  * **Pay Now:** Payment via online payment methods (e.g., credit/debit card, bank transfer).
* **Custom Field for Private PKI Certificates:** Users can create custom fields that will appear on certificates, providing flexibility for private public key infrastructure (PKI) certificates.
* **Billing & Invoicing:** Accounts that previously used "On-Top up" billing are now switched to On-utilization billing. Invoices will now be generated for each certificate order.
* **emSign Retail Platform Module:**

    * **Summary:** A summary of the emSign platform account or order details.
