New Features 🚀

  1. Mixed Cart Checkout: One-Time and Subscription Products in a Single Cart
    Checkout now supports combining both one-time payment products and subscription products in a single cart, unlocking powerful new billing use cases.
    Mixed checkout with one-time and subscription products

    ​
    What This Enables

    • Setup fees + subscriptions: Charge a one-time setup fee alongside a recurring subscription in a single checkout
    • Bundles with recurring components: Sell a product (one-time) bundled with ongoing service access (subscription)
    • Course + membership combos: Offer a course purchase with an optional community membership subscription
    • Lifetime + add-on subscriptions: Combine lifetime product access with optional recurring premium features

    ​
    How It Works

    Simply add both one-time and subscription products to your checkout session: 
    const session = await client.checkoutSessions.create({
  product_cart: [
    // One-time setup fee
    { product_id: 'prod_setup_fee', quantity: 1 },
    // Monthly subscription
    { product_id: 'prod_monthly_plan', quantity: 1 }
  ],
  customer: {
    email: '[email protected]',
    name: 'Jane Doe'
  },
  return_url: 'https://yourapp.com/success'
});
    Result: A single checkout flow that processes the one-time payment and initiates the subscription — reducing friction and increasing conversion rates.
    When mixing product types, the one-time payment is charged immediately while the subscription follows its configured billing cycle (including any trial period you’ve set).

    ​
    Portal Features

    • Cross-business visibility: View all purchases and subscriptions from any business using Dodo Payments in one place
    • Centralized subscription management: Manage subscriptions across different merchants from a single dashboard
    • Unified billing history: Access invoices and payment history from all your purchases
    • Single sign-on experience: Log in once with your email to access purchases from all Dodo Payments merchants

    ​
    How It Works

    Customers simply visit customer.dodopayments.com and enter their email address. They’ll receive a secure login link that grants access to all their purchases across the Dodo Payments ecosystem.
    The Unified Customer Portal complements business-specific customer portals. Customers can still access individual merchant portals for a branded experience, or use the unified portal for a consolidated view.
    The unified portal uses the same email-based authentication as business-specific portals, ensuring a consistent and secure experience.
  3. Invoice ID in Payment Response
    The Payment response now includes an invoice_id field, making it easier to reconcile payments with invoices and integrate with accounting systems.     
    {
  "payment_id": "pay_2IjeQm4hqU6RA4Z4kwDee",
  "status": "succeeded",
  "invoice_id": "inv_2IsUnWGtRKFLxk7xAQeyt",
  "amount": 9900,
  "currency": "USD",
  // ... other fields
}

    ​
    Use Cases

    • Accounting integration: Directly link payments to invoices in your accounting software
    • Customer support: Quickly find the invoice associated with a payment when handling support requests
    • Reconciliation: Simplify financial reconciliation by matching payments to invoices programmatically
    • Compliance: Maintain accurate records linking payments to their corresponding tax invoices
    The invoice_id field uses India-specific invoice IDs when available, ensuring compliance with local invoicing requirements.
