Release 3.15.3.5
Seamless Flow updated for Credit Card Edgil Payment Method Added on 13-Oct-2023
In the seamless flow, if the Independent Address component for the payment page has been enabled, users could purchase or subscribe to a subscription with a single click after entering their credit card information. The issue occurs when the credit card details have been validated, the Submit button disappears, and the user is taken directly to the payment options, even if the fields, First and Last names, Phone, and Zip Code, have not been filled. This resulted in the AddSubscription call being triggered with incomplete information, and since the Submit iframe button is from a third-party payment site, it does not validate whether the aforementioned fields have been filled, resulting in no error warnings being displayed.
Changes have been made to allow the submission of incomplete fields if the credit card has already been validated in the seamless flow by introducing a delay time after each keystroke while filling the fields under the independent address component.
A key, "SeamlessInputDelayTime", must be added to the SP Config file with any numerical value. The value indicates the delay time in milliseconds, with the default value set at 1500 milliseconds (1.5 seconds).
For example, after entering the first name, it will wait 1.5 seconds and then call AddSubscription if no additional keystrokes have been detected. When the user starts entering the following fields, such as Last name, phone number, and zip code, the timer is reset after each keystroke, and the AddSubscription call is triggered only after a 1.5-second delay.
Note: This fix was also merged to 3.16.0.14, 3.16.1.9, 3.16.3.1, 3.15.2.4, 3.16.2.5
Release 3.15.3.4

Seamless Flow updated for Credit Card Edgil Payment Method
Previously, when purchasing a subscription with a Credit Card, if the Independent Address component had been enabled for the payment page of seamless flow, users would have had to go through two-step purchase verification before they could complete the transaction.
Changes have now been made so that users can now purchase or subscribe to a subscription with a single click after entering their credit card details if the Independent Address component for the payment page has been enabled for seamless flow.
This fix was also merged to 3.16.0.7 and 3.15.2.3.

This fix was also merged to 2.39.1, 2.39.1.0, 3.15.2.1, 3.16.0.13, 3.16.1.7, 3.16.2.4, and 3.16.3.

Bug Fixes
Apple payments made using credit cards were experiencing failures, causing error messages to appear for customers.

Purchase API for the new starts in CircPro
New starts in CircPro circulation system are now supported in PurchaseAPI. The new PurchaseAPI has two execution parts: synchronous (to perform the input model validations) and asynchronous (to process all child events). The new start gets rejected if one of the synchronous steps fails while the asynchronous step(s) would fail silently without any user notification. CSRs are able to view failed events and the failure reason, update data and reprocess events via One CSR Portal. More information can be found in our public documentation.
Please note that the introduction of synchronous and asynchronous events will result in two Account Numbers for a subscription purchased on Subscription Panel: the confirmation number is the temporary Account Number that wil be replaced then by a permanent one. The Account number was hidden from the Confirmation page as well as LTE receipts. The users will still get the Permanent Account Number in a confirmation email.
