We wrote to you recently to advise that we would be rolling out a new, improved overlay UI. We are pleased to report that we've started rolling this out today. As a reminder, these improvements include combined screens to reduce the number of steps that your customers have to take to complete your checkout.

We have been testing the overlay checkout for several months and have seen improvements in checkout conversion, with some customer’s seeing an increase of up to 2.8%.

Announcement

We are glad to announce that V4.4 of the Mac SDK has now been released!

As mentioned in previous communications, even though you do not need to update the SDK to be ready for the new macOS Ventura, the new version includes bug fixes, improvements relevant to macOS Ventura and new methods:

• Improvements for SwiftUI - We’ve updated the UI methods to make it easier to use with SwiftUI. You can download the updated Sample app here, where we demonstrate best practices for using the SDK with SwiftUI.
• Ventura UI Updates - The UI has been restructured for Ventura to allow for future customisation and improvements.
• Introduction of Activation Reclaim methods - which allows you to manage existing/previous activations for a license through the SDK and to deactivate older activations if the license being used has run out of available activations. Please find the documentation here
• Fixed memory leaks.
• Resolved deprecations and warnings for macOS Ventura.
• Updated license persistence functionality to switch deprecated unarchiveObjectWithData methods to unarchivedObjectOfClass when using Ventura.

You can head here to download the latest release of our Mac SDK.

Improvement

Today we finalized improvements to our webhook processing system that allows us to support more than one URL for your Paddle events. This is particularly useful for those working with 3rd party integrations such as affiliate platforms and analytics providers.

For more information on Paddle's webhooks, see this guide.

If you have any questions please get in touch with our team at sellers@paddle.com or via the support icon in the Paddle dashboard.

Improvement

In order to offer a frictionless checkout experience, we have recently completed optimization work to make the Paddle Checkout more performant.

To help you convert more sales and achieve revenue growth, we have reconfigured the way in which the Checkout is created. In doing so, your customers will be able to interact with your checkout a lot sooner than they previously could. We have already seen time to receive first byte reduce from 2s to 0.99s and we are continuing to monitor key performance metrics off the back of this release.

We have identified even more opportunities to make the checkout even faster and will be updating you on an ongoing basis.
