Checkout API

  • Fixed bug that the discount code was not being displayed on the Checkout UI when the checkout was created using the Checkout API and then the customer redirected to the Checkout UI to complete the checkout. Now the discount code is displayed when applied via the Checkout API.

Now new subscriptions will inherit the default value from the product record. To implement this functionality you'll need to generate a new theme or update your existing subscription_new.html file (see image below for updates).

    {% if subscription_defaults.expire_after_specific_number_of_charges %}

    {% endif %}

  • Added ability to delay a subscription as a retention strategy when a customer is cancelling their subscription. To implement this functionality you'll need to generate a new theme or update your existing subscription_retention_strategy.html file (see image below for updates).
