Improvements & Fixes
A Dedicated Sign-Up Page for Your Newsletter
Your shop now has a standalone newsletter sign-up page at "/subscribe" (e.g. yourshop.com/subscribe) that shows only your sign-up form.
Share Landing Pages with Affiliates
Make your landing pages available for your affiliates to promote. Just enable the "Available for affiliates" option in a landing page's settings. The page then appears in your affiliates' area next to your products, each with their affiliate link attached. Any resulting purchases are automatically attributed to that affiliate.
Transaction IDs for Easier Payment Mapping
The order details and the Zapier triggers now include each payment's transaction ID, the reference from your payment provider (e.g. PayPal or Stripe). The orders export menu also offers a new payments export that lists every individual payment with its transaction ID. This makes payments easier to reconcile.
Jun 12, 2026
Withdrawal button (EU shops only)
As of 19 June 2026, a withdrawal button is legally required in online retail. We have already activated it automatically for all shops based in the EU, with nothing for you to set up.
Your shop footer now shows a „Withdraw from contract“ button. Customers use it to submit a withdrawal with their order number and email and receive an immediate confirmation of receipt. You are notified by email and review each withdrawal yourself as usual, no refund is triggered automatically.
The footer was slightly adjusted to fit the button, and you can control whether it is shown anytime in your legal settings.
To-do: update your legal texts
Your privacy policy and cancellation policy must mention the new withdrawal. Re-apply our updated templates in your
legal settings or extend your own texts. You'll find all steps and the ready-to-use text blocks in the
help center.
May 29, 2026
Improvements & Fixes
Strike-Through Price on Order Bumps
When an order bump's price is lower than the regular price of the linked product, the regular price now appears struck through next to the bump price. Customers see the value of the offer at a glance.
Customizable Sign-Up Form for External Products
For "Direct link" products with the email opt-in enabled, the form shown before the redirect now also asks for first and last name. You can also customize the form's title and button text.
Refreshed Default Styles for New Shops
Newly created shops now start with tidier default styles: more subtle colors, better-matched fonts and buttons, and a visible login link.
Google Search Console
Under "Tracking & SEO" in the shop settings, add your Google Search Console verification code to verify your shop there and see how it performs in Google search.
May 28, 2026
Manage Email Automations More Flexibly
The trigger of an email automation can now be changed after creation, even while it's active. Add another freebie or product to an existing automation, swap it out, or switch the trigger type.
The "Recipients" tab also lets you remove individual recipients from a running automation.
May 26, 2026
Custom Text and Banner for the Checkout
Make a product's checkout page more your own. Add an extra description text and a banner image per product that show only on the checkout page.
The description text is great for extra notes, benefits, or trust-building content right before purchase. The banner image appears in its own row above the product title and replaces the small thumbnail there (recommended size: 1200 × 300 px).
You'll find the options when editing a product under "Customize the checkout page".
May 25, 2026
Improvements & Fixes
Improved Checkout
First and last name are now collected in two separate fields at checkout. The discount code field is now more visible and can be hidden per product when you don't need it. The checkout and order bumps have also been visually refreshed.
Insert Buttons in Product Text
The text editor for product descriptions now has an "Insert button" option. Add buttons with your own text and link directly into your description.
Manually Assign Sales to an Affiliate
Credit a sale to one of your affiliates afterwards from the order details, for example when a purchase wasn't tracked via the affiliate link. The commission is then created automatically within a few minutes.
Dedicated Onboarding for Affiliates
Anyone who registers through an affiliate invite link now lands directly in the affiliate area instead of the seller onboarding. If they later want to sell their own products too, a prompt in the dashboard guides them through the setup.
Booking Data in Zapier
The "New Order" and "New Paid Order" Zapier triggers now include appointment booking data: start, end, and the Zoom join link and password. This makes it easy to automate calendar invites and reminders.
May 12, 2026
Referral Commission for Affiliate Programs
Enable an optional referral commission for your affiliate program (e.g. 3%) in the affiliate settings. Affiliates who recruit other affiliates for your program then earn a small commission on their sales. It's paid from your margin and doesn't reduce the direct affiliate's commission.

Mar 10, 2026
New Branding, Backend and improved Dashboard
Tentary receives a new branding including a new logo after five years. In the process, we have also modernized the backend and overhauled the user interface so that Tentary is ready for many new features in the coming months.

Only relevant for EU sellers:

Links to this page are therefore automatically filtered out and hidden from all terms and imprint pages of Tentary shops. The template texts no longer reference it either.

For other products, you can offer an extended period of e.g. 30 days.
The withdrawal period is configured in the
product settings.
