Before you head out for all your summer activities, check out what Recurly’s product team has been up to lately.

The July Product Release is live and includes new features and functionalities that will improve your ability to attract and retain subscribers. Here’s a summary of what’s new and why it’s important. 

Invoice customization capabilities

Create multiple invoice templates (up to 10) with custom elements, including header and footer images, logos, company info, rules, and parameters for certain fields and more.

  • Easy to create, assign, and manage 

  • Personalization for customers in different tiers, entities, or regions 

  • More flexibility in invoice communication

New gateway added

We’ve added support for Checkout.com, a global payments provider that provides one of the fastest, most reliable payment solutions. It operates in over 150 currencies, with in-country acquiring, world-class fraud filters, and reporting. 

  • Gain access to a new, leading global payment gateway with a strong presence in the EU  

  • Further diversify your payment gateway strategy to test and maximize revenue 

Salesforce integration updates

Enable the automatic creation of a subscription in Salesforce, triggered when an opportunity moves to the final sales stage (typically defined as “Closed Won”).

  • Saves time and resources automating the process for subscription creation within Salesforce

  • Provides flexibility to turn on/off for specific opportunities 

Also, you can now automatically capture customer payments by empowering your customers to input their own billing information from the Recurly billing info update page, eliminating the need to enter billing info into Salesforce. 

  • Minimize errors and save time by automating the capturing of customer billing info into Salesforce

  • Leverage highly-secure PCI-compliant HPP pages to automate the process with customers 

Visa compliance

To comply with Visa’s recent mandate to deprecate the usage of default reference IDs, we’ve updated our integrations with payment gateways to ensure there is zero impact on your operations.

  • Seamless integration update with no action on your part required  

  • Ensures all merchants are up-to-date and compliant with Visa’s policies 

Tax-inclusive pricing

For merchants operating in the EU, this change allows you to set subscription prices to be inclusive or exclusive of any defined sales taxes, including subscriptions, items, setup fees, and add-ons.

  • Improves the buying experience for your regional customers, specifically in the EU 

  • Gives flexible options to set inclusive taxes across various plans, items, and add-ons

User search & permissions export

Search for specific site users and download a single CSV report consisting of every site user that currently has access, including names, emails, read/write access areas, and user creation date.

  • Simplifies the auditing process to ensure only granted users can gain access 

  • Saves time spent searching for specific site users 

Support for new languages

Witam and Hallå! Recurly now supports Swedish and Polish languages in assets including emails, invoices, and hosted pages.

  • Provide a more personalized experience for customers in Sweden and Poland

  • Expand your coverage to new countries
