The Free plan's monthly limit only counts Free accounts
When several of your PayBridgeNP accounts use the same payment provider account, the Free plan's Rs 50,000 a month is shared between them, so one seller cannot open several Free accounts on one provider account. An account of yours on a paid plan no longer uses up that shared Free allowance, so a quiet Free account is no longer paused by sales your paid account took. Refunded payments now count at their full amount, as partly refunded ones always did. The usage emails and dashboard notice now say plainly when the total includes your other accounts.
- PayBridgeNP ID
PayBridgeNP ID: monthly statements and where your money went
Activity now shows this month's top five shops with what you spent at each; tap one to see only its payments. A monthly statement downloads any of the last twelve months as a spreadsheet, in Nepal time, with the shop, amount, refunds, status, the bank or wallet it came from when Fonepay reports it, and the references, ready for a budget or an office claim. Payment preferences now shows when you have paid with eSewa or Khalti by scanning a Fonepay QR in their app, instead of saying they were never used. On phones, the receipt keeps keyboard focus inside it until you close it.
- PayBridgeNP ID
PayBridgeNP ID: see which bank or wallet paid, and every one you have used
Activity now shows, for each payment, the bank or wallet it was paid from when Fonepay's report includes it, and the receipt lists how it was paid, the date and copyable references, including the bank's reference and the note your bank app showed for Fonepay payments. Payment preferences lists the banks and wallets you have paid with, how often and when last, and whether you reached a wallet through its own checkout or a Fonepay QR. Show older payments loads more history. Your account page opens with your ID and the steps left to set it up, the delivery address is edited on its own page, phones can now reach Security and Settings, and downloading your data or deleting your ID now sits in Settings.
- Billing
Plan renewal reminders by SMS, and a shorter grace period
Paid plans now send an SMS as well as an email a week before they end and on the last day, another when the plan ends, and a final email and SMS the day before your account moves to Free, with the exact time in Nepal time. New paid periods get 3 days of grace after the end date instead of 7; a period you have already paid for keeps the grace it was sold with. If you turned renewal off, the reminders say your account moves to Free on the end date.
- Dashboard
Dashboard: Activity shows who changed what
Audit logs is now Activity, under Settings. It lists what happened in your account and who did it: a person in the dashboard, with their browser, an API key, an AI assistant or PayBridgeNP support. The account owner also gets a Security tab for sign-ins, two-factor authentication, API keys and team changes; team admins see Activity only. Payment links made, edited, duplicated, cancelled or deleted in the dashboard, and refunds started or resolved there, are now recorded, and payment links and payments show their own History. Every plan sees the last 30 days; Pro and Enterprise can search their full history.
- PayBridgeNP ID
PayBridgeNP ID: Not you? signs you out, and checkout can remember your browser
Tapping Not you? at checkout now ends that checkout's PayBridgeNP ID sign-in for good, including one still on its way, and your saved details leave the page. After you confirm your phone with a code, checkout remembers this browser for 30 days so your details fill in next time; untick Remember this browser to skip it, or tap Not you? to forget it. Saving a new PayBridgeNP ID after payment offers the same, already ticked. Only the details you were shown are saved to your ID. Remembering is not offered on a store's own domain or when checkout opens over a store's site.
- Checkout
An expired Fonepay QR waits for your customer
When a Fonepay QR runs out of time, checkout no longer swaps in a new one on its own. It tells the customer the QR has expired, asks them not to pay again if they are already paying in their app, and shows a Get a new QR button. A payment on the old QR is still received. Under Scan QR, checkout now shows the apps customers pay with most, with their own bank first.
- Billing
Invoices and payment links match the new checkout
The pages buyers open to pay an invoice or a payment link now share the checkout's look, with Scan QR first. Payment links use your brand colour instead of the default colour. The subscription invoice page can be read in Nepali, with Nepali dates and amounts, shows your logo and name at the top, and says plainly when a cancelled or paused subscription's invoice can't be paid. An expired or cancelled checkout now shows your logo and name at the top.
- Dashboard
Dashboard: find payments, sessions and refunds by customer
Payments search now matches a customer's name, email or phone, a checkout session ID and Fonepay's RRN. Sessions and Refunds get their own search box and a provider filter. New accounts give a mobile number when they sign up, so we can reach you about your account.
- Dashboard
Fonepay payments show where the money came from
When Fonepay's settlement report has the details, a payment's timeline shows the payer's bank or wallet, Fonepay, and your settlement bank, each with its logo and time.
- Checkout
Fonepay bank-app buttons work on Android
On Android phones, tapping a bank under Fonepay opened the bank app without the payment, which then said it could not start the QR payment. The bank app now opens with the amount ready, as it already did on iPhone, and always with the latest QR.
- Checkout
Payment texts fit in one SMS
Shopify payment reminders are shorter, so a long shop name no longer makes them two SMS. Receipt, failed-payment and refund texts drop the PayBridgeNP sign-off, and then the provider name, only when that is what keeps them to one SMS. Names, order numbers, amounts and links are never shortened.
- Billing
Buy more SMS when your monthly allowance runs out
On plans that include SMS, the SMS page now shows how many of this month's included messages are left and lets the account owner buy SMS credits. Credits are used only after the monthly allowance, one per SMS part, last 12 months, and are returned if a message fails to send.
- Checkout
Choose which customer details checkout asks for
Project settings now has Customer details: make the mobile number, email and name required, optional or not asked, for checkouts, payment links and payment buttons. Developers can change it for one checkout and show contacts they already know as read-only. Shopify orders show the customer's phone and email from the order without asking again.
- Checkout
Checkout asks for a mobile number or an email, not both
Customers paying through checkout or a payment link now need only one way to be reached, a mobile number or an email, and their name is optional. A Shopify order that already has the customer's phone goes straight to payment instead of asking for an email first. Anything typed is still checked, and the first field to fix is the one highlighted.
