Enhancements
Update to payment link transaction view
Previously, when a payment was attempted on a payment link (whether successful or declined), the View Transaction button only showed the most recent attempt. If multiple attempts were made, earlier ones would not have been visible.
We have improved this by introducing a popup listing all attempted payments for a given payment link. Each attempt will include a "View More Details" button, allowing users to open the relevant transaction history page for a full breakdown.
This update ensures better visibility of all payment attempts, making it easier to track transaction history.
Previously, our QuickBooks integration matched customer records using case-sensitive names, leading to duplicate entries if there were any spelling variations. We’ve updated this to match customers by email instead, reducing duplication and improving accuracy.
Enhanced filtering on the Blink Card Transactions page
The Blink Page filter now correctly filters transactions using the Blink Page ID instead of the Merchant ID.
In cases where a transaction was processed on a Blink Page but under a different MID, the filter will now correctly display all relevant transactions.
A new "Processing MID" filter has been added in the Additional Filters pop-up to allow filtering by MID when needed.
Consistent design for repeat payment receipts
Repeat payment receipts have been updated to align with the UI of other transaction emails, ensuring a uniform experience.
Bug fixes
Fixed now accurate currency symbol in receipt emails
Fixed currency symbol issue in receipt emails. When rerunning non - £ transactions, the receipt email now shows the correct currency symbol.
