It is now possible to use negative amounts for order items of type "GIFTCARD". These items function as a voucher / deduction. Please refer to the Klarna documentation for more info.
Conditional 3DS behavior for Saferpay Secure PayGate
The optional setting "Condition" for 3-D Secure 2.0 authorizations was added to the creation of Single-Use Payment Links either via the Backoffice or directly via the Management API.
This setting is used to control, whether or not, transactions without liability shift should be accepted. By setting this option you can make it easier to prevent losses from fraudulent transactions by moving the liability to the issuing bank. If the liability shift was declined the transaction is not processed, further reducing the risk of covering losses.
The default value is "NONE" and results in no change of behavior.
Existing links are using this default.

In China, Alipay+ is one of the leading mobile payment solutions. Together with its local e-wallet partners in Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, Alipay has more than 1.2 billion users. Accepting a variety of wallets means merchants across Europe will see increased customer numbers and revenue from tourists from Asia.
Universal card entry form
A new entry form was added which can handle debit and credit cards. By using this form a customer can directly enter his credit card information and does not need to click on the brand first. Also the value "Card" was added to the API, which gives the merchant the possibility to select all cards with a single value.
On newly created Saferpay accounts the Universal card entry form is active by default. For existing Saferpay accounts created before the release of API spec version 1.35, this feature must be activated manually.
Define time settings for expiration date of the payment links
The validity of Saferpay Secure PayGate links can now be additionally set in hours instead of only choosing the date. Backoffice users now can use a datetime picker to set the expiration date.

Apple Pay enhancements
Added support for Apple Pay aliases - see Alias/InsertDirect for details.
Furthermore, we have added support for multiple certificates in the Server2Server integration to ensure interruption free processing of Apple Pay transactions during a certificate change.
The certificates are shown in the Apple Pay configuration pop-up of the terminal settings.

Added support for Google Pay aliases - see Alias/InsertDirect for details.

Fraud Intelligence Device Fingerprinting
A new Device Fingerprinting functionality allows even more accurate fraud checks as we can now detect if the user device has been used before.
Customers who want to profit from this new feature need to embed a JavaScript snippet in their checkout page and send us additional device data via API.
See the DeviceFingerprint parameter of the RiskFactors container in all relevant requests:
Dynamic Currency Conversion improvements
For added clarity, we have improved the way how Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) details like exchange rate and markup are shown on the Payment Page and in the payer confirmation email.
Furthermore, markup and exchange rate have been added to the Dcc container in all relevant responses:
Legacy Internet Explorer not anymore supported
Internet Explorer version 11 and older will no longer be supported in the Saferpay Backoffice.

Release 2022-01
Payment API
Improved amount entry experience for Secure PayGate Multi-Use Payment Links
After launching the Multi-Use Payment Links functionality in November 2021 we collected feedback from pilot merchants to find out how they are using them and how we could adapt the solution give them an even better experience.
In this release Saferpay improved the amount entry on the first page of the Multi-Use Payment Link flow so that it respects the user's language, location and their device.
Klarna Payments now available for Secure PayGate links via Management API
Klarna is getting more popular among our merchants and their payers so Saferpay enabled Secure PayGate (SPG) links to get paid with Klarna Payments (Pay Now, Pay Later and Financing).
As Klarna requires merchants to send details about the cart items that are sold, Saferpay now accepts these information when merchants create their SPG payment links using the Management API. See the API specification for version 1.26 for details. When providing the cart item details, Klarna Payments become available as a payment method in the Payment Page.
In order to benefit from Klarna Payments, merchants can activate the acceptance of Klarna Payments on their SPG terminals in the Saferpay Backoffice.
Better control over shipping address collection behavior
A new parameter called AddressSource was added to the Payment API, which makes it easier for merchants to control whether the delivery address details should be collected from the selected payment method (if applicable forms exist for this payment method) or from the Saferpay Payment Page.
This is in particular useful for merchants who want to benefit from the PayPal Seller Protection program.
Adaptable wording of the payment process
Saferpay aims at making payments as easy to integrate and consistent as possible and embraces every merchant's business. In some cases the so far used terminology ("payment") to describe the process does not match very well with what the merchant is offering to the consumer.
Therefore the Payment Page Configuration was extended to allow merchants to define the appropriate wording for the payment process. This supplements the existing configuration for the labeling of the pay button.
Support for card verifications with plain text card numbers
Card verifications are particularly useful to check whether an entered card number exists and give merchants the opportunity to let consumers authenticate the registration of cards in a PSD2 compliant way.
For merchants who operate in a PCI DSS Level 1 environment, ie. they are allowed to process plain text card numbers, the Saferpay Payment API was extended to accept plain text card details when initiating a card registration flow by calling the Alias/Insert method.
Eligibility for PayPal Seller Protection program
Merchants who offer PayPal as a payment method may want to benefit from the PayPal Seller Protection program which protects merchants from fraudsters. Saferpay now returns whether a PayPal transaction is eligible for the PayPal Seller Protection program in the Payment API parameter SellerProtectionStatus.
The information is also shown on the transaction details page in the Saferpay Backoffice.
Further enhancements
Poland is now supported as a consumer country when paying with Klarna. The issuer reference (sometimes referred to as "transaction stamp") is now also returned in Alias/AssertInsert responses if applicable.
Release 2021-11
JSON API
Google Pay in the Saferpay Payment Page
Saferpay e-commerce merchants can now offer Google Pay in their online shops by activating it by themselves in the Saferpay Backoffice.
Automatic self-onboarding in the Saferpay Backoffice (free of charge)
No additional contract with Saferpay or Google needed
Self-onboarding for custom Apple Pay button integrations
Merchants who want to use custom Apple Pay button integrations, can now activate this feature in the Saferpay Backoffice (see the "Apple Pay > Business" section in the terminal configuration).
The onboarding procedure guides the merchant through the process of creating the necessary cryptographic certificate.
Multi-Use Payment Links
Secure PayGate can now generate QR code links which can be used for multiple payments.
The QR code can be printed out and used on site or used online on websites or in emails. The link of the QR code leads to a form where the payer can enter the amount to be paid and optional the email address for the payment receipt. Upon successful payment the merchant receives a confirmation email.
Use cases for multi-use payment links include:
Markets stalls & retail stores without terminals
Unattended self-service shops (honesty box)
Street food restaurants and catering
On-site or online donations
Club & community fee collection
Multi-Use Payment Links are available for all merchants who have Secure PayGate enabled.
User Administration Self-Service
In our ongoing efforts of reducing friction for merchants to set up their ideal payment environment we release the first version of a new way of managing users and their permissions on their own. This increases the overall security of the merchant's account as staff changes are reflected easier and quicker.
One core element of this new feature set is that users can login with their email address and do no longer need to remember their login ID. In future releases many new features around users, permissions and login experience will become available, e.g. two-factor authentication and multi-customer access. Stay tuned!
With this release we start a pilot phase where selected merchants can benefit from creating and managing users and their permissions within the Saferpay Backoffice.
Want to participate in the pilot phase? Feel free to contact your account manager.
Retrieve logo URLs of available Payment Methods
The Management API TerminalInfo/PaymentMethods has been extended to return also a LogoUrl for each payment method available on the specified terminal.
Prevent API-refunds exceeding captured amount
From JSON API 1.25 onwards the Transaction/Refund method has an additional field RestrictRefundAmountToCapturedAmount which can be set if refunds via API should be rejected if they exceed the captured amount. Unless the merchant chooses to set RestrictRefundAmountToCapturedAmount to true, the behavior remains as in previous JSON API versions.

The exemptions are then automatically requested if applicable for the current transaction and all other specified conditions are met.
Transactions checked by Fraud Intelligence now also show the calculated risk score and Fraud Intelligence Insights in the Backoffice transaction detail views.
Additional Risk Management details
A new BlockReason field is added to JSON API responses if the transaction was blocked by the Saferpay Risk Management. The BlockReason tells whether the transaction was blocked due to IP address, IP location, issuer country or card blacklist entries.
Exemption details shown in Backoffice
The transaction details in the Transaction Journal and Declined Journal now show if a Transaction Risk Analysis (TRA) or Low Value Payment (LVP) exemption was requested.
Payment initiator for direct authorizations
A new Initiator field in Transaction/AuthorizeDirect requests can be used to indicate whether the transaction was initiated by the merchant (default) or by the payer.
Issuer reference for SAQ-A EP certified merchants
The response of every successful authorization now contains an IssuerReference with a TransactionStamp and in case of a Mastercard transaction, a SettlementDate. The TransactionStamp and SettlementDate can be used to reference the authorization even if it was made by a business partner or via another PSP.
To reference an existing authorization, the IssuerReference can be passed on in Transaction/AuthorizeDirect requests.

3-D Secure 2.2
Saferpay upgraded to the latest 3-D Secure version 2.2 for Visa Secure, Mastercard ID Check and American Express Safekey.
Soft Decline Handling
With the beginning of 2021, important PSD2 deadlines became active, forcing issuers to respond with a so called Soft Decline to certain not fully authenticated authorizations.
It is highly recommended for every merchant in PSD2 scope to implement proper handling of Soft Declines.
In case of a Soft Decline, the merchant needs to contact the payer so he can initiate another authorization with SCA. In case of Recurring Payments, a new initial transaction has to be made or a new Alias with SCA and a forced challenge flow need to be created.
For details on how to handle Soft Declines, please refer to the Saferpay Integration Guide.
MIT and Alias Handling
All Aliases registered after the January release will have a SCA Transaction Stamp which is sent in subsequent transactions using this Alias. This means that newly registered Aliases might have a better approval rate compared to the old ones which don't have a SCA Transaction Stamp.
Klarna Payments: Support for multi-part capture and refunds
Multi-part captures and refunds are now available for Klarna Payments through the API and the Saferpay Backoffice. This allows you to partially capture an order to send and bill it in separate parts.
