Chargebee Help Center

List of new features and improvements that have been added to ChargeBee in February & March 2014. This list will be updated as we make new releases.

New Features:

PDF invoices as attachments

Invoice receipts can now be sent as PDF attachments along with the email notification.

Feature Enhancements:

Hosted Pages

You now have more control over the field elements and text content on the hosted pages. Specify which fields you need to show on the hosted pages (custom fields not

supported yet) and also edit the text content (useful for localization).

Here's more on that: https://www.chargebee.com/docs/hp_configuration.html

Note: This feature is currently only available for new users who've signed up after March 1st. For users who've signed up before that and need to switch over to the new hosted pages, contact us at support@chargebee.com to get this enabled.
