<!-- ============================= SAME for both Regular and Multi Pages for a client -> can copy paste ================================ -->


<!-- 
  Oct 6, 2025:
    v8.1.7.1 - fixing some mobile UI issues
    - fixed the UI issue where 'locate by account' was going off the page, requiring a side scroll
    - fixed the UI issue where billing first name and billing last name were getting squished
      - now they'll each be on their own line < 480px

  Oct 5, 2025:
    v8.1.7 - Recurring Billing
    - updated interface #1 (savePaymentDetails) to give it very specific functionality. $scheduleFequency and $enableSchedule now have no affect
    - added new icons for all sections (we're using font-awesome icons now, not images)
    - added new recurring/membership/subscription section
    - enabled use of sandbox for testing - big time saver and actually the correct way to test APIs
    - added a recurring debug menu - this proved MEGA useful during coding and debugging
    - added two new functions to handle interfaces #2 (PHP recurring variables) and #3 (recurring variables set via URL Params)
      - handleRecurringPreset()
      - handleRecurringUrlParams()
    - added todayOverride which is VITAL for testing recurring payments

  Aug 5, 2025:
    v8.1.6
    - separated customer lookup/de-duplication into it's OWN section called Customer Account/Profile
      - made the customer name lookup MUCH more user friendly and straighforward by giving it very clear success and error messages
    - changed the mechanism by which lookup is triggered, from blur to a deliberate click - this is a better UX for the user
    - updated customer HTML generation to use `` vs the old style
    - several other minor tweaks/enhancements to the customer name lookup
    - added a new custom section: $customSectionAboveCustomerProfile
    - added error cases for the customerID lookup logic - to handle invalid values such as (-1, 0, words, etc)
    - updated all 'autoFill' logic to replace $("[name='UMbilllname']").blur(); with a click to the 'lookup my account' button

    v8.1.5
    - added the lookupByID feature, and updated the lookupByName logic to work with the lookupById (when it's enabled)

  July 9, 2025:
    v8.1.4
    - re-enabled debit card payment option
      - cleaned up code to remove some old commented out code
      - separated out the card iframe into it's own container so it can be shared by CC and Debit (since PayJS doesn't allow multiple instances of those fields)
      - credit-ctr now only contains the processingFeeCtr
      - emptied-out debit-ctr (all it had before were the fields, but we're not sharing these with the CC fields).
      - added code to handle selecting debit as the initial payment method - will need to test
      - removed all the commented out cc, debit and ach validation code what was inside allGood()
      - updated the debit code within calcAmount to make it consistent with cc and echeck.  The logic is exactly the same as before
      - setting UMcustom6 to 'credit card | ach/check | debit | apple pay' so that I have an easy way in ePay to differentiate between credit card and debit purchases

  Apr 8, 2025:
    v8.1.3
    - solved the java.lang.string = "" issue 
      - it was being caused by the customer selection HEADER (which should NOT be clickable), setting the customerId = undefined
        when it was being clicked.  And somehow, customers were clicking this accidentally 
    - we can now pass in ?dontSelectCustomer=true and it won't automatically select the customer
      (which passing in testing=local does because it calls autoFillAndAutoCheck)
      -> so in autoFillAndAutoCheck, I now look for this variable and if it's there i don't select the customer
      -> makes testing regarding customer selection stuff easier

  Apr 2, 2025:
    v8.1.2
    - added function to inform Ops of big ticket decline (txn >= 20k)
    - added function to inform me if an error/exception occurs
    - updated send_email to take in an optional recipients array param - allowing me to specify recipients for each send_email call
    - I did NOT add automated tests for these - will do later.  I just manually tested both functions

  Apr 1, 2025:
    v8.1.1 
    - added $customValidationLogic php block so that we can insert custom validation logic
    - added $customSectionAfterOrderSummary, so I can add custom HTML after the 'Order Summary' section

  Feb 18, 2025 update:
    Added COMPREHENSIVE tiered surcharging, with full automated tests.
    
  Oct 23, 2024 update:
    Disabling debit card payments option for now, until upgraded to epay-server-side
    the code that was commented out is annotated with [disabling-debit]

  Oct 24, 2024 update:
    Apple pay disabled until it's upgraded to epay-server-side
    the code that was commented out is annotated with [disabling-apple-pay]

  Feb 10, 2023 update: This template includes all the updates, as part of Re-arch Update 1, handling EdgeCase 2

      /* Apple Pay Automated Tests - need to create a custom suite because Cypress doesn't support webkit fully enough where Apple pay displays
        and therefore we cannot write cypress tests to test apple pay stuff.
      
        Test cases:
        - Apple pay should only be active if BOTH $apiKey and $applePayPublicKey are set and not ""
          -> this one i've tested manually since it's easy.

        - Provided that is the case

          apple pay displays
          - The apple pay payment option should be visible - Done
          - the apple pay submit button should not be visible - Done

          selecting apple pay works
          - it hides cc-ctr and check-ctr - Done
          - it hides the regular submit button - Done
          - it shows the apple pay submit button - Done

          clicking apple pay submit works
          - it doesn't submit form if required fields are not filled out - Done
          - it DOES submit the form if all the required fields are filled in 
            - left for now since it throws an error, and intercepting console.error isnt working
            -> DO MANUALLY, as Final Q/A check

        so if we call calcAmount in the initial payment method setting code, the amount wouldn't be set yet
        so it won't work.
        At the same time we DO need to call calcAmount each time the payment method changes, so i'm keeping the

          -> and decides whether to show or hide the 'note', informing the user that the start date is different (capped) than the one they'd expect.

      <!-- had to put this div inside it's own container because
        - I didn't want to define a fixed width, since I wanted to put different text in the button
        - but removing the width makes it take up all the space (since div is a block element)
        - so by making it a flex item, it'll only take up as much space as needed by the content;
        - and the alternative, which was to make it a <button>, was, for some reason, triggering the form submission twice
        - even though I added the </form> tag above, making all these buttons OUTSIDE the form.
