Vortex Release Version (October 27, 2025)

New Features and Updates

• A new Kubernetes key was created specifically for Stripe 3DS processing, separating it from the existing stripe-api-key used for standard CAD and US transactions. This change ensures the 3DS integration operates independently without affecting existing Stripe workflows. In non-production environments, the new key points to the US non-prod Stripe account, while in production it references the US production Stripe account. Configuration is managed entirely through Okta environment settings, with no code changes required. A basic 3DS validation confirms proper integration and no regression in other payment flows.

• The logic for name verification on Discover PANs within Vortex ACS was updated to ensure that the cardholder’s first, middle, and last names are included in the network message even when postal code or address AVS fields are missing. This fix ensures consistent inclusion of name details during Discover verification.

Impact

These updates improve the reliability and separation of Stripe 3DS processing and enhance Discover cardholder name verification accuracy, reducing the risk of missing or incomplete data in payment network communications.
