PayConex - 10.24.2023

This release brings refinements and enhancements to PayConex Custom Reports, updates to the STORE transaction type, and various bug fixes.

ShieldConex Options in PayConex Custom Reports

We're excited to announce an update that extends the capabilities of PayConex custom reports. You can now include ShieldConex parameters, providing a richer set of transactional information at your fingertips.

What's New:

  • These settings were previously only accessible if your PayConex account was configured to include ShieldConex data via the ReportingService API.
  • When editing or creating a custom report, ShieldConex options will appear in the "Additional Data Fields to include in report" section.
  • The following ShieldConex fields can now be included in your reports:
    • bfid
    • scx bank acc no.
    • scx bank routing no.
    • scx card no.
    • scx card exp.

📘

Note

At this time data will only be populated in these fields if your PayConex account is configured to utilize ShieldConex tokenization. For more information on that feel free to review our guide covering ShieldConex on PayConex or checkout the developer portal for ShieldConex.

PayConex STORE Transactions to Issue $0 Authorizations

In compliance with the card brand's Cardholder Initiated Transaction (CIT) / Merchant Initiated Transaction (MIT) mandates effective December 2023, we've modified the PayConex STORE transaction type to issue a $0 authorization.

What's Changing:

  • Starting with this release PayConex STORE transactions involving Mastercard will perform a $0 authorization.
  • This change aligns our system with new card brand requirements but does not affect transaction functionality.

What Does This Mean for You?

  • If you perform PayConex STORE transactions, you may notice additional charges due to the $0 authorization.
