When you're building an internet business with multiple teams and functions across billing, support, fulfillment, and more, you need a clear historical log of actions taken by each member on your team.
That's why we're launching audit support for businesses powered by Billgang. You'll receive event notifications when members attempt to create, update, or delete any feature within your business dashboard.
We've been tracking historical events and they're now LIVE on your business dashboard here: https://dash.billgang.com/settings/audit-log.

Fixed minor design and grid issue for storefronts on mobile devices
Fixed subdomains not correctly redirecting to custom domains
Fixed settings when saving colors on the storefront builder

Improvement
For businesses powered by Billgang that don't have a custom domain, we're today announcing support for a shortened link for your storefront.
If you currently use our managed domain, *.billgang.store, and don't have a custom domain connected, you can now visit your business dashboard domain settings and enable the shortened link here: https://dash.billgang.com/settings/domains.
Among others with this announcement, we'll automatically disable access to your managed *.billgang.store domain if you enable a custom or shortened domain.
If you enable the *bgng.io shortened domain or connect a custom domain, we'll forward and redirect customers to your updated domain.
This week, we've also pushed a number of platform improvements (as always) and a couple of minor bug fixes:
Fixed minor frontend issues when attempting to save edits to your storefront
Fixed sorting categories via the business dashboard not reflecting on storefronts
Fixed planned release date for upsell and add-on products
Fixed minor grammatical issues throughout the business dashboard
Fixed recent activity not displaying correct review stars when received
Fixed display issues on storefronts when customizing supported payment methods
Fixed minor backend failed response when saving certain payment methods
Fixed design issue with multiple data formats for website traffic
Fixed error responses across the business dashboard for clarity
Fixed issues when trying to save edits to storefronts via the builder
While these improvements may be small in number, they're impactful in various other ways:
Improved frontend dropdown designs on various modals
Improved short descriptions displays on storefronts
Improved error handling and 404 pages on storefronts
Improved redirects for storefronts with custom domains
Improved contact block base design on storefronts
Improved warehouse deletions with warnings for linked products
P.S: For businesses on our BETA period, you'll get access to this shortened subdomain during this period. Feel free to upgrade your plan here to get access to custom and shortened domains after our BETA period: https://dash.billgang.com/settings/billing.

As businesses grow, so do their demands for growth-critical data. Today, we're delivering just that. With this targeted analytics update, businesses powered by Billgang can now track:
Top payment types and products by revenue or orders within a specific timeframe.
Website traffic by customer location, device, and browser.
Traffic conversions, based on a percentage of customers that reached checkout, purchased, or abandoned.
Our systems are sanitizing and continuing to collect tracking data as announced on Monday. Storefront analytics will gradually come online within the next 12-24 hours with already collected data.
Since our previously announced changelog, we've also pushed countless more bug fixes and platform improvements across the business dashboard and storefront builder, here's a look at what's been fixed:
Fixed a minor bug when attempting to delete a custom domain
Fixed storefront product pages by removing terms, refund, and privacy policies if disabled
Fixed return values when saving note to customers through the product editor
Fixed unhandled errors when creating a new payment through various supported payment types
Fixed frontend display on storefronts with long product cards on Safari browsers

Fixed issue when saving short descriptions on existing products
Fixed displays for various input placeholders to reflect accurate data
Fixed issue when saving secondary and multiple variant names
Fixed minor frontend display for cards without any data on storefronts
Fixed issues when attempting to save settings for certain payment types
We've also had some time to introduce a couple of quality of life updates (as always):

Introduced the ability to customize supported payments per payment type
