Service Changes​

Credit card invoices now comply with the Invoice System​

This change applies to customers who pay our company by credit card in Japan.

Japan is implementing a Qualified Invoice System for the Japanese consumption tax (JCT) on October 1, 2023, and DeployGate has started to issue qualified invoices. As of September 1, customers who use credit cards to pay our company in Japan are subject to this change. Please review your invoice dated September 1 or later to see if you are affected.

We are currently working on issuing qualified invoices for our Invoiced Billing customers. Thank you for your patience.

Please visit the National Tax Agency website at https://www.nta.go.jp/taxes/shiraberu/zeimokubetsu/shohi/keigenzeiritsu/invoice_about.htm (Japanese only) for details about the Invoice System. Please visit their English webpage at https://www.nta.go.jp/english/index.htm for updates. In the meantime, you can view their guide at https://www.nta.go.jp/english/taxes/consumption_tax/pdf/2022/general_17.pdf.

If you have questions or concerns about our company’s compliance, please contact us.

Invoice timeline changes​

This change applies to Invoiced Billing customers.

We have improved our internal invoicing processes and can now more flexibly accommodate contract start dates and plan changes. As such, we changed the invoice issuance time frame, and we now email invoices after a contract starts and your service begins.

Web Client Changes​

Adding Workspace members now requires email addresses​

This change applies to Enterprise Plan and Flexible Plan customers only.

All other customers can continue to use usernames for invitations.

With this change, Workspace user invitations now require the email addresses of invitation recipients. Please note that this is a security measure to prevent unwanted or unintentional invitations arising from entering the wrong username due to typos or other errors.

Please visit https://docs.deploygate.com/docs/administrator-guide/member/ep-add-member/ for details on how to add and invite users.

Fixed tester onboarding process on Google Play​

This fix affects all customers on all plans.

We fixed an issue in which users with tester privileges were unable to install an app after scanning the app’s QR code and installing the DeployGate app.

Please visit https://docs.deploygate.com/docs/tester-guide/install-app-from-link/#android-devices for details on how to set up a tester on an Android device.

Web API Changes​

Adding Workspace members now requires email addresses​

This change applies to Enterprise and Flexible Plan customers only.

All other customers can continue to use usernames for invitations.

To coincide with the Web Client changes regarding Workspace user invitations (see above), Web API invitations now also require the email addresses of invitation recipients. Once again, please note that this is a security measure to prevent unwanted or unintentional invitations arising from entering the wrong username due to typos or other errors.

Please visit https://docs.deploygate.com/docs/api/enterprise/enterprises-users-create/ for details on using the DeployGate API Endpoint to add members to a Workspace.
