Beta 3 of Simple Renew is Here

simple renew logoSimple Renew is the easiest way to create a membership site with Joomla.

We're delighted to say we've released Beta 3 of Simple Renew.

We're getting closer and closer to a stable release of Simple Renew. This extension is now powering Joomlashack.com and an increasing number of live sites.

So what's new in Beta 3?

New Invoices Screen

You can now allow your customers to download invoices directly from your site.

You can add a menu link to Simple Renew > Invoices. Here's what that screen looks like:

Coupon Descriptions

This is nice little improvement suggested by one of our testers.

Inside Recurly, you can enter a description for your coupons:

You can now show that desription to your customers. This helps them understand the discount they're getting:

You Can Use Any Currency

We've put a lot of work into making sure Simple Renew works smoothly with multiple currencies, so you can now accept payments in any currency that Recurly allows.

A New Design for Plan Pages

We've been experimenting with the design of the Simple Renew plan pages.

There were quite a few settings available and our testers reported that they didn't understand them all clearly.

We've changed the plan settings so that they take a narrative form. We think this makes it much easier for beginners to understand the plans they're creating:

Zero. Zip. Nada. $0.
