New features in CannyBill

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

We are please to announce to some great new little features for www.cannybill.com.

Invoice prefix and start number

Admin -> Settings -> Invoice Settings

Invoice prefix and start number

You can now specify a prefix for an invoice such as letters and also what the number your sequence of invoices should start on.

Specify the return URL for an order form

Admin -> Settings -> Invoice Settings

Order form return URL

Previously when a customer bought a package from a web based order form, the Return to website link which they got on the receipt page would just bring you back to the start of the order form. Well now you can specify where that return link should go to.

Sale & Pre-Auth – PSIGate

Admin -> Settings -> Payment Gateways -> PSIGate

PSIGate

We have added two new settings for PSIGate.

Sale
Chargetype = 0 (Sale) charges the credit card immediately. This is used when you authorize and confirm the shipment of products electronically. Otherwise, credit card Companies require that you pre-authorize (reserve the funds) on the credit card until the product(s) has been shipped.

Preauthorization
Chargetype = 1 (Preauth – Default) reserves the funds on a credit card. This flag should be used when selling goods that must be physically shipped (hardgoods). Credit card networks reserve the funds for varying amounts of time, ranging from three days to several months.

Cannybill.com finalists in award ceremony

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

Competition was fierce at this year’s North East Digital Awards.

We made it into the finals of the competition after receiving support from customers and supporters who wanted to see us scoop the top spot.

But despite being short-listed in three categories in the digital innovators section, we narrowly missed out.

Unfortunately, the best example of accessibility category, which we won last year, was withdrawn due to not enough entries and Cannybill.com was pipped to the post in the best use of advanced practices in web development and best use if API.

Wladimir Baranoff-Rossine, Managing Director, said: “There were a lot of good entries this year and it was a tough competition.

“We were really pleased to make it into the finals and will be back next year.”

The North East Digital Awards was launched in 2007 to celebrate the growing digital industry in the region by show-casing the best digital talent.

You can also look at some photos below which we took on the night:
