Chargebee Release Notes

Consolidated pending invoices that apply taxes based on the shipping address will no longer include shipping address details at the invoice level. This update simplifies the invoice format while maintaining accurate tax calculations, making it easier to manage and review your invoices.

We've fixed an issue where coupons in a different currency were applied to invoices without converting the amount. With this update, your invoices will now accurately reflect the correct coupon value based on the invoice currency, ensuring precise billing and avoiding potential discrepancies.

We've improved how Chargebee handles filter parameters in API requests, specifically for . Previously, when passing values like , the entire string was incorrectly processed as a single value. Now, with base64 encoding, values are accurately split by commas. This ensures that each value, such as plan-1 and some1, is treated as separate entities, making your API interactions more precise and reducing the chances of errors.

When importing a credit note for an imported invoice if the tax override reason was marked as Export, it was not being carried over to the credit note, even though it was present on the original invoice. We've fixed this issue. Now, if the Export tax override is applied to an imported invoice, the credit note will reflect this reason as well.

We've resolved an issue that occurred when address validation was performed with a customer having invalid shipping address. Previously, Chargebee triggered an HTTP 500 response and the address validation job failed because Chargebee did not handle the TaxJar's error response. Now, we've improved the handling the responses from TaxJar, ensuring smoother and uninterrupted address validation.

We've resolved an issue where credit note amounts differed between Chargebee and third-party tax providers when promotional credits were applied to invoices.

We've fixed an issue where API calls were sending billing cycles even when a contract term was set to cancel. This update ensures your billing processes are streamlined and accurate, eliminating unnecessary data transmission.

We've optimized the VAT validation process to enhance accuracy and reduce the number of undetermined VAT statuses. Previously, if the query for non-validated VAT numbers timed out, it caused the entire job to fail, resulting in many VAT numbers being marked as undetermined. With this update, even if a query times out, the process will continue, allowing more customer records to be validated successfully. Additionally, we've increased the batch size to handle larger volumes of records, ensuring smoother processing. This means you'll see fewer undetermined VAT numbers and faster validation, leading to more accurate billing and compliance.

We have resolved an issue where the option to regenerate the first invoice was missing after transferring a customer between business entities. With this fix, you can now seamlessly regenerate invoices post-transfer, ensuring accurate billing without disruptions.

We've fixed an issue where subscriptions weren't correctly transferring between customers during bulk operations. Now, when you move subscriptions in bulk, they'll seamlessly update to the new customer, saving you time and ensuring accurate account management.

We've resolved a runtime exception issue in the Java SDK where the updatedAt field for unbilled charges was incorrectly marked as required. Now, the SDK has been updated to mark this field as optional, ensuring smoother API interactions without errors.

We've fixed the issue with navigating the RevenueStory search feature, so you can now easily find and manage your revenue data. Enjoy a smoother and more intuitive experience as you track and analyze your financial information.

We've fixed an issue where e-invoicing export requests were failing with a 'No action taken' error. Now, your e-invoicing exports will process smoothly, ensuring compliance and hassle-free financial reporting.

Introducing the Scheduled Entitlement Overrides. Scheduling entitlement overrides in Chargebee gives you precise control over the start and end dates of your entitlement overrides. This allows businesses to automate and pre-schedule changes to subscription entitlements in advance without manual intervention, ensuring that your clients have timely access to tailored entitlements, while minimizing operational overload and avoiding time-consuming manual processes.

While updating a subscription record via Chargebee Billing User Interface(UI) or API, you can now have the mandatory add-ons associated with the old plan removed automatically by enabling the new setting Auto-removal of mandatory add-on on subscription update.

You can now collect GST business status information from customers in Australia during the full-page checkout process. This ensures accurate tax calculations by integrating this information directly into the billing address, improving the onboarding experience and billing accuracy for your customers.

You can now allow customers to schedule subscription changes in the checkout flow, ensuring no immediate impact on their current plan. As a merchant, you can set changes to occur at the end of the term or on a specific future date. Any immediate charges will be clearly shown in the order summary, enhancing transparency and customer experience.

Previously, the Chargebee and Razorpay integration only supported domestic accounts with INR currency. Now, it also supports export accounts, allowing businesses looking to expand and collect payments from customers outside of India to make payments in non-INR currencies. This enhancement facilitates export payments and provides greater flexibility for India-based businesses. Learn more about Razorpay account types.
