and your posts show under it as full-width cards with their cover photos.

• Fans who haven't joined find your Club under More clubs, led by the cover photo of your newest public post. A public post with a photo shows them what your Club is like.
• For you, your Club sits at the top of the tab with your member count and the comments waiting for you. Manage opens it in My Shop, or Set up while no tier is published.

Group your Club posts into collections, like a Start here for new members, a month of free patterns or your videos. A post can be in more than one. Find them under Club > Club collections.

• Give a collection a title, a short description and a cover. With no cover, it shows its first post's.
• Drag posts into the order fans read them, and drag the collections into the order they show in.
• Add a post to a collection while you write it, from the Club collections box in the post editor.

Fans see your collections in a Collections tab on your Club in the Crochetify app, and on your Club page on your site. A collection doesn't change who reads what: each post keeps its own access. Fans outside your Club see the public posts and how many more are for members, and a member sees the posts above their tier locked. A collection with no published post stays hidden from fans until one is.

When the Crochetify app starts, the logo now gives way to Home, or to My Shop if that's where you left off. Before, a blank screen came first and Home moved in over it.

You could follow your own shop and save your own pieces, and each one counted as a shopper in your numbers. Now they don't.

• If you followed your own shop, that follow is gone, and your follower count went down by one.
• Saves you made of your own pieces are gone from their counts too.
• In the Crochetify app, your shop shows Manage shop or Your shop where shoppers see Follow. It opens My Shop.
• The heart on your own posts and pieces shows how many shoppers saved them, but you can't tap it. You can still open your posts, read and reply to comments, and share them.
• Your taps on your own shop in the app, and pieces you add to your cart on your own site while signed in, don't count toward how popular your pieces are on the marketplace.

When a maker you referred has been paying for 30 days, we send your $10 to your shop. It goes to your bank with your next payout, and we email you when it's sent.

Open Refer & earn to see what you've earned and when each reward was paid.

Once your Club has a published tier, your home page shows it near the top, with a button that opens your Club. It stays there even if you take Club out of your menu.

In the Crochetify app on Android, a pattern or a paid Club tier now opens your website's home page in the shopper's browser. They find the pattern or the Club there and buy it on your site. Google Play doesn't let apps link to where a digital item is bought. Finished pieces and the iPhone app work as before.

If your card is declined for your Crochetify plan, you now hear about it the same day, with one button to update your card. Your shop stays open for 7 days while we retry.

• A reminder on day 3, and one the day before the shop pauses.
• Every dashboard page shows the date to update your card by, until the payment goes through.
• If the shop does pause, shoppers see a short note that it's paused, with your contact email, instead of being sent away. It opens again the moment a payment goes through.

The first time you open Club > Tiers, your Club already has a free tier called Friends, saved as a draft. Change its name and benefits, publish it when you're ready, or delete it. Clubs that already have tiers aren't changed.

A free tier is the simplest way in for fans: they join it in the Crochetify app with one tap, and the posts you share with every member open for them at once.

Your Club's page in the app has a new look too. Your banner runs across the top, your posts show as full-width cards with the pinned one first, and each tier has its own section with its benefits and a button to join.

Shoppers waited a second or more each time they picked a category on the Crochetify Marketplace or in the app's Search tab. Now a category opens with little or no wait, and the pill a shopper taps lights up right away.

Every category page on the marketplace also has the row of categories along the top, so shoppers go from one category to the next in one tap. On a phone the row is one line that scrolls sideways.

Shop owners have a + in the middle of the Crochetify app's tab bar. Tap it to make a feed post, a Club post or a listing without switching to My Shop.

• Each one opens the same editor as your dashboard, with every field, setting and way to publish, so there's nothing left to finish later.
• The menu says where each one goes and who sees it. A feed post goes on Home in the app, for anyone. A Club post goes to your Club, and you choose who can read it.
• Your posts, under the menu, shows how many drafts you have and opens your feed and Club posts, where you edit or delete them.
• Tap the three dots on one of your posts in the feed to edit or delete it.
• Your Club's page in the app has a Create post button. If no tier is published yet, it offers Set up your Club instead.
• In the post editor, the button says Post or Save draft, to match what you chose under Visibility.

Saved is on the You tab for shop owners now, since the + takes its place in the tab bar.

Your shop in the Crochetify app has a Posts tab next to Listings. Shoppers who open your shop can read back through what you have posted, newest first.

It shows the posts you write and the listings you share with a caption. A listing you share without a caption stays under Listings, and so do the new-listing and sale posts the app makes for you. Add a caption to a share after you post it and it shows on the Posts tab. Clear the caption and it comes off.

Shoppers can now comment on the posts you write for the Crochetify app's home feed. Each post has a comment button next to the heart, and a comment count under it.

• Reply as your shop: your name and logo show on your reply, marked Shop.
• Anyone signed in can reply to a comment, like one, and edit or delete their own. Everyone sees how many likes a comment has, and nobody sees who liked it.
• Hide or delete any comment on your posts, and block someone so they can't comment on your posts again.
• Posts > Comments lists every comment across your posts, newest first, with a Needs review filter for reported ones.
• You get one notification while new comments are waiting, not one per comment.

Comments are on for new posts. Turn them off for a post in the post editor, before or after you post it. The new-listing and sale posts the app makes for you don't take comments.

Your Club's comments work the same way now: members can reply to each other, like comments, and edit what they wrote.

In the Crochetify app, a tap on a listing, a shop, a Club, a conversation or an order opens the screen with the photo, name and price in place. The rest fills in a moment later, where shoppers used to wait on a blank outline.

The app also keeps what a shopper last saw. Home, Search, Saved, Clubs and Messages show it as soon as the app opens, with no connection too, and update when the new version arrives.

On the marketplace and on your shop's website, a listing starts to load when a shopper points at it or holds a finger on it, so it usually opens the moment they tap.

Each pull to refresh on Home in the Crochetify app puts a different shop at the top. Shoppers who follow you get your shop there first, taking turns with the other shops they follow, and then each shop they don't follow gets a turn.

When it's your turn, the newest post you wrote this month goes at the top, ahead of your new listings.

Below the top, the shops a shopper follows stay near the top of every load, with shops they didn't just see in between. Every shop with a new listing in the last two months is now in the feed too. Before, a few shops that list a lot could crowd the rest out.

Tapping My shop in the Crochetify app showed a placeholder until your dashboard had finished loading. Now your dashboard shows as soon as it starts to draw, and your numbers fill in as they arrive. Opening it again later skips a sign-in step, so it comes up sooner.

Your dashboard on the website loads faster too.

When you write a post, you now pick what it is: a regular post with your own photos and a caption, or a listing share.

A listing share shows the listing's photos, title, price and description, with a Buy now button. Add a caption if you like, and shoppers see it as your message, apart from the listing. To change the photos or the price, edit the listing, and the share updates on its own. Pick Post to feed on any listing to share it.

Once a post is up, you can change its caption. The photos and the listing it shares stay as they are, because shoppers saved and reacted to what they saw. To use different photos, delete the post and post again.

Editing a share with unsaved changes? Edit listing now offers Save post and edit listing, so you don't lose your changes or have to come back.

On a narrow phone, the order summary at checkout ran past the right edge of the screen, and buyers had to scroll sideways to reach the discount code's Apply button. Checkout, the cart and your Club's plans now fit the screen at any width.

Items in the cart also have a smaller photo on a phone, so a long listing name has more room.

Manage billing on your Club could fail with an error on a shop that had never set up Stripe's billing page. It opens for every paying member now: they can update their card, see their receipts, or cancel, and a cancel lasts to the end of the period they paid for.

Crochetify also checks each paid membership with Stripe once a day. If a payment, a failed card or a cancel never reached us, the membership is put right by the next check, and a member who paid but was never let in gets their membership.

Messages in the Crochetify app suggested a few shops to write to, and a shopper had no way to reach any other shop from there. Now the pen at the top of Messages opens New message: every shop on the marketplace that takes messages, A to Z, with a search. The suggestions stay at the top.

Your shop is on the list while Live chat widget is on in Store details, under Contact & live chat.

When you're signed in, a message you send us from Help in the Crochetify app, or from the contact page on our website, now goes out with your account's name and email. They show above your message instead of as boxes to fill in, and we reply to that email.

Making a Club post public used to let anyone read it and download its files. Now you choose what people outside your Club get: Members only, a Preview with the title, cover image and excerpt and a way to join, or the Full post.

Files stay with your members either way. Turn on Non-members can download files when you want to give one away.

Posts you had already made public work the way they did, text and files open to everyone, until you change them.

Your Club in the Crochetify app showed the first few lines of your About text and stopped mid-sentence, with no way to read the rest. Now a long story shows its first lines with a See more link that opens the rest in place, and your paragraph breaks stay where you put them.

When you publish a Club post, the email your members get now reads like the post. Your logo and shop name sit at the top, then the title, your cover photo (or the first photo in the post), and the start of what you wrote, with your bold words, links, lists and photos. A long post stops with a Keep reading button.

Files you attached are listed by name, and a Leave a comment link opens the comments. The button and links use your brand color.

Deleting a tier opened the posts set to it to every member, free followers included. Now a tier with posts set to it can't be deleted. Choose another tier for those posts first.

Hiding a comment now takes it off Needs review and out of the count beside Club in your menu. Needs review lists the comments members reported. Hidden ones stay in All comments, where you can bring them back.

Estimated monthly revenue now counts what each member pays, which stays what they joined at when you change a tier's price, and leaves out members you gave a tier to. Members see what they pay on their own Club page too.

A fan who signs out of your Club on your own domain is now signed out of Crochetify too, so the next Join asks who they are. And a fan who signs in from your own domain, when your Crochetify address is your main one, comes back to your domain signed in.

On Home in the Crochetify app, a shopper can now pinch any photo in a post to zoom in on it, the way they would on Instagram. The photo grows over the screen, follows their fingers, and goes back into the post when they let go. It works on every photo in a post, and on the photos in your Club posts.

Your shop is on the account with your shop's email. Sign in to the Crochetify app with a different email and you get a new account, without your shop. The sign-in screen now asks makers to use the email connected to their shop. On an iPhone it also says to choose Share My Email when you sign in with Apple, since Hide My Email makes a new account too.

If you're signed in to an account with no shop, My Shop and the Open a shop screen say which account you're on and offer to sign you in with your shop's email.

When your shop leaves Pro, your Club closes: fans can't join and members can't read your posts. Members on a paid tier were still charged, and your Club pages only asked you to upgrade, so you couldn't see who was paying or stop it.

Now a line at the top of your dashboard says how many members are still being charged. Club home lists them with their next charge, and Members has a Paying filter. Open a member to cancel their membership, refund their last payment, or message or email them. Upgrade to Pro to reopen your Club.

When someone joins your Club, paid or free, cancels, or a payment of theirs fails, we now email you and send a notification to the Crochetify app. Tap it to open that member's page, where you can say hello, retry the payment, or write to them.

It's on for every Club. Turn it off in Settings, Notifications.

When you run a sale, Home in the Crochetify app posts it for you. That post took its words from one of the listings in it, and it put every sale your shop was running into one post. Each sale now has its own post. It says what the sale is, like 70% off 5 patterns, and the day it ends if you set one. The name you gave the sale stays private.

Each listing in the post shows its sale price and its usual price, under a heading that says it's on sale from your shop. When a sale ends or you turn it off, its post leaves Home, and a listing you take out of a sale leaves the post.

A listing can now sit in up to three marketplace categories. A bunny pattern can be under Amigurumi & Toys and under Seasonal & Holiday, so shoppers find it from either one. Pick them under Marketplace in your dashboard.

Patterns is no longer a category. Whether a listing is a pattern or a physical item comes from the product itself, and shoppers now choose Patterns or Physical items inside any category on the marketplace. Listings you had filed under Patterns now show by what they are, from their names, until you pick categories for them.

On a phone, and in My Shop in the Crochetify app, the window for editing a Club tier could stop answering: Cancel, Save changes and the X did nothing, and your changes were lost. On a phone that window now fills the screen. Its title and X stay at the top, and Save changes and Cancel stay at the bottom, above the keyboard, while the form scrolls between them.

• Other long windows in your dashboard work the same way on a phone: editing the prices of several products, gallery categories, the image library, picking a card for an email, emailing your Club members, and replying to a Club comment.

A shopper who followed a shop saw the same post of theirs at the top of Home in the Crochetify app on every pull to refresh. Each pull now puts a different post at the top. Shoppers who follow you are more likely to see your posts near the top, your newer posts take turns there, and they sit among shops the shopper doesn't follow, so a few shops never fill the feed.

Your Club page showed Join on a paid tier even when it couldn't take money: with payouts off, or when its price never reached Stripe. A fan found out only after signing in. A tier like that now says Not open yet, in the app too, and Club home and Tiers tell you why, with the fix: set up payouts, finish setup in one click, or raise the price.

• Saving a tier can't leave it half made. If Stripe can't be reached, nothing is saved, and trying again doesn't make a second tier.
• A new price takes effect only once Stripe has it. Members already on the tier keep paying what they signed up for.
• Changing your shop's currency now changes what fans are charged, not only what the page says.
• Stripe can't charge less than about $0.50 at a time, so a tier priced under that is caught when you save it.
• With payouts off, you can still rename a paid tier, change its perks, or take it off your Club page.

Opening your own Club from the shopping side of the Crochetify app could say the club wasn't available. It now always opens for you, even before you publish a tier. Every post is open, a line says you're viewing it as the owner, and Manage club takes you to your Club in My Shop. Your Club also leads Your clubs on the Clubs tab.

You can't join or buy a membership to your own Club, on your site or in the app, and you're never counted as its member: not in your member count, your members list, your emails to members or your Club analytics. If you joined your own Club before, that membership no longer counts anywhere.

The marketplace now welcomes any crochet product you made. Next to finished pieces, plushies and patterns, you can list:

• Kits built on your own pattern. The yarn and hook inside can be bought; your pattern is what makes it your kit.
• Tools you made, like hand-turned hooks or handmade stitch markers.
• Yarn you dyed or spun yourself.

Kits and Tools & Yarn are new categories on the marketplace and in the Crochetify app. Pick one for a listing under Marketplace in your dashboard.

The rule under all of it is that you made it. Reselling what someone else made stays off the marketplace, and so do knitted and sewn pieces. The application used to say "or I have the right to sell them"; that line is gone. You can still sell those things on your own website: turn off the marketplace switch on the listing and it stays there only.

If your shop is already approved, you do not need to apply again. The full rules are at crochetify.app/marketplace-policy.

A fan who paid for a Club tier could come back from checkout to your join page, with Join still on it, until the payment was recorded. Your Club page now checks the payment the moment they arrive and opens their Club. If the payment is still going through, the page says so and hides Join until it clears.

A fan can no longer start a second subscription to your Club. A second Join sends them back to the checkout they already started, or to their Club if they have paid. A member whose payment failed and who joins again ends up with one subscription: the old one is canceled when the new one starts.

Join on your Club page sent a fan who wasn't signed in to a Crochetify sign-in that took only Google or a password. Most fans have no password: anyone who made their account in the app, or signed in with an emailed code after buying from you, was stuck there, and a new fan was greeted with Welcome back.

One page now signs a fan in or makes their account: Google, Apple, or a six-digit code sent to their email. It names your Club, and every way through it, a forgotten password included, brings the fan back to your Club with the tier they picked.

If you gave your footer a dark color, the currency picker showed as a blank white box and the Powered by Crochetify logo was dark on dark. The picker now sits on a darker surface with light text, and the logo turns light, so shoppers can read both.

Ship with USPS and add the tracking number, and Crochetify follows the parcel from there. The buyer's order page gains a Delivered step: while the parcel is on its way it shows the latest USPS scan and the day USPS expects to deliver, and once it arrives it says so, with the date.

Your own order page shows the same line under the tracking number, so you can see whether a parcel arrived without opening USPS. The review request now counts its wait from the day the parcel arrived rather than the day you shipped it.

For other carriers the order page says plainly that delivery updates come from the carrier, and the Track package button opens them.

The Recently viewed row on Home in the Crochetify app counted a listing the moment its page opened, so a stray tap that was backed out of at once put a piece there the shopper never looked at. A listing joins the row once its page has been open for a moment now, newest first, and a look older than 30 days drops off. The row starts again with this version of the app.

Club home has a Copy link button now, beside View Club page. It copies the address a fan reaches your Club at, yoursite.com/club, ready to paste into a bio, a post or a message. The same address shows under Members until somebody joins.

Every page of your site has a Report a problem link in the footer now, beside Powered by Crochetify. It opens a short form that goes to the Crochetify team, not to you, and the form works even when the page's own buttons do not.

A shopper who hits a snag, like a review that will not post or a checkout that stalls, has a clear next step, and we hear about it the same day. Questions about orders or products still go to your Contact page, and the form says so.

A tap on your Club in the Crochetify app opens a page of its own now, for members and shoppers alike. It leads with your shop's banner, logo, name and tagline, how many members and posts the club has, and the start of your story.

Members see where their membership stands, your posts with the ones above their tier locked, how many comments each has, and a Membership tab with your tiers, theirs marked, and a way to manage their membership on the web.

Shoppers who have not joined see the same page with your public posts, how many more are for members, your tiers and what each gets, and a way in: a free tier joins in the app, and a paid one opens your Club page on your site where the rules allow a link to it.

A fan who opened your Club used to leave your site for a plain Crochetify page with no way back. The Club is a page on your site now, at /club, with your header, your menu and your colours, on your own domain if you have one. Your menu's Club link and every link you have shared keep working.

A member lands in their Club: their plan, their perks, your posts and billing, on one page. Someone who is not a member sees your plans and the posts you made public. A post opens on your site too, with its comments and downloads, and a link back to the Club and to your shop.

Shoppers find clubs from a Clubs tab in the Crochetify app now. Before, a club was only reachable from a row on the You tab, which nobody who did not know about clubs had a reason to open.

The tab lists every marketplace shop with a Club and a published tier, searchable by name. Your card shows your logo and tagline, how many members and posts you have, your tiers, and your newest public post. It opens a page with each tier's perks and the posts you made public, so a shopper sees what the club is like before they join.

A free tier joins in the app. A paid tier still opens your membership page on your site, where the rules allow a link to it. Members see their clubs at the top of the tab, with the latest posts from all of them.

The About block on your homepage set your story in small grey text, which was hard to read on a tinted band. The heading is larger, and the story is set in larger, darker text.

Under Homepage sections, About, turn on Link to your collections to add a box beside your story with links to the collections you pick. Nothing picked shows your first collections. When your homepage story is a shorter one than your About page, a Read the full story link takes shoppers to the rest.

The thank-you page told every shopper you would start packing their items soon, even for a piece you make to order. It now repeats the processing time from your listing: "Your items should be ready to ship in 2-3 weeks." The order status page says the same while you make the order. A listing with no processing time keeps a line that promises no date.

• The "Leave a review" link on the order status page now waits until you mark the order shipped. A pattern download can be reviewed as soon as it is paid.
• The contact link and the continue-shopping link on the order pages are underlined, so a shopper on a phone can tell they are links.

The links in your receipt, downloads and shipped emails, and the order link in a shopper's account and in the app, opened on your custom domain when it was your primary address. Some internet providers block domain endings such as .shop, so a shopper on one of those could not open the pattern they had paid for. Those pages are private to the buyer and hidden from search, so they now open on your shop's Crochetify address, which every provider can reach. Your shop's public pages keep your custom domain.

Emails sent before this change still carry the old link. A shopper who cannot open one can sign in at crochetify.app/account with the email they used at checkout and open the order there.

Two themes drew a small four-point star over every listing photo: Pastel Pop in the bottom corner, Celestial Dreamy in the top corner. It sat on your own pictures and made them look touched up.

The star is gone from both. Your photos show as you shot them. Everything else about the two themes is unchanged.

The button at the foot of a listing in the Crochetify app read "Buy on" or "View on" your shop's name, and the line under it said the tap opens your website. The button reads Buy now, and the line under it says the checkout opens inside the app. A listing with options or a name-your-price amount says the shopper picks on your site first, and a free pattern's button reads "Get the free pattern". A pattern keeps "View on" your shop on an iPhone outside the United States, where Apple's rules bar the words.

A shopper who tapped Buy now on your post or listing in the Crochetify app landed on the product page of your site with the piece in the cart, and still had to open the cart and tap Checkout. Buy now opens your checkout instead, with the piece already in the basket, in a sheet inside the app. The payment reaches your account the way every order on your site does. A listing with options, a name-your-price amount, or a free pattern still opens its product page first, so the shopper can choose.

A post about a listing in the Crochetify app ended in a "Read 1 review" link, which said nothing about the review. The post now ends with the listing's stars and review count, the newest review with its words and photos, and a "See all" row to the rest when there are more.

The row of filters over the Home feed in the Crochetify app (For you, Following, Patterns, Ready to ship, On sale) is gone. The feed now starts right under the bar, like Instagram. Shoppers who follow your shop still see your posts first, and Search keeps the Patterns, Ready to ship and On sale filters.

Pulling down on Home in the Crochetify app took a few seconds, and now and then brought back the same posts. A pull now reads only the posts; the shelves between them are kept ready. A pull that cannot reach Crochetify says so instead of closing quietly.

In Messages on a phone, the keyboard stayed up while you scrolled back through a conversation and covered half of it. The first drag over the messages now closes it, in the app and in your phone's browser. Tap the reply box to bring it back.

Blankets & Afghans, on the marketplace and in the Crochetify app, showed amigurumi patterns: their materials list said blanket yarn, and a listing's description counted as much as its name. Baby & Kids picked up any plush whose safety note said children.

A listing's name is what places it now. The description is read only when the name says nothing, and only its first line, where you say what the piece is. Words for who a piece is for, like baby or kids, count in the name alone. A lovey is a plush, so it browses under Amigurumi & Toys and Baby & Kids, not Blankets.

To place a listing yourself, pick its category on the Marketplace page. Your choice always wins.

My Shop in the Crochetify app is now this dashboard: the same pages as the website, signed in, drawn inside the app. Orders, custom orders, messages, products, collections, discounts and sales, reviews, Club, posts, Customize, your pages, link in bio, marketing, analytics and settings are all there, and anything added to the dashboard is on your phone the same day.

Photos come from your camera roll. A promo graphic, a QR code or a CSV goes to the share sheet, where Save to Files keeps it. View shop in the header opens your shop as a shopper sees it. A page that did not load says why and offers a way back, and a notification about an order, a message or a Club comment opens that page.

Your plan, payouts and a domain purchase still open in a browser, under Apple's and Google's rules, and bring you back to the page you left.

The app's own versions of those screens are gone. They were a second copy of the dashboard that could fall behind it; now there is one.

Every product's edit page now has a List on the marketplace switch under Visibility, so you can keep an item off the marketplace while you add it, without a trip to the Marketplace page. Eligibility is the same as before: an active item that is in stock shows once your shop is approved.

There is also a Made for a custom order switch. Turn it on for a piece you listed for one buyer and it stays off the marketplace for good, while it still shows in your shop so that buyer can check out. The custom orders page walks you through it.

Under Branding, the Header name color setting showed your saved colors under every option, with nothing to say what they did. They now appear only when you choose Custom, next to the color picker, labelled as saved colors. Brand color and Default show the menu alone.

A homepage section's background option called "Plain (white)" was never forced to white: it shows your page background, whatever color you set for it. It is now called "Page background".

With the hero background set to Solid color or Gradient, a strip of the page color sat between your scrolling banner and the hero, so it looked like an extra empty section. The hero now meets the banner flush, the same as a hero photo does. Page background heroes and themes that float the hero as a card keep their room below the banner.

A shopper who paid but never landed on the order confirmation page (the Facebook and Instagram in-app browsers sometimes drop that page) came back to your shop with the items they had just bought still in their cart. Hours later, the abandoned cart reminder told them they had left those items behind, even though they already had the order and its downloads. Your shop now recognizes a cart that already became an order, empties it on the shopper's next visit, and sends no reminder for it.

A typo at checkout means the pattern never arrives. You can now change the email on any order from the order page: open the order, find the buyer under Customer, and choose Edit. For a paid pattern order you can send the download email to the new address in the same step. Receipts and download resends go to the new address from then on.

An order's page showed the time the download email went out, and the day the order came in, in UTC. So for most shops those times read hours off. They now follow the time zone your shop is set to, which you can check under Settings. The same goes for the dates in the marketplace orders list and in the review request and thank-you code emails your buyers get.

The sign-up box in the "Stay in the loop" band could push its button off the side of a phone, so the whole page slid sideways. The field and the button now share a line while they both fit, and the button drops to its own full-width line when they do not. That holds for a button label you wrote yourself, on your shop page, your newsletter page, and your bio page.

On Minimal Gallery, the spinning "Handmade" sticker covered the middle of your hero photo on a phone. It now sits across the bottom edge of the photo, half on the picture and half on the page below, so your work shows through. The words and dots around it are evenly spaced in every font.

Some bank-backed Link and Cash App payment attempts were being rejected or timing out inside Stripe, but checkout only said "The payment failed." Checkout now gives the shopper a useful next step, keeps the same order ready for another attempt, and offers a reload if the payment form itself cannot open.

Failed attempts are now recorded with the shop, order, payment method, and Stripe reason, without payment details, so support can tell a blocked payment from a broken checkout.

Paying with Cash App Pay sends the shopper to the Cash App app to approve. On some phones, and inside the Facebook and Instagram browsers especially, the checkout tab reloads on the way back, and it used to come back as an empty form with the cart still full, even though the payment had gone through. Shoppers paid twice or gave up, and the order sat as Awaiting payment until we caught up with it.

The checkout now remembers a payment it started. When the page comes back it checks with Stripe: a paid order goes straight to the confirmation page with the downloads or shipping details, one still waiting on approval shows a short holding message, and one that never went through shows the form again.

The marketplace is curated now. Your shop shows there once you apply and we approve you, and the same goes for the shops and patterns pages. Your own website is separate: it runs on any plan and never depends on approval.

Apply from Marketplace in your dashboard. You confirm a short list: the work is yours to sell, your photos and patterns are your own, nothing is counterfeit, nothing mass-produced is passed off as handmade, and your photos are real photos rather than AI images.

We have been working through shops and adding them back. If yours is not on the marketplace yet, it is most likely still in the queue rather than turned down, and you do not need to do anything.

We review the shop, not every listing. Once your shop is approved your listings go on the marketplace, and so does anything you add afterwards: a new piece or pattern shows up there when you publish it, with nothing to submit and nothing to wait for.

If you put something on the marketplace we want off, we get in touch and ask you to take it down. If you leave it up, we take your shop off the marketplace.

If we say no we give a reason, and you can apply again three days later once you have had time to act on it.

The full rules are at crochetify.app/marketplace-policy.

Settings -> Payments said "Connected" and "we're still verifying your details" whenever payouts were off, even when Stripe was waiting on you. One shop sold five patterns while the message said to sit tight, and the money sat in its Stripe balance with nowhere to go.

Now the page says what is missing, whether that's a bank account, a photo ID, or the last 4 of your SSN, and Add bank account takes you straight back into Stripe to finish. The welcome walkthrough does the same instead of ticking payouts off as done.

The old wait-a-day-or-two message is still there for the one case it fits: everything is in and Stripe is checking it.

If you wrote your story in the editor, your shop page on the marketplace could show some of the code behind it along with your words. Your story was saved correctly the whole time and your own website always showed it right. The marketplace page shows it right now too, and there is nothing you need to change.

Once your shop is approved, each listing is reviewed on its own. The listings we looked at with your shop are on the marketplace already. A listing you add later stays on your own website only until you submit a request and a person at Crochetify looks at it.

Open the product and use the Marketplace card, or use Submit request next to the listing on Marketplace. Confirm two things: it is crochet you made or a pattern you wrote, and its photos are real photos of the piece. Leave a note if it helps. We email you either way, with the reason if we say no, and you can ask again after making changes.

Marketplace shows where every listing stands: not requested, in review, on the marketplace, not approved, or removed. Your own website is not part of this; every listing stays live there.

The Crochetify marketplace, the shops list, the pattern catalog, and the Crochetify app are now curated. Shops apply from Marketplace in the dashboard, and a person at Crochetify looks at the shop and its photos before it is listed. Approved shops stay listed; shops that were on the marketplace before today are already approved and nothing about them changed.

To apply, confirm five things: you made your products or have the right to sell them, your patterns, photos and words are your own or licensed, nothing is stolen or counterfeit, nothing mass-produced is presented as handmade, and every image on your shop is a real photo of a real piece. Leave a note if it helps. We email you either way, with the reason if we say no, and you can apply again after making changes.

Your own website is not part of this. It runs on any plan, opens and sells exactly as it does now, and a pending or unsuccessful application changes nothing about it.

• The Terms have three new sections on the marketplace, original work, and suspension. Read them at crochetify.app/terms.

A marketplace category, on the web and in the Crochetify app, left your patterns out unless you had filed them there yourself. A shopper who opened Christmas saw three items while the shops held over twenty.

Now a category shows every listing named for it, patterns included, and a holiday category also shows a piece you filed under Toys or Hats. Nothing to do on your side: the listing's name is what places it.

Your Crochetify website is yours, so you can use AI-generated images on it if you choose. The old rule that banned them everywhere, with a warning and then a closed shop, is gone.

The marketplace, the shops list, and anywhere Crochetify features makers only show shops whose product photos are real pictures of real pieces. A shop with AI-generated product images won't be featured there while the images are up. Take them down and ask us to look again, and we will. Ordinary editing of a real photo, like cropping, colour correction, or removing a background, is fine.

Sign out with no signal and the app used to stop halfway: the spinner went, nothing moved, and every screen after it failed until you signed in again. Now the app signs you out on the phone either way, tells you the connection dropped, and finishes with Crochetify the next time you are online.

Signing out from a dashboard page inside the app now signs the app out too, instead of leaving it holding a session that was gone.

And a sign-in whose connection dropped right after the code went through no longer looks signed out for five minutes. The app reads your account again, and says so if it still cannot.

You could email a member. Now you can talk to one. Open a member and tap Message: it starts a thread with them, and they can write back.

Their reply lands in your Messages, next to the shoppers who write in from your shop, on the web and in the app. You get the same email and the same buzz on your phone that any message gives you, and the thread is marked unread until you have read it.

If that person has written to your shop before, you carry on in the thread you already had with them. One person, one conversation.

And when somebody joins, Club home asks you to say hello. The row sits under Needs you with their name and the tier they joined, and it goes away by itself once you have written to them.

Editing your look on your phone meant guessing, then opening a browser to find out. Now every screen that changes how your shop looks has a Preview button in the corner.

Tap it and your shop opens inside the app: your theme, your fonts, your photos, your bands, exactly as a shopper gets them. Chips along the top move between your pages, the ones in your own menu, and your link in bio is the last of them.

It is on Customize and each of its screens, on Colors, Fonts, Theme, Logo and header, Announcement bar and Homepage sections, and on Link in bio and How the page looks.

Your own looks are not counted as visits, so your Analytics still says what shoppers did. And a shop you have not opened yet previews too, with a line saying only you can see it.

Club has an Analytics page now, on the web and in the app. It shows what your Club earns each month, how many people joined and how many left, the share of members you kept, and which tiers they are on.

Pick the last six, twelve or twenty-four months. A new Club shows the months it has, not a year of empty ones.

The members whose card was declined are listed at the bottom. Open one to message them, move them to a free tier, or cancel.

Where your Club is too new to know something, the page says so instead of showing you a zero.

Eight parts of the app used to send you to a browser to finish the job. Seven of them are done in the app now.

• Your homepage, in Customize: turn a band on or off, move it, and change its heading and the line under it
• Your logo and header: take a photo of your logo or pick one, then set its shape, its size and how the bar is arranged
• Your announcement bar: the strip above your header, its messages, and how long each one stays up
• Every font, family by family, not only the pairings
• A collection's cover photo and its categories, and which category each listing sits in
• A discount code or a sale, all of it: what it takes off, what it covers, whether it is held to one Club tier, and when it runs
• A review's photos, and which listing it is about
• Your link in bio page: add a product, a collection, the newsletter box, a heading or your social icons, and set the page's photo, background, buttons and colors
• Analytics: a chart for each day, any pair of dates you pick, and your link in bio report
• Your currency, how your shop speaks, and the newsletter and live chat switches

Four things still open your dashboard, and each row now says why rather than only linking: your pages, since a page is long-form writing; your refund and shipping policies, for the same reason; importing your Etsy reviews, which reads a file that lands on a computer; and payments, your domain, your plan and your taxes, which are Stripe's, the registrar's and your tax office's own sign-ups.

The page fans reach from Club in your shop menu leads with you: your logo, the start of your story, and a link to your About page.

Your public Club posts sit below the tiers, so a fan can read one before they join. Posts you kept for members stay hidden.

A tier's cover photo shows here too. If you charge monthly and yearly, fans get a switch between the two, and a yearly tier says what it comes to each month. Your member count appears once ten people have joined.

Club posts can now carry files. Attach a PDF pattern to a post and only the members who can read that post can download it. Every download is checked, so a link that gets passed around is worth nothing to someone who is not in the tier.

Three more things you asked for:

• Write a post today and set the day and time it publishes. Members get their email then. You can still edit it, or cancel it, right up until it goes
• Choose whether publishing emails your members. It is on by default. Turn it off when you are fixing a typo on something you already sent
• Pin a post to the top of your members' list, copy a post as a new draft, and publish, take down or delete several at once from the post list

All of it works on the web and in the Crochetify app.

When a customer sends a photo with their review, the share graphic now puts it above their words.

It is on by default. To post the words alone, turn off the photo in Share a review, or in the app.

A review with no photo looks exactly as it did before.

Tiers were the last part of your Club that only worked on the web. Open Club in the Crochetify app, tap a tier, and everything about it is yours to change there: the price, the words, the perks, whether it is published, and the order fans see them in.

Four things you could never set anywhere, now on both:

• A cover photo on each tier, so a fan choosing between them sees what they get, not just a price
• Yearly billing, not only monthly
• An access level, which is who reads what. A member on a higher level reads everything a lower one can, so a post you keep for one tier is open to every tier above it. It follows the price unless you say otherwise
• Archive a tier instead of deleting it

That last one matters. Deleting a tier used to take it away from the people paying for it. Archiving takes it off your Club page and stops new members joining, while everyone already on it keeps their tier, their access and the price they signed up at. A tier anybody has ever been on can now only be archived.

Changing a tier's price has always left your current members on the price they joined at, and it still does. The editor says so now, so you are not guessing.

Shoppers browsing the Crochetify app now see posts you wrote, not a list the app put together from your catalog.

Open Marketing, then Posts, to write one: add your photos, say something about the piece, and link the listing so shoppers can buy it right from the post.

• Already have the listing? Open it, pick Create post, and its photos come along. Change them, write a caption, post.
• No listing to link? Post anyway. A work in progress, a shelf of finished pieces, the yarn you just dyed.
• Not ready? Save it as a draft and come back.

You can post from your phone too: open the Crochetify app, tap Posts on your shop's home screen, and use the camera.

Until now the only way to reach a comment was to open the post it sat on. Club now has a Comments page, on the web and in the app, listing everything members have said across every post, newest first, with the post each one is on.

From that list you can:

• Hide a comment that does not belong, and put it back later
• Delete one for good
• Reply as your shop, so your answer shows on the post under their comment
• Filter to what needs you: anything hidden, and anything a member reported

The member you answer gets a notification about your reply. You get one when somebody comments, and only one until you have opened the list, so a busy club never turns into a stream of notifications.

Once your Club has a published tier, your shop's menu carries a Club link. Until now the only way in was you sending someone the address.

The link arrives once. Rename it, move it, or delete it in Customize, and it stays how you left it. If you have never edited your menu, Club sits with Shop and About, and goes again if you unpublish your last tier.

Your shop's page on the marketplace links to your Club too, so a shopper who finds you there can join.

On an iPhone, the shadow under the circle photo in a Pastel Pop hero was a square. Behind a logo on white, it looked like a grey block. The shadow now follows the circle on every phone and in every browser.

Every member of your Club now has a page of their own. Open one from Club home or the members list and you see their tier and what it costs them, how long they have been a member, what they have paid in total, when their next payment lands, their comments, and everything that has happened to their membership: joined, upgraded, canceled, paid.

You can do things from there. Move a member between tiers, give a paid tier away for free, cancel a membership, refund their last payment, or retry one that failed. Each action tells you what it will do before it does it, and one that cannot run says why.

Leave a private note on a member, something to remember about them. Only you see it.

Email one member, or everyone on a tier, from the members list or the member's page. It goes out from your shop, and replies come to your contact email.

The members list searches by name or email, filters by tier and status, sorts by joined, tier or lifetime value, and exports to CSV.

All of it is in the app too, apart from the CSV.

If your shop has a Club, it is now its own section in the sidebar, with pages for your posts, your members and your tiers. It used to be one page under Customers, easy to scroll past.

Club home now starts with who needs you: a member whose payment failed, or a comment waiting for you to look at. Those rows show on your dashboard home too, and in the app, so you see them without opening the Club. When nothing needs you, the section is not there.

Your members are grouped by tier, so you can see who is on what at a glance. A Club with tiers and no posts gets a nudge on your dashboard home to write the first one, and a shop with the Club turned on and no tier yet gets a short setup list: create a tier, write a post, share the link.

In the app, the Club screen has the same order: what needs you, then members by tier, posts and tiers.

Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands and 23 other territories were missing from the country list at checkout. A shopper in one of them saw the country box read United States while it held their own country underneath, and their order was turned away with a message that pointed at the wrong field.

They are on the list now. The country box always shows the country it is about to send, and if something is missing at checkout the shopper is told which box to fix. Nobody has to pick the wrong country to get an order through.

The same territories are in your Shipping settings, so you can say which of them you ship to and what you charge.

A good review is worth posting. Every published review now has Share as image in its menu on your Reviews page. It opens the same graphics studio as your product and website images, with the review on the card: the stars, what the customer wrote, their first name, and the piece it was about, in your shop's colors and style.

Pick a size for a story, your grid, a portrait post, or a pin, then download it, or share it straight to Instagram from your phone's browser. Reviews from custom orders work the same way.

The Promote page lists every review you can share, so it is there when you are putting posts together. Only published reviews can be shared.

A video you add to a listing used to play on your own site only. It now plays on the listing's marketplace page too, right after the first photo, so shoppers who find you through Crochetify see the piece move.

Shoppers can also open any photo or video there full screen, on black, and step through the rest of the listing from there.

Open a digital product and turn on Free pattern. Shoppers get it from your product page without a cart or a card: they enter their email and address, the download link goes to their inbox, and the download shows in your Orders as a $0 order. They can tick a box to join your newsletter, and those signups are marked as free pattern opt-ins on your Marketing page.

If you would rather not ask for an email, pick Instant download. Shoppers click the file and it downloads.

Every free pattern is listed at crochetify.app/free-patterns and in the Free patterns category of the pattern catalog, the pages people reach when they search for a free crochet pattern PDF. Its page title says free and PDF for the same reason. Your shop also gets a Free patterns collection of its own the moment it has one.

Every quarter we now publish what sold across Crochetify shops: the typical pattern price, digital versus finished items, what an order comes to, which categories sell, where buyers are, and when people buy. The first edition covers Q3 2026 and is at crochetify.app/reports.

Every figure is aggregated across makers. Nothing about your shop is shown on its own: a number appears only when it comes from at least 20 orders across at least 3 shops, with no one shop making up most of it, and the page states the rules.

Use it to check your pattern prices against what sells, and share it when someone asks whether crochet patterns sell online.

Shopping results in Google, ChatGPT, and Perplexity come from a product feed: a file that lists each product with its photos, price, stock, shipping, and return terms. Every live product in your shop is now in one. Crochetify is applying to list every shop through all three with a single feed, so there is nothing for you to do.

Your shop also has a feed of its own. Find the link under Marketing, with the status of each program. Submit it to a Google Merchant Center account of your own if you run one.

The feed says what your product pages say: the same price, sale, stock, and shipping. Free patterns are left out, since shopping programs do not list $0 items. The Crochetify feed follows your Marketplace settings: take a product or your shop off the marketplace and it leaves that feed too.

Three of the selling guides now do the arithmetic for you. The pricing guide has a calculator that runs the formula on your own materials, hours, and hourly rate, and shows what a price you had in mind pays you an hour. The shipping guide has one that turns the postage your carrier quotes into a shipping price: actual cost, free shipping, or a flat rate.

The business license guide has a table of all 50 US states and DC: whether the state has a sales tax, what you register for before your first sale, and whether the state issues a business license, each with the official page to confirm it on. Pick your state to see only your row.

The copyright guide gained the same facts in one table, case by case. Find them all under Guides on the Crochetify site.

The blog used to come with Pro. It is now part of every plan: write posts, publish them on your shop, and they go into your sitemap for Google.

There is a new way to start a post. Open a product and click Write a tutorial, or pick Pattern tutorial under Add blog post. The post starts with the product's photos and details, a materials list, numbered steps, a card that links to the product, and a few questions to answer.

Steps are marked up so Google reads them as how-to instructions. The product card shows the live name, photo, and price, so it never goes stale. You can add steps and product cards to any post from the toolbar.

Every digital pattern in your shop now has a page at crochetify.app/patterns, next to patterns from every other Crochetify maker. Shoppers browse by category, like amigurumi or blankets, by skill level, and by price. Each page links to your shop to buy.

crochetify.app already ranks on Google. Your shop's own address is new to it, so a page there can be found long before the same pattern on your shop is.

Open a pattern in Products and fill in the new Pattern details: craft, skill level, hook size, yarn weight, terminology, finished size, language, and pages. Fill from description reads what your description already says and fills in the blanks for you to check. Only what you fill in is shown.

Your patterns follow your Marketplace settings. Take your shop or a product off the marketplace and it leaves the catalog too.

Your product pages now carry what Pinterest reads when someone pins them: the name, the price, whether it is in stock, and your shop as the brand. Pinterest shows the price on the pin and keeps it current from your page. Pinterest calls these Rich Pins.

Shoppers can pin a photo from the product page. A Save to Pinterest button sits on each photo. It opens Pinterest with the photo cropped to the tall 2:3 shape pins do best in, your product name, and a link back to the page. Blog posts get the same button on their cover photo.

There is nothing to set up. To turn on Rich Pins for your shop, paste one of your product page links into Pinterest's Rich Pins validator once, at developers.pinterest.com/tools/url-debugger.

Your product pages now give Google what it needs to show them in shopping results: the shipping rate for each country you ship to, your processing time, and the return terms from your policies page. Digital patterns are marked as instant downloads that are final sale once delivered.

During a sale, the page also states the sale price, the regular price, and the dates the sale runs. You do not need to change anything.

Every shop has a sitemap at yourshop.crochetify.app/sitemap.xml, or on your own domain, that lists your pages and products for Google. It had been returning an error, so Google could not read it. It works again.

There is nothing to do on your side. Google will pick it up on its next visit.

When a shopper clicked a listing photo on your shop, the full-screen view sized a portrait photo to the width of the screen and let the bottom run off it. On a laptop, that cut off the lower part of the photo with no way to scroll to it.

The zoomed photo now always fits inside the screen, whatever its shape. The same fix covers review photos and photos sent in a chat, which open in the same viewer.

You can now take a percentage off once someone has enough items in their cart. Buy 3 or more, get 10% off. There is no code for them to type.

Turn it on in Discounts, pick how many items and what percentage, and it starts working straight away. The cart tells a shopper how close they are, takes the discount off the moment they qualify, and puts it back if they remove something.

Your sale prices and this discount both apply, so an item on sale is marked down first and the percentage comes off the rest. A discount code still follows your combining setting: by default a shopper gets your automatic discounts or the code, whichever saves them more.

Every order that qualified says so on the receipt, so you can see which sales it brought you.

A custom order is agreed with you, not bought from your shop, so the customer had no way to review it. There was no listing to review and no order behind them.

Open Custom orders and pick a request you are working on or have finished. Ask for a review, and you get a link made just for that request. Email it to the customer with one click, or copy it and send it in your own words.

What they leave is a review of your shop, with photos if they have them. It waits in Reviews for you to approve, like every other review, and counts toward your shop rating once you publish it.

Your shop already asks each buyer for a review a few days after their order arrives. Two things about that are now yours to set, in Marketing then Email settings.

• Choose how long to wait: 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, or 14 days after you mark an order shipped.
• Turn on a thank-you code. A buyer who leaves a review gets their own code for their next order, emailed as your shop. You pick what it takes off and how long it lasts.

With the code turned on, the review email tells the buyer what they get for leaving one, so they know before they start.

Each code works once and belongs to that buyer, and each order earns at most one. The order page now shows you when the review email went out and which code that buyer got, so you can see it worked.

A customer who left a review was stuck with it. Opening their review link again only told them they had already reviewed the item, so a typo or a mistapped star stayed as it was.

While a review is still waiting for you, they can now open the same link and change it: the stars, what they wrote, and the photos. It saves over the review you already have, so you never end up with two.

Once you publish a review it is settled and they can no longer change it. Nothing changes on your side.

Pressing Enter in a message used to send it. A shopper who wanted a second paragraph had to write the whole message in one block, or write it elsewhere and paste it in.

Enter now starts a new line, in your inbox and in the chat on your shop. Send with the send button, or with Cmd + Enter on a Mac and Ctrl + Enter on Windows.

On a wide desktop the Photo collage hero used to push your words to the far left of the screen and your photos to the right, with a gap in the middle. The two now sit together, lined up with your shop name in the header.

Your featured makes fill their row too. A shop with three of them showed three cards and an empty fourth space; now the three spread out and fill the band. The same goes for your shop page and your collections.

Nothing to change. Open your shop on a laptop and it is already there.

Pastel Pop got a pass over the details makers kept spotting.

• The pink squiggle now runs the full width of your shop name and your section titles, instead of stopping short under a long one.
• On a wide screen your photo and your words sit closer together, so the hero card reads as one piece rather than two things at opposite ends.
• On a phone the photo medallion is a little smaller and sits nearer your shop name, so the top of the card is not one big block of photo.
• The little sparkle on a listing moved to the bottom corner of the photo, where the Pattern badge can no longer cover it.

Your shop's story used to be one block of plain text. Now you can make words bold or italic, add links, write lists, and drop photos into the middle of it.

Links can point at your own pages, so you can send a reader from your story to a collection, a pattern, or your blog in one click.

The About block on your homepage can be formatted too, with bold, italic, links, and lists.

The story you already wrote looks the same as before. Open Customize and start formatting it whenever you like.

A review left in another language now has a Translate link under it on your Reviews page. One click and you can read what the customer said before you decide whether to publish it.

The original is still there. Show original switches back whenever you want, and after the first translation both are instant.

The link only appears on reviews that look like they need it, so your English reviews read exactly as before.

A review only shows the name a shopper signed it with, so writing back meant hunting through your orders for them. Every review that came from an order now has a Message customer action in its menu.

It opens your messages with that buyer already there, taken from the order behind the review, so you always reach the right person. Write your reply and they get it by email, the same as any other message. If you have talked before, it picks up your existing thread.

Reviews you imported from Etsy have no order behind them, so the menu says so instead of guessing.

A shopper who added five different products to their cart was charged the first-item rate five times, as if every listing shipped in its own box.

Now a shipping profile is one parcel. Everything in a cart on the same profile pays that profile's first-item rate once, then the additional-item rate for each extra item, whether those items are five of one product or one each of five products. Profiles with $5 first and $1 each additional used to quote $25 on that cart, and now quote $9.

Profiles you set up separately stay separate, because they usually mean different packaging. If some of your products ship together, put them on the same profile and checkout will combine them.

Product names on your shop used to get one line, so on a phone most of them were cut off after a few words. They now get two lines, on your shop grid, in the marketplace, on your bio page, in the cart, and in a shopper's saved list.

Your shop name in the header no longer gets cut off either. If it doesn't fit beside your logo and the icons, it now sizes itself down to fit instead of ending in three dots, so shoppers see your whole brand name.

Customize now has a Gallery page section, under Pages, next to your About and Custom orders pages.

• Write your own heading and intro above your photos. Leave them blank to keep the wording we suggest.
• Your intro is also what search engines show under the page's title.
• Hide the page from your shop with one switch. Your photos stay in your dashboard, and turning it back on brings the page back.

You still add and order the photos themselves in Gallery. The section links straight there.

There's now a search box on your Orders page. Type a customer's name or email, an order number, a product or variant name, a tracking number, or a discount code, and the matching orders come straight up.

It searches every order you've ever had, not only the page you're looking at, and it works alongside the status and date filters.

Opening a customer message now fills the screen. The conversation scrolls on its own and the reply box stays on the bottom edge, so you no longer have to scroll down to find it.

The reply box also uses the full width of your phone. Your message, the photo button, and Send are no longer squeezed into the left side of the screen.

The red count next to Messages and Reviews now goes away the moment the work is done: when you open a new message, or publish or archive a new review. Before this you had to reload the page to make it disappear.

The counts also catch up when you move between pages or come back to the tab, so what the menu shows is what's actually waiting for you.

On the Pastel Pop theme, the squiggle under your hero heading now stays centered under the words at every screen size. On a wide screen it used to drift off to the side of the name.

Analytics now has an Earnings strip: total sales, processing fees, and net earnings for whatever date range you're viewing. It's the same math as the Orders page, so the numbers always match.

Click View orders to jump to the orders behind those numbers, already filtered to the same period. You can clear the filter from the toolbar whenever you want the full list back.

The traffic sources card on Analytics now tells you where every visit came from. The “Other” row opens to list the exact sites shoppers arrived from, so a big “Other” number is no longer a mystery.

• Visits from your own storefront pages now show as “Your shop”, visits from your bio page as “Link in bio”, and visits from Crochetify's shops directory as “Crochetify”.
• “Direct” is explained right on the card: the browser didn't say where the visit came from, like a typed address, a bookmark, or a link in an app or email.

The photo shape you choose in Customize now applies on product pages too. If you use portrait photos, the product gallery shows them in the same 4:5 shape as the rest of your shop instead of cropping them square.

Messages between you and your customers can now include photos. A customer can attach up to 4 photos when they write in from your chat or Contact page, and you can attach photos to your replies in Messages.

Photos show right in the conversation - click one to see it full size. They also come along in the email copies, so neither of you misses them.

The Orders page has a new date filter next to the status filter. Pick a month or set a custom range, and the order list and earnings totals update to match.

Handy at tax time: pick a month and see what you sold and earned. Clear the filter to get back to every order.

Sell on TikTok Shop? You can now bring those listings into your Crochetify shop without retyping them. Open Products, choose Import, and pick TikTok Shop.

In Seller Center, go to Products, Manage products, Bulk action, Bulk edit products. Select your products, choose All Information, and download the file. Upload it to Crochetify and you'll see exactly what's new before anything imports.

• Names, descriptions, prices, photos, and options all come across.
• Everything arrives as a draft, so nothing goes live until you publish it.
• Upload the same file as often as you like - listings you already imported are recognized and skipped, even if you renamed them.

TikTok's workbook doesn't include stock levels, so set the stock on each draft as you review it.

Physical products now have optional color, size, age group, and gender fields in the editor. Add the ones that apply to clothing and accessories, and Crochetify passes them to Google.

Shipping details sent to Google now use the product's own currency and the rates and destinations you set in Crochetify.

A long message used to slide away while you read it. The thread checked for replies every few seconds, and every check jumped you back to the newest message, so writing an answer meant scrolling up again and again.

Now the thread only follows along when you are already at the bottom. Scroll up to read, and it stays there. If a reply lands while you are up there, a "New messages" button appears so you can drop back down when you are ready.

The same fix covers the chat on your shop and the support chat in your dashboard.

Open an order from page 3 of your orders, and coming back puts you on page 3 again, at the row you left. Your status filter and sort stay put too.

Working through a run of orders no longer means scrolling back down every time.

A shopper used to get your sale price and a discount code on top of it. A 20% sale plus a 15% code took 32% off, which is more than most makers meant to give away.

Now they get whichever one saves them more, and never both. Checkout prices the cart both ways and keeps the better deal, so nobody pays more than they would have before.

The cart and checkout say which one applied. Free shipping codes are unaffected: they waive shipping rather than marking an item down, so they still work during a sale.

If you want the old behaviour, turn on "Combine codes with sale prices" under Discounts.

Sales and discount codes now sit under Marketing in your dashboard sidebar, next to Campaigns and Promote. They used to be under Products.

Nothing about them changed, and your saved links still work. They are just where you would look for them.

Star backgrounds now leave clear space around section headings and copy, so every word stays easy to read.

On phones, the squiggle under a Pastel Pop split hero now stays centered with the shop name. The purple wash behind the hero card stays gone.

Name-your-price listings now stay visible in the sale picker with a clear reason they can't be discounted and a link to change their pricing.

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.

Your dashboard graphs used to bucket sales and visitors by UTC, so an evening could show up on tomorrow's date.

• 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.
