Customers can now save their payment method for future use when paying for an invoice manually via invoice payment links.

We're rolling this out first to projects that have Mollie or Stripe as payment provider. Adyen support will be added at a later stage.

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.

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.

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 better 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 purchases enabled:

• Checkouts with only “one off” products in the cart will be marked as “one time purchase” instead of being a subscription. 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.

We're ramping up to release some nice smaller updates over the course of the next few weeks. For this week, we would like to introduce Audit Logs for Enterprise Tenants and a few minor other improvements.

🔏 Audit logs for Enterprise tenants

We now support audit logs for tracking security-related events such as user logins/logouts, data access, API token generation, and batch exporting of data.

Audit logs are securely stored in WorkOS and can be browsed and searched via the Firmhouse portal or exported to CSV. There is also an option to set up log streaming to any of the supported SIEM systems, like Amazon S3, DataDog, and Splunk.

Tenant team members that have the appropriate access rights to Audit Logs can access audit logs from the account menu after being logged in to their Enterprise tenant.

Other improvements and fixes

• We now show the date of birth in iDin identification details.
• Added option to skip cancellation email when cancelling via API.
• Fixed validation message on creating a subscription via API when a required extra field is missing.

EU B2B 0% reverse taxes

You can now set up a Tax Rate for your plans and products in services when you sell to businesses cross-Europe. That way you can charge the local VAT when shipping to customers in your own country. Customers from all other countries will get a 0% reverse tax on invoices.

Prevent charging non-paying customers

You can now choose to skip charging customers that are already marked as non-paying. With this setting enabled we will still invoice customers for your services. However, when they are marked as non-paying we will not attempt to charge the customer via your configured payment service provider.

This way you can prevent incurring expensive PSP chargeback fees. Especially with customers using SEPA as their payment method.

Native date of birth field on Checkout

You can now enable a Date of Birth field as a native Checkout field. The field is hidden by default and you can enable it in your project’s Checkout preferences. The advantage of using this new native field over using an Extra Field is that we can also send this field to any acceptance check or risk score rating services automatically.

Other improvements & bugfixes

• Improved export and report generation times.
• Store payment method summary from PSP.
• Fix that finance team members couldn't refund payments.
• Expose "supplier" on Product type in API.
• Send new native Date of Birth field to Focum acceptance checks.
• Cache of Customers overview not always cleared when cancelling subscriptions.
• Fix not attempting to fetch price from Shopify when product is not linked to Shopify.

In November we've spent a good time adding and updating documentation for setting up and integrating Firmhouse. Apart from this we're working on some exciting features and are making fixes & improvements on a daily basis.

We've updated our Shopify integration to the latest Shopify API version. So we're now fully back on track and use Shopify's latest API.

You may have received messages from Shopify that our integration with your store used a deprecated field type and that you had to make sure these were upgraded before January.

So worry no more! We took care of it and everything should again be running smoothly without deprecation warnings.
