Fordeer Updates: UI/UX Overhaul, Integration with New Third-party Apps, and New Pricing

In the ever-evolving digital marketplace, user experience is a key differentiator. The Fordeer team has embarked on a significant journey to enhance the UI/UX of Fordeer Product Labels & Badges on the Shopify App Store. This blog post dives into the purpose behind these changes, highlights the key improvements, and discusses how we enhance the overall user experience.

I. UI/UX Improvements

1. Genuine Feedback on the Previous Version

While the app has always been a robust tool for Shopify merchants, there were some areas where users felt improvements were necessary. Here are a few candid observations about the previous version:

• Complex Navigation: Users often found the navigation system somewhat cluttered and unintuitive. Finding specific features required multiple clicks, which could be frustrating for those in a hurry.
• Outdated Visuals: The design, though functional, felt a bit outdated. Users expressed a desire for a more modern, visually appealing interface that would align better with contemporary design standards.
• Limited Customization: While the app provided various customization options, some users felt limited by the lack of advanced settings and the flexibility to create truly unique labels and badges.

2. Purpose Behind the Changes

The primary goal of these changes is to streamline the user interface, making it more intuitive and efficient for users. By focusing on user feedback and modern design principles, Fordeer aims to deliver a seamless and enjoyable experience for Shopify merchants who rely on this app to enhance their product displays with labels, badges, and trust badges.

The updated UI/UX aims to:

• Improve Usability: Making the app easier to navigate and use, especially for new users.
• Enhance Visual Appeal: Modernizing the look and feel of the app to be more engaging and professional.
• Increase Efficiency: Reducing the steps required to perform key tasks, thus saving users time and effort.

This streamlined approach allows users to easily create and manage their labels and badges without any hassle.

Other Improvements

In addition to the major UI changes, several other improvements have been made:

• Enhanced Performance: The app now loads faster, providing a smoother user experience. This improvement is critical for merchants who need to make quick updates to their product labels and badges.
• Changed data collection method: A significant change was made to our data collection method to address the persistent challenge faced by many businesses that provide label and badge solutions - the issue of improper display caused by theme incompatibility. Recognizing the crucial importance of resolving this problem, our app has diligently worked towards finding the most optimal solution to overcome this obstacle more effectively.
• Elevated Functions:

Show variables on text labels: Enhance your text labels and badges effortlessly by incorporating over 10 variables automatically, such as inventory count or discount percentage. And you can use this feature even when you are in the FREE plan.

Set priority for your campaigns: Starting from now, you will have the ability to effortlessly prioritize your labels and badges. The system will determine the most suitable badge to display for a product based on its priority.

• Improved Help and Support: Access to support channels is now more prominent, ensuring users can easily find help when needed. This includes live chat, a comprehensive help center, and community forums.
• And more.

II. New Third-party Apps Integration

Fordeer has strived to prove itself and earned the trust of two major partners, which are also the top page builders on the Shopify App Store. When Fordeer is integrated with two powerful apps like Foxify and Gempages, merchants get lots of benefits:

• Seamlessly blend product labels and badges for a unified experience.
• 250+ new themes are supported. No worries about not being compatible.
• Show off product better, so more potential customers want to buy them.

1. Foxify Smart Page Builder

Foxify stands out with its AI-assisted page creation, which streamlines the design process and ensures responsiveness across all devices. It offers a comprehensive set of features, including over 150 templates, SEO optimization, and advanced analytics. The app also focuses on maximizing conversions with built-in upsell and cross-sell functionalities.

2. Gempages Landing Page Builder

GemPages offers a highly intuitive drag-and-drop editor that allows users to create and customize their Shopify store pages without any coding knowledge. The app also provides a vast library of templates and built-in marketing tools to enhance conversion rates. It supports extensive integrations with third-party apps, making it versatile and user-friendly.

III. Pricing Updates

1. Why do we introduce the new pricing?

In addition to a comprehensive user interface revamp and the introduction of several new and valuable features, we are making slight adjustments to our pricing.

These enhancements are aimed at better catering to the needs of our users and ensuring the provision of exceptional service. Pricing updates will empower us to uphold the quality of our offerings and deliver enhanced value to our esteemed customers.

2. What changes and when the new pricing take effect?

The new Fordeer Product Labels&Badges pricing currently offers only 3 main plans: Free, Standard, and Advanced.

The special pricing plan named Free_hide, intended for customers who installed before March 22, 2024, will no longer receive support to ensure the stable operation of the application.

Along with the dramatic interface updates, below are the main changes to our pricing:

• Free_hide plan: users using this plan will be automatically switched to the Free plan and enjoy the basic features listed in the Pricing section. Your existing label and badge campaigns will remain active and you can continue to edit them. In case you deactivate your old campaigns, you will only be able to create a maximum of 2 labels, and 2 badges, and won't be able to use some display conditions such as choosing specific collections, tags, variants, etc.

• Free plan: we have introduced a wide range of new customization options and the ability to use variables on text labels, which are now available in the Free version.
• Standard plan ($4,95/month to $4,99/month): this plan still allows Shopify merchants to create unlimited product labels, product badges, and trust badges for unlimited items. Other functions stay the same. By choosing the annual plan, you can enjoy a 20% discount, bringing your monthly payment down to just $3,99.
• Advanced ($8,95/month to $14,99/month): The enhanced functions are designed to provide a smooth user experience and support customers in achieving higher sales. Especially, the feature of setting priority for labels and badges, which many loyal Fordeer customers have requested, is now available in this package. Advanced plan is considered the best-value plan since it offers access to all current & future advanced features. By choosing the annual plan, you can enjoy a 33% discount, bringing your monthly payment down to just $9,99.

The new pricing will take effect on July 17, 2024.

We hope these small changes won't disappoint you. If it does, we are always ready to listen and improve. You can let us know your thoughts and desires by simply taking a minute to complete this form.

We value each of our customers and hope that you will choose to accompany us in the future.

3. How does the new pricing impact current users?

Ensuring a seamless experience for our users is our utmost priority, and we make every effort to eliminate any unexpected or unpleasant surprises.

• For existing paying users, the new pricing will not affect your current plan unless you decide to change the plan or reinstall Fordeer Product Labels&Badges from July 17, 2024.
• For Free users, of course, if you decide to upgrade from your current plan to any paid plan after July 16, 2024, you will be subject to the new pricing.
