Release 1.30

We are excited to announce significant enhancements made by our development team in this Release, including several beneficial APIs for partner stakeholders. Thank you for being a valued BlockChyp® customer.

Enhancements

Retrieve Pricing Policy

This API returns the current pricing policy for a merchant and is valid for partner-scoped API credentials. Merchant ID is a required parameter and returns the currently in-force pricing policy for a merchant by default. Each pricing level returns three values: buyRate (contract minimum), current (actual price merchant pays), and limit (contract maximum).

Partner Residual Statement

This API returns a list of partner residual statements, and all statements are returned with the most recent statement listed first by default. Optional date parameters can filter statements to a specific date range. The list of statements returns basic information like volume, transaction count, and commissions earned.

Partner Statement Detail

This API returns detailed information about a specific partner statement, with aggregate data returned along with line item level data for each underlying merchant statement. To get the merchant statement and the card brand fee cost breakdown, use the merchant invoice id with the Merchant Statement Detail API and the Partner Commission Breakdown API, respectively.

Merchant Invoices

This API returns a list of partner residual statements, with the most recent statement listed first by default. Use the optional date parameters of startDate and endDate to filter statements to a specific date range. The list returns basic information about statements such as volume, transaction count, and commissions earned. To pull the full details, use the id returned with each statement summary with the Partner Statement Detail API.

Merchant Invoice Detail

This API returns detailed information about a specific merchant statement or invoice. All line items are returned showing the nested line item structure of the invoice, including details about payments posted against the invoice. If the invoice is a merchant statement, details about every merchant deposit that occurred during the statement period are also returned.

Partner Commission Breakdown

This API allows partners to pull down the low-level data used to compute a partner commission for a specific merchant statement. The statementID is required and must be the id of a valid merchant invoice of type statement.

Payment Links

An enhancement has been introduced to our Payments Links system, empowering users with the capability to automatically re-send invoices that are outstanding. This enhancement will streamline the payment process and enhance operational efficiency.

Merchant Dashboard

The Batch Detail Report has been enhanced and now includes a column for the Requested Amount for any pre-authorizations that were captured for a different amount.

This new “Requested Amount” column will provide better data analysis in the Batch Detail Report.
