Vortex Release Version (October 13, 2025)

New Features and Updates

• Enhanced the payment broker to transmit EMV request data to the ACS Stripe service in compliance with Stripe’s terminal integration requirements. When a valid EMV request is present, the system now maps key device fields including device ID, model, and location to Stripe’s respective identifiers. The processing method (contact or contactless) is also derived from the account capture method, ensuring accurate device identification, transaction tracking, and full compatibility with Stripe’s EMV certification standards.

• Added support for a new global ID column in the card payment table, enabling orchestration to capture and store global identifiers for payment responses. This enhancement improves data tracking and ensures consistency across payment records, with schema updates manually applied in non-production environments.

• Updated the account verification workflow to set the connected account when invoking the Stripe Setup Intent API. The system now derives the connected account information from the merchant’s global account ID, ensuring the appropriate merchant category code is correctly associated with verification requests.

Impact

These updates enhance Stripe integration accuracy, improve data consistency across payment systems, and ensure full compliance with EMV and connected account requirements for streamlined payment processing.
