Chargebee Release Notes

You can now skip the next billing cycle in a subscription. For example, if a subscription's renewal date is the 30th of every month (and this is August) and the subscriber selects to skip 2 billing cycles then the resumption date of the subscription will be the 30th of November.

We have polished some rough edges and updated the plugin DOM. Xero reconciliations should be better now.

You can now scroll the index pages - customers, subscriptions, Invoices, and Credit Notes vertically. The Leap UI is better than it was!

The following issues were fixed with this release:

An issue with the contract term amount calculation logic was reported. The contract term amount for a subscription was found to be incorrect and inconsistent while applying a full discount, editing the next billing date, or adding prorated charges to the unbilled amount with a full discount.

While editing the offline payment method for a subscription record and reactivating the subscription, the invoice generated was found to have VAT applied twice.

Churn Type Reports VUD with the new flow was impacted and this was fixed with this release.

The discrepancy observed in the MRR retention cohort numbers has been fixed with this release.

The discrepancy observed in the Net MRR growth column names in UI and the downloaded VUD report has been fixed with this release.

While using the Chargbee-AvaTax for Communications integration, if you are using Avalara's ECMS (Exemption certificate management system) for exemptions, Chargebee now passes a new field called custref id to Avalara that captures the customer id to track tax exemptions.

An inability to import credit notes due to a class casting issue was identified. This is now fixed!

Earlier, Chargebee only supported currency value in a 32-bit integer with a maximum value of 21,474,836.47. With this release, the currency value is stored in a 64-bit integer with a long-value limit of 90,071,992,547,409.91. This will allow the merchants to add a bigger currency value to a transaction, plan, or other related entities.

We have tweaked our system to better support customers to sync their invoices in Netsuite without errors.

A new button for the Client Portal and a **Copy URL** button to copy the link to the Client Portal has been added at the top-right corner of the Customer Flyout page.

Two new filters - Last Status and Last Sub-Status have been added to the Customer View.

Earlier, if the customer comes back to the instance/session after it was left idle for some time, it would try to reload but not load anything.With this release, session expiry has been introduced because of which, if the instance/session has been idle for 24 hours, the system will redirect the user to the login page.

While editing a scheduled cancellation of a subscription record to add a new date in the future for cancellation, an error message "The new renewal date cannot be the same as the current renewal date" was displayed. This issue is now fixed!

Chargebee now supports coupon codes (from coupon sets) in the full-page layout of Checkout.

While creating a subscription HubSpot's deal ID was not populating for the checkout link workflows for new connections and Chargebee's Subscription ID field was not showing the subscription ID details. This issue is fixed.

To avoid making an extra API call for fetching entitlements every time a new subscription is created. We now allow you to configure and receive a webhook whose payload comprises of the subscription entitlements for the corresponding subscription Id. This will reduce the implementation time of entitlements compared to implementing the JSON metadata-based solution.

We have implemented some minor UX improvements for the full-page layout of Checkout as below:

Auto-scroll the page to the field where the error validation failed.

Allow editing of the email addresses in the UI via a Change link.
