Added a data visualization view, which appears on the Payment Service Home, for the Order payment status report.
Previously, the PayPal PayLater button did not appear in checkout for UK merchants. That issue is resolved.
Report data visualization views are now appearing on Payment Services Home when Payment Services is disabled.
