Our Shopify eCommerce plug-in is now available on the Shopify app store.
This plugin enables Shopify merchants to accept open banking payments through our HPP. It also enables merchants to issue refunds directly through the admin panel in Shopify.
Installation is entirely no-code and completed within Shopify, with no need to generate keys locally.
Payout retries are now enabled for all payouts by default. This means that EU payouts are initially tried over the instant SEPA instant scheme, retried several more times after a brief delay, then ultimately retried over the more reliable but slower SEPA credit scheme.
This results in more consistent payments and a better user experience. You can also configure payout retries to suit your specific needs.

We've now released a Providers page in Console. This page contains a variety of useful information about providers such as their maturity, coverage, and supported authorisation flows.
You need to be signed into your Console account to access it.
You can now contact us to enable the optional balance_notification webhook. This webhook notifies you when your merchant account balance is approaching a specified threshold.
This can be useful if your integration makes payouts, to ensure none fail due to insufficient funds.

We introduced organisations in Console. This doesn't currently affect the user experience of administrating your apps in Console, but is an underlying logic of how apps and users relate to each other. This also introduced the concept of 'roles' within Console.
TrueLayer's payment links product is now live. You can use payment nlinks to integrate TrueLayer payments quickly, with a customisable user interface based on the hosted payments page.
Payment links are useful for a variety of use cases and generate a itemised checkout page ideal for eCommerce and invoicing.
The optional metadata parameter that you can provide when you create a payment or payout now displays within the payment view in Console.
You provide the metadata as a series of key-value pairs when you create a payment or payout.
