Chargebee Release Notes

Chargebee has improved its EU VAT validation process to address common challenges post-Brexit. When you enter your EU VAT number in Settings > Taxation > EU and enable both VAT number validation and Generate VIES VAT Consultation Number, Chargebee now ensures more accurate detection and validation. Moreover, if the VIES service is down, Chargebee will fall back to a basic check, keeping your VAT compliance on track.

With this fix, Chargebee has enhanced the integration with Taxamo, ensuring a smoother experience for tax calculations. Now, when you create a subscription with multiple line items, each invoice and its corresponding credit notes will be seamlessly synced with Taxamo using unique item IDs

With this release, we have fixed a bug that caused transactions to appear as in_progress in Chargebee even when they were paid or declined in PayPal. While most payments and refunds via the PayPal Commerce gateway are settled instantly, some transactions are settled asynchronously. In Chargebee, these in_progress transactions are now updated after periodical polling for the latest status of the transactions at the gateway.

When using the Transfer a customer to another business entity API, an error message will now be displayed if no parameters are passed. This improvement ensures that you receive clear feedback on incomplete API requests, preventing potential confusion and enhancing your ability to identify and resolve issues quickly.

We've enhanced the Quotes module to accurately reflect coupon validity. Now, quotes will handle coupons just like subscriptions do, ensuring that discounts are accurately represented at the time of the quote.

We've fixed the ability to edit the backdated trial end date for subscriptions, giving you greater flexibility and control over your customer trials. This ensures that you can manage trial periods more effectively, helping you optimize customer engagement and satisfaction.

We've fixed an issue that caused the Total Contract Value(TCV) to be incorrectly calculated for future subscriptions. With this update, future subscriptions will now display the accurate TCV, ensuring your financial forecasts and reports are precise.

We've resolved an issue where the API Update subscription for items endpoint was returning a 500 error when updating subscriptions. With this fix, you can now update subscriptions smoothly and reliably through the API, ensuring uninterrupted and efficient subscription management.

We've fixed an issue where the auto-close invoices parameter was resetting to the site default when the quantity in a subscription was changed. Now, your auto-close invoice settings will remain consistent even when making quantity adjustments, ensuring your billing preferences are preserved.

We've resolved an issue with scheduled cancellations in day-based billing mode. With this fix, scheduled cancellations will now execute accurately and on time, ensuring your subscription management is smooth and reliable.

We've fixed an issue that caused a customer to be billed twice for approximately 14 days. With this resolution, you can now trust that your customers will be accurately billed, eliminating any concerns over duplicate charges.

We've fixed an issue where the next billing date was not aligned with Calendar Billing. Now, your billing dates will accurately follow the calendar schedule, ensuring consistent and predictable billing cycles.

We've addressed an issue reported by a customer in which an invoice was hard deleted instead of undergoing a soft delete process. With this fix, you'll now have improved visibility into deleted invoices, ensuring that your billing records remain accurate and reliable.

We've resolved an issue where the transfer configuration was throwing errors for Ramp Reason codes. Now, you can smoothly configure transfers involving Ramp Reason codes without encountering any errors.

We've resolved an issue where the source of deleted subscriptions was incorrectly shown as 'API' in the event logs, even when deletions were made directly from the Chargebee Billing user interface. Now, the event logs will accurately reflect the true source of the deletion, enhancing your ability to track and audit subscription changes.

We have fixed an issue that caused a '500 Internal Server Error' during subscription renewals when a customer was moved to a different business entity using Transfer a customer to another business entity API. Now, your subscription renewals, resumes, and starts will operate seamlessly, improving overall reliability and customer satisfaction.

We've enhanced the validation process for multi-business entity transfers to ensure smoother operations and prevent potential conflicts. Previously, if a user initiated a transfer and left it in a validation state, another user could start a new transfer with the same source or destination, leading to parallel transfers and unexpected behaviors. Now, our system ensures that ongoing transfers are properly validated, preventing simultaneous transfers with the same entities.

We've fixed an issue where the Total Contract Value was incorrectly displaying as $0. With this update, you will now see accurate contract values, giving you clear insights into your financial commitments and revenue potential.

We've fixed an issue that was preventing updates to custom field values for subscriptions. You can now seamlessly modify custom fields, allowing for more accurate and personalized subscription management.

We've fixed an issue where one-time coupon was being applied multiple times to a subscription and was not being exhausted as intended. With this update, one-time coupons will now be correctly applied and used up, ensuring accurate discount management.
