Oct '21Bug FixesNotifications

Notifications Email Error fix

We found errors in the Reply All functionality of notification emails to display the accurate email address of the originator. This is fixed now.

Oct '21EnhancementsNotifications

Update to Notification Emails

Nobody likes unnecessary emails, so only domains associated with the Chargebee test site are added to the whitelist. This means notifications can be triggered to whitelist domains only and users must reach out to our support team for the addition of new domains.

Oct '21Bug FixesSubscriptions

Quote and Subscriptions fix

We noticed errors in pop-up messages for quotes when changes are made to a subscription. With this release, all quotes will display accurate details when changes are made to the subscription.

Oct '21EnhancementsCheckout

Checkout URL Redirect

The URL redirect upon successful checkout interface needed additional information based on the integration option selected by the merchant. With this release, we have included additional information about the addition of relevant domains to the allow-list for successful redirection to the URL specified.

Oct '21New FeatureCheckout

Mollie Support for Card, iDEAL, and SEPA payments

iDEAL payment method is among the most preferred localized payment options in the EU region. Your Mollie payment gateway configured on Chargebee can now accept iDEAL and SEPA direct debit payments. However, only the first payment is processed via iDEAL, the subsequent recurring payments are processed via Direct Debit.

Oct '21Bug FixesSubscription E-Commerce

Oct '21EnhancementsInvoices

Updates to Invoice Generation

We noticed latency in the response to the generation of an invoice quote which can be attributed to the absence of a customer ID requiring a query for the entire transaction table to identify applicable payments and credits. As part of this release, the customer ID field if left blank will be skipped to avoid latency in the generation of the pop-up for Checkout.

Oct '21Bug FixesPayments

Adyen Payment Failure fix

We identified that there were sync failures on Adyen due to an error associated with refunds initiated on Chargebee. When a refund is initiated from Chargebee, the complete authorized amount is refunded to the customer from Adyen. If the amount stored in Chargebee is less than the refund amount sent by Adyen, it will result in sync failures for all future transactions.
