Fileflare changelog

  • 2026-06-29

    Meet the redesigned Fileflare dashboard — download stats up front, guided setup for new shops, one-click test orders, and drag-and-drop uploads.

    Meet the new dashboard

    • A redesigned dashboard. Your Fileflare home screen has a fresh look that puts your key download stats front and center, with a date range you can switch and at-a-glance cards for your plan and storage, recent orders, and top assets.
    • A guided setup for new shops. New stores get a step-by-step onboarding flow that walks you through attaching a product and sending a test order, so you can confirm everything works before your first real sale.
    • Send a test order right from the dashboard. Check your delivery setup end to end without waiting for a live purchase.
    • Upload assets with drag-and-drop. A new upload experience lets you drop files straight into Fileflare.

    Browse every download, page after page.

    Fixes & improvements

    • Paging through the “View all downloads” page works smoothly again on the Simple download page template, so customers can browse their full download history across every page.

  • 2026-06-15

    Stamp encrypted PDFs, plus safer plan changes and smarter imports.

    What’s new

    • Stamp PDFs that are already encrypted or password-protected. Protected source files that previously couldn’t be stamped now go through stamping like any other file.

    Fixes & improvements

    • When you switch plans, Fileflare now confirms the new plan fits your current storage first, so a move that wouldn’t leave room for your files is caught up front instead of putting your account over the limit.
    • CSV imports map rows to the correct product and variant, even when a parent product and its variants share a SKU.
    • PDF stamping handles unusual page sizes and simultaneous downloads of the same file reliably.

  • 2026-06-08

    Stamp customizations or personalization on PDFs using line item properties.

    What’s new

    • You can now stamp line item properties — like checkout personalization and custom fields — onto your delivered PDFs, alongside the order and customer details.

    Fixes & improvements

    • We tightened control on assets and download links further to prevent unauthorized access.
    • Detaching assets in Safari now works as expected.

  • 2026-06-01

    A refreshed plans & pricing page, plus reliability and security improvements

    What’s new

    • The Plans & pricing page has a refreshed layout, with clearer plan cards, an easier billing-frequency toggle, and a smoother plan-change flow.

    Fixes & improvements

    • Download, order, and product links now resolve reliably, so your customers land on the right page every time.
    • We’ve applied the latest security updates to Fileflare’s underlying libraries, including Symfony, to stay current with known advisories.

  • 2026-05-25

    Refreshed checkout and customer-account download blocks, plus broader pending-payment protection and a faster products list.

    What’s new

    • Refreshed checkout and customer-account download blocks. The checkout “your downloads” section and the customer-account all-downloads view have been rewritten with cleaner loading states, friendlier empty states, and a smoother upgrade banner.
    • “Block downloads for pending payments” now covers authorized orders, too. The toggle in Settings → Download control extends to Shopify orders in both pending and authorized states, giving you broader protection on uncaptured payments.

    Improvements

    • Products list loads quickly on large catalogs. The products list page now opens near-instantly, even on stores with many products.

  • 2026-05-18

    Attach files once at the product level, refunds revoke downloads automatically, plus a public API fix.

    What’s new

    • Attach files at the product level — once. Upload a file at the product level and every variant includes it automatically, alongside any files attached directly to a variant. Both sets are delivered together, deduplicated, so each customer gets the full set without repeats. New variants added later inherit the product-level files automatically — no extra setup. A new card on the product page and a refreshed variants table show what each variant will deliver.

    Improvements

    • Refunded line items revoke their downloads automatically. When you refund or remove a line item in Shopify, Fileflare now picks that up via the orders/updated webhook and removes the corresponding download access. No manual cleanup needed.
    • Cleaner errors from the public API. The V1 attach and detach endpoints now return a 422 validation error when array items aren’t scalar IDs, instead of a 500. Well-formed requests are unchanged.

  • 2026-05-04

    New optional download access for pending payments, plus clearer error messages when uploads fail.

    What’s new

    • Optional download access for pending payments. A new toggle in Settings → Download Control → Global limitations lets you deliver downloads to customers while their payment is still pending — useful for stores using bank transfers, delayed capture, or net-terms invoicing. Off by default, so existing behavior is unchanged unless you turn it on.

    Improvements

    • More helpful messages when an upload fails. When an asset upload runs into a problem (file type, size, or storage configuration), you now see a clear error explaining what happened instead of a generic failure.

  • 2026-04-27

    Audio and PDF download control, more reliable email tracking, and faster framework underneath.

    Improvements

    • The “Disable file downloads” setting now extends to audio and PDF assets, giving you complete control over which file types your customers can save versus only preview.
    • Email event tracking is more reliable. SendGrid webhook processing handles high-volume bursts smoothly so opens, clicks, and bounces land consistently in your reporting.
    • App-wide performance and reliability improvements from a major framework upgrade behind the scenes.

  • 2026-04-20

    Set download limits on individual files in an order, plus PDF stamping and SMTP improvements.

    New capabilities

    • Set per-asset download limits. Override the default download count on individual assets inside an order — useful when a customer needs another download for a specific file, or when an asset should have its own cap independent of the order or plan limit.

    Improvements

    • PDF stamp templates now support an opacity setting for more control over how subtle or prominent your stamps appear.
    • The Products page has a new filter for products with assets attached or products without, making it easier to find products that still need digital files.
    • Merchants on plans that support custom email hosts can now send bulk asset emails without the 10,000/day cap when using their own SMTP server.
    • Choose “None” as your global PDF stamp template default to clear a previously-set default without picking another.

    Fixes

    • The {{orderProductQuantity}} PDF stamp variable now correctly reflects the downloaded product instead of all line items in the order.
    • Asset replacement is now guarded until the new file’s upload completes, so you won’t end up with a broken download link if you navigate or refresh mid-upload.

  • 2026-04-13

    Speed & reliability optimizations

    • Search is back to working smoothly across Assets, Orders, Products, and the product/asset attachment modals.
    • Smoother first-time install and sign in experience for new shops connecting Fileflare.
    • Background processing runs faster, making sure your store data is always in-sync with Fileflare.

  • 2026-03-30

    PDF stamping enhancements

    • Fixed PDF stamp merge tag bug — The {{orderId}} variable in PDF stamps now correctly replaces with order details.
    • New orderIp merge tag — You can now use {{orderIp}} in PDF stamp templates to include the customer’s order IP address. Useful for audit trails and compliance documentation.
