December 2025: Going Global & Locking Down Security

135+ Currencies, One Platform
Your clients can now pay in their local currency with payment methods they trust:
- iDEAL for customers in the Netherlands

Our checkout automatically detects your customer's location and language, displaying everything in their preferred format. No configuration needed—it just works.
📊 Smart Formatting
Dates, numbers, and currencies now adapt to your audience:
- US customers see $1,234.56 and 12/25/2025
- European customers see €1.234,56 and 25/12/2025
This small detail makes a big difference in professionalism and trust.
🔒 Security Hardening
We've significantly strengthened our security infrastructure this month:
Rate Limiting Protection
- Form submissions are now rate-limited to prevent spam

- Login attempts are throttled to prevent brute force attacks
Secure Data Access
