Highlight

New 'Hidden' product status in Schedules.

You now have the ability to keep Product line items in schedules hidden from customers so you can focus on designing and less time worrying about what your customer sees. More specifically, any Product with 'Hidden' status will:

  • Be excluded from Client Dashboard and live links
  • Remain visible in your schedules the same as any other line item
  • Be excluded from financial totals (both section and schedule level).
  • Remain visible to select in Purchase Orders
  • Remain visible to select in Invoicing
  • Remain excluded from exports (bulk select, schedule and excel exports)

 

Other fixes

  • Fix for when the up and down arrow are spammed when viewing Product Details in Schedules, this resulted in ending up on the wrong product.
  • Fix to exclude certain countries from the invoice application fee due to Stripe limitations. Until Stripe supports application fees in Mexico, the plan unfortunately is to not add it to invoices.
  • Fix for localising Stripe processing fees that are being passed on and update to the calculation.
  • Fix for limiting the invoice item description field to 500 characters so that it doesn't break when the invoice is generated.
