Payment Re-sync and Auto-recovery Improvement

Occasionally, an online payment may show as “failed” or “abandoned” in your backoffice even though the customer actually paid — this can happen due to a network drop during checkout, delayed UPI confirmations, or gateway processing delays.

Automatic recovery (Razorpay): The system now automatically detects when Razorpay confirms a successful capture for a payment that was earlier marked as failed or abandoned, and recovers it — no action needed from you.
Re-sync with payment gateway: A new button on the payment details screen lets you check the actual status with your gateway and update the record in one click. Currently available for Razorpay.
Mark as successful: For online payments on gateways where re-sync isn’t yet available, you can manually mark a payment as successful after verifying it with your gateway.

Comprehensive Favicon Support Improvement

Favicons — the small icons that appear in browser tabs, bookmarks, and Google Search results — now work reliably across all devices. Previously, uploaded favicons didn’t always display correctly due to missing sizes and format issues.

Now, when you upload a favicon in Website > General, the platform automatically generates all required sizes — for browser tabs (32×32), Google Search results (48×48), and mobile home screen icons (192×192). Your icon will also appear when visitors save your site to their phone’s home screen.

Smart size handling: If your uploaded image is smaller than a required size, that size is skipped automatically — no blurry, upscaled icons.
Upload guidance: The admin UI now warns you if your image is too small or not square, so you know exactly what to fix.

For best results, upload a square PNG at least 192×192 pixels.
