Q2 2021 Platform Updates and Enhancements

As always, we've been hard at work updating and enhancing our Payments Enablement Platform. During the past quarter, we released many notable items that we wanted to review and share.

Level III

• The new Automatic Level III feature (available on the Merchant Settings page) allows merchants using the Enhanced Data service to add Level III data to all of their card-not-present transactions automatically. Just set it and forget it! It’s particularly useful for merchants using something like a shopping cart that doesn’t support Level III data. Now they can just set the default fields they'd like and get the benefits of Level III even if their software or plugin provider doesn’t support it.
• In addition to Merchants adding Level III data, Partners can also configure the feature so that Level III auto-fills for all of their merchants.
• Added support for saving Level III data to recurring subscriptions. This will potentially allow merchants using the Level III service to save processing fees on more transaction types.

Merchant Portal

• Added the ability to load Collect Checkout inside an iframe, allowing merchants to embed the Collect Checkout payment form inside their website.
• Collect Checkout now supports 3D-Secure transactions for merchants using the Payer Authentication 2.0 service, offering more secure transactions through the hosted checkout page. 3D Secure will be on by default for those with the service enabled for all new Checkout buttons created in the button generator.
• Merchants may now enter customer address information (address, city, state, ZIP/postal code, and country) when processing via SwIPe Software. This could help some merchants get better rates when keying in transactions, as well as increase how much customer data they can retain in their gateway reporting.

Partner Portal

• Background reporting has been upgraded for the new affiliate control panel to allow instant access to any report you've run in the past week right from the home page. We will still email you when your report is ready, but this will be more convenient if you are still in the portal when the report is done.
• New video tutorials have been added to the affiliate control panel. These can be found under the "Help" section of the main menu.

Processors

• Payvision Processor: Added 3DSv2 Support to the processor. Merchants sending 3D Secure data through their own integration or via the Payer Authentication V2 service will be able to make use of V2 behaviors and variables. Mastercard and Visa cards are supported.
• Nuvei and Transact Pro Processors: Updated to support Credential on File functionality for the Recurring module, APIs, and Batch Upload. This enables merchants to maintain compliance with regards to card brand regulations surrounding CoF/card storage requirements.
