🎁 New Features and 🌟 Enhancements for All!

🌟 Improved! New Autoship Frequencies [Corp Admin] To expand the existing Autoship frequencies, we have added 3 new additional options for 30, 45, and 60-day Autoships. To enable these set your Autoship frequency by following this Help File.

🌟 Improved! HyperWallet Money In With EUR [Corp Admin] Along with the recent update to enable HyperWallet to be paid out in EUR, we also added a new integration to enable taking money in through HyperWallet in EUR.

🌟 Improved! Ability to Save Payment Methods through Client Extension [Client Extension] Developers working in the Client Extension can now directly save payments without relying on the default iFrame coming from the UI. Use this service to save payments manually: SavePaymentMethod.

🌟 Improved! Direct Binary Placement Through Enrollment [Retail Site] Along with the Visual Tree updates to specify the URL format in the Binary Tree for direct enrollment, the Retail Site now has full support to consume that link and properly place people in the Binary Tree. 

🌟 Improved! Easier to Understand Errors [Office Admin & Retail Site Admin] Additional error messages have been added to the Office Admin and the Retail Site Admin to make it easier to understand when issues happen.

🌟 Improved! Locked Down Autoship Date Selector [Retail Site] The date selector to pick your Autoship date has been locked down to just the calendar selector preventing people from manually typing in a date and accidentally setting an Autoship years in the future.

 

🐞 Bugs That Have Been Squashed

🐞Fixed: Coupons Not Working on First Order [Retail Site] When we introduced the new feature to limit coupon usage by Price Group this didn’t take into account users placing their first order before they are assigned a Price Group. This caused coupons to fail during enrollment. This has been fixed so when a user has not been assigned a Price Group the coupon logic will still apply based on what they are signing up as.
