Code Black Belt October updates: New features, badges, and more

Welcome to the October edition of our Code Black Belt update series

Over the past few months, we have been focused on thoughtful work and meaningful progress. In this post, we are excited to share new features, recent milestones, and useful resources to help you grow your business with smart upselling strategies.

Smarter upselling with new features

We have rolled out important updates to our recommendation apps, Also Bought and Frequently Bought Together, aimed at giving you more control and better results:

  • Shuffle global recommendations: Keep suggestions fresh by shuffling global product recommendations every time a customer visits.
  • Manual recommendations control: Enable or disable manual recommendations without needing to delete them.
  • Tag-based recommendations: Show specific products based on tags to match customer preferences more closely.

These features are designed to help you improve conversion rates and increase average order value with tailored product suggestions.

Combine reviews with product recommendations

Our recommendation apps, Also Bought and Frequently Bought Together, now integrate with Ryviu: Product Reviews & QA, allowing you to display product ratings directly within the recommendation widgets. This builds trust and encourages customers to take action, right from the widget.

Join the Shop Circle affiliate program

Are you a developer, influencer, or content creator working with Shopify merchants? You can now earn rewards by referring merchants to apps through the Shop Circle Affiliate Program.

It’s a great way to monetize your content and connect your audience with powerful tools.

Built for Shopify: 6 apps and counting

We are proud to share that six of our apps have received the Built for Shopify badge.
This recognition underscores our dedication to delivering high-quality, secure, and reliable app experiences for merchants.

If you haven't yet explored these apps, we would like to invite you to take a look. We are working towards achieving this badge across our entire portfolio.

Quick reminder for app users

If you are using Frequently Bought Together, do not forget to update your app permissions to ensure discount features work properly. 

Follow these steps in our documentation to make sure everything is set up correctly.

Thank you for being part of the Code Black Belt story. Together, we will build better, more innovative solutions for Shopify merchants worldwide.

If you would like to know more about our apps, or if you have any questions, feel free to reach out! We’re here to help you succeed.
