Deep Linking on IPOSgo! for iOS
We’ve launched a new API for Deep Linking Integration that lets the Invoking app use iPOSgo! for accepting payments. In designing the API, our goal was to make it simple, intuitive, and predictable. We do our best to adhere to common open and widely accepted standards, including WRAPPER CLASS for access, JSON format for the data, and Basic Authentication and Authorization.

Updated customer support contact
This update has changed the customer support details found in the terms and conditions of Paya ACH in Send Payment Link transaction. The updated customer support contact details include the store’s phone number and email address.
Accurate store name & address
Before this update, when the merchant sent a payment link to the customer, the email containing the payment link would feature the merchant’s email and address. Similarly, this information was reflected in the invoice issued upon completing the transaction. This update replaces the merchant’s email and address with the store name and address for enhanced clarity.
Custom Fields in Paya ACH Transactions
This update introduces the inclusion of custom fields in the Paya ACH transactions. These fields are available on the “Pay Now” screen and the payment page when using the “Send Payment Link” feature.

Enter the amount → ACH → Enter the desired text in the custom fields.
Complete the transaction.

Now, merchants can easily view and retrieve pending invoices associated with a particular customer. This allows them to:
Identify customers with outstanding balances.
Process transactions efficiently.
The overall process remains the same. Once you find the invoice using the customer’s name, you can complete the transaction as usual.

❓How to Use:
Login to the iPOSpays portal using a merchant account.
Go to Reports → Batch Reports → Action Box → Download.
