Setup

New

New APIs are available for Administrative divisions management and Holidays management. For a short time, there will be two Holidays services: the original one within the Orgs API only and the new one supporting holidays that are defined in conjunction with the Administrative divisions management API.

Transactions

New

The new Protection Bulletin API is now available to handle transaction authorizations when issuer is offline. The Protection Bulletin is used before a transaction takes place in cases where the issuer is temporarily offline and unable to provide an authorization. In a process known as stand-in, the card network authorizes the transaction to avoid creating problems for the cardholder and merchant. Once the issuer is back online, the card network lets them know what was authorized while they were down. Cards need to be registered with the Bulletin to get this protection. Currently, only ELO card network issuers can make use of this facility, but more card networks will be added in the future.

The new Transaction authorization when issuer is down section in the Transaction overview guide details what you can do when the issuer is down or otherwise unavailable to authorize a transaction.

Cards management

Updated

Updated

On the Reissue card endpoint, the new update_tokens boolean field is now available. Set it to true if you want the card number to be updated on the network for each token associated with it. This means that the cardholder will not need to redigitize their card into the wallets. IMPORTANT: This feature requires additional access setup. Contact your Pismo representative for details.
