- A new Email Subscriptions object has been created.
- A new “Email Subscriptions” Tab has been added to Subscriptions.
- A new Email Templates object has been created.

Ecommerce Link Generation
SmarterPay has introduced Ecommerce link generation into SmarterPay Cloud.
We have taken the Ecommerce V1 functionality, currently in SmarterPay Cloud, and redesigned it with more features and functionality, whilst still keeping the legacy version in the system.
Changes, in SmarterPay Cloud, for this new feature, are:
- A new ECommerce Branding V2 object has been created.

Multiple API Keys
SmarterPay has introduced multiple API keys into SmarterPay Cloud.
We have added the ability to have multiple API keys setup in the system. This allows integration from more than one third-party solution to have its own key, and IP access list, for greater security and control.
There is now separate IP access control for API and Portal.
Changes, in SmarterPay Cloud, for this new feature, are:
- A new “Connected Application” object has replaced the “API Key” field under System Settings.
- The “Network Access” menu item has been renamed to Portal Network Access.

Also to increase security, we have added the OAuth option to Webhook Subscriptions.
Changes, in SmarterPay Cloud, for this new feature, are:
- “OAuth” and “OAuth + PKCE” added to Webhook Subscription - Security Setup.
Other Changes
We have added the ability to modify upcoming payments to Ongoing Schedules, in the same way that you have been able to in Payment Plans.
Changes, in SmarterPay Cloud, for this new feature, are:
- Edit button added to a Ongoing Schedule's Future Payment List.
Changes, in SmarterPay Cloud API, for this new feature, are:
- upcoming_payment property added to the Ongoing Schedule's API PUT Endpoint.
