Structured Reference

We’re introducing a new feature that allows Belgian businesses with BE bank accounts to include structured references, known as “OGM” or “Overschrijving met Gestructureerde Mededeling,” in their payments. This reference makes it easy for merchants to reconcile the payments on their bank statements. Please note that this feature requires the “Transactional Payout” setting to be enabled. For more details, check our API documentation, which explains the new “structuredReference” parameter (https://api.psp.ccv.eu/api/v1/doc#payment-create-a-new-payment-request-method-request-details-payout-instruction-request-details) for the payment request (https://api.psp.ccv.eu/api/v1/doc#payment-create-a-new-payment-request).

Important Bugfixes

Streamlined Cancellation Process for Landingpage Transactions: In this release, we’ve enhanced the cancellation process for Landingpage transactions. Now, when a merchant initiates a cancellation for a Landingpage transaction, and there’s just one pending child transaction covering the full amount of the Landingpage, our system takes into account the status of that child transaction. For instance, if the child transaction is a pending bank transfer, and the funds for it have already been collected, you’ll receive a cancellation response that clearly indicates this situation with an error message. This improvement ensures that you receive accurate and informative responses, making it easier to manage your transactions and preventing any confusion.

Enhanced Refund Process for Old Transactions: Previously some refunds processed on old transactions were not correctly marked as failed. This situation led to confusion regarding the status of these transactions. Now, when the original transaction can no longer be located, the refund response includes a specific failure code that indicates the reason for failure.
