New
externalIDFieldWe have introduced a new field, externalID, in the Transfer Money request to allow customers to include their custom reference ID for transactions. This enhancement simplifies reconciliation for clients.
- The externalID field is a string that accepts user-defined reference numbers.
- It supports idempotency by rejecting transactions with duplicate reference numbers, thereby preventing duplicates.
- Customers can filter transactions using externalID via the Transactions API and Fetch Remittance Lifecycle API.
- Additionally, this field is included in all payout webhooks to facilitate seamless reconciliation.
For more info, see Transfer Money in our API Reference.
