🎁 New Features and 🌟 Enhancements

• Public API > Customers > Send Welcome Email - We've exposed an endpoint called Send Welcome Email to the Customers public API that allows you to send or resend the Associate Welcome Email. You only need to pass in the Associate ID. 
• Initial Payment Recovery Feature Groundwork - With this release, we've laid the groundwork for a new integration type: Payment Recovery. Payment Recovery captures failed AutoShip payments and provides a recommendation for the retry date. This feature isn't fully built out with this release, but we'll let you know when the full feature is ready to go!
• Avalara > Send businessIdentificationNo - For Avalara tax integration, we weren't sending the businessIdentificationNo in the GetTax request. Now, if TaxResaleNumber is passed in, we send it to Avalara in the businessIdentificationNo field. If it's missing, the businessIdentificationNo field will be empty.

🐞 Bugs We’ve Squashed

• On the Web Office > Commissions History page, commissions earned (but not paid) were not showing as they should. With this fix, the commissions now show regardless if the Associate was paid or not.
