Extension Updates

We rolled out updates to keep your toolkit sharp and efficient:

Leaky Paywall – Simplecirc 1.9.5
This update brings tighter integration between Leaky Paywall and your Simplecirc database. Leaky Paywall now automatically captures address info during account lookups, making it easier to sync subscriber data across systems. There are now additional hooks after processing registration and renewal events, giving you more ways to customize automations. And, we've added a smart check for quick-register signups, helping ensure cleaner data from readers who skip traditional registration forms.

Leaky Paywall – Coupons 2.3.4
Managing promotional offers just got easier. With the new bulk import feature, you can now upload multiple coupons in one go. This is perfect for seasonal campaigns or onboarding batches of users. We've also updated the documentation to guide you through this process step-by-step.
