Changelog

Amounts are always positive

amount is now always a positive number in transaction, payout, checkout, card, payment link and FX swap responses. Use the transaction type to tell money in from money out.

What you need to do

If you relied on a negative amount for outflows, use the transaction type instead.

Checkout redirects fall back to your redirect URL

When a checkout has no redirect_url, customers are now sent to the redirect URL set on your account after they pay. Atlas adds checkoutReference to the query string so you can match the customer to the checkout.

https://example.com/payment-complete?checkoutReference=CHK_123456

More customer fields

When you create a customer:

• business customers take a business_name,
• wallet_va_name sets the name on the customer's wallet account,
• provider_name chooses the wallet provider (globus or wema), and
• first and last names can be up to 250 characters.

Customer responses now include businessName and type. firstName and lastName return an empty string instead of null when not set.

Bank list updates

The bank list now includes NomBank. Amucha MFB has been removed.

Pay-ins show which account received the funds

Pay-in webhooks and pay-in responses now include a recipient object with the name and number of the account that was credited.

"recipient": {
  "accountName": "Ada Okafor",
  "accountNumber": "8012345678"
}

Either field is null when the provider does not return it. See the webhook events reference.

More ways to look up a checkout

New checkout endpoints:

• verify a checkout by reference,
• verify a checkout by source reference, and
• list a checkout's transactions by reference.

Business customers

When you create a customer, you can set type to individual or business. Business customers don't need first_name or last_name.

See the customers guide.

Checkout transactions confirm faster

Checkout transactions now show successful as soon as Atlas is notified of the inflow, instead of waiting for the inflow to be fully resolved.

What you need to do

Nothing. If you poll checkout status, you see successful sooner.

Checkout transactions include the session ID

Checkout transaction responses now include sessionId, the session ID the bank assigns to the transfer. Use it to trace a payment with the paying bank.

See the checkout guide.
