With our ongoing commitment to improving our services and providing greater visibility into transactions at our checkouts, we are pleased to announce another significant update to the Payments API.

We have added a new response to the payment_type_id attribute, which now indicates if the payment was made with a prepaid card, using the value prepaid_card.

Previously, payments of this type were identified as credit or debit cards.

This update was designed to provide sellers with greater control and accuracy in managing transactions, further simplifying the integration of our services into their systems and ensuring compliance with BCRA regulations, effective from 3/1.

For more details on regulations and norms applicable to prepaid card payments, please refer to the official document available at this link.

You can also access the updated API documentation for Payment Methods and Get Payment to learn more about the update.
