Hi there! Not all updates are equally exciting, but this one is truly something we’re excited about, despite its smaller size.
We recently released Jetpack CRM v6.0, where we gave the UI a visual overhaul. By doing so, we hoped to improve the overall feel of the system, and it seems like you all agree!
We have added the ability to display pages in full width, reintroduced filter options, ensured WordPress 6.3 support, and fixed a handful of miscellaneous bugs.

We’re happy to announce that we’ve now released v3.0 of Jetpack CRM for WordPress.
We’ve got some incredibly exciting news to share in this update. Zero BS CRM has joined Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com. With Automattic in our corner, we will go from a team of two, to being part of a team of 900+ incredible individuals.
This means Zero BS CRM will be getting better through deeper integrations with WordPress and help and support across the board, from product development to usability and design.
We have built Zero BS CRM to scratch our own itch. For years, we’ve chosen WordPress as the centre of our entrepreneurial business operations. We also use it personally for travel blogs and other projects. We ❤️ WordPress.
When a family member approached us for advice on a CRM solution that would suit his local construction business, we couldn’t find any that would meet his needs and integrate well with his WordPress website. We kept hitting the same issues: too complex. Too expensive. Or just plain bad.
So we built ZBS CRM. We designed it to be simple to use, but powerful. We still use it ourselves every day. Since our initial launch we’ve delivered consistent updates (over 150 in less than three years), and our CRM product has improved week in, week out.
We’ve built extensions to work with WooCommerce and help users connect their eCommerce store to a CRM, all in one place. We’ve developed additional modules to help our users market products and services to their customers based on advanced segments and email targeting.
We’ve always admired Automattic as a business, and have modelled our own business practices on remote work, efficacy, and a focus on tools that make an impact. We care about creating a better web.
One day, we received a support ticket asking about Mail Campaigns and how best to set up sequences for customers.
What we didn’t realise was this user was linked to Automattic, and was becoming a strong advocate for our product within the company. What followed was a series of conversations with leaders from different parts of Automattic. The more people we talked to, the more we realised our visions were in alignment. When the opportunity arose to continue to work on our product as part of Automattic, we decided to go for it.
Firstly, if you are a paying customer of Zero BS CRM, nothing will change. We’ll still be providing the same service. We still plan to release v3.0 as we’d initially planned (we expect it to come out in late September).
We also won’t be increasing the prices of our bundles once we release v3.0, which we had initially intended to do. With Automattic’s backing, we’ll be able to provide faster support (you may have already noticed some new faces replying to your tickets), and release new features more quickly than before.
We’ve known for a while that our name is like marmite. You either love it, or you hate it.
We’re also aware of the difficulties in having profanity in a product name. So we’ll be using this opportunity to cut the cr*p and profanity from the name and will be looking to rename Zero BS CRM in the future (while preserving everything else, from product features to the quality of customer service).
For those of you who love our product, but have found the name tricky to swallow, you can expect a positive change soon.
If you’ve been with us for a while, you’ll be aware that we’ve been working flat out to deliver as a team of two founders. With the backing and support of Automattic, we’ll be able to bring improvements to the CRM faster than ever.
The main goal of Zero BS CRM has been to streamline complex processes and build products that are easy to use. We want our customers to focus on what matters most to them. We stand by the spirit of our manifesto (which maps very well to Automattic’s creed), and will continue to build and refine high-quality software for entrepreneurs and small businesses.
March has been another busy month for Jetpack CRM, we continue to keep improving the CRM and March has been no different.
Our PDF invoice included in the free plugin was basic at best, so we’ve included one of our Pro templates for free. This improves how your invoices will look when downloaded as a PDF and sent to your clients.
We’ve noticed that WordPress have changed up the way that translations can be provided for the plugin, so we’ve now added full support for this method. If you would like to help translate Jetpack CRM we’d be more than happy to have you help us.
We’ve also added the ability to download a quote as a PDF document, this is useful if you want to keep your quotes in a different format (for those who still like to email a PDF version as well as the Client Portal version).
We’ve also added in the ability to define extra areas to upload files to the contact’s record. This is the first step to us improving the customer view page when it comes to the “Files” support. We’ve also finished initial development on improving how the Client Portal Files looks. Here’s a sneak peek (which might change before finalising the roll out)
By the time you read this, Jetpack CRM will have migrated your contacts over to the new structure, expected to happen around mid April. A lot of our time in March has been spent making sure this migration routine doesn’t break your install and making sure our extensions remain compatible with the migrated database, but more on that in April’s product update.
