Code Black Belt January updates: New annual plans, live previews, and smarter shipping rates

Happy New Year! We’re kicking off 2026 with a suite of updates designed to help you plan for long-term growth. From new ways to save on your favorite apps to enhanced design tools, here is what’s new at Code Black Belt this month.

Lock in value with New Annual Plans

We are excited to announce that all Code Black Belt apps are now available with an annual subscription plan.

By switching from monthly billing to an annual plan, you can:

  • 💰 Save on Costs: Enjoy a reduced price compared to the standard monthly rate.

  • 🔒 Lock in Features: Ensure uninterrupted access to all features and updates for the next 12 months.

  • 📈 Focus on Growth: Simplify your billing and focus on scaling your store’s long-term performance.

Customize with confidence: Live Preview for Frequently Bought Together

Design adjustments are now easier and more accurate. Frequently Bought Together now includes a live preview feature directly within the Preferences menu.

In the Visual Styles section, you can now see in real time how your widget will look as you adjust colors, fonts, and layouts. No more hitting "save" and refreshing your storefront, get the look perfect before you publish.

For more information on how to use this feature, read this article.

More precise delivery with Shipping Rates Calculator Plus

We have improved the Shipping Rates Calculator Plus to offer better compatibility with Shopify Markets.

This update ensures:

  • 📍 Regional Accuracy: More precise shipping rates across different geographic regions.

  • 💱 Currency Support: Reliable cost delivery that factors in local currencies.

  • 🤝 Customer Trust: Clearer, more reliable delivery costs shown instantly in the cart.

Automatic Translation of ‘What’s New’

Staying informed should be effortless, regardless of what language you speak. The ‘What’s New’ section inside our app preferences now supports automatic AI translations.

Updates and announcements will automatically be displayed in the language set in your preferences, making it easier than ever to stay updated in your native language.
