New feature
Credit transactions now supported via API
You can now create credit payments via the paylink API. These are standalone payments not tied to a previous transaction or card.
This feature is only available on request due to the associated risks. Contact support@blinkpayment.co.uk to enable.
Once activated, credit payments are available in the platform on the Virtual Terminal, paylinks and on MOTO and Paylink API.
Updates
Paylink declines now respect redirect_url
When a paylink payment is declined, users will now be redirected to the specified redirect_url just like successful payments instead of being returned to the paylink form. This applies only when the paylink was created via the API and includes a redirect_url.
AVS/CV2 decline messages now show specific reasons
Declines for AVS/CV2 mismatches now return detailed reasons based on the avscv2ResponseCode field, such as “CV2 not matched” or “Postcode partially matched”, where available.
Bug fixes
Repeat payments no longer return card number errors
Creating a schedule from an existing transaction works correctly without returning “Missing Cardnumber”.
Resolved script conflicts with Apple/Google Pay
Apple or Google Pay scripts were conflicting with other scripts on the page, affecting integration stability.
