Security Fix: Fix nonce logic when disconnecting from Stripe Connect.

Invoices

Version 1.2.0 — April 12, 2021

New: A “Generate Invoice” link is now available on the purchase confirmation page.
New: A “Print” button has been added to invoices.
Improvement: The invoice HTML and CSS has been refactored and modernized. Appearance-wise it still looks very much the same; we’ve just refactored the code.
