What's New in Zoho Subscriptions - April 2021

Hello everyone,

Zoho Subscriptions has new updates which make it easy for you to comply with local regulations, as well as features that can help you save time. Read on to learn what's new in April.

Support for Mandatory HSN codes/SAC (India Edition)

Zoho Subscriptions has made it easy for you to comply with CBIC's new rule, which mandates HSN codes/SAC to be present in your transactions for them to be tax-compliant. You can now add HSN codes/SAC to your Plans and Addons in bulk, and Zoho Subscriptions will automatically apply them to existing transactions as well. You can start this process from the banner message in your Dashboard.

Developer Space

We've added a new module called the Developer Space in Settings. For now, this module contains the API Usage dashboard, which allows you to track your consumption of Zoho Subscriptions' APIs. There's also an option to view only the API calls which still use Authtokens – this can help you when you're migrating to OAuth. We'll be adding more features to the Developer Space in the future, so keep an eye out. Learn more.

SMS DLT Registration and Custom Templates (India Edition)

Zoho Subscriptions supports DLT registration, which is mandatory for businesses that send SMS notifications to their customers. This also paves the way towards custom SMS templates, which support placeholders for dynamic content. Learn more.

Advanced Analytics within Reports

If you've integrated your organization with Zoho Analytics, you can view Dashboards from Zoho Analytics within the Reports module of Zoho Subscriptions, making it easier to access any custom reports that you may have created in Zoho Analytics. Learn more.
