Hey everyone - it's finally here.
After months of work behind the scenes, we're officially launching the new version of the Jinxxy platform.
This is a total rebuild of how the site works, looks, and feels. From checkout to profiles to product discovery, nearly everything has been rethought and rebuilt to make the experience better for both creators and customers.

🛒 New Checkout & Cart
The checkout flow has been completely redesigned:
- You can now add multiple items to a cartand purchase them together.
- You will soonbe able toGift productsto others by username, with a personalized message. I'm delaying this until we verify that everything is currently working fine - since we already have a ton of changes coming.
- Account login & email verificationare now required to reduce errors and improve order handling. A lot of users Users will be brought back to their same cart after logging in.
- Pay what you want (PWYW) has been revamped to be easier for customers to use and give customers incentives to use (more in the next section).
- A small fixed processing fee(0.30 USD) has be added per checkout. This is paid by the customer. This isn't the platform fee-it helps cover new tax compliance costs and payment provider overhead as we grow, which will charge us per completed transaction.

💎 Loyalty Points & Rewards
We've started introducing Loyalty Points (LP) that customers can earn from creator stores.
- Customers earn LP for every dollar they spend on a creators store.
- When customers use "Pay what you want" to give more to the creator they get bonus LP.
- We've just started putting the basics of this system in but soon you will be able to give customers items, products, or discounts in exchange for LP.

🧾 Tax Compliance & Payment Providers
As Jinxxy grows globally, we’re required to collect sales tax/VAT in more regions. To stay compliant, we’ve partnered with a new provider to automatically handle all tax filings and paperwork.
Creators will not have to change anything they are currently doing. This means more transactions will now include taxes, depending on where you’re buying from. Starting sometime in the next 2 weeks.
---
🎁 Profiles, Wishlists & Lists
- Profiles now have customizable featured sections. By default for Jinxxy creators it will show the latest products you have. You can customize it by clicking the Edit Featured button on your profile.
- Add products to your wishlist, visible on your homepage and profile.
- New product listsare easier to make, manage, and share-perfect for showcasing favorites or collections.

🧾 Inventory & Order History
The inventory and order pages have been reworked and improved. It’s all in one place, way easier to use.
---
🗨️ Timeline & Feed
- Timeline posts are cleaner and easier to use
- Posts open into threads for sharing and replies
- You can click images to expand them
- There's a new quick spotlight section that will take random items from supporters and display them site wide for about 5 mins at a time.
- We're aiming to improve this system for the public feed and timeline as a place you can showcase your work and provide updates outside of your current platforms and Discord server - to improve discoverability - this is just the start.

📣 What’s Next?
It has been very difficult updating our backend systems while thousands of people were still using our very very old site, but this new site gives us the framework to move onto better things.
There's still a lot of cleanup to do but we're also happy to be able to start pushing out new features like:
- A full review system,
- Global creator codes, affiliates, and deeper community discovery tools.
