Code Black Belt March updates: Discount permissions, Translation API, and new partnerships

Translation API integration across apps

We’re excited to share that Frequently Bought Together, Add to Cart Anywhere, and Keep & Share Your Cart are now fully integrated with the Shopify Translation API.

This means:

  • Merchants can display translated widget text directly in their store
  • Customers around the world can enjoy a localized shopping experience
  • Managing multilingual content is now easier and more reliable

With this update, all Code Black Belt apps are ready for translation, except for Video Background and Currency Converter Plus, which do not contain translatable text.

Helpful documentation is available to guide you step by step:

Frequently Bought Together continues trending

For the third month in a row, Frequently Bought Together has been trending on the Shopify App Store, a clear sign of its continued popularity and trust among merchants.

By offering upselling and cross-selling features that suggest relevant products, Frequently Bought Together helps merchants increase cart value while improving the shopping experience for customers.

If you haven’t tried it yet, now’s the perfect time: Explore Frequently Bought Together.
