Trial Marking for Initial Recurring Transactions

We’ve added the ability for merchants to mark the first recurring payment as a trial transaction.

Key details:

• A new portal setting lets merchants enable trial marking for supported processors.

• When enabled, the system automatically appends “Trial” to the transaction descriptor for the initial recurring payment.

• Works with both static and dynamic descriptors, while ensuring compliance with processor-specific descriptor length rules.

• Phase 1: available for Worldpay integration.

This enhancement provides greater flexibility in handling recurring billing scenarios where the initial transaction should be clearly identified as a trial.

Processor and MID Information in Payment Responses

We have enhanced payment API responses to include additional processor-related parameters:

• paymentProcessor – the name of the processor handling the transaction (e.g., WorldPay).

• processorMerchantId – the merchant account ID (MID) assigned by the processor (e.g., 10071676).

These parameters are now available in responses for the following endpoints:

• Sale (with/without Payment Method details)

• Auth (with/without Payment Method details)

• Capture

• Create Subscription

Merchants can now easily identify which processor and merchant processor account were used for each transaction, improving transparency and simplifying reconciliation across multiple processors.
