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.

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! 

We’re excited to announce that Nathan Hatfield of Gamelyn Games - known for their Tiny Epic series - is making a not so Tiny move! With a deep understanding of the crowdfunding experience, we’re excited to have Nathan join our team of amazing people and work together on Gamefound and the Future of Creativity.

Give Nathan a warm welcome in the comments! 

Until next time!
