Chargebee Release Notes

With this feature release of Chargebee's iOS and Android SDKs, you can now leverage the function to invoke the subscription modification flow directly from your app.

While voiding an invoice, the amount was represented incorrectly on the confirmation pop-up.

Chargebee now allows you to void an invoice with credit note created automatically. As per law in Nordic Countries(and some EU regions like Germany and France), you must void an invoice and regenerate a new one when you generate an incorrect invoice. While voiding the invoice, the original invoice must be adjusted by a separate document equivalent to a negative invoice (Cancellation invoice) and acts as an indicator that the original invoice stands canceled.

We are pleased to announce that our Android SDK now includes a new method that handles the one-time purchase against App Store Connect and creates a Charge corresponding to this one-time purchase in Chargebee. Learn more.

Apple changed the functionality of REFUND notification and now this notification type supports auto-renewable subscriptions along with one-time purchases. Chargebee also added support for the same. Learn more about V2 notifications type.

With this release, now Chargebee can pause subscriptions for both paid and non-paid Google Play Store subscribers by listening to play store notifications. Previously this was available only for non-paid subscribers.

With this release, we have added support for Stripe's new bank account instant verification method called Financial Connections. This method is proprietary to Stripe and it is targetted towards simplifying the verification process. This feature is in beta, contact Chargebee Support to enable it.

The following issues were fixed with this release:

While entering the VAT number on a Chargebee Billing TEST site, an error "the VAT number is invalid" was displayed. However, the same VAT number when entered on the LIVE site did not throw any error. This is now fixed!

The integrations page kept loading when one or more tax providers were configured. Fixed!

An error MATCHING_RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND was thrown during VAT Validation by His Majesty's Revenue & Customs(HMRC). Fixed!

Introducing cache and retry mechanism for React Native SDK purchase flow to enhance subscription processing. With this update, the SDK now allows you to validate the receipt during network failures. Learn more.

In response to Shopify's deprecation of older API versions, we have implemented an upgrade to the new Shopify API version. This release focuses on updating the URLs of the APIs being called to ensure compatibility with the latest version. Thorough testing has been performed to ensure a smooth transition and maintain seamless functionality.

When a subscription with contract terms was reactivated, an incorrect doubled up amount was displayed as the total contract value due to a code issue. This is now fixed!

Our users are facing difficulty in identifying plan items while creating Manual Discounts. Currently, we display plan item IDs instead of plan names, causing confusion. With this release, we have updated the system to provide a better user experience. Now, when selecting a specific line item, users have the option to choose either the plan ID or the plan name. This allows flexibility, as some users may find the plan ID more meaningful, while others may prefer the plan name for clarity.

With this release, we have added a loader animation this will appear when settings are getting updated.

The following issue was fixed with this release:

We've added a tooltip text for all third party integrations that are disabled under Pick a mode of configuration for Taxes.

With this release, two new columns called Last Updated Card(Timestamp) and Last Updated Card (Type) under Payment Based Columns are added on the Invoice View page.

With this release, two new fields are added - Last Updated Card(Timestamp) and Last Updated Card (Type) to Auto Engagement. You can now choose these fields while configuring the Auto Engagement rules to easily visualise and engage with respective customers. The fields can help us identify customers who update their cards either after retries are exhausted or while retries are still in progress for further engagement.

The email creation workflow has an all-new look. With improved user experience and new functionalities, it will allow you to have better control over the templates and the ability to do it all themselves. This includes the following top functionality:

Test email feature

New placeholder experience

HTML template functionality

Image import plugin

With this release, we introduce a new feature in Receivables called Tagging in the Customer and Invoice View. These are customer attributes and are available in filters as well as column choosers. Tags can be leveraged on Auto engagement as well to create and send targeted emails to all customers having selected tags. Its visibility is based on permissions which can be set from the Settings section. Up to five tags can be set on a customer or/and invoice.

With this release, a new tab called Email Engagement has been added adjacent to the Payments tab on the Auto Engagement rules page. This tab provides visibility of the category of rules that are available to engage with the customers.
