Mobile Browser Detection
The purpose of this project item is to provide mobile detection capabilities when keying in the store URL.
- Automatic browser detection for mobile devices
- Customers on mobile devices are served the mobile version when they key in the store URL
- Added mobile menu navigation items to view the “full site”
- Added store merge codes that can be used to return the customer to the mobile store if they navigate to the “full site”
- Product links placed on social media sites or other website standalone and when clicked will take the customer to the appropriate checkout page after detecting their device

This release item gives our merchants the ability to exclude states/provinces for shipping purposes.
- Merchants with “Ship to Countries of US or Canada” can globally remove states and provinces from the available list in the checkout
- Merchants may now also remove outlying territories globally rather than create special shipping methods
- Merchants can configure their checkout to only accept orders from the lower 48 states if desired
- You can access these settings by going to “Products” >> “Setup Shipping” page — “Setup Ship to Countries” section

The purpose of this release item is to give our merchants the ability to reset the billing cycle attempt account for recurring events.

- Start next period’s billing from the original bill date, or from the successful bill date
