# Platform release notes 22-07-2026

## Payment Links

### Clearer Paylink sent confirmations

Paylink confirmations now clearly show the email address and mobile number used to send the link. International mobile numbers are also formatted more reliably.

### Prevent reminders being resent for completed links

The resend option is no longer available for Payment Links that are already paid, cancelled or expired.

### Reliable status updates after payment retries

When a failed card payment is retried successfully, the Payment Link now updates to the correct paid or scheduled status. Payment status notifications are also delivered more reliably.

### More reliable Direct Debit Payment Links

Direct Debit Payment Links now show clearer payment statuses throughout the payment journey. Completed payments and notifications are also reconciled more reliably.

### Clearer reminder validation

Payment Links with reminders enabled now require a valid email address or mobile number before they can be created.

## Receipts and Currency

### Fuller receipt emails on mobile

Receipt emails are now less likely to be clipped by Gmail and other mobile email apps. Currency amounts also display more consistently.

### Clearer dollar currency labels

Virtual Terminal currency options now make Canadian, Australian and US dollars easier to distinguish.

## Card-Present Transactions

### Partial refunds shown in transaction history

Card-present transaction lists now show partial refund amounts beneath the original payment.

### Merchant references displayed

Card-present transaction details now show the merchant reference, making payments easier to reconcile.

## Payment Reliability

### Improved 3D Secure recovery

Payments returning from 3D Secure verification are now less likely to fail with an incorrect session-token error when a bank responds immediately.

## Support and Administration

### More reliable Support Centre tickets

Support Centre ticket forms now work correctly when merchant or terminal names contain special characters such as apostrophes or parentheses.

### Improved merchant deactivation

Merchant deactivation confirmations now prevent duplicate requests and clear previously selected details when closed.

## Platform Reliability

### More reliable contact syncing

Contact syncing now better prevents duplicate contacts and repeated welcome or onboarding emails when a sync is retried or temporarily interrupted.
