When sending us customer documents, we now accept Base64 encoded images. Previously we only support links to images in a secure location, however we now support both. See detailed guide here, see API reference here.
The new webhook retry mechanism ensures reliable delivery of event notifications. If Banxa does not receive a 200 OK response from your server after sending a webhook, the system will automatically re-send the same webhook multiple times. The payload of the webhook remains unchanged across all retry attempts.
In order to support additional reporting that you may wish to do, we have introduced the cryptocurrency/blockchain smart contract value to each cryptocurrency and blockchain pair returned in the Get Coins and Get Order(s) Single and Bulk API responses.
Today, if you have subscribed to Banxa webhooks, they are sent for only a subset of order status transitions (inProgress, completed, expired and waitingPayment). Additionally, the webhook payload only contains the order ID and requires you to make a Get Order call to retrieve the status.
Using the URL Parametization method of integration, you will now be able to pass parameters that will change the look and feel of the customer's checkout experience. These new parameters include: theme, primaryColor, secondaryColor, backgroundColor and textColor.
You will now be able to change the commission rate charged on a per quote or per order basis using your existing integration with the GET Prices and POST Create Order endpoints.
There will be a new header parameter you will receive on all Banxa API responses called X-REQUEST-ID. This value can be used for any integrations troubleshooting with us, and will help us identify all Request and Response pairs.
You will now be able to pass a customers national ID number using new request parameters taxId and taxState using the KYC Sharing Customer Registration endpoint. For example you can pass the customers SSN and state.
