2. SnapConsole improvements and new features

With the new SnapConsole design (which you can view updates?here) that was released in May, we’ve been continuing to optimize it to enable you to easily navigate and make changes in your control panel.

3. Enhancements to Instant Payment Notifications – including multiple IPN support!

We’re excited to announce that the new IPN mechanism is currently active for almost all IPN types!

With the new IPN mechanism, there are now new reports and the ability to add multiple IPN destinations!

Reporting updates: The report “IPN Sending Status” now provides a breakdown per IPN type and status. Including a summary of how many IPNs were sent/non sent. A new report was created, called “IPN Locator” that allows you to search for specific IPNs by date, type, invoice or subscription ID.

Multiple IPN URL destination insertion (coming soon): You can now define multiple IPN URLs both at the account level and contract level! In addition, we’ve updated the behavior for NEW contracts where if the Global IPN URL is selected at the account level, it’ll now be selected by default for new contracts. This will not change any of your existing contracts.
