Multi-installment plans, bonus amount management improvements & a big announcement!
Multi-installment plans
We’re stretching out our stretch pay options! Backers can now have any number of installment plans, after finishing one, they can choose another (while still being able to preview the old one). They can also upgrade the stretch pay plan, after which the previous plan will show as "finished" and the new one will appear. This option still needs to be offered by the creator, but if all the conditions are met, the option to take another one or upgrade the plan will appear at checkout.

Bonus amount management improvements
Backers can have trouble managing their pledges with bonus amounts, and they sometimes make extra payments, which can lead to refunds. That's why we've made improvements to the "Bonus Amount" feature in Pledge Managers, for both imported orders and native crowdfunding pledges. With this update, backers will now receive reminders about this payment during checkout and be given the option to either apply it towards editing their order with extra items, or shipping (tax must be paid separately) or leave it as a tip!
