Invoice Ninja patches Square SCA, improves ACH handling, and extends bulk actions across all entities

invoicingpayment-gatewayssca-complianceself-hostedfinance
◆Current state
Invoice Ninja is in active maintenance mode across its v5.13.x branch: payment gateway reliability (Square, PayPal, ACH) is getting sustained attention, with Strong Customer Authentication edge cases and token storage for offline payments being addressed. Bulk actions now span all entity types, and webhooks have moved back to queues with improved logging — signs of a maturing multi-tenant deployment model.
◆Where it's heading
The product is solidifying its payment gateway layer rather than adding new gateway categories. The addition of inline images for PDF generation, JSON design previews, and configurable document visibility suggest steady UX refinement in the invoicing and document workflow. No architectural pivots visible — this is a product in reliable incremental improvement mode.
◆Prediction
The current trajectory points toward continued payment reliability work, particularly around SCA compliance, as European payment regulations tighten. Bulk action expansion may extend to custom entity types in future releases.
