Release notes: POS v3.0.17.2

18 September 2026

This is a small maintenance release for POS, with three fixes to checkout. Two of them relate to Gift Aid: Gift Aid consent now follows the selected customer when the customer on an order is changed, and the contact details screen now appears for Gift Aid on ancillary items. The third fix concerns the in-progress screen when a customer is saved from the basket. There are no database migrations in this release.

Gift Aid consent follows the customer when the customer is changed

Jira: EXN-318

Issue

When Gift Aid consent had been applied automatically for one customer and the operator then changed the order to a different customer, the original customer's Gift Aid consent could remain on the order.

Fix

When the customer on an order changes, POS now removes any Gift Aid consent that was applied automatically for the previous customer, together with the billing address that was filled in with it. If the new customer has stored Gift Aid consent and complete billing details, their consent and address are applied instead. If not, the operator is asked at the Gift Aid step as usual. A customer with incomplete billing details does not receive automatic consent. Gift Aid answers and donation preferences entered by the operator are kept. This applies whether the customer is changed by selecting a different customer or trade partner, or by linking or unlinking a customer account.

Testing

1. Select a customer who has stored Gift Aid consent and a complete billing address, and confirm that Gift Aid is applied automatically.

2. Change the order to a customer without stored Gift Aid consent and open the Gift Aid step.

3. Check that the previous customer's consent and billing address have been removed and that you are asked for the new customer's Gift Aid answer.

4. Start again with automatically applied consent, then change to a different customer who also has stored consent and complete billing details.

5. Open the Gift Aid step and check that the new customer's consent and billing address are applied.

6. Enter a Gift Aid answer or donation preference yourself, change the customer, and check that your entries are kept.

Contact details screen shown for Gift Aid on ancillary items

Jira: EXN-313

Issue

When Gift Aid applied to ancillary items in the basket, the contact details screen was not shown.

Fix

POS now shows the contact details screen when Gift Aid applies to ancillary items.

Testing

Suggested: Add an ancillary item that is eligible for Gift Aid to the basket.

Suggested: Proceed through checkout and choose to apply Gift Aid.

Suggested: Check that the contact details screen is shown so the customer's details can be captured.

In-progress screen when saving a customer from the basket

Jira: none

Issue

When a customer was saved from the basket, the in-progress screen did not behave as expected.

Fix

Saving a customer from the basket now shows the in-progress screen correctly.

Testing

Suggested: Add an item to the basket and open the option to add or edit the customer.

Suggested: Enter the customer's details and save them.

Suggested: Check that the in-progress screen appears while the customer is saved and closes once saving is complete, returning you to the basket.
