APIs:

• Customer metadata are now available under the Update Customer, the Create Subscription, and the Update Subscription Open API endpoints to ensure that custom form fields can be stored on Pelcro directly from your website.
• You now have the ability to filter subscriptions by status directly through the Core API, to mitigate time restrictions and payload for fetching all the required subscriptions within any integrations/automations.
• You can now import Vantiv/Worldpay payment transaction NetworkTransactionID as part of the Create Source Core API endpoint for maximizing transaction success rates when using Worldpay as your payment gateway.

Webhooks

• days_to_creation attribute within the invoice. upcoming webhook can now be overridden by the duration in the plan settings over the duration set in the site settings.
• customer.id, customer.email, and customer.name attributes have been added within all of our source webhooks to properly notify end users based on expiring cards, so that you're able to maximize revenue and retention.
• SKU metadata have been added to the order. created webhook payload to help you define business logic based on granular SKU custom information.

🤝

INTEGRATIONS

• Your users will now have their email address updates automatically synced to MailChimp when directly from Pelcro.
• We've also applied the below modifications to the checkout process in case of using TAP & Vantiv payment gateways, whenever a customer is creating a new subscription
  1. In case payment retries setting is active - if there is a hard decline on the payment, the subscription gets expired immediately, and the invoice is voided automatically
  2. In case payment retries setting is inactive - if there is any decline in the payment, the subscription gets expired immediately, and the invoice is voided automatically. This will ensure that if a customer is creating a new subscription, and the payment does not go through, the invoice which was generated will be voided and will not remain open.
• TAP Payment gateway has now been enhanced to mitigate any declines related to limitations on debit cards with 3DS authentication. We now rely on TAP's BIN check API for checking if the card is a debit card or credit card. Debit cards are now directly charged with the minimal amount possible to verify that the card is valid, whereas credit cards undergo the normal verification as usual.

Platform updates

Two Address enhancements that your customer service team will love!

A) We want you to have the most seamless flow possible. The first enhancement will automatically fill the country field in the create address screens across multiple flows. All you need to do is to set the default country from your site settings and save your customer service team a step whenever they create a new address.

B) Shipping address selection
You will now find the shipping address pre-selected when you create or renew a subscription instead of selecting it from the drop-down list.

Customer Metadata exports
You'll find the customer ID has been added to the customer metadata exports.

Customer segmentation made easier!
You will now find a new filter has been added to the list builder for fulfillment lists. This filter should enable you to segment customer subscriptions based on whether the customer is part of a previous fulfillment or not. This helps you build fulfillment lists for any ad-hoc fulfillments that may fall outside of your typical fulfillment cycle.

Enhancements to MailChimp Integration
A) Since merge tags are important to personalize the content you send to your users, we have introduced an enhancement that enables you to select which merge tags you wish to be sent from Pelcro to MailChimp. This enhancement should enable you to focus on the messages you wish to prioritize. You can do that by clicking on the MailChimp integration from the platform and then selecting which merge tags are to be sent to your MailChimp account.

B) You can also now send automated emails via MailChimp when a campaign has started as we've introduced the ability to sync the campaign.triggered event to MailChimp. This helps you in making sure you have the data points and the automation mechanisms necessary for new product launches, creating brand awareness, or even minimizing churn. Learn more

Automatic Personal Data Deletion
Pelcro supports you in maintaining compliance efforts with international privacy regulations (e.g. GDPR). A new setting has been added to the site settings, to ensure that when you delete a customer from your records, all associated personal data can no longer be linked to the user without the use of additional data. The delete customers button is now available only to the Admin and Owner roles.

Subscription enhancement
To enable you to freely delete future phases we made sure to remove the restrictions on deleting subscriptions' future phases.

Performance improvements

• We're introducing major performance enhancements to a number of our platform most used sections, as well as several API endpoints, including but not limited to: subscriptions, customers, and accounting.

🚧
