Changelog — Ally Management V15

Release date: March 26, 2026

Adds Email Notifications for Sub-Merchant Lifecycle Events

What’s New

Allies can now receive email notifications whenever key lifecycle events occur for the sub-merchants they manage. Covered events include onboarding, activation, deactivation, and other merchant status changes. This gives Allies a passive, real-time awareness of their portfolio without requiring them to actively check the portal.

Why It Matters

Before this change, Allies had no automated way to learn when a sub-merchant’s status changed — they had to log in and check manually. You can now rely on email alerts to stay informed about merchant lifecycle activity as it happens, reducing the risk of missing critical changes.

Sends Notifications When Webhook Configurations are Added or Removed

What’s New

Allies receive an email notification whenever a webhook is added to or deleted from their account. This ensures that any change to webhook configuration — whether intentional or unexpected — is surfaced to the Ally promptly.

Why It Matters

Webhook changes can silently break downstream integrations if they go unnoticed. You can now detect configuration changes immediately and investigate or respond before any integration impact escalates.

Restricts Merchant Management Webhook Module to IPFS Allies Only

What’s New

The Merchant Management webhook module in the Ally Portal is now only visible and accessible to Allies who are set up as IPFS Allies. Non-IPFS Allies no longer see this module in their webhook subscription interface.

Why It Matters

Previously, non-IPFS Allies could see webhook modules that were not applicable to their account type, leading to confusion. You can now expect the webhook subscription UI to reflect only the options relevant to your Ally configuration.

Fixes Recurring Scheduler Errors Caused by Special Characters in Merchant References

What’s New

The transaction correction scheduler previously failed every 30 minutes when processing records where the Merchant Reference field contained special characters, including single quotes. The underlying SQL update logic has been corrected to handle these characters safely.

Why It Matters

Transactions containing special characters in the Merchant Reference field were getting stuck and never advancing to the correct status. Those transactions now process reliably, and the scheduler no longer produces recurring errors.

Displays Split Reference Identifiers in the Payment Details UI

What’s New

When a payment is split into multiple portions, each split’s merchant-provided reference identifier is now stored and displayed in the UI. This appears in both the standard payment intent flow and the secure payments flow, within the split payment details view.

Why it Matters

You can now verify and cross-reference each portion of a split payment against the merchant-assigned reference — useful for reconciliation, auditing, and tracking individual splits through your own systems.
