Customers can now save their payment method for future use when paying for an invoice manually via invoice payment links.
With the new checkbox shown on every invoice payment link your customers can choose if they want to use the new payment method for future payments or not.
One time checkouts
We’re gradually rolling out support for one time checkouts via Firmhouse Checkout. We invite all our merchants who are interested to get in touch and join our private beta.
Adding one time checkouts allows Firmhouse to support more traditional e-commerce in combination with all the new and innovative models we support such as subscriptions, rental, and try & buy. Adding support for one time checkouts is a key point for making sure you as merchant can offer a consistent and holistic experience to all your customers. Whichever way you choose to sell.
With one time checkouts enabled:
Checkouts with only “one off” products in the cart will be marked as “one time purchase” instead of being a. Full subscription carts or hybrid cards will still be treated as subscriptions.
Analytics and insights will ignore one time purchases from subscription metrics, making it easier to distinguish between your one time revenue and your recurring revenue.
The Self Service Center will be updated to make a clearer distinction between one time orders and subscriptions.
Expiring API access tokens
When creating an API access token, you can now set it up to expire within a number of chosen days. Our API will throw an error message on an expired token.
Expiring API tokens allow you to enforce key rotation policies. Or a safer way to allow individual developers to use tokens for one off maintenance tasks or troubleshooting sessions.
Better handling of one time products in order-based projects
One time products will now be handled much better in smart order-based projects.
From now on any product that is set to a ship once frequency will be marked as owned as soon as the order for it is generated. Previously we kept these products shown as active in Firmhouse Portal and Firmhouse Self Service Center which is could lead to confusion for your customer.
In addition, this fixes an issue that Shopify sometimes returned the wrong shipping costs for a recurring order, because it was still treating previous ship once products as active.
