What's New in ZipWP

Hi there, ZipWP community!

We’re always listening to your feedback and working to improve your experience with ZipWP. This time, we’re introducing two requested email notifications that will help you stay on top of activities related to your Blueprint links.

Here’s a quick look at what’s new:

Two New Email Notifications

We’ve added two important email notifications to keep you updated about your Blueprint links.

When a Site is Created via Your Blueprint Link

Before, you wouldn’t know if someone created a site using your Blueprint link unless you logged into your ZipWP account. Now, you’ll get an email notification every time someone creates a site with your link. This helps you stay informed and take action quickly if needed.

When a Site Creation Fails

This scenario rarely happens but if someone tries to create a site using your Blueprint link and it doesn’t work, you’ll now get an email letting you know. This way, you can fix your Blueprint link quickly and keep things running smoothly.

Don’t need these notifications? You can turn them off in your notification settings.

Coming Soon: ZipWP Chrome Extension!

We’re working on a new ZipWP Chrome Extension, and it’s already submitted for review in the Chrome Webstore. It’ll be available soon and will make using ZipWP even easier. We shared a sneak peak of this upcoming extension in our Facebook community. Feel free to join and see what’s coming!

We hope you enjoy these updates! Your feedback means the world to us, so keep sharing your ideas.

We’re jingling with excitement to bring you the final update of 2024, just in time for the holiday magic! Here’s what we’ve wrapped up for you:

🎄Easier Access to Blueprint Active Sites:

Previously, when someone accessed your product demo blueprint link and created a site, it appeared in your account under “Active Sites,” but you couldn’t log in directly. Now, with just a single click, you can log into any of your active sites! 🎅

🎁 Sleeker Plan & Billing Details:

We’ve made enhancements to how your plan and billing details are displayed in the “Plan & Billing” section.

This is just the beginning—stay tuned for more improvements in the future to make this screen even more user-friendly! 🎉

❄️ Custom Website Builder Update:

We’ve added an option to enable/disable experimental features, including the custom website builder. To try it out, simply go to My Account → Experimental → Toggle on Custom Site Builder. You’ll find the custom site builder in your ZipWP sidebar! 🎨

As we wrap up 2024, we want to send you all the joy, peace, and cheer of the holiday season!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your loved ones! 🎄🎁

We have big plans for 2025—get ready for more excitement ahead! If you have any ideas or suggestions for new features—let us know here: https://ideas.zipwp.com/.

We’re listening with bells on! 🎅

Hey ZipWP community,

Sometimes, little changes make a big difference. This update is a great example of that.

You can create multiple organizations in your ZipWP account, each on a different plan. For example, Org A could be on a Business Plan, while Org B might be on a Free Plan.

Previously, users faced challenges when upgrading accounts, as it wasn’t clear which organization was being upgraded from the pricing page.

We’ve simplified the experience!

Now, there’s a dropdown on the pricing page that lets you see and switch between organizations before upgrading.

Little changes, big impact!

By the way, we’re running a Black Friday Sale! Enjoy a flat 30% discount on ZipWP premium plans.

Happy Holidays,

Hey everyone,

We’ve added a quick setup tour wizard for new users signing up for ZipWP. This feature helps users understand the platform better right after they sign up.

And it’s not just for new users. If you need a refresher anytime, you can access it by clicking the little play icon in your ZipWP dashboard.

Login to Your Account

Just to keep you posted, we’re working on some new designs as well that you will see in the coming days.

Until next time,

Hey everyone,

Today we’re excited to introduce Add-ons for Business Plan Holders!

These add-ons help you to customize your plan with additional resources, so you can scale your projects without any hurdles or the need of buying a secondary plan.

Why Add-ons?

We know every business is unique, and sometimes you need a little extra to get the job done. That’s where add-ons come in—they provide the flexibility to add specific features to your plan whenever you need them.

For example, let’s say you’re a web design agency managing multiple projects. You’ve reached your daily limit of AI website generations and need to create a new client site quickly. Or perhaps you’ve maxed out your staging sites and need to test updates for a live project. 

With add-ons, you can simply purchase the resources you need and keep your projects moving without delay.

How to Purchase Add-ons

Upgrading your plan with add-ons is simple:

1. Visit the Add-ons Page.
2. Choose the specific add-ons you need (AI site generations, staging sites, or Blueprints).
3. Complete your purchase and enjoy expanded limits instantly.

Start customizing your plan today!

Hey everyone,

ZipWP makes fully functional eCommerce websites with simple prompts and we made a simple change to help you identify which designs come with eCommerce functionality. 

Before:
When creating an eCommerce site, it wasn’t clear which designs included eCommerce functionality.

Now:
You’ll see a little green cart icon to distinguish eCommerce templates from regular ones.

This small improvement makes things easier for users like yourself.

Build your eCommerce site now and see the improvement in action!

Stay tuned for further updates!

Hey everyone,

We’re super excited to introduce the Branded Site URL 🎉

The Branded Site URL feature in ZipWP lets you customize the URLs of the sites you create.

Instead of random URLs, you can add your custom brand name (e.g., your design agency). The new site you create will then use this brand name in its URL, such as “your-design-agency.zipwp.link”.

Currently, this feature is available for all our users on the Business plan.

After enabling the Branded URL feature from the ZipWP settings, here’s how the created URLs will look:

This can be perfect for agencies and freelancers who want to maintain consistent branding for their clients.

Try this out on your ZipWP sites today and let us know what you think.

That’s all for now. Stay tuned for more exciting updates coming soon!

Cheers,

Hey everyone,

We received feedback that some site URLs generated by ZipWP contained negative adjectives, which didn’t create a good impression when shared.

Before:
A site URL might look like this: broken-corner.zipwp.site or lazy-bistro.zipwp.link. These kinds of words might unintentionally convey the wrong message about the website.

Now:
To address this, we’ve refined our AI model to avoid negative words in site URLs and other sections. 

If you still notice negative words in URLs, let us know—we’ll be happy to refine this further.

These updates ensure that site URLs reflect positivity and professionalism, making a great impression when shared.

Cheers,

Hey everyone,

We’ve added an option to redirect users to any URL after they build a site using your Blueprint link.

How Does This Help

Previously, users were redirected to the default WordPress dashboard after generating a site. 

Now, you can direct them to any page on the newly created site. For instance, WordPress plugin authors can send users to their product dashboard instead of the WordPress admin panel for a better user experience.

If you have an active Blueprint and would like to use this feature, try it today!

Until next time,
