Vortex Release Version (May 26, 2025)

• Corrected routing logic for Debit Interlink card Sale Completion transactions to ensure they are included in the appropriate Debit batch instead of the Credit batch, improving batch accuracy.
• Updated the VTX Payment Grid to display the networkName for SMS transactions in the "Card Type" field, defaulting to "Debit" when networkIdCode is missing, enhancing clarity for SMS transaction types.
• Implemented secure Redis connection support across all services by adding configuration for secure credentials, preparing for migration to secure Redis clusters and improving environment parity.
• Introduced default Terminal IDs for MXM host transactions when no terminal ID is provided by the client, ensuring consistent batching across various source types and preserving batch integrity.
• Fixed Discover Apple Pay transaction declines caused by incorrect DE122 field formatting by correctly constructing the cryptogram per Discover’s authorization standards, reducing false fraud rejections.
• Added support for voids, reversals, and refunds on Apple Pay transactions within MX Merchant, enabling follow-up actions without requiring re-entry of card information and improving transaction management.
• Excluded Global Payments (Priority processor) from batching in the Vortex Consumer Recruitment service by preventing batchId assignment, ensuring these payments are correctly skipped during batch processing.
• Enhanced Vortex Webhook API to support Stripe terminal events by introducing eos-payment-api-integration-stripe service, which processes terminal reader success and failure events into corresponding transactions for downstream handling.

Impact

These updates improve transaction accuracy, security, and operational efficiency across the Vortex platform. Debit transactions now batch correctly, preventing reconciliation errors, while enhanced payment grid details increase transparency for SMS payments. Secure Redis connectivity strengthens infrastructure reliability. Apple Pay processing is more robust, reducing false declines and enabling smoother refunds and reversals. The exclusion of Global Payments from recruitment batches streamlines batch workflows. Finally, Stripe terminal integration expands Vortex’s payment support, providing better visibility and handling of terminal events. Together, these changes enhance user experience, data integrity, and platform readiness for emerging payment methods.
