This week in Astria: crypto payments, WooCommerce, and finer mockups

Pay with stablecoins at Stripe Checkout, plus WooCommerce, better mockups, relighting, private Agent chats, Compare, and Photoshop v2.
ASTRIA WEEKLY UPDATE · 19 SEP 2026

CHANGES SINCE 12 SEPTEMBER

From product reference to finished image.

This week starts at checkout: pay for eligible one-time purchases with stablecoins, then use more control across WooCommerce, Mockup Lab, Darkroom, and Compare.

THE SHORT VERSION

Seven updates to your workflow.

01

Crypto payments with stablecoins

Choose Crypto when offered at checkout for one-time credit or Photoshop plugin purchases. Payment confirmation updates automatically; automatic balance top-off still requires a saved card.

Stripe Checkout showing Card, Crypto, Bank, and Klarna payment options

Stripe Checkout now offers Crypto for eligible one-time purchases.

02

WooCommerce import and export

Connect a store to your workspace, import products as references, and send selected results back to product galleries or variations after reviewing the destination. Color variants import separately; matching sizes can share one image.

Import products as references, then export reviewed images back to the WooCommerce gallery.

03

More control in Mockup Lab

Paint or erase the selected area with a brush, work on multiple areas, and use Draped handling for surfaces with creases. Workspace members can also open and edit shared mockups.

Open Mockup from the lightbox, choose a texture, then drag and resize it directly on the shirt.

04

Clarity and relighting in Darkroom

Soften or strengthen local contrast with Clarity. Use relighting presets or position soft light and shadow masks directly on the photo, then adjust their strength and feathering.

05

Private Agent chats in a workspace

Start a private conversation when you want a separate thread. The shared workspace conversation remains the default for working together.

Start a private Agent conversation from the empty chat screen.

06

Compare with your input image

Comparison now includes the generation’s input image when one is available, making it easier to review an edit against its source.

Opening Compare from the lightbox, then comparing the input image and portrait references side by side

Open Compare from the lightbox, use Side by side, and compare against the input image or references.

07

In case you missed it: Photoshop v2

The separate plugin update brought a rebuilt panel, improved placement and color handling, and Layer Separation for turning an image into editable Photoshop layers.

Photoshop v2 replaces an earring and adds the result as a masked Smart Object layer

At 11s, the earring is selected; at 13s, the result appears as a masked Smart Object layer.
