As part of our commitment to your success, we’re happy to announce several improvements to MC Trade to help you manage your organization more efficiently and effectively. We will roll out these changes to all customers by January 7, 2021.
Require Automatic Recurring Billing Opt-In on your Online Join Form
With the challenges of COVID-19 that your members are all facing, many of you have set up an easier payment option by allowing new members to join on a monthly basis and have their card automatically charged each month. With this release, you can now require the opt-in of Automatic Recurring Billing (ARB) for a new member as they sign up on any specific form. The new option is in Form Settings, and it will simply set that checkbox as checked and unclickable for that form. You can still edit the text on that checkbox with any wording you prefer, and it will display under the credit card payment information.

Personal Title on Profile View and Manage All Relationships
One piece of feedback we've received a lot is how hard it is to see Personal Titles throughout the browser version. We've added the Title value for a profile to the main Profile View of any profile that has one (if the Title is blank, nothing will appear here).
We've also added the Personal Title value under the name for any profile appearing in the Manage All Relationships page, if the profile does not already have a Relation Title:
This release also includes the following enhancements and fixes:
- Added Special Field selection to the HTML Templates screen, allowing you to insert a Special Field value placeholder into the message when creating/editing HTML Templates
- Adjust an Unapplied Payment on a profile in the browser (in the Transactions screen for a profile, in the Unapplied Payments tab, click "Actions" and then "Adjust" to get the prompt to adjust/refund the Unapplied Payment).
- Fixed an issue with the quantity arrows on event registration item selection above a quantity of 1

- Added Billing Description, Notes, and Yearly Amount to the Billing Edit screen in the Profile Edit page
- Added a dropdown to the "Contacted" (formerly Talked With) field in a Contact record, allowing you to choose a related profile name rather than type it in to the Contacted field
