Release 5.2 - Automated payments for resellers

The moment that all of our agencies have been waiting for has finally come! The new version brings a whole new Superbolts app, as well as multiple improvements to all plug&paid users.

For those of you that don't know what Superbolts is, it's a great way to resell our whitelabel checkout cart solution. Apply your brand and give your clients the chance to start selling online with just a few clicks, without the need of a complicated storefront.

Before we go into this, it's very important for you to know:

Superbolts and plug&paid are now separated apps. All branding, taxes and invoice settings for Superbolts are now configurable separately.
If you own a Superbolts account, your clients can only log into your agency custom domain. Logins on plugnpaid.com are disabled for client accounts!

New Superbolts Features

Charge your clients a fixed amount, transaction fees or both. Everything automated from the signup, payments, emails and dunning.
Offer trials, limited or lifetime discounts per billing plan or per client.
Collect consents on signup.
Charge your clients additional one-off invoices, recurring addons or offer them personalized discounts at any point throughout their billing cycle.
Clients can be switched between valid plans and you can also choose to remove a client from plan.
Cloud-hosted signup pages for each billing plan, which you can immediately share with your audience. No setup required.
Enable and disable signups on demand and configure advanced settings, such as changing how many payment retries to allow, or clear up / reset a client slot.
Everything runs under your brand and custom domain and all emails are sent from your own SMTP server (if configured).
Client accounts have been updated. All plug&paid branding was removed and all instances of "plugs" were renamed to "shopping carts". Your clients can no longer interact with plug&paid.
You can now add a support widget for your Whitelabel (such as Zendesk), or even a simple external link that will show in your client's sidebar.

New plug&paid Feature

Custom Billing Fields (supported and customizable in all supported languages). Special rule “Mandatory with VAT” for EU companies that enabled automated VAT.
PREORDER: Email Automation module. Keep your customers engaged by setting up automated retargeting rules in your e-commerce flow. Interact with your visitors and customers on auto-pilot. Send ad-hoc emails on special occasions. External SMTP email server required. Scheduled for release in June. To preorder, go to your Settings / Plans & Quotas sheet.
