Version 4.6. Release date 27 October 2020

New features and enhancements:

Implemented manual prolong of subscriptions

Both customers and managers can now create a prolong order manually in advance, before the specified number of days to the billing day. The number of days is specified in the "Manual renew point (days)" parameter of the subscription. (CR-1121)

Added the ability to limit the list of countries for customers

A reseller can now define which countries are available for creating a new account in the Operator Control Panel as well as for self-registration and editing of an account in the Customer Control Panel: any country or only selected countries. (CR-1142)

Implemented resending notifications on unpaid orders

It is possible to configure an email notification for customers with a reminder that they have payments to be completed. The notification will be sent in the specified number of days after creating an order or joined payment linked to several orders. (CR-1144)

Implemented new billing type License-based (Monthly)

The License-based (Monthly) billing type is applied to services with monthly payments for the maximum quantity of resources ordered anytime within a month as if a customer consumed it for the whole month. Subscriptions to a plan with this billing type can have only a period of 1 month and the billing day set on the first day of the month. For a new subscription order, a customer pays for a whole month regardless of the purchase day. (CR-861)

Improved the migration script for Microsoft CSP subscriptions in terms of charges for the current billing period

Using a new script parameter, it is now possible to define whether the charges for migrated subscriptions will be generated for the current billing period. By default, during migration, charges will not be generated for the current billing period. (CR-1216)

Implemented the possibility of autocompleting of all payments

In the Operator Control Panel, in the system settings, a manager can now activate autocompleting of all customers' payments and select the payment method for this operation. (CR-1127)

Implemented fixing currency rate for postpaid invoices

When a reseller updates the currency rate, the billing process recalculates the amount of charges in the "Blocked" status for postpaid subscriptions similarly to the previously implemented recalculation of the amount of charges in the "New" and "Open" statuses. As a result, postpaid invoices for the previous billing period use the currency rate applicable when the postpaid invoice is issued. (CR-1179)

Improved user experience in the platform

Improved user experience in the Operator Control Panel:

  • On the "Orders" page, a new column has been added with information about the creator of an order: a customer, a manager, or the platform. In the corresponding report, new columns have been added with information about the creator of an order and subscriptions linked to an order. (CR-1149)
  • For new plans with the Pay-in-full billing type, the limitation of the plan period duration has been added: only "1 month" allowed. For existing plans with the Pay-in-full billing type, for one-month plan periods, their duration cannot be changed; for other plan periods, their duration can be changed to "1 month" only. (CR-1219)

Improved user experience in the Customer Control Panel:

  • The name of a button for stopping a subscription has been unified across different pages of the Customer Control Panel. (CR-1122)
