Adjustments to business process

31.08.2023

Invoice payment transactions with demo were accepted without confirmation, this is now fixed.

31.07.2023


Integration of a new payment acquirer for GooglePay and ApplePay.



27.07.2023


The property payment_context.merchant_initiated in the Smart Transactions object needs to be enabled in the contract.



26.07.2023


New property invoice_reference for the endpoint POST Payment/Contracts/.../requestId



13.07.2023


New method POST Smart/Transactions/STX_.../start/cashless_direct to be able to create POS payment transactions without smartZVT.



13.07.2023


Customer data from PayPal is fetched and the payment customer is created and added to smart transaction after successful authorisation (/prepare call). This allows to show a summary before final confirmation by the buyer.



05.07.2023


API adjustments for managing (external) SEPA mandates.

New endpoints GET/POST Payment/Mandates.


29.06.2023


Improvements for TWINT: If the payer opens the redirect URL a second time, they are redirected to the given success or failure page, depending on the status of the TWINT transaction. Before, the payer was always redirected to the failure page.



28.06.2023


API adjustments for a new self on-boarding process of merchants by broker.

  • New endpoint GET General/Merchants/me/Merchantcategories

  • New properties for the endpoint POST Payment/Contracts/.../requestId

    • merchant_category

    • tid

    • notes

    • account_statement_text

  • New field description in GET General/Contracts endpoint.


28.06.2023


The endpoints of Smart/Transactions validate the parameter is_demo more strictly.

Sending this parameter as string is no longer allowed. Only boolean is accepted.


28.06.2023


The endpoint Smart/Transactions/STX_.../prepare and Smart/Transactions/STX_.../start validate if all sub-contracts have the payment product enabled.

If you are using mixed baskets you could get an error if the sub-contract does not allow this payment method.


26.06.2023


The property application_context.language of the Smart/Transactions endpoint will be transmitted to PayPal and Sofort.

It's also possible to transmit "de_DE", "de-DE" or "de". So you can use the language of your application directly.


24.05.2023


The Smart/Transaction endpoint uses the PayPal intent AUTHORIZE if the property payment_context.auto_capture is set to false.



This allows to capture the payment up to 29 days, instead of 3 hours after the confirmation.

Please note that we are not doing a re-authorize on PayPal. A fter the three-day honor period, the original authorized payment expires and a capture could fail.

19.05.2023


Internal update of the TWINT integration.

The property iframe_url of the endpoint POST Payment/Transactions contains the direct URL to Saferpay/TWINT.


The process for the payer is now faster and there are less redirects in the browser.

15.05.2023


The parent element/object is included on each merchant element in the API response.




26.04.2023

08.02.2023


In order to solve the inaccurate purpose of the amount parameter in the endpoint POST Payment/Transactions/{paymentTransactionId}/cancel this parameter is marked as deprecated. Please use the new reduce_amount_by parameter instead.

Use the new parameter reduce_amount_by, which will deduct the payment by this value.

An empty value will (still) cancel/refund the complete transaction.
