October at Akurateco was all about momentum. 🚀 We focused on enhancing platform performance, introducing more intelligent routing logic, and refining analytics to enable our clients to make real-time, data-driven payment decisions. New acquirer connections strengthened our global coverage, while UI and API enhancements made integration even smoother.
October will be a month of visibility, with new case studies, industry events, and feature launches on the way. Stay tuned!
Features & Updates
We’ve rolled out a fresh set of updates designed to make payments smarter, safer, and more flexible. From a powerful new Anomalies widget and cleaner UI upgrades to enhanced fraud-scoring integrations and expanded API capabilities, every feature is built to help merchants streamline operations and scale with confidence.
1. New Dashboard Widget: Anomalies
We have added a Smart Anomalies widget to the Dashboard. It tracks transaction history, calculates the average approval ratio (per merchant or system-wide), and compares it with the current value for the selected period. This helps merchants quickly identify traffic anomalies and respond promptly.
2. Improved Transaction List UI
In the admin panel, the transaction list for APMs is now more user-friendly: instead of text-based payment method brand names, we display official payment method logos. This makes the interface clearer and easier to navigate.
3. Extended Callback Configuration
Merchants can now receive the selected Payment method parameter not only in the callback but also in the cancel/success URL. This ensures better tracking of the payment flow and simplifies integration logic.
4. Enhanced Custom Routing
We have updated Custom Routing to allow the same merchant entity to work in both test and live modes simultaneously, including routing logic. This allows merchants to test new flows without affecting live traffic.
5. Upgraded Risk Scoring Integrations
We have updated our integrations with Fraudio and AcuityTec to align with their new APIs and scoring algorithms. This provides merchants with stronger fraud prevention and more accurate risk assessments.
6. Rolling Reserve Optimization
We improved the calculation logic for Rolling Reserve, making settlement reports easier to reconcile.
7. Expanded API Validation & Functionality
We enhanced our Checkout and S2S Card API protocols with extended validation and new use cases:
- Added support for longer customer names in countries where full names have higher character counts.
- Introduced the ability to perform a “0” amount Capture in DMS mode, allowing merchants to store card details at the first step and charge later (useful for businesses with trial periods or delayed billing).
8. Hosted Payment Fields
We added improvements to Hosted Payment Fields, providing merchants with a more flexible way to embed secure payment inputs into their checkout pages while maintaining PCI compliance and a smooth customer experience.
We’ve updated 11 existing connectors and added 8 new ones!
Including crypto, voucher, wallet, and regional payment solutions. These enhancements give our clients even greater flexibility to manage transactions, expand coverage, and ensure uninterrupted payment flows across markets. Merchants can now accept more payment types, optimize routing for higher approval rates, and deliver smoother checkout experiences for customers worldwide.
