RELEASE NOTES

CPM for Stripe Release Notes (Full Version)

Release Overview

A new Channel Payments Manager (“CPM”) application that allows for connectivity between Business Central and external payment platforms has been introduced by Suite Engine. In addition to a core architecture that facilitates the development of platform integrations, CPM features out-of-the-box integrations to commonly-used payment solutions. CPM contains the necessary setup and processing functionality to properly send information back and forth between Business Central and a connected platform:

Features and Functionality

• Support for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Wave 1 (version 20) has been added to CPM for Stripe.
• It is now possible to accept customer payments from ACH direct debit accounts. Functionality has been added to retrieve all payment methods that have been defined for a customer in Stripe
  when processing a payment in Business Central. The user can select any of these payment methods to complete the transaction.
• When credit card information is being entered for a customer payment, it is now possible to save that credit card as new customer payment method.
• Stripe-specific accommodations have been made to support the expansion of CPM functionality to accommodate sales orders. See the in-depth feature description for more details.

Corrections

• Attempting to select the Default Payment Method field on the Stripe Credit Card Payment page before the page had finished loading would result in an error. This has been corrected.

Miscellaneous

• CPM for Stripe’s default demo data load has been updated to support new features introduced with this release.
