Dear customers,
We are pleased to present the latest technical and functional updates to our platform. June 2025 was all about optimization, transparency, and customer security. Our team has worked with great dedication and attention to detail to deliver new features, improve existing functionality, and enhance processes to make your shopping experience even easier, safer, and more efficient.
In this changelog, we would like to provide you with a detailed and transparent overview of all the updates we have implemented over the past few weeks. Your feedback and suggestions have played a key role in guiding these developments in the right direction. A big thank you to everyone who shared their experiences and ideas with us!
🏷 Enhanced validation of addresses and DHL customer number
One of the biggest challenges in shipping is ensuring that every order is reliably delivered. To further improve this, we have significantly expanded our validation system. The entire process is aligned with modern Know-Your-Customer (KYC) standards, serving both efficiency and security.
- Address validation via DHL: From now on, every delivery address you enter will be checked in real time against DHL’s official databases. This ensures typos, incomplete data, or invalid combinations are identified immediately. You will receive instant feedback during checkout, allowing you to correct any issues before they cause problems.
- Mandatory DHL customer number for Packstation and branch deliveries: When selecting a DHL Packstation or branch as your delivery address, you are now required to provide a valid DHL customer number. This number is automatically validated as well. The aim is to prevent returns and delivery issues right from the start and ensure your shipment is secure.
- Added security: With these enhancements, we are taking a strong stance on reliability, minimizing the risk of delivery errors, easing the burden on our logistics processes, and protecting you from unnecessary delays or extra costs.
💰 Introduction of the wallet system
We are excited to introduce our new wallet system, designed to give you maximum flexibility and new savings opportunities. The wallet will play a central role in our shop system going forward and offers you numerous benefits:
- Top up your wallet: You can add any amount to your wallet at any time. This balance is available to you at any time for future purchases—quickly, easily, and without waiting for payment confirmations.
- Flexible payment with wallet credit: The wallet allows you to choose how much of your balance you want to use for a particular order. The selected amount is deducted directly from the total. The remaining balance can be paid using your preferred payment method (e.g. SEPA, instant transfer, cryptocurrency).
- Double savings: When purchasing wallet credit, you can use a 5% discount code and save right away. After topping up, you will also receive an additional 5% voucher for your next order, giving you double the benefit.
- Foundation for subscription services: The wallet provides the technical basis for our planned subscription service. This service will enable you to reserve a guaranteed quota of your preferred products over a defined period—especially valuable for regular customers, particularly for high-demand items.
- Affiliate integration (in development): Our affiliate program is currently under development. However, all referred customers and their purchases are already being tracked and recorded. Your commissions will be automatically credited to your wallet in the future. Once you have accumulated at least 50 €, you can request a SEPA payout. Rest assured: no referral is lost—everything is reliably logged and will be accounted for later.
- Full transparency and control: All transactions—from wallet top-ups to usage, vouchers, and affiliate earnings—are clearly displayed in your customer dashboard. You always have full visibility of your activity and balance.
🧪 Extension of product pages
We have significantly expanded the product pages to provide you with more information and transparency. Each product page now includes the following details (where available):
- Chemical formula: For clear identification of the substance.
- CAS number: The internationally recognized identifier of the compound.
- Data sheet as PDF: Contains safety information, handling instructions, and specifications.
- Internal test results for the current batch: You can view the internal analysis values for the current batch. We are also working intensively to provide independent lab analyses in the near future.
🛠 Further optimizations and bug fixes
We have implemented several important bug fixes and smaller improvements to make the platform even more stable and user-friendly:
- Overpayments via SEPA: Overpayments (for example, intentional tips) no longer cause automated processing of the order to be blocked. Your orders will now be processed as normal even if you overpay.
- In progress: In a future update, the system will automatically generate a voucher for any overpaid amount, which you can easily use for your next order.
- Bitcoin payment adapter: We fixed a bug where the Bitcoin payment adapter occasionally displayed incorrect conversion amounts. The issue has now been fully resolved.
Important note: Even with this fix, the BTC amount we display may still differ from the value on your chosen exchange. This can happen due to:- We pull our BTC/EUR exchange rate from a central exchange and update it every 24 hours (cached for performance optimization).
- Market fluctuations or spreads between exchanges may result in differences between our rate and that of your chosen exchange.
🕵️♂️ Quality assurance and bug bounty program
All new features and changes have been thoroughly tested—with unit tests for individual components, end-to-end tests for full process validation, and manual testing by our team. Despite all this care, errors can occur. That’s why we value your feedback.
As part of our bug bounty program: Anyone who reports a bug to us (via support@remicals.de, the contact form, or directly via support) will receive a 25 € voucher as a thank you. Your engagement helps us continuously improve the platform.
