Chargebee Release Notes

We are pleased to announce the enhancements done to our transfer configuration feature:

We have introduced an asynchronous job for the Validation step. By implementing this change, the framework now has the capability to perform the validation step for an extended duration, allowing for more comprehensive validation processes. Additionally, the validation state is now stored, enabling users to conveniently check the status at their convenience in an asynchronous manner. This improvement greatly enhances the user experience and overall efficiency of the framework.

We have addressed an issue in the existing Framework where server quits would lead to stale data and necessitate the use of DML for customers to initiate new transfers in the application. This update implements a solution to handle server quits effectively within the framework, ensuring data integrity and streamlining the transfer process for improved customer experience.

We have addressed the issue of data and settings deletion prior to validation. During transferring configuration, you can choose to Retain or Delete the existing data if the destination is a TEST site. However, if the destination is a LIVE site, you cannot Delete the existing data.

The all-new Manual Adjustment Tool in RevRec allows you to make adjustments directly to revenue and expense results and ensures that RevRec maintains accurate and up-to-date information by providing greater control and enhanced financial reporting process. The feature comes with:

Efficient Adjustment Process where you can upload adjustments using a template, make adjustments at a detailed (e.g., sale order level) or aggregated level. RevRec automatically generates journal entries based on GL mapping rules and configurations.

Flexibility and Control to post multiple adjustments as needed and manage them easily through the RevRec web UI. You can review, update, or delete adjustments before closing an accounting period.

Compliance and Auditability where you can add explanations and context to each adjustment and save supporting documentation for reviews. You can track manual adjustments using RevRec's reports with the 'Manual Adjustments' filter.

RevRec's App Store integration (EAP) automates the revenue recognition for your App Store subscriptions. RevRec will sync detailed subscription transaction data from your App Store's [link_static https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/reference/subscriber-report/\]Subscriber\[\] report on a daily basis, and apply the revenue recognition rules based on subscription's duration. Additionally, you can configure RevRec to automatically process Apple's platform fee charge as an expense and apply expense recognition rules.

As part of the Razorpay enhancements made, you will now be able to offer the below to your customers:

• Gifting flow for customers while using Razorpay as the payment gateway.
• Accept payments through Razorpay for one-time purchases.
• Accept pending payments through Razorpay and be able to use the payment method for future charges if applicable.

We have made the following enhancements to the above workflows in the Checkout process on our platform.

Prevent existing payment methods for CIT Transactions- With this update, end customers cannot use existing payment tokens' reference IDs for CIT transactions. This means that existing payment methods connected through Razorpay will not be listed as part of the above workflows.

New payment methods will not be saved as the workflows come with a one-time charge, there is no need to save the payment method for future transactions.

No Mandate flow for gifting and one-time purchases- The new payment method provided during the checkout process will not trigger a mandate flow. Since there are no recurring charges involved in the workflows, there is no need to set up a mandate for the payment method.

Collect now pages- You will be able to use the payment method for future charges if applicable. …

We are excited to introduce a new feature that allows you to export data in the import format, matching the headers/field names and fields of the import format, and reducing the need for format conversion. In addition, the CSV export format now matches the import format, including the fields and pre-filled information, making it easier for merchants and migration engineers to migrate existing subscriptions to Chargebee and perform bulk operations without spending additional hours on format conversion. These improvements align the data export and import formats for subscriptions and product catalog, without causing any disruptive changes to customers already using the existing export format.
