June brought a wave of meaningful upgrades to the Akurateco platform — all focused on giving our partners more control, customization, and clarity. From enhanced routing capabilities to more innovative sandbox tools and refined merchant onboarding, we’ve made powerful strides in product maturity. Each new feature is a step toward a more agile and intelligent payment ecosystem.
New Features Overview
- Default daily limits on MID and Merchant mapping: The system now automatically applies default daily transaction limits when creating a MID or mapping. This speeds up the setup process and ensures that mandatory daily limits are not missed or forgotten, improving overall risk control and configuration efficiency.
- Merchant registration page branding: The merchant onboarding experience is now customizable with branding options on the registration page, helping partners deliver a seamless, brand-consistent journey.
- Chargeback alert after refund: A new notification feature alerts merchants if a chargeback is initiated after a refund, helping them respond faster to post-refund disputes.
- Select default language on the checkout page: The default language for the checkout page can now be configured on the protocol mapping level. This simplifies the localization setup and ensures a consistent user experience.
- New Custom Routing condition: A new routing rule based on the Payee Issuer Country is now available for credit cards. This enables more granular control over fund flows, allowing optimized routing based on the recipient’s card issuer country. It is beneficial for handling international payouts and compliance requirements.
Connector & Integration Updates
We’ve upgraded 8 of our existing connectors.
They’re now more flexible, support a wider range of payment methods, and offer better coverage in key regions.
Also, 5 new integrations added, among them:
- Payitwise (alternative payment method) unlocks dozens of local options, such as Pix, Korea Bank Transfer, UK & EU Open Banking, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Paytm, Bancontact, Blik, EPS, GiroPay, MyBank, Przelewy24, Trustly, UPI, PayID, and more. It’s great for reaching users with the methods they trust most.
- One of the new connectors plugs into a major European acquiring platform, giving merchants access to a wide range of localized payment flows across Europe — smoother transactions, less friction, more reach.
- Smartfastpay (Hosted Payment Page) is also available, making it easier for merchants to accept local payment methods in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, Bolivia, Argentina, and Brazil. This is a real boost for LatAm coverage!
