Release June 17th

The 5th release of INFO-Subscription in 2025 is here, it also marks the last release before the summer holidays.

This release contains a mixed bag of things, such as more improvements to the newly introduced additional products and additional details on billing transactions to facilitate better reporting and auditing of billing transactions. It also contains a number of improvements to the checkout to improve the conversion rate.

API and Backend

Added

• [Preview] Added validation to prevent a plan change to a different billing frequency when an existing subscription has an additional product with a price override.

• [Preview] Support for updating some header level information on already issued invoices.

• Added property to Allowance and Charge account transaction creation that indicates if the registered transaction is adjustment is included in the ledger (and thus needs to be reversed when billing the transaction).

• Added support for resubmitting an existing invoice to the PEPPOL Network.

• Subscriber Contacts can now be queried directly via the OData reporting API. Previously they were only available via the owning subscriber.

• POST /order/{id}/complete now contains an optional parameter to control wait time (or disabling waiting entirely), before returning a result. This is useful if your workflow has an upper bound on the processing.

• A new complete transaction log for all billing related transactions is available in the reporting subsystem.

Changed

• Allowances now contains TaxDetails when generated based on transactions with TaxDetails (Split and Proration for Paid periods).

• Added support for retrieving upstream/remote status of Vipps MobilePay ePayments.

• Final/Balance Demands with allowances from the billing account will now map these as allowances on the Invoice. Previously they were mapped as negative charges.

Fixed

• [Preview] An issue where scheduled plan changes would not properly merge included additional products with identical purchased additions products.

• [Preview] An issue where scheduled removals of additional products would not work when the product was present as both an included product and a purchased product.

• An issue in the reporting subsystem where subscriber contact information was not always correctly set when retrieving details from Vipps MobilePay.

• An issue where the proration calculation for paid periods would be off by one day. Resulting in invalid amounts being calculated for allowances. The allowance was more than owed to the subscriber, so the negative effects was to the seller.

Merchant Client

Added

• Option to search for subscribers based on their Organization Number identification (Organization Number and CVR Norway, Sweden and Denmark).

• New possibility to disable eFaktura agreements manually as a fallback when the subscriber is unable to cancel it upstream.

Changed

• Price display to ensure prices/amounts are always shown in an identical manner.

• Option to filter for organization is now optional for a number of search views.

• General styling improvements to some of the grid views to make them more consistent with the rest of the application.

Fixed

• [Preview] An issue where transactional/account invoices could not be created if no default Currency was configured.

• An issue preventing activation of Enterprise Plans if not activated during creation.

• An issue where subscription plans without an organization restriction could not be used when bulk creating subscriptions on enterprise plans.

• A minor performance issue where payment agreements were sent during credit and re-issue even if the same agreement should be reused.

Self-Service, Sales Poster and Checkout

Added

• Option to regret a subscription cancellation if it is in the future.

• Support for journey specific text for checkout.

• Support for displaying plan information on checkout for journeys related to ordering a subscription.

Changed

• Sorting of subscription periods so active subscriptions are always shown first.

• Price display to ensure prices/amounts are always shown in an identical manner.

Release May 8th

A new release of INFO-Subscription is ready, we didn’t make it in time for May 4th, so no Star Wars references this time. Contrary to the last release notes we would like to announce that the INFO-Subscription team is still here, and we are committed to providing you with the best possible service. So don’t worry, INFO-Subscription is not going anywhere!

This release includes a number of improvements and bug fixes both to existing features and to the preview features we are working on. As always there are a number of under-the-hood changes that are not listed here, but which should improve the overall performance and stability of the platform, or make room for new features in the future.

API and Backend

Added

• [Preview] Support for removing Additional Product from a running subscription (will be wrapped as a scheduled change).

• [Preview] Support for adding units to Account Payment Demand transactions.

• [Preview] Support for generating payments directly from the SwedbankPay integration instead of via Billing. This allows for automatic payment generation for non-recurring SwedbankPay transactions, letting INFO-Subscription take care of the bookkeeping directly.

• Added a new trigger for the event type PaymentProcessingFailed, it is now also triggered when an operation fails related to VippsMobilePay EPayments (non-recurring).

• Updated versions of the default supplied Power Bi reports.

Changed

• [Preview] Adding an additional product to a subscription will now validate if there is an active price for the product chosen, that matches with the frequency of the subscription.

• Crediting a PaymentDemand on AvtaleGiro, BetalingsService, AutoGiro or eFaktura (with a replacement), now allows for switching the payment method to a different one with a specific Due time. Previously it was only possible to switch if leaving the time to be determined by the system.

• Added validation to prevent deletion of a Product which is used as an Additional Product on a Subscription.

• Retry handling and queue wait time in the POST /order/{id}/complete endpoint has been changed to reduce the mean time to complete the order. The retry handling is now more aggressive.

• Allowed VippsMobilePay descriptions to be longer than 50 characters. The limit is now set at 100 characters. This is to follow the new API limitations from VippsMobilePay.

Fixed

• Invalid response code in the documentation for a few endpoints. The documentation now states the correct response codes for the following endpoints (most of them were listing a lot of status codes that were not relevant):

  • GET /authorizations/source/account/{id}

  • GET /authorizations/domain/{id}

  • GET /authorizations/source/emaildomain/{id}

  • GET /authorizations/source/external/{id}

  • GET /vippsmobilepay/account

  • GET /vippsmobilepay/account/{id}

  • GET /authorizations/source/subscriber/{id}

  • GET /subscription/scheduledsubscriptionchange/{id}/execute

  • GET /vipps/vippsaccount

  • GET /vipps/vippsaccount/{id}

  • GET /vipps/agreement/{id}

  • GET /vipps/charge/{id}

  • GET /vipps/charge

• An issue where billing would generate a 0 amount allowance during settlement, in cases where existing allowances and a payment would be used to cover the exact demand amount.

• An issue where automatic payment demand crediting would not work. This happened on future orders where the subscription was deleted before being started.

• An issue where the VippsMobilePay agreement product description was not being set correctly during orders, but instead would duplicate the plan name.

• An issue where a Payment Updated timestamp would be set during approval, even if the payment was not updated.

• The accounting time on account transactions in the reporting subsystem was not set correctly during billing.

• An issue where TaxPercent was not set on account charges in the reporting subsystem.

• An issue where multiple reminders would not consider previously consumed allowances when generating the followup Payable Amount.

Merchant Client

Added

• [Preview] Support for selecting additional products when ordering a new subscription.

• [Preview] Support for adding and removing additional products on a running subscription.

Changed

• Unified the look and feel of the newly introduced price tooltip, so that it is consistent across all places where it is used. This is the tooltip that show prices with and without VAT and the VAT percentage.

• Unified the formatting of dates on Payments in all related views.

Fixed

• [Hotfix] An issue where searching for subscribers required a configuration value that not all tenants have a value for.

• An issue where removing a shared user from a subscriber account would remove it from all accounts, not just the one it was removed from.

Self-Service, Sales Poster and Checkout

Changed

• Handling of the automatic Swedbank Pay account selection during checkout and orders via sales poster to behave in a consistent manner with multiple organizations and accounts.

Fixed

• [Hotfix] An issue where it was not possible to create a subscriber without a valid email address in the sales poster.

• **[Preview] Multiple issues related to the checkout application including (but not limited to)

  • Handling of not-supported SwedbankPay languages so it now defaults to English instead of breaking.

  • Better redirect handling for VippsMobilePay app switch scenarios.

  • Improved user and subscriber existence check to avoid duplicate subscribers.

Release December 11th

As we reach the end of the year, and the holiday seasons for many, we roll out a new release. This time around the changelog is rather long, with lots of minor improvements and especially UI changes building upon work done in previous releases. We would like to call out the new KPIs in the dashboard, a small change that everyone will notice immediately, and hopefully find useful.

Until next time: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the INFO-Subscription dev team. We hope to bring you more feature packed releases next year!

API and Backend

The following new fixes, features and improvements are now available in the API and the backend.

Added

• Reporting data for the recently introduced revenue KPIs now include a timestamp for the last update, similar to other KPI records.

Changed

• Subscriptions created due to a plan change will now have its SourceType set to ChangePackage. In addition we now set the PreviousSubscription to the subscription that was changed from.

• Handling of AvtaleGiro mandates during automatic change import so that changes in non-operational fields will not cause an update to the underlying mandate and payment agreement.

• Webhooks for new tenants will now only support TLS1.2 or newer. We have yet to decide on a forced migration/upgrade of existing registrations.

• Seeding of the SubscriberNumber Sequence Configuration will no longer reset manually configured sequences during scaling operations.

• It is no longer possible to switch a subscription to an inactive payment agreement. This will cause a validation error instead.

Fixed

• An issue where it was not possible to order with Vipps and MobilePay for subscriptions based on Editions.

• Multiple issues related to converting Editions to periods based on calendars. Mostly related to edge cases where changes happened on the same date as a release on the calendar.

• An issue where updating PaymentRequest retry handling on an existing dunning process would not be processed.

• OpenAPI schema definition for SettlementPolicy for multiple dunning process related operations. It will now correctly specify OneOf with the correct structure instead of just specifying the PolicyType.

• An issue where importing existing Swedbank Pay agreements would fail due to missing token references.

• An issue during VippsMobilePay agreement import where campaign types with missing information would lead to import failures. They are now correctly changed to a different campaign type internally to allow the agreement import.

• Warnings and Errors are now correctly shown when importing payment files with non-structural errors. For instance when no matching organization setup is found.

• Hotfix An issue when handling VippsMobilePay user profile information during orders, with automatic profile gathering, that would cause the order to fail in some scenarios.

Deprecated

We call out the following deprecations, the endpoints/field will be removed in a future version, the exact timing depending on existing use and adoption of replacements.

• VippsParameters should no longer be used for new Orders, instead use the similarly named property VippsMobilePayParameters which also contains new optional fields for profile sharing.

• We are deprecating the field TaxPercentage on the endpoint for creating Account Payment Demand transaction POST /paymentdemand/, in favour of specifying a list of Tax Details.

Merchant Client

The following new features and improvements are now available in the merchant client.

Added

• Option to configure SettlementPolicy in the DunningProcess configuration.

• Possibility to configure ReminderPolicy in the DunningProcess configuration. Specifically this allows toggling on/off whether to automatically write off reminder fees for payments matching the original payable amount.

• Support for selecting a new Payment Agreement during credit and re-issue. Useful for cases where the Subscription the demand is based on is already started.

• Subscription Plans can now be configured to participate in Order Denials evaluation for Offers. A mechanism to avoid repeat subscriptions on offers.

• Support for viewing and modifying typed Order Denial entries for subscribers. Previously there was only one type, so it was impossible to note the difference between them.

• Renewal name and description for subscription plans to use after the initial period. If left blank the behaviour will be to use the default text and description.

• New KPIs in the dashboard for Users and MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue), including a change relative to 30 days ago.

Changed

• Filtering deliveries now allows for selecting calendar release dates instead of just regular dates for products with editions.

• Order Denials are now highlighted during orders registered from merchant in cases where it is relevant.

• When maintaining release calendars an edition number is now shown with the calendar.

• Sanitized the subscription view related to information from the original order, among others removed one of the Order dates.

• General cleanup of the subscription view to streamline placement of information and buttons.

Fixed

• An issue where EHF would not be available when changing/adding Invoice Contact.

• An issue where switching from Email or Invoice to a new EHF Agreement would instead generate an OIO based PaymentAgreement.

• An issue where main users deleted in the source directory would lead to the users page not being rendered.

Self-Service and Sales Poster

The following new features and improvements are now available in the self service and sales poster.

Fixed

• An issue where it was not possible to add a new scheduled address change.

• An issue where configured cancellation reasons would not be shown if cancellation was only allowed at the end of the active subscription period.

Changed

• After self-service logout user is now automatically redirected to the tenant home page (if configured) after a short period of time.

Release November 5th

We march onwards with a new release. This time around we offer a slew of bug fixes and a few general purpose quality of life enhancements.

API and Backend

The following new fixes, features and improvements are now available in the API and the backend.

Added

• Support for selecting a different Payment Agreement when Crediting and Re-issuing a Payment Demand. If a new agreement is selected no lookups will be done to determine which agreement to use. This essentially allows for changing the Payment Method of a single Payment Demand/Invoice when the source subscription has been renewed (after Due Time).

• During orders for Subscription Plans with Editions, an additional validation will be done to ensure that there are enough available Editions in the calendar to cover the subscription.

Changed

• Handling of exporting files for BetalingsService and Autogiro so that the files come pre-generated with a name and extension that is acceptable by the provider.

• The use of VippsParameters in orders routes to the newer VippsMobilePayParameters property without optional profile properties.

• VippsMobilePay ePayments are now marked as failed in case the capture operation fails for some reason.

• The internal OData component setup to improve serialization performance from the Reporting subsystem.

Fixed

• A series of validation errors during orders where the validation routine would reject some valid orders, and NOT reject some invalid orders.

• A few issues related to subscription revenue statistics calculation, mostly to not calculate revenue as lost or gained in edge case scenarios and a lack of unit handling.

• An issue where plan changes (downgrades) on subscription with an not settled payment demand with a large allowance could lead to negative nonpayable payment demands.

• An issue where automatic re-generation of a settled Payment Demands after removal of a future subscription cancellation would lead to an extra Allowance in the billing account.

• An issue where proration would calculate an entire extra day in cases where cancellation is done with a millisecond variation. Specifically billing now resolves to entire seconds and discards any smaller time units.

• An issue where the Edition calendar would not reset the numbering when starting a new calendar year.

• During export of recurring deliveries that would not account for time zone differences.

• Missing OrganizationId on CreditNoteIssued events.

• Invalid SubscriberId on some cases for InvoiceIssued and CreditNoteIssued events.

• An issue where Subscriber Account would not be reset when updating a not identified payment with a new matching type (without Subscriber Account).

• An issue where calculating the next subscription period would not handle scheduled plan changes with a price different from the full price.

Deprecated

We call out the following deprecations, the endpoints/field will be removed in a future version, the exact timing depending on existing use and adoption of replacements.

• VippsParameters should no longer be used for new Orders, instead use the similarly named property VippsMobilePayParameters which also contains new optional fields for profile sharing.

• We are deprecating the field TaxPercentage on the endpoint for creating Account Payment Demand transaction POST /paymentdemand/, in favour of specifying a list of Tax Details.

Merchant Client

The following new features and improvements are now available in the merchant client.

Added

• Support for managing a fixed set of Cancellation Causes causes available in self-service.

Self-Service and Sales Poster

The following new features and improvements are now available in the self service and sales poster.

Added

• Support for restricting Cancellation Causes to a configured set of values.

Changed

• From/To Edition Numbers will be shown on Invoice Lines instead of From/To Date information for Edition based subscriptions.

• Default country is now derived from Country of the Organization instead the globally configured default country during new orders.

• Changed to use VippsMobilePayParameters for orders to keep in line with latest API contract.

Release October 11th

Another month, and yet another release. This time around we are excited to offer support for automatic generation of subscriber contacts based on Vipps and MobilePay approval. This will only light up in case of custom ordering processes, but we are working on supporting it in our own sales process.

Another noteworthy change is the option for enlisting Subscription Plans in a routine for preventing/reducing repeated purchases of offers/discounted subscriptions. This feature is highly dependant on user/subscriber identification, but will essentially prevent users from shopping between offers without ever paying the full price.

Of course we also have a list of minor improvements and bug fixes that makes day to day life better!

API and Backend

The following new fixes, features and improvements are now available in the API and the backend.

Added

• Option for preventing repeat orderings of offer/discounted subscription plans. This affects both Subscription Plans and the Ordering process.

• Profile Sharing requests and related automatic subscriber contact generation for Vipps and MobilePay orders. Simplifies onboarding/checkout for subscribers buying with Vipps and MobilePay.

• New pre-calculated KPIs for Users, Invoices and Subscription Revenue in the reporting subsystem.

Fixed

• Issue where fetching MySupply VaxTransfer account configuration would ignore querying parameters.

• An issue where partial payments on Enterprise Plan would be accounted even though accounting transactions are not enabled for Enterprise Plans yet.

• An issue in the reporting subsystem causing duplicate products on renewal.

• An issue where NextSubscription would be lost in the reporting subsystem if credit and reissue was done post-renewal time.

Deprecated

We call out the following deprecations, the endpoints/field will be removed in a future version, the exact timing depending on existing use and adoption of replacements.

• We are deprecating the field TaxPercentage on the endpoint for creating Account Payment Demand transaction POST /paymentdemand/, in favour of specifying a list of Tax Details.

Merchant Client

The following new features and improvements are now available in the merchant client.

Added

• Option for rescheduling reminder creation time. Essentially extending the due date for the payment demand.

• An option for mapping multiple users to the same subscriber. This essentially corresponds to multiple owners of any subscriptions that subscriber may have.

Changed

• When ordering new subscription the default Payment Method will now be adjusted based on existence of email on the subscriber contact.

• Support for overriding price per unit instead of total price when changing subscription plans on active subscriptions (with and without VAT).

• EHF/OIO are now hidden from view when not configured/available.

• [Preview] Editions are now shown on the Invoice details instead of dates.

Fixed

• An issue where creating a user that already exists would result in an error.

The following new features and improvements are now available in the self service and sales poster.

Changed

• Handling of default selected payment method is now dependant on whether the subscriber contact has an email address.

Release September 11th

• [Preview] An issue where scheduled payment stop would be processed at the wrong time.

• [Preview] An issue where billing would prorate an Edition based subscription if cancelled before the first Edition was “delivered”.

Removed

• As previously announced the PaymentProvider type with the Name PayEx has been removed, in favour of the name SwedbankPay. This is purely a name/branding related change.

Deprecated

We call out the following deprecations, the endpoints/field will be removed in a future version, the exact timing depending on existing use and adoption of replacements.
