Expanded digital services provide greater accuracy in classifying your products and determining tax rates, especially for goods that may be tax exempt.

ENHANCEMENT
BUG FIX
Fixed Refund creation via Credit Notes
The new Refund feature needed a minor correction after launch. Previously, when trying to add a full amount refund for a Credit Note with a fractional correction, the system used the wrong amount value (Amount instead of Total) and would not allow the refund to be created. With the correct value in validation, refunds via Credit Notes function as correctly as refunds via invoices and transactions.

Reach more customer segments by offering them preferred payment methods they trust and use frequently.
Notifications
With the launch of ACH, there was a need for a new notification to be special in functionality.
