PLATFORM 


What will change?

  • New BNPL Platform: Affirm In-Store
  • Mapping correction [Defect]
  • New error code [Defect]
  • CVV results not passed back to the merchant [Defect]
  • Dynamic description not being included in iDeal requests [Defect]



  • New BNPL Platform : Affirm in-store

We have been working on expanding our BNPL offering to our merchants with the addition of Affirm In-Store. Customers using Affirm can pay by scanning the QR code on the merchant point-of-sale system in a smooth and secure way.  The onboarding of Affirm in-store as a new BNPL payment gateway will allow merchants to configure and process their transactions via Affirm In-Store. 



  • Mapping correction [Defect]

A support ticket raised by one of merchants prompted us to change an error mapping to alleviate any confusion. We will change the error mapping of Login to cloudHSM failed to the more user-friendly error message of Unexpected error: if the error persists, please contact an administrator, quoting the code and timestamp of this error, with an associated status of FAILED.



  • New error code [Defect]

Our Support team flagged a query from one merchant regarding a transaction failed with Internal Error whereas the transaction had failed due to a gateway timeout. We will work on introducing a new error of Gateway Timeout when the connection between APEXX and the gateway is interrupted. This will allow the merchants to better handle failed transactions.



  • CVV results not passed back to the merchant [Defect]

Our Acquiring team will work on a defect flagged by one of our merchants regarding the CVV results not being passed back in our API responses to the merchant, even though we are getting the CVV results. 



  • Dynamic description not being included in iDeal requests [Defect]

We have worked on resolving a defect whereby the dynamic description was not being included in iDeal PPRO gateway requests due to iDeal not sending the value in the "dynamic_descriptor" field. This will be resolved by ensuring that all PPRO APMs, iDeal included, send the value in the "dynamic_descriptor" field.
