Chargebee Release Notes

When migrating from version 1.37 or lower to the latest version 1.62, custom field mapping is now handled more effectively, ensuring a smoother transition and minimizing potential data discrepancies. This simplifies the migration process, saving you time and reducing the likelihood of errors, so you can focus on what matters most—optimizing your Salesforce integration.

We're enhancing your billing precision with an update to the discount calculation logic in Salesforce. Now, you can apply discounts with up to three decimal places, just like in Chargebee's core platform. This change ensures that your discount calculations are more accurate and consistent across all your systems, helping you maintain precise billing and avoid discrepancies.

You can now display multiple billing frequencies on a single pricing page without a toggle, making it easy for customers to compare options at a glance. This setup encourages longer billing cycles, helping you boost retention and maximize revenue.

We've streamlined the process of syncing credit notes with third-party tax tools like Avalara and SPI. Now, you can skip the invoice code when using the credit note sync API, offering greater flexibility in managing your tax workflows. Additionally, tax calculations for credit notes are now supported with third-party tax integrations in Chargebee. This enhancement ensures that your credit notes reflect accurate tax amounts, improving both financial accuracy and compliance.

Now, you can easily provide plan update estimates to customers even if their subscription is in a non-renewing state. No need to alter the billing cycle or reactivate the subscription—simply offer the estimate and increase your chances of retaining customers right before their subscription ends.

With this release, we have enabled support for the Manual Discount feature for the Full Page Checkout. Manual discounts are promotions or offers that can be added to a subscription without pre-defining them. You can add manual discounts on the fly and have them applied to each line item of the subscription or the entire invoice amount at the time of negotiation.

With this release, you will be able to add payment-failure-related columns such as Last payment failure error, Last payment method, and more in the Invoice List placeholder in the email reminder configuration. This will enable merchants to give broader perspective of open invoice to their end customers.

We've enhanced the Subscription Entitlements resource in our SDKs by including the feature_type attribute. Now, when you retrieve customer entitlements, you'll receive more detailed data, helping you better manage and track subscription features.

Chargebee now supports calendar billing for multi-frequency addons, giving you the flexibility to align addon charges with your subscription billing cycles. This improvement simplifies billing management and ensures a consistent invoicing experience for your customers.

You can now customize your invoices with HTML headers and footers and easily add page numbers using merge tags. This new feature gives you more flexibility to personalize your invoices, helping you maintain consistent branding and provide clear, professional documentation to your customers.

We've made an update to the simple tax rates for India (GST) at the entity level. This change ensures that your billing processes stay compliant with the latest tax regulations, reducing the risk of errors and helping you maintain accurate financial records.

You can now seamlessly switch your tax model to a non-configured model for Canada. This update offers you greater flexibility in managing your tax settings, ensuring your billing process aligns perfectly with your specific needs.

You can now easily move draft ramps to a scheduled state using the update ramps API. Whether you're making adjustments to the ramp's details or simply rescheduling it, this enhancement gives you greater flexibility and control over your subscription management.

We're excited to announce that Chargebee now supports standalone credits for Xero and QuickBooks, making it easier to manage and sync your credit transactions. This enhancement enables you to apply credits independently, leading to smoother financial operations and more precise accounting across your systems. This improvement is applied at the invoice level, and our accounting integration fully supports this capability.

We've enhanced the subscription details page to immediately refresh the next billing amount when creating or deleting ramps. Now, the upcoming invoice amount updates in real-time, giving you instant, accurate visibility into your customers' billing information and helping you manage subscriptions more effectively.

We've corrected the date format for bulgarian-language invoices and credit notes to consistently display as dd-mm-yyyy. This update ensures all dates, including those for prorated credits, are accurately formatted, providing clarity and professionalism in your billing documents.

We've resolved an issue that was causing errors when adding invoice notes for certain customers. Now, you can easily add notes to any customer invoice without encountering any errors, allowing you to provide important details and maintain clear communication.

We've fixed an issue with the Account Hierarchy feature where the invoice owner was incorrectly considered for payment instead of the payment owner. With this update, payments will now correctly reflect the payment owner when closing consolidated pending invoices, ensuring accurate billing and streamlined account management.

We've resolved an API bug where the request ignored the field, causing incorrect timestamps on invoices. Now, your imported credit notes will correctly reflect the specified allocation date, ensuring accurate payment records and smoother financial reporting.
