Patch 41
New Features
| Item | Description |
| Reset “Integration Run” for failed order creation | When working with an external sale channel (like an eCommerce platform or an OMS), sometimes Rebillia is not able to create the external order (for various reasons). When that happens, the external order creation goes into a daily retry process. This release allows company users to override the daily process and have the system try creating the order immediately (within a 5 minute span). For detailed information, refer to the External Orders documentation. |
| Cancel Rate Plan | Instead of needing to cancel each Charge in the Plan, Rebillia now offers the ability to cancel the Plan itself and all of its Charges via one button click. For detailed information, refer to the Managing Plans documentation. |
| “Subscription Bags” management tools – first release | We are finally starting to smell the end of this cool side project! And with the smell, come the releases. The first two releases for our “Subscription Bags” feature are: – Delete empty bag. – Rename your bag. To review the subscription bags features, refer to the Subscription Bags documentation. |
Improvements
| Item | Description |
| “Select a Company” search bar | Scrolling through a long dropdown list to find the company you want to login to (yes, we are looking at you – partners!) is not fun – so we added a search bar input field to search the company by name, instead of by eye! |
| Main navigation expanded by default | If there was one request made more times than any other, it is having the side navigation menu open by default. We never thought it would be so impactful – but we are just the developers, not the users! From now on, the side navigation menu will be open by default, and FYI – we are tracking if you close it! |
| “Save & Edit” new product | You know the feeling that you create a new product, and want to see your creation? So apparently, we didn’t give you this satisfaction…. NO MORE! With this update release, we have added a “Save & Edit” button at the end of creating a new product, so your dreams could come true. |
| Billing Operation “Set Date” | Our daily operations have been manually executed more than we could ever imagine they would, and with that came a limitation we didn’t think we’d need to address – manually consuming an operation will delay the next operation by 1 day. To combat that monstrosity, we are now giving you the ability to not only set the time of day you want the operation to execute, but also the date you want it to execute on. |
Bugfixes
| Item | Status |
| Can’t add new card with Stripe in Rebillia manager interfaces. | Fixed |
| Can’t add new card with Square in Rebillia manager interfaces. | Fixed |

Patch 42
New Features
| Item | Description |
| Bulk Publish/Disable Rate Plans | This request actually came in from one of our own account managers (Matt), asking for an easier way to publish rate plans on a product. From now on, instead of publishing each plan separately, you can engage the expendable bulk checkboxes on the left side of the item to issue bulk commands. To review this feature, refer to the Rate Plans documentation. |
| Customer Control Panel – Update Card Billing Address / Expiration | Must be one of the highest requested tickets in the history of Rebillia, or even since the invention of sliced bread! Customer can now edit their existing cards on file, updating their billing address and/or their card’s expiration date. To review this feature, refer to the Customer Control Panel documentation. |
| Customer Control Panel – Add new card/address directly from subscription. | Another highly requested item in our bucket list has made its way to production, and now customers don’t need to interact with their address book or their payment methods to change a card/address on a subscription anymore. From now on, customers can add a new card/address and assign it to a subscription directly from the subscription record itself! To review this feature, refer to the Customer Control Panel documentation. |
| Manually link Rebillia account to sale channel account | For our sale channel users that just love to take new customers over the phone and immediately generate them in Rebillia – we have added the ability to manually link a Rebillia generated account to a sale channel account, so the customer could login to your store and view and manage their data easily! To review this feature, refer to the Sale Channel Linking documentation. |
Improvements
| Item | Description |
| Push gateway transaction ID to saleChannel order | More and more 3rd party applications (like OMSs, Fraud Detection apps etc) are looking for specific information in orders to do their tasks. To provide more clarity and allow these systems to do their job, Rebillia will now pass the gateway transaction ID to every order it generates in a sale channel. |
| Push Rebillia IP to sale channel recurring orders | Continuing from the previous point, Rebillia will now pass its IP to every recurring order it generates in a sale channel. |
| Text clarity update to Invoice view. | A small, yet hoping to be effective, update to a text in our invoice details page. Instead of reading “(x) Payments Collected”, it will now read “(x) Transactions Processed” – not implying the status of the transactions as “collected” even though the could be declined. |
| Payment Operation “Set Date” | After getting a lot of positive feedback from last patch’s update to the “Billing Operations”, we have released a complimentary update to match the functionality for our “Payment Operation” and complete the “set date” updates for our daily operations. |
Bugfixes
| Item | Status |
| Can’t add new card with Square in BigCommerce “Payment Methods” interface. | Fixed |
| Square payment form in checkout has a 100px empty space above it. | Fixed |
| Address line 2 not sent properly sometimes to sale channel orders. | Fixed |
| Shipping name not send properly sometimes to sale channel orders. | Fixed |
Patch 43
New Features
| Item | Description |
| Hide Wallet buttons in checkout with subscription | Following BigCommerce’s update to the checkout page, loading the smart wallet buttons on the top of the page, our team has released an update to hide this section when there is a subscription in the cart, preventing customers’ ability to purchase a subscription with a payment method that is not compatible with Rebillia. |
| Added display for Invoice sources. | Invoice source is now available to view in our API for better visibility and tracking of invoice creation sources. To review this feature, refer to the Invoices documentation. |
| “Free Trial” starting rule | Our regular “schedule starting date” feature has been working really good for free trials, but it was impossible to tell the difference between a bonafide free trial charge and just a charge with a scheduled run. So we have released a virtually-same feature specifically for free trial tracking. To review this feature, refer to the Rate Plans documentation. |
| Support PIN rollout | As demand grows in our system and not everyone is recognizable by name anymore, we have rolled out the ol’ trusted support PIN, so you could identify yourselves with our team in times of identity crisis. |
| customers can “Charge Now” their plans | Apparently, if your customers want their subscription expedited, scheduling their subscription to run tomorrow is not good enough – so now we give them the ability to “Charge Now”. To review this feature, refer to the Rate Plan Charges documentation. |
| Plan cancellation action | We have added the ability for “Owner” role users to cancel their Rebillia account. To review this feature, refer to the Staff Users documentation. |
| Send Rebillia Invoice ID to BigCommerce order | To increase relationship and visibility between Rebillia invoices and BigCommerce orders, Rebillia now sends the corresponding invoice ID to the BigCommerce order it creates. |
Improvements
| Item | Description |
| Send Rebillia invoice ID to gateway | Gateway transaction details will now contain Rebillia’s Invoice ID, for better visibility. |
| Overdue invoices can be cancelled | Users can now cancel overdue invoices, even if they have failed transactions attached to them. |
| Add “One Time Purchase” rate plan by default | As “One Time” is a staple plan that shows in almost all products, our team decided to make it a default plan with every product. You can always delete it or edit it, but it is there for when you want it. |
| Allow user to send test email | The email builder’s built-in “send test” is not working… what do we do?! – create our own! Now you can issue a test mail from Rebillia. |
Bugfixes
| Item | Status |
| Automatically set frequency option as “Rebillia Option” when manually linking external product. | Fixed |
| Disconnect Rebillia when checkout has no subscription and total is $0. | Fixed |

| Incompatible payment methods show in cart for guest edge case | Fixed |
| When coupon is added before checkout and total is $0, Rebillia still requests payment method | Fixed |
Patch 44
New Features
| Item | Description |
| Set manual tax to rate plan charge | Company users can now manually set a tax rate to rate plan charges to have the exact tax rate they want to charge each specific rate plan charge item. To review this feature, refers to the Tax documentation. |
| Update company card | Company users can now update their company card’s details (billing address & expiration date). To review this feature, refer to the Billing documentation. |

| Pause Subscription | Subscription plans can now be paused and continued by both the customer and the company user. To review this feature, refer to the Subscription Overview documentation. |
Improvements
| Item | Description |
| BigCommerce “Bulk Pricing” rule support | We have strengthened our support of BigCommerce’s pricing rules and included “bulk pricing” into our list. |
| “Switch Plan” mapping improvements | We have made some improvements for our sale channel users, so that switching plans with linked external products will honor the previous plan’d meta data (such as quantity and charge date). |
| Rebillia account cancellation restrictions updated | From now on, only OWNER role users can cancel the Rebillia account. |
| Trying to manually charge invoice with expired card | We have added a restriction and a visual queue when trying to charge an invoice with an expired card, to prevent mistaken failed transactions. |
Bugfixes
| Item | Status |

| “Starting Date” delay rule not applying proper delay. | Fixed |

Patch 45
New Features
| Item | Description |

| “Pause Plan” Dunning End Action | Added a new end condition to our dunning process to allow to pause plans. To review this feature, refer to the Dunning documentation. |
| “Paused Plan” Notification | Added a new notification for plan status change to “Paused”. To review this feature, refer to the Notifications documentation. |
| View Plan History | We’ve cleaned up the plan pages and create a new view to see plan history for each plan in the subscription bag. |
| Plan Counters Per Product | Viewing our product page, Rebillia will now show the count of plans for each product. To review this feature, refer to the Managing Products documentation. |
| Link Images to Rate Plans and Rate Plan Charges | Company users can now link images to their Rate Plans and Rate Plan Charges for use in email templates, sale channel interface display etc. |
| Link Manual Subscriptions to Sale Channel | Added a new input dropdown to select a sale channel to associate the subscription to when creating a subscription manually in Rebillia. |
| “Tax Inclusive” sale channel | To extend our support with tax inclusive billing, Rebillia now allows to set a sale channel as tax inclusive as a whole. To review this feature, refer to the Tax documentation. |
Improvements
| Item | Description |
| Account/Billing Interface Updates | Plan data, details, current order, order summary, company payment method and invoice history sections have been revamped. |
| Updated content for reports | Our “Cancelled Plans” and “Active Plans” reports have gotten a content update. |
| Better error messaging for smart routing | For companies dealing with advanced routing, we’ve improved our communication in the app interfaces. |
| Revamped interface for customer permissions | We have transformed the long list of checkboxes to group-based sections with easier to understand text and explanations. |
| Dashboard counts active plans instead of bags | We’ve seen the error in our ways. Counting bags doesn’t help as much as knowing how many active plans you have! |
| “Subscriptions” Page now displays Rate Plans | Just like our update to the dashboard, viewing rate plan data directly [instead of through bag data] is much better, so now – the subscriptions page loads rate plan data directly |
| Redesigned Notifications Page | We have made some visual updates as well as organizational updates to our notifications page to make it easier to find the events you are looking for. |
| Information display restructure | To make it easier to navigate through subscription data, we’ve made several updates that will provide more information upfront and organized better. |
Bugfixes

| $0 checkout through coupon discount didn’t show proper payment form. | Fixed |

Patch 46
New Features
| Item | Description |
| Merge all plans in checkout to one bag | When a customer purchases multiple rate plans in the same checkout process, Rebillia will merge all rate plans into one subscription bag. To review this feature, refer to the Subscription Bags documentation. |
| Gateway Environment Control | Added ability to set the environment of the gateway between Production and Sandbox. |
| Set “View Plan Details” as Open By Default | Added the ability to set the plan details view to open by default in sale channel interface. |
| Specific Day Of Year functionality | Added a new functionality for our “Year” based frequencies, allowing to select a specific date in the year the charge will execute. To review this feature, refer to the Rate Plan Charges documentation. |
| Advanced “Upcoming Deliveries” Management | Added 5 possible customizations to each upcoming delivery: skip, change item price, change shipping price, change shipping address, and change payment method. To review this feature, refer to the Upcoming Charges documentation. |
| List of Subscribers Per Product | Each product page now has its own “subscriptions” sub-page that shows a list of all subscribers to this product. |
| “Ship by Quantity” shipping method | Added new shipping method to allow to set shipping rate by quantity of items in order. |
Improvements
| Item | Description |
| Search Bars functionality improved | We have both fixed a couple of search bugs as well as incorporated more allowed search items to our search bars. |
| Manually added subscription redirects back to customer page | Instead of redirecting to the subscriptions page, we now redirect back to the customer account page. |
| “Switch Plan” plan selections | From now own, this feature will only display plans that have at least one recurring charge in them. |
| Error message updates | We have updated several error messages for better communication. |
| BigCommerce customer control panels interface updates | We have made several updates to the BigCommerce customer control panel interfaces. |

Patch 47
New Features
| Item | Description |
| “Reactivated Paused Plan” notification | Now, customers can get a confirmation email, letting them know that their paused plan has been reactivated. *A little scoop – we are working on a mechanism to limit the time a plan can remain paused and allow you to force the plan to reactivate itself. To review this feature, refer to the Notification documentation. |
| “Request Payment Method” notification | We have not anticipated the sheer amount of missing payment methods we will interact with when migrating users into Rebillia, but because this feels needed – we’ve created a notification just for it. Furthermore, Rebillia will now send this email automatically when a subscription is created without a payment method. To review this feature, refer to the Notification documentation. |
| Only charge invoice if external order was successfully created | We have added a new functionality to our invoice-to-order service. When using our “Create order when invoice is on status POSTED” and the creation of the order fails, Rebillia will not try to bill the invoice until the order is successfully generated. This helps tremendously with inventory management issues and data validations (like “does this customer even exist in BigCommerce?”). |
| “Usage Based Billing” subscription rule | Our featured update thus far for 2023 – usage based billing is now available in Rebillia. You can now bill for whatever you want to count or quantify! *This is an advanced billing feature that is not included in our base services and plans. |
| Allow to add CC and BCC to email notifications | Apparently, our beautiful notification bell is not good enough for you guys, so we have added the ability to set CC and BCC email addresses to each one of our notifications. To review this feature, refer to the Notifications documentation. |
| Allow to edit modifier display name | Not all published material is final. Feel free to make changes to the way you introduce your rate plans on your product pages. |
| Bulk Action – Sync Product Rate Plan Charge data to all existing Rate Plan Charges | By default, all active subscriptions are grandfathered and will not be affected by any changes you make to your product. This new feature gives you the ability to apply changes made to your product to all existing subscribers. To review this feature, refer to the Rate Plan Charges documentation. |
| Bulk Action – Link/Unlink external product to/from Rate Plan Charge | Discontinued items don’t mean the end of the subscription anymore! You can now edit which product is linked to each charge item and apply this change to all active subscriptions. Now that’s BC;DR for you! To review this feature, refer to the Rate Plan Charges documentation. |
| Added new activity log for switching plans | Plan switching is now logged in the activity log. |
| Added the ability to create an external order from an invoice in Rebillia | We have added the ability to generate external orders from any invoice in Rebillia, so that you could create custom invoices for your customers and have them translated to orders in your sale channel. |
| Product Rate Plans now allow quantity control | We have now added the ability to preselect the quantity of a charge item to be rebilled on subscription. |
| Product publishing procedure update | From now on, products could only be published if they have at least one published Rate Plan. |
Improvements
| Item | Description |
| Improved display of prepaid plan data in customer control panels | Prepaid plan data will now display with more prepaid related information for the customers to have clarity about their renewal terms – “renews mm/dd/yyyy at $X”. |
| subscription specific MRR value now gets updated once a day | The MRR column of our subscription specific table has been static for long enough – no more! From now on, every change you make will impact and display the update of the MRR. |
| Shipping address now sent to gateway with transaction details | Even though a transaction does not require a shipping address, we hear that you guys want it for some reason.. so, we did it for YOU (yes, you know I’m talking about you!). From now on, Rebillia will send the shipping address from the subscription to the transaction request in the gateway. |
| When disabling a RP, Rebillia does not remove the option from the product anymore (to prevent issues with order creation). Instead, it hides the option from the storefront. | We have made a procedural update to the status of a Rate Plan. |
| New notification variables have been added. | The following notification variables have been added to our system: Frequency, Next charge date, Charge image, Charge status, Product name, Plan name, and Plan status. As each account manages their own templates, we did not make a push of template updates, so these variables are not yet in use in any of the existing notifications. |
| Character limitations have been updated to allow longer name items to store without getting truncated. | You are now able to enter product names up to 255 characters long, so feel free to go crazy with your naming conventions! |
| Inbox notifications only display notifications from last 7 days. | When a notification is left unread in a user’s inbox for more than 7 days, it will automatically be marked as read and be removed from the unread list. |
| Plan history now displays the user that made the change. | Our plan history will now indicate which user made the plan update on the subscription. |
| Added default value to custom tax code option. | No need to break your head trying to figure out what to enter in the “customer tax item code” field anymore – we got you with a default value that is general enough to work for everyone! |
| Upcoming deliveries now considers number of billing periods left when displaying upcoming records. | For subscriptions with an expiration date or a capped amount of billing periods – Rebillia now illustrates when the subscription ends by displaying upcoming records according only up to the expected end date of the subscription. |
| Allow to edit gateway settings in smart-routing to add/remove/edit sub-account. | Users can now interact with the gateway sub-account in Rebillia’s “Smart Routing” interface to add/remove/edit their configuration. |
| Improved logic of sending sale channel order ID -OR- Rebillia invoice ID to gateway. | A big update we have done to data communication with gateways. From now on, when Rebillia creates an order in the sale channel before it charges the invoice – it will communicate the sale channel order ID to the gateway. *For reference – if the invoice is billed first and then the order is created, Rebillia will send the Rebillia invoice ID to the gateway. |

Patch 48
New Features
| Item | Description |
| Data Grid Export | By clicking on the download icon on the top-right of a data table, users are now able to export the current view of the data to CSV. This feature supports filters and search results, meaning you can create a custom output of information and then export it. As we anticipate some exports to contain a lot of data, the preparation of the CSV file will be done in the background and will not affect the ability to navigate the application interfaces. Once the download is ready, you will receive a notification bar on the top of the page with a link to download the report. |
| ShipperHQ Integration | **BETA VERSION** A very popular, highly requested integration. Use ShipperHQ to get live shipping quotes for your subscription recurring orders. |
| Manually Enforce GDPR | We have added a new customer management button to the “Manage Customer” dropdown to enforce GDPR onto a customer’s account. Note that Rebillia will replace all unneeded PII (Personally Identifying Information) with non-PII (emails will be replaced with “gdpr@gdpr.com” for example) data, but will keep any PII that is required to keep running subscriptions or record historical invoice data. |
| Sync External Product Options To Rebillia | **EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE** For companies using a sale channel integration and managing a product catalog external to Rebillia, we now offer the ability to synchronize data from the external product into the Rebillia product, to make sure external orders could be created properly. |
| Select the Display Style of Subscription Option in Sale Channel | For companies using a sale channel integration and publishing subscriptions onto a product catalog external to Rebillia, we now offer the ability to select the display style (radio buttons, dropdown, swatch etc…) of the subscription option on your external product. |
| Select Wether the Subscription Option is Required or Optional. | For companies using a sale channel integration and publishing subscriptions onto a product catalog external to Rebillia, we now offer the ability to select wether the subscription option is required or optional. |
| “Charge Now” feature available in management app. | As the “Charge Now” feature for the customer self-serve interfaces has been a great success, we have now added the ability for company users to issue a “Charge Now” to a customer’s subscription from the staff management interfaces. |
| Discontinue Rate Plan | Rebillia now offers the ability to discontinue a Product’s Rate Plan. By discontinuing the plan (1) The option to purchase this plan will be removed from the product, and (2) all subscriptions on this plan will be cancelled. Discontinued plans CAN NOT be reactivated. |
| Customer Store Credit | **BETA VERSION** Customers can now be assigned store credit in their profile, and store credit can then be used to fulfill recurring orders. At this version of release there is no communication of store credit values between Rebillia and sale channel customer accounts, so we can not use store credit from the customer’s profile in the sale channel yet. |
| USAePay Gateway Integration | Our payment integrations team has developed and released a new gateway integration – USAePay. The integration provides all of the standard gateway functionality, from card vaulting through charging, refunding, voiding etc.. |
| “15 day” & “30 day” Reminder Notifications | We have added two new variants of our 7 day reminder email, to allow managing different timeframes as well as sending multiple reminders to customers. |
| Link/Unlink Subscription To/From Sale Channel | For companies manually creating subscriptions in Rebillia that did not have a customer account on their sale channel, or only connect a sale channel later – Rebillia now offers the ability to manually manage the connection of a subscription to a sale channel. Linking a subscription to a sale channel means that Rebillia will start creating orders in the sale channel as well as allow the customer to login to their account in the sale channel to manage their subscriptions. |
| Manually Send “Payment Request” Email | When a subscription is created without a card on file, Rebillia will automatically send an email to the customer asking them to add a card on file to their subscriptions. As this doesn’t always work first time – we’ve added the ability for company users to manually trigger this email again to a specific customer. |
Improvements
| Item | Description |
| Added More Tag Associations | Subscription pages will now show the assigned payment method and sale channel as tags, for easy association of data. |
| New Offline Payment Methods | Due to demand and requests, we have added more options to our Offline Payments section. |
| Added Tooltips throughout the application. | To improve the usability of the app, we have started adding tooltips next to feature titles to help explain the related functionality. |
| Credit Card Editing in App Interfaces | Credit Cards can now be edited by company users to allow updating billing address and expiration dates from within the staff management interfaces. |
| Changing Card On File For Subscription Now Updates Card On Open Invoices. | From now on, when a customer updates the card attached to their subscription, the card will also update on any open, un-billed, invoices this subscription has. |
| Cancellation Event Log Added | Rebillia will now display event logs for plan cancellations, so cancellation time of a plan could be viewed and tracked by company users in the management interfaces. |
| Improved Logic For “Charge Now” Next Date Calculation | We have updated the logic of calculation of the next charge date upon using the “Charge Now” feature so that it will calculate the next charge date according to the date the feature was used, and not according to the original schedule. |
| Allow to Deselect Optional Options When Editing External Products | When editing an external product on a specific subscription charge item, company users are now able to deselect and leave optional options empty. |
Bugfixes
| Item | Status |
| Can’t set shipping price to $0 with advanced upcoming feature. | Fixed |
| General 400 error when editing Product Rate Plan. | Fixed |
| Usage-based Plan Charge not getting proper price type ($/%) assigned. | Fixed |
| Tax calculated wrong when coupon applied to checkout order. | Fixed |
| Notification variables not properly populating. | Fixed |
| Product options “not found” when loading linked external product interface. | Fixed |
| Intermittent issues with payment form not opening in checkout with new card. | Fixed |
| Removing a delay from a Plan Charge doesn’t actually remove the delay. | Fixed |
| Plans page filter not working. | Fixed |
| Can’t unlink sale channel product from Rebillia product after published and purchased. | Fixed |
| Can’t update Plan Charge item when subscription status is “Request Payment”. | Fixed |
| Whole Rate Plan gets cancelled when one-time charge executes, even if there are active recurring charges. | Fixed |
| Checkout orders do not get gateway transaction ID to display in order details in sale channel. | Fixed |
Patch 49
New Features
| Item | Description |
| Subscribe directly from product page | This feature will allow customers to sign up to subscriptions directly from the product page, instead of needing to add the product to cart, proceed to checkout and purchase it. |
| Set charge item as a GIFT rule | When creating a plan that should contain a gift item, companies want to make sure customers can not tinker with the gift item (skip, reschedule, edit quantity etc.). To that purpose, we have created a new rule for the rate plan charges. Once a charge is set as a gift item, customers won’t be able to manage the gift item independently. |
| Daily operation notifications | Company users can now turn on internal notifications, which will trigger our system to send daily emails with all of the tasks that have been processed (invoicing, billing, order creation and dunning). |
| Notification channel default values | Each notification channel now has the ability to accept default values (logo, name, email, and phone). These default values will be automatically entered into any new notification template generated in the system, so that company users won’t need to enter them manually per every template. |
| Product bulk Publish | When a new line of products is released and injected into Rebillia, publishing one-by-one is time consuming. We have released a control to bulk publish products and their plans. |
| Link manual invoice to sale channel | Manual invoices can now be linked to a sale channel, which will in turn allow the functionality to create an order from manually generated invoices in Rebillia. |
| Subscription minimum commitment | Subscription plans can now get assigned a time based minimum commitment requirement, preventing customers from being able to cancel their subscriptions for a certain period of time since subscribing. |
| Create account in checkout without redirecting away from checkout page | When a guest is trying to purchase a subscription, Rebillia requires them to login to create an account. From now on, customers won’t need to leave the checkout page to create their account, but could create the account as they are checking out. |
