Multi-Attribute Pricing on Events-Based Billing

Charging based on value is something we believe strongly in and are excited to announce that you can get even more granular with how you price and bill based on events. Previously, it was possible to bill on events and then vary the price based on 2 additional pieces of data (or attributes). This has now been updated to 4. 

For example, if you were billing based on messages sent through your platform, you could track "origin", "destination", "message type", and "data size" in addition to configuring different rates for every permutation of those attributes.  

Try Events-Based Billing today and see for yourself the sophisticated granularity you can achieve with it. For more information on Events-Based Billing, see our documentation here>

Accounts Receivable Report Now In General Availability

The A/R aging report we announced two months ago is now available. 

You can now track customers' outstanding balances and credit balances using the Accounts Receivables report. This report tracks customer balances down into invoiced amounts, payments, refunds, prepayment balances, and unapplied credits. 

It is also possible to use the Accounts Receivable report to measure outstanding balances and make provisions for doubtful accounts. You can also use this report in tandem with the Revenue Retention report to manage overdue accounts and to identify unpaid invoices that can be paid by allocating existing balances. 

For more information on the Accounts Receivable report, see our documentation here>

Avalara Integration Accounting Updates

You can now choose how to sync over invoices to your Avalara account using the Chargify to Avalara integration. When configuring your Avalara account in Chargify, you have the option of posting documents to Avalara, as well as choosing how those documents are sent. The two options available are:
  • Set open invoices as 'Uncommitted' in Avalara, supporting Cash Based Accounting practices
  • Set open invoices as 'Committed' in Avalara, supporting Accrual Based Accounting practices

This flexibility allows you to follow either Cash Basis or Accrual Basis accounting principals through our Chargify to Avalara integration. To turn this on for your environment, reach out to your Customer Success Manager or the Chargify Support team.

A/R Dashboard and Export Updates

It is now possible to filter based on invoice status within the Accounts Receivable Dashboard. This filter is especially useful when working with invoices that are past due or in a 'Collections' status. All filters have also been moved to the top of the dashboard and now filter the results across the entire dashboard.

Refunds and service credits are also now included in the Accounts Receivable Export, fully rounding out the content to include a wholistic view of open A/R.

Multi-Currency Support For Events-Based Billing

In a global economy it is more important than ever to price and sell your products and services in ways your customers want to buy. To support you in this effort, we have introduced enhanced multi-currency support for our Events-Based Billing. This means you can now define your multi-attribute pricing in any currency. An example of this for a Marketing SMS Company is charging $0.10 for a US based customer sending messages to the UK and £0.046 for a UK based company sending the same messages.

Updates to Renewal Email Timings

Making sure your customers know when their trials are ending and paid subscriptions are going renew is now easier with some updates we have made to our renewal email notifications. With these updates, it is now possible to configure the timing and email content for you trial subscription notification. It is also now possible to configure the timing of subscription renewal emails based on the product your customer is subscribed to.
