Implementation Notes

  • In order to take advantage of these features you need to be on KUBRA EZ-PAY v5.
  • As this is a common single instance platform, most of the noted features do not require an implementation or any testing. The deployment of these features are instantaneous with that of the platform upgrade release, which means the new capability is automatically activated and will be available on June 8 when the platform upgrade goes into effect.  
  • For certain features that require advanced configuration or additional work from KUBRA (API’s, Donation Support), we will discuss implementation options and scheduling.  Advanced configurable features are noted in the release notes.
