Launch Your Online Teaching Business with Hosted Courses

As we bid farewell to 2023, we would like to take the time to celebrate the incredible journey we’ve had at Mainstack.

This year was marked by a series of groundbreaking updates that have transformed our platform into something truly extraordinary.

We were hard at work paying close attention to the requests and suggestions of our users and we are glad we can bring to life most of their requests. From having a general makeover of the platform to enhancing user profiles, and revolutionizing our storefront. Our key focus this year was improving our Link-in-Bio and Storefront products, and we are proud of what we’ve achieved.

In this article, we will take a delightful stroll through the highlights of our year.

Mainstack V3; The One Place for Everything YOU.

The desire to serve and address the pain point of our users sent us back to the drawing board to envisage a new Mainstack. We remodeled and launched Mainstack V3 with You — our users, in mind. We moved from a simple, straightforward design to a bold, audacious look that reflects our efforts to ensure we simplify business and global monetization for our users.

Storefront Improvements

AI Integration to the storefront that makes product setup seamless.

 Our top priority this year was to ensure we create a seamless and immersive experience for our users. With AI integration into our storefronts, users can now generate their product or service description with a click.

‍

Save to draft that helps you craft your storefront with precision.

Crafting the perfect product information is an art, and we have made it even more precise with the Save to Draft feature. Now, users who do not have all the product information can save it to draft and pick up from where they left off, thereby, fine-tuning their product setup before making it live and ensuring everything is just the way they want it.

CRM Tools that help you manage Discounts, Automation, and your Contacts.

We transformed into a comprehensive business tool with the introduction of CRM Tools. These tools help manage discounts, set up automation for a seamless sales experience, and keep track of contacts effortlessly. With the CRM Tools, merchants can;

• Easily create, manage and offer discounts to their customers.

• Automate personalized emails post-purchase for a seamless customer experience, and

• Recover potential sales with automated abandoned cart emails.

Our users now put their business in the palm of their hands with our all-encompassing CRM Tools.

Flexible pricing models that boost product sales.

 We took product sales to another level by adding innovative pricing models designed to maximize flexibility and boost revenue. By introducing Pay-what-you-want, Fast action pricing and Pay-in-tranches pricing options, we empowered our users to offer their clients/customers a spectrum of choices. Now, they can effortlessly put their earnings on autopilot, taking their sales strategy to new heights.

Ensure ongoing connection with phone numbers on checkout

 In response to the most significant request from our users in Q4 2023, we successfully implemented a game-changing update just before the year ended. Now, in addition to email addresses, customers can input their phone numbers directly on the checkout page. This feature empowers Merchants with dual contact options ensuring they never lose touch with their valuable customers.

Link-in-Bio Improvements

Link-in-Bio Pro features that elevate users’ online presence.

 We launched the Link-in-Bio pro features this year and took our user profiles to the next level. From Pro Templates to a Verification Badge, Custom Domain, and integrations, users now have the power to customize their profiles like never before.

‍

Contact Card that helps you connect in style.

 This year, we introduced the Contact Card feature, allowing our users to showcase their information in a sleek and stylish way. A single quick scan gives your audience all they need to connect with you, making networking a breeze.

Card that helps you convey more with just a picture.

With the card feature, users can effortlessly showcase and sell their products directly from their Link-in-Bio. Utilizing the Card feature helps to elevate visual storytelling and product promotion, thereby, simplifying engagement and boosting sales with just a compelling image.

Templates and Themes that unleash creativity.

 With the addition of new Templates and Themes, our users can now personalize their Link-in-Bio like never before. They can choose from an array of professionally designed templates and use custom themes like a background image cover or a gradient, to make their mainstack presence uniquely theirs.

Verification Badge that gives a stamp of authenticity.

 We upped the credibility game with the Verification Badge for our Link-in-Bio pro plan users. Now, users can proudly display their badge, ensuring that their Mainstack presence is not only authentic but also recognized as such. Trust and reliability have never looked this good!

Thumbnails as a visual feast for your buttons.

Because small details make a big difference, we introduced Thumbnails on link buttons to add a visual feast to our users’ profiles, making navigation intuitive and delightful for their audience.
