Your Store Tools Version 3.0 Is Here!

June 2026

We’re thrilled to announce Your Store Tools Version 3.0 – our biggest release yet! This version brings a completely redesigned dashboard, powerful scheduling upgrades, a rebuilt File Manager, and meaningful improvements across all your favorite tools. Plus, we’ve completed major security and performance work behind the scenes.

Here’s a look at everything that’s new.

Dashboard

We rebuilt the dashboard from the ground up so the tools and information you use most are front and center.

• Refreshed, smarter layout that adapts to your store and plan
• Tabbed hero area – switch between Core Web Vitals and scheduled tools with a single click
• Faster Quick Launch – launch any tool instantly with loading indicators and live-updating favorites
• Live job progress – watch running jobs update in real time with progress bars and instant notifications
Scheduling

Scheduling got a significant upgrade to make recurring work easier to set up and easier to trust.

• Clearer naming – “Scheduled events” are now “Scheduled Tools” throughout the app
• Multiple schedules per job – run the same tool on several different schedules
• Schedule descriptions so you can label what each schedule is for
• Smarter notifications – emails go to the job’s email contact so the right person stays informed
• Quick “+” add-a-schedule button right from the dashboard calendar
BigCommerce File Manager ($ Add-On)

The File Manager has been completely rebuilt as a fast, native part of the app – replacing the older embedded tool. It now looks and behaves like the rest of your dashboard, and it’s far more capable.

• Folder tree sidebar with breadcrumbs for quick navigation through your storage
• Drag-and-drop or button uploads straight into the folder you’re viewing
• Create, rename, and delete folders and files individually or in bulk
• Built-in text editor for editing CSV, HTML, CSS, JS, JSON, and more without leaving the page
• Inline image preview for your images
• Right-click context menu to copy a file’s URL, download, edit, rename, or delete
• Fullscreen mode and loading indicators on every action
• Clearer error handling – incompatible files are now rejected with more helpful information
CopyCat Category Duplicator ($ Add-On)

CopyCat picked up three meaningful improvements.

• Bulk category copy with a tree picker – pick a category and its entire subtree and copy the whole branch in one action. Search, expand, collapse, and see a live preview of what will be created
• Copied products show up on your storefront again – we fixed a BigCommerce behavior change that had stopped mirrored products from appearing
• Optionally copy the category page banner – a new toggle copies the source category’s marketing banner onto the duplicated category (off by default)
Billing
• Clearer payment-decline notifications and the ability to update your billing information yourself when a payment needs attention
• Add-on-only customers now see a billing card with their charges
• Next-billing date, and pricing now show on the dashboard
Imports & Other Tool Improvements
• Import from a URL or Google Sheet – standard CSV import tools can now pull data directly from a link, not just an uploaded file
• Catalog Price Updater now supports compare-at (sale) pricing
• New duplicate SKU finder to help you catch catalog data issues
• Various stability fixes across tool pages, exports, and pop-ups
Security & Platform Stability

Behind the scenes, we completed a major modernization of the platform that powers Your Store Tools. These updates strengthen security, improve performance, and lay the groundwork for features still to come.

The most noticeable benefit for you is faster dashboard and page load times – but most of this work is invisible by design, quietly keeping the app secure and reliable.

Important Update to Your Store Tools Free Plan for BigCommerce
Changes are coming to the BigCommerce free plan, while Shopify’s free plan will remain in place.

April 20, 2026

We wanted to let you know about an important change coming to Your Store Tools for BigCommerce.

Effective May 4, 2026, we will be discontinuing the free plan for the BigCommerce version of Your Store Tools.

The Shopify version will continue to offer a free plan, as it includes far fewer tools than the BigCommerce platform.

This was not a decision we made lightly. Since launching Your Store Tools, we’ve been incredibly grateful for the support and interest from the BigCommerce community. But with the number of active free users continuing to grow, the costs associated with support, maintenance, and ongoing development have reached a point where offering a free version is no longer sustainable.

$10/month or $99/year
$30/month or $299/year

By upgrading to a Plus account, you’ll continue to have access to the same tools you currently use as a free user, along with several added benefits, including:

• Unlimited tool usage instead of one use per day
• File uploads of up to 5,000 records instead of 1,000
• Monitoring for up to 3 URLs in the Core Web Vitals dashboard

We truly appreciate everyone who has supported Your Store Tools since launch. As we’re sure you can understand, the cost of supporting, maintaining, and continuing to develop new tools is not cheap.

We believe these tools provide exceptional value and real time savings for store owners. At just $10 per month, if the tools save you even a half hour of labor each month, they’ve more than paid for themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to my free account on May 4th?
If you have a free account and log in on May 4th or anytime after, you will still be able to access your dashboard. However, when you attempt to use a tool, you’ll be prompted to upgrade. At that time, you can choose either the Plus or Premium package and select either monthly or annual billing.
What if I upgrade and later want to cancel?
If you choose a monthly plan, you can cancel at any time by clicking Billing in the dashboard and canceling your subscription. Your subscription will remain active until the date your next monthly payment would have been due.
If you choose an annual plan, you can cancel the same way and continue using the service until your annual subscription expires.
Please note that we do not offer prorated refunds for cancellations.
What’s the difference between Plus and Premium?
You can compare the two plans here: View Plans
How do I cancel my free account?
To cancel a free account, simply delete the API access in your BigCommerce store that you created when you originally signed up for Your Store Tools. Once that API access is removed, we no longer have access to your store.
I have a few à la carte tools. Will I have to pay more to use those now?
No. You can continue to use all of your à la carte tools just as you do now, and pricing for those tools will not be changing.
However, if you want to use any additional tools that require a subscription, you will need to sign up for either the Plus or Premium plan.
For example, if you currently have our free plan and also subscribe to Inventory Updater à la carte for $5 per month, you can continue using that tool without purchasing an additional subscription.
But if you want to use another tool, such as Product Import, that requires a plan subscription, you would need to upgrade to Plus or Premium.
If you currently subscribe to multiple à la carte tools, you may find that a Premium subscription offers better overall value.
Why are you getting rid of the free plan?
Since introducing Your Store Tools for BigCommerce, the number of free users has grown substantially, far beyond what we originally anticipated. The cost of supporting and maintaining that free user base is no longer sustainable.
That said, we believe these tools continue to offer outstanding value for store owners who want to save time and work more efficiently.
