New Features and Improvements

Map invoice payment method in Limio to an existing payment method in Zuora

Invoice is an out of the box payment method offered by Limio. Previously, there was no easy way to map invoice as a payment method to Zuora, as there is no ‘Invoice’ as a payment option. Limio has introduced a way for Limio Commerce users to easily map the invoice payment method in Limio to an existing Zuora payment method. This allows for more granular control on how subscriptions paid via Invoice are tracked and reported in Zuora.

To do this from Limio Commerce go to: Settings > General Settings > Zuora > Payment Method ID For Invoice Payments

From there you can add the relevant payment method ID, which can be found in Zuora. 

Screenshot: In the Zuora settings tab, users can set a payment method ID for invoice payments.

To find the payment method ID from Zuora:

• Go to Reporting > Data Sources
• Set Data Source = Payment Method
• Select the Payment Method(s) that you want the ID for
• Set any more specific filters or time frames that you wish
• Click export

You will then have a list of all payment methods and their relevant Payment Method IDs in whichever format you wish. You may not have the relevant access to perform this, so if you are unable to do the above please contact your Zuora administrator. 

New API for adding and removing external identities to a Limio identity

Limio has enhanced how external identities can be managed from a Limio identity. We have created an API which allows users to easily add or remove external identities to a single Limio Identity - allowing multiple users to manage a single subscription. This is especially helpful in B2B cases. 

For example, from a single Limio identity, you could assign:

• A super administrator role which allows for amending the subscriptions associated with the identity
• A financial administrator role allowing access to manage the billing
• A basic access role providing access to the subscription to a group of users

All of this is now possible to do outside of Limio by using this API, and the endpoint to access this is: 

https://{shard}.{domain}.limio.com/api/objects/externalidentity

Read our full API documentation here: External Identities API

Add and remove Add-Ons in Subscriptions

We've extended our Add-On solution to support adding and removing Add-Ons from a Subscription. Currently this is only supported via custom components and LFS but we will continue to enhance our solution so it is supported by our out of the box Limio components.

For more information on Add-Ons and how they are used, please read this article.

Create a new NEXI integration that uses the UPC framework

We have widened the scope of payment providers that are supported out of the box by Limio by leveraging the Zuora Universal Payment Connector service (UPC). Specifically, any payment made through Nexi (a large European payment provider), will now be fully integrated with Zuora out of the box. This means that any customer using Nexi as a payment gateway can expect to benefit from all of Zuora’s billing and payment management capability with little to no customisation required.

Better support for Zuora Preview

We've improved our internally used preview functionality so that different order types are now supported.

Bug Fixes 

Unable to view journey details since adding '/' in Journey name

If a Limio Commerce user created a journey with a "/" in the name, the journey details would not be visible. The slash is used to specify path, so we've enhanced the validation on journey creation to not allow users to create journeys with slashes in the name.

(ZD ticket #2678)

Gift recipient details max limit is hardcoded to 35 characters

Customers reported that the current hardcoded limit of 35 characters for gift recipient details in Single Page Checkout was not long enough. The props First Name Length Limit, Last Name Length Limit, and Email Address Length Limit have been extended to also apply to the gift recipient details.

(ZD ticket #3996)

User can see created journey details only after reload

There was an issue with journeys where the journey wouldn't immediately open after creating a new one. Instead, the user would need to refresh. Similarly, if the user made any changes to the journey, after saving the details wouldn't display until after refreshing. This bug has now been resolved.

This issue affected releases 91 and 92 only. 

Settings on Pages v2 not clickable until tag is added

Previously, users could not click the Settings button in the Page Builder v2 until a tag was added to the Page. This bug has been fixed so users can always click the Settings button.

Gift recipient can see the price of the gifted subscription

There was an issue where gift recipients could see the price of the gifted subscription in the order confirmation component. This has been resolved.

(ZD ticket #4026)

Offers with external pricing cannot be purchased

There was an issue where offers with external pricing configured could not be purchased. This has now been resolved.

This bug affects releases 91 and 92 only.

Error in Events table

If a Limio Commerce user clicked into an event in the Events tab in Subscriptions, navigated to a Subscription, and then clicked to the payment method, an error would show. If refreshed, the user would be successfully redirected. This has been fixed so users no longer need to refresh in order to see the data.

Zuora plugin is setting collect payment to true when no electronic payment method is set

If the setting "Create a Zuora invoice for gift processing" was set to true and a gift was purchased using Invoice as the payment method, the collectPayment attribute in the Zuora callout would incorrectly be set to true. This has been fixed so it is set to False. 

(ZD ticket #4062)

Unable to see pages in fresh environments

There was an issue with Pages v2 where pages wouldn't appear the first time you logged into an environment. This has been fixed.
