What's new in Paylo
What we've been building for the merchants and shoppers who use Paylo. New features, small improvements, and the occasional fix.
July 2026
Live order tracking, product add-ons and the referral program
Live order tracking on iPhone
Follow your order live from your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island as it moves from paid to on its way to delivered, see tracking details once it ships, and confirm receipt in one tap.
Shipped in iOS v1.5.0 (2026-07-22)
Product add-ons
Show shoppers exactly what comes with a product — add each extra with its own name, quantity, note and photo, and they appear in a "Comes with" section on the product page.
Shipped in iOS v1.4.5 (2026-07-05)
Chat with stores
Message a store straight from any product or service page, with the item and price already filled in — it works even when something is out of stock, so you can ask about a restock.
Shipped in iOS v1.4.2 (2026-07-11)
Referral program
Invite friends and businesses to Paylo with your personal link or QR code, and earn rewards as the people you refer join and start using Paylo.
Shipped in iOS v1.4.0 (2026-07-09)
Guided tours in the business app
Three short guided tours walk new merchants through the app, adding a first item, and the settings that help you get paid — replayable anytime from Help & Support.
Shipped in iOS v1.5.0 (2026-07-25)
Paylo Creator Network
Creators can now apply to partner with Paylo merchants directly through the new application form.
Age-restricted goods policy
A clear policy for adult and age-restricted products across our Terms, Privacy and Cookie policies — merchants can mark a product 18+ and shoppers confirm their age before viewing it.
Shipped in iOS v1.4.6 (2026-07-09)
Search engine freshness
Changed pages are now submitted to search engines automatically, so updates appear in results sooner.
June 2026
Storefront analytics and Store Health
Storefront analytics
A live analytics view in the business app covering visits, traffic sources, top locations, device breakdown, demand signals and revenue — including which items shoppers view and add to cart.
Shipped in iOS v1.3.7 (2026-06-04)
Store Health
An instant health score for your storefront with a breakdown of exactly what is missing, one tap to jump to each fix, and a "Write one for me" button that drafts your store description with AI.

Store pages now show whether a business is open or closed right now, with the exact time it closes or reopens.

Website refresh
A new Solutions page showing how Paylo helps merchants get discovered and build customer trust — including App Store reviews — plus a clearer pricing page with a full plan-comparison table and FAQ.
May 2026
Crypto payments, Paylo Credits and AI-ready storefronts
Crypto payments
Pay for products and services with crypto at checkout, or gift to a friend’s wishlist in crypto — and merchants switch acceptance on or off with a single toggle.
Shipped in iOS v1.3.4 (2026-05-16)
Pay with Paylo Credits
If your credit balance covers the order, checkout completes instantly without touching a card — with a full credits history and a setting to auto-apply credits whenever they cover your cart.

AI-ready storefronts
Storefronts now expose structured, machine-readable data so AI agents and assistants can understand and transact with Paylo stores.

Product variants, payout transparency and wishlist gifting

Shipped in iOS v1.2.0 (2026-04-06)
Payout transparency
Tap any settlement to see what the customer paid, each fee, and the exact amount landing in your account — and track every payout as Paid, Settling or Pending, powered by real transfer data.

Wishlists
Customers can save products to a wishlist, share it, and receive contributions from friends and family toward the things they want.
