Overview

Updates and Fixes

UPS Updates

• NOTE: In June 2024 will no longer allow integrations using the current integration that CIMcloud uses and all clients using UPS will need to update their site with the new credentials for UPS to continue to work. The process for obtaining the new credentials can be found here – https://developer.ups.com/get-started?loc=en_US
• CIMcloud UPS integration upgraded to support the new oAuth 2.0 UPS API. This API will eventually replace the now deprecated API we currently integrate with. This upgrade supports integration with UPS for package rating, address verification (requires add on bundle), and Freight (requires add on bundle) integrations.
  • See the following link for more information: https://developer.ups.com/oauth-developer-guide?loc=en_US
• The Shipping section of Application Settings has been updated for entering the new credentials (see link above for obtaining credentials). Once the credentials have been entered and saved these credentials will be used for all UPS integration calls.

This allows the use of core features to toggle features during collection (i.e. International addresses) and customizations using hooks and custom features. Users will now see the following pop-up when entering a new card or editing the address for an existing card during checkout.

Credit Hold Feature Updates

• Fixed issues related to feature Stop Orders on Hold or Over Limit and Force Orders to CC only if on Hold or Over Limit. These are part of the Advanced Order Entry Tolls add-on bundle. These features have been combined and all functionality is through the Stop Orders on Hold or Over Limit. This feature allows setting each payment methods as to whether it is available to users based on the account being on credit hold or if the order takes them over their credit limit. If the feature is enabled and the user is on hold or over credit limit messages are displayed at checkout above the payment methods. These messages are configurable in the settings.
