A new trigger is available to you in Workflows: Subscription Paused . This means that you can automatically take action whenever a membership is paused instead of canceling. Pausing is a way to give a member a break without completely breaking their subscription. Previously, a membership had to be completely cancelled and then repurchased, so this is just another way to give you more flexibility around how you manage your member journey.

We’ve rolled out two enhancements to streamline your workflow on the social planner dashboard: New Socials Shortcut: You can now quickly access your Social Planner with the "Add Socials" shortcut directly from the dashboard. One-click access to streamline your posting workflow! Sticky Dropdown Actions: In the social accounts dropdown, the "Add Account" and "Add Group" options are now sticky—always visible at the bottom for easy access, no matter how many accounts you’ve added. Why it matters? Many users were unaware of how to start using the Social Planner or found the navigation buried. This shortcut reduces friction for new users and makes the Social Planner more discoverable and accessible for everyone. Also, when users had multiple social accounts or groups, key actions were pushed out of view, leading to confusion and extra scrolling. Making them sticky ensures that these critical actions are always visible, no matter how full the list gets.

We’ve rolled out a series of user experience improvements designed specifically to enhance your members’ mobile shopping experience. From product discovery to post-purchase, everything’s been fine-tuned to be faster, cleaner, and easier to use. Here’s what’s new: Product Ratings, Simplified: We’ve added a single star emoji with rating count at the bottom left of each product image—streamlined and easier to scan. Smarter Sort & Filter: The filter experience has been completely redesigned with a more intuitive layout—and we’ve fixed the price filter overflow issue on smaller screens. Dropdown Display Fixes: Dropdowns in the “Create Review” section now behave as expected—no more overflow issues on mobile. Cart Drawer Upgrade: Better organization for subscription info and error messages makes the cart drawer more user-friendly. R edesigned Cart Page: We reorganized cart item details for a cleaner, more digestible look. Checkout Page Summary: A new accordion-style cart summary lets customers easily toggle cart details during checkout. Better Coupon Placement: The coupon field is now conveniently located near the subtotal and total, right where your customers expect it. Thank You Page Refinement: We’ve rearranged the layout to improve visibility and give your customers a more polished post-purchase experience. These updates are all about removing friction and helping your shoppers glide from product discovery to checkout, especially on mobile.

This latest update to JourneyCARE provides your organization with more flexibility when it comes to collecting payments. You now have the option to pass on credit card processing charges, or other miscellaneous fees, to the person making the payment. With just a quick setting, you can ensure your association isn't absorbing extra costs. To take advantage of this new capability, go to your Payment Settings and look for the section for Miscellaneous Fees. Turn it on, set your percentage, choose a label (like “Processing Fee”), and decide exactly where you want that fee to show up. Just check the boxes and you're good to go! The fee is automatically calculated based on the transaction amount and shows up as a separate line item during checkout, so everything stays transparent for your members and supporters. A couple of things to keep in mind: This applies to new transactions only. Nothing changes on invoices that have already been sent out or payment plans that are already in place. Also, it is very important to know that the rules around credit card processing fees are different in different states and local jurisdictions. So know what rules impact you based on your organization's location or where your customer transactions occur. In the future, we're planning to expand this capability to more areas like Ecommerce and mobile point-of-sale. Plus, we plan to allow you to set different fees by channel and provider, so watch for future updates on that.

Just a quick heads up for those of you who use JourneyCARE to send conference postcards, annual reports, donor letters, etc. We are expecting to see a USPS postage rate increase coming in mid-July - July 14th. This upcoming change will result in an average increase of about 7% across various mail formats. It will be important to factor this into your direct mail planning. Our direct mail partner, Postalytics, will be publishing detailed pricing updates within the next couple of weeks to help you prepare. In the meantime, remember that you can PRE-PURCHASE mail credits that are good to use for a full year. This means that you lock in current postage pricing and help control your costs. If this is of interest, you can purchase credits inside your JourneyCARE account.
