Release Notes
Updates, changes, and improvements at Chargebee
October 2021
October 2021
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.
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.
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.
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.
UI Improvements for Migration from Product Catalog 1.0 to 2.0
We identified and addressed certain UI improvements that will enhance customer experience and ease of use.
Change the sorting styles in index pages.
Replace ellipses icon with the More Options button.
Ability to create entities after filtering the entities.
Label the icon with Import Customers.
Icon to configure fields is intuitive.
Xero Sync Errors
Accounting Transactions must be accurate at all times! We fixed an issue where a single transaction was synced to Xero twice leading to overpayment. Also, we fixed an error with the sync completed for entries prior to the start date of the sync. With this release, you will have access to an improved sync process.
Adyen Gateway Updates
This release focuses on the notification and identification process for Adyen across multiple sites. Also, we will support more effective migration of Smart Routing settings during migration from one site to another. Finally, our invoicing system does not reuse an invoice number associated with a failed transaction, this means all missed invoices are a result of failed transactions.
Backdating subscriptions on NetSuite
This release will allow customers to sync their billing information from Chargebee to NetSuite for the respective month provided the accounting period is open for the backdated billing information. Additionally, backdate the offline payment sync start date accurately in Intact.
Invoice Enhancements
We are making the Invoice features even better! This release includes the following new features:
A much-awaited feature that captures the TDS deductions is implemented in this release which will help you to understand the tax deductions for products and services. With a focus on the Indian market, we now support TDS or withholding of taxes. The tax_withheld resource captures the details of such tax deductions at the source. Implementing this feature enables you to capture the amount withheld separately on the invoice after invoice generation.
We now support Metered Billing parameters in Quotes. With Chargebee's metered billing solution, you can flawlessly charge your customers based on their usage of your products and services.
GoCardless and Stripe Notifications
Currently, the email where all the notifications are triggered is not exposed anywhere in the UI and there is no option to edit the email address or other non-sensitive information. With this release, we expose the email addresses added against the Payment Methods and also provide an option to edit the email address and other non-sensitive payment-related information.
Optional Addons error
We found that the Optional/Recommended addons are getting removed when you are upgrading to a plan with restricted addons. With this release, on changing the plan, in addition to the existing addon configuration, the quantity and price overrides are included without removing any addons.
