Release 5.3 - Zapier, VISA Regulations, Chatbots

Emy Carlan -

There is an important set of rules that VISA is enforcing, for companies selling subscriptions with trials. You can read more about this here. Our team was prompt in implementing all of these requirements, along several platform improvements. Oh, and one more thing: Zapier.

New Features

  • Zapier Integration: you can now search for plug&paid in the Zapier apps marketplace and integrate our service with over 1,300 web apps! In order to use our Zapier app, your account needs to have access to our API. Exposed triggers:
  • Checkout page embeds: you can now embed 3rd party services that offer embed codes directly into your hosted checkout pages. We added support for Chatbot.com, LiveChat, Zendesk Helpdesk Widget and QurioBot, and we accept requests over helpdesk to implement others as well. You can find these under Addons to set up on account-level and under Plug Sheet / Power-Ups / Chatbots for plug-level control.
