Vortex Release Version (July 21, 2025)

Resolved a regression in the EOS Payment Consumer Recruitment service where authorization transactions were incorrectly assigned a BatchId. The fix ensures that only valid transaction types—such as sale, return, and prepaid—are recruited into batches, restoring expected batching behavior and preventing premature settlement attempts on authorization records.
Added support for Interac terminal payments by enhancing Stripe integration and checkout processing. The system now maps payment method types including interac_present and card_present from intent.latest_charge.payment_method_details, enabling proper classification and processing of Interac transactions. BIN range handling was also improved by treating values as strings for more accurate recognition of card types.
Enabled device ID capture during terminal payment creation by extracting metadata.deviceName from the Stripe payment intent. This value is now assigned to payment.device.id, supporting standard ASCII characters and improving traceability for terminal-originated transactions.
Enhanced support for secondary terminal transactions by backfilling key card and account details—cardBin, account.expiry, account.last4, and account.cardType—from the original primary transaction. These values are now consistently populated through backfillable routes, improving downstream reporting and operational consistency.

Impact

This release restores expected transaction batching behavior by ensuring authorization records are excluded from batch recruitment, reducing the risk of invalid settlements. Interac terminal payments are now fully supported, extending Vortex’s compatibility with Canadian debit networks and ensuring accurate processing across card types. The inclusion of terminal device identifiers enhances transaction traceability and auditability. Additionally, improved data backfill for secondary terminal transactions ensures complete and consistent card information for reporting, reconciliation, and operational insight.
