Zendra changelog

  • 2026-07-27

    A cleaner Plans list, and an expiry date picker that opens on the right month

    Fixes & improvements

    • The Plans page shows a duration only for plans with a set access length, so subscription and lifetime plans list cleanly under just their name.
    • When you add a membership from a customer’s page in your Shopify admin, the expiry date calendar opens on the month of the date you’ve already entered, so reviewing or adjusting it takes one less click.

  • 2026-07-20

    Memberships now end automatically when their order is refunded or canceled — plus test sends for member emails.

    New capabilities

    • Memberships end automatically when an order is canceled or refunded. Cancel or refund the order that granted a membership and Zendra removes the access it paid for — member access always matches payments, with no manual cleanup.
    • Preview member emails with a test send. A new “Send test email” button in the notification template editor sends you the template rendered with realistic sample data, so you can check your copy and Liquid variables in a real inbox before saving.

    Fixes & improvements

    • Shopify Flow’s “Membership started” trigger now fires when a gift membership is claimed, so gift recipients enter your welcome automations, too.
    • The membership widget setup check now recognizes custom product templates, so stores with customized themes see an accurate setup status.

  • 2026-07-13

    Set a free trial length that fits your product, not your billing cycle.

    Trial length is its own setting now

    • Set an exact free-trial length in days, independent of your billing interval. A trial no longer has to match your billing cycle, so you can offer the trial length that fits your product instead of your invoice schedule.

    Improved content restriction

    • Content-restriction calls to action now send shoppers to a dedicated Memberships collection, giving members a cleaner path to the products their membership unlocks.

    Fixes & improvements

    • Prices and discounts throughout the customer account now display in your store’s own currency format, so member-facing amounts match the rest of your Shopify storefront.
    • Faster order processing, so membership access is granted more quickly after checkout.

  • 2026-07-06

    Turn individual member notifications on or off — plus gift membership tags now follow the recipient.

    New capabilities

    • Turn individual notifications on or off. You can now enable or disable each member notification template right from your notification settings, so you send only the messages you want.

    Fixes & improvements

    • Gift membership tags now apply to the recipient. When someone buys a membership as a gift, the plan’s tags are added to the recipient’s account, keeping your customer segments accurate.

  • 2026-06-29

    Recognize your members at the counter — membership details now appear in Shopify POS, plus a faster memberships list.

    New capabilities

    • See membership details in Shopify POS. When you look up a customer in POS, their Zendra membership details now appear right on the customer details screen — so your staff can recognize members and give them the right service at the counter.

    Fixes & improvements

    • A faster, easier-to-navigate memberships list. The Memberships page now loads quickly and lets you filter and sort members by status, key dates, and the plan they’re on.

  • 2026-06-22

    Sell memberships as gifts! Buyers purchase a prepaid membership for someone else, who enjoys access for the full prepaid term.

    New capabilities

    • Sell prepaid gift memberships. Customers can buy a membership as a gift, and the recipient claims it with an invite to enjoy access for the full prepaid duration you set on the plan. Gift buyers, recipients, and prepaid terms are all managed for you, with built-in emails that invite the recipient to claim their gift and remind them as the prepaid term nears its end.

    Improvements

    • A Memberships collection builds itself. Zendra automatically creates and maintains a “Memberships” smart collection, so your membership products stay grouped without manual upkeep.
    • Point members somewhere useful from an empty memberships page. When a customer has no memberships yet, you can route their account’s empty state to a call-to-action of your choice from your General settings.

  • 2026-06-15

    Ask Shopify Sidekick about your membership program — at-risk members, revenue, plan stats, and more, without leaving Shopify.

    New capabilities

    • Get membership answers from Shopify Sidekick. You can now ask Shopify Sidekick about your membership program — surface at-risk members, look up an individual member, and check membership revenue, plan breakdowns, and program stats without leaving Shopify. Available on all plans.

    Improvements

    • Product discount perks now include a “Don’t stack with sale prices” option, so member discounts won’t apply on top of items that are already on sale.

  • 2026-06-08

    Revamped editor for email notifications and fixes for content restriction.

    Improvements

    • A faster, lighter Liquid template editor. The Liquid editor in Settings has been rebuilt for quicker loading and crisper syntax highlighting.
    • Smoother metaobject selection. The metaobjects picker now handles empty lists cleanly, so you only see options when there are options to choose.

  • 2026-05-25

    Member names now appear on customer-account membership cards, plus price-override and renewal-email fixes.

    What’s new

    • Member names appear on their membership card. When a member opens a membership from the Shopify customer account, the header now shows the member’s name alongside the membership details.

    Improvements

    • Save price overrides on every billing plan. Price overrides apply to any billing plan, not just the default one.
    • Members receive renewal emails on every renewal, including their first. The “Membership Renewed” notification fires on the first paid renewal in addition to every renewal afterward.

  • 2026-05-18

    Member Content perks can now target article tags, plus more reliable Discord sync and Shopify tagging.

    What’s new

    • Target Member Content perks by article tag. When you set up a “members can view content” perk, you can now scope it to all articles with a specific tag — alongside the existing options of picking individual articles or whole blogs. Useful for keeping a rolling collection (e.g. “premium” or “vip-only”) gated as you publish new posts.

    Improvements

    • Smoother plan tagging in Shopify. Customer and order tags for plans with long names now sync reliably to Shopify; the integration trims values to Shopify’s per-tag limit instead of dropping the whole batch.
    • More reliable Discord member sync. Scheduled Discord reconciliation runs against the right shop context, improving the consistency of role assignments for connected members.
    • Strengthened security. Patched security advisories in two upstream dependencies used by the embedded admin and the customer-account extension.
