Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems, in a place that perhaps you have seen in your dreams. In the October Release notes that you’re about to be told, new features took place in a payments world of old. 🎃

October brings new capabilities for Checkout customisation, payment processing, Provider account management, and data exports. This month, we introduced more flexible Payment method discovery, improved Open Banking experiences, expanded Webhook configuration, and additional controls for payment integrations.

✔︎ October, 2026

New Features

◦ Configurable Checkout search display

You can now customise how Payment method search appears in Checkout using the new Search display setting in the Checkout editor. Choose between a collapsed Search button and an always-visible search field to provide a more convenient Payment method selection experience.

◦ Recent Payment methods at Checkout

Checkout now displays up to three recently used Payment methods for returning Customers, helping them find familiar payment options more quickly. Recent methods are managed separately from Saved methods and display Payment method information without exposing previously used payment details.

◦ Provider account balance synchronization

You can now enable automatic Balance sync for Provider accounts that support balance retrieval through an API. Choose a synchronisation interval of 1, 15, 30, or 60 minutes to keep balance information updated according to your operational needs.

◦ Webhook Data profiles

You can now configure Webhooks in Dashboard using entity-based subscriptions, Event triggers, and Data profiles. This functionality gives you more control over which processing Events initiate Webhook delivery and what information is included in the Webhook payload.

◦ Payment and Payout Commits Export for MP

Merchant portal now supports exporting Payment Commits and Payout Commits for reporting and external analysis. These additional export options extend the available transaction data and simplify reconciliation and operational reporting.

Major Improvements

◦ Payment Request Return URL configuration

The Payment Request API now supports individual return URLs through checkout_options.return_options. You can specify default, success, failure, and pending return URLs for a particular payment request, overriding the corresponding Checkout configuration without modifying the published revision.

◦ Automatic Payment Commit creation

The Payment Request API now supports the auto_commit option, allowing the system to create a Payment Commit automatically when the payment method is identified and all required information is available. The Paycore integration also supports configurable auto_commit and commits_limit options for SEPA Instant payment routes.

◦ Enhanced Open Banking loading experience

Checkout now displays a loading indicator while retrieving bank branch information during IBAN-based Payment method selection. This improvement provides clearer visual feedback and reduces uncertainty when branch identification takes additional time.

◦ Salt Edge Integration enhancements

The Salt Edge integration now supports additional Provider options aligned with the previous platform version, providing more flexibility in Open Banking configuration. The update also improves Customer data transmission and Payment Request parameters for more consistent payment processing.

◦ Improved Payment Request navigation

The Payment Request Overview now presents related processing entities in a clearer sequence: Request > Commit > Transaction > Refund. Updated status indicators and contextual information make it easier to navigate the payment lifecycle and review individual processing stages.

◦ Improved Payment Method management

The Payment scheme interface now includes an improved dialog for adding Payment and Payout methods. The updated layout supports larger Method lists, provides more convenient selection controls, and improves the display of long Payment method names.

◦ Merchant Portal Export preview

The Merchant portal now supports the Preview functionality for data exports. You can review export results before using the generated data, making it easier to verify the information you need.

◦ WooCommerce Integration Configuration

The WooCommerce plugin now organises configuration fields according to the selected environment, making test and live settings easier to distinguish. An additional option allows you to display all available fields when you need access to the complete configuration.

◦ Checkout interface and localisation improvements

Checkout now uses more consistent error messages across different payment methods, preventing card-specific descriptions from appearing in unrelated payment flows. The update also includes optimised Provider images and an updated Checkout emulator favicon for a more consistent interface.

◦ SEPA Instant payment context

The Corefy integration now includes the sepa_instant network context when creating Payment Requests originating from the sepa_instant_eur service. This ensures that the required network information is passed to the corresponding payment processing flow.
