5 GoHighLevel Updates You Need To See This Week (QR Codes, Certificate Builder & More)

September 25, 20254 min read

Introduction

GoHighLevel continues to roll out powerful new features designed to improve automation, marketing, and client engagement. For week 37 of 2025, the platform released five important updates. Some of these will directly impact your costs, while others open up fresh opportunities to create interactive experiences, reward learners, and streamline client workflows.

If you are an agency owner, course creator, or business using GoHighLevel, these updates are worth knowing. Below, we’ll walk you through each feature in detail, why it matters, and how you can use it in your own business. Currently, we also offer a 14-day free trial here.


1. Pricing Changes for Voice and SMS

GoHighLevel announced updated pricing for both outbound voice calls and SMS messages. These increases apply across multiple countries and are automatically applied to your account.

While no one likes higher costs, it’s important to be prepared so your next bill isn’t a surprise. For agencies managing large volumes of calls or text campaigns, even a small per-message increase can add up to $50 or more on your monthly invoice.

This change reinforces the need to track ROI on SMS and voice campaigns carefully. HighLevel still provides strong value compared to many standalone communication tools, but budgeting for these increases will keep your numbers in check.


2. New QR Code Element in the Page Builder

The most exciting update this week is the introduction of a QR code element inside the GoHighLevel page builder.

Now you can easily add QR codes directly into your funnels and websites without using a third-party generator. The applications are nearly endless:

  • Direct people to your business website

  • Allow customers to initiate a call or SMS

  • Redirect to a Google review link

  • Send visitors to a quiz or survey

  • Use for event check-ins, menus, or product pages

Why It Matters

QR codes are now a core part of consumer behavior. Restaurants, retail shops, and service businesses can benefit by placing codes in menus, flyers, or storefronts. With GoHighLevel, these codes are customizable in design, color, and branding. You can even add logos inside the QR for a professional look.

How It Works

Inside your sub account:

  • Go to Sites > QR Codes

  • Create a new QR code and assign the action (URL, call, SMS, etc.)

  • Customize design (color, shape, logo, background)

  • Add the code directly into funnels or websites

The new QR code builder eliminates extra steps and integrates smoothly with your HighLevel assets.


3. Revamped Stripe Connect Page

Stripe is one of the most popular integrations for agencies running payments and subscriptions. The revamped Stripe Connect page brings a cleaner layout and improved security.

Key Updates:

  • Only agency owners and admins can access Stripe settings

  • Error messages are clearer if your Stripe connection fails or is revoked

  • Disconnecting Stripe is easier with a simplified process

This matters because Stripe handles sensitive financial data. Restricting access helps reduce risk while also giving you clearer visibility into connection issues.


4. New Certificate Builder

GoHighLevel added a Certificate Builder for memberships, courses, and communities. This tool allows you to create professional certificates that learners receive after completing a course, event, or training.

Why It Matters

Certificates boost credibility and reward learners. Whether you’re running an online academy or a coaching program, providing a certificate helps members feel accomplished and increases the perceived value of your offering.

Features:

  • 8 starter templates available

  • Full customization of text, colors, and branding

  • Add logos, instructor names, and signatures

  • Automated sending once a course is completed

You can create and design certificates directly inside HighLevel’s membership tools, then deliver them via email using automation triggers.


5. New Templates and Finance Lender Snapshot

GoHighLevel continues expanding its library of templates and snapshots. This week’s update includes:

  • Funnel templates for legal marketing and home services

  • Email forms and survey templates

  • Social media ad previews

  • A powerful new Finance Lender Snapshot

Why It Matters

The finance snapshot is particularly strong. It includes:

  • Pre-built funnels for lender offers

  • Pipelines for loan applications (new lead, contact, analysis, processing, etc.)

  • Automations with lead nurturing emails and SMS workflows

  • Appointment booking workflows

  • Calendar setups for loan types (mortgage, auto, business)

For lenders and agencies working with lenders, this snapshot is practically plug-and-play. Simply customize the business details and you have a fully functional client system.


Conclusion

These five updates highlight GoHighLevel’s commitment to continually evolving as a true all-in-one platform. From small but impactful updates like the Stripe page redesign to game-changing tools like QR code generation and certificate creation, each release helps agencies and businesses deliver more value.
