We are excited to share the latest updates from June and July 2024! Here’s a summary of the new features, improvements, and bug fixes released during this period:

New Features

• New Endpoints:

  • We've introduced a new endpoint Get Community Members that allows you to retrieve all members of a particular community via the Community ID.
  • Now, you can search for Payee/Merchant information and seamlessly integrate Canadian bill payments into your applications using the new Payout Canadian Bill Payment endpoint.

• Personalized Onboarding Email: New users on Sandbox now receive a personalized email from our CEO during onboarding. It’s our way of saying “Welcome to the family!”

• Use Case Page: We’ve added a new use case page on the Chimoney website detailing various Chimoney API use cases. This page is your go-to guide for understanding how to leverage our API in real-world scenarios.

• Developer Toolkit Page: Our new developer toolkit page is live! It features resources and tools for developers, including documentation, SDKs, and integration guides, to ensure your development process with the Chimoney API is smooth.

  

Improvements

• You can now add a personalized message of up to 250 characters in payout transaction bodies and API responses.

• We’ve refined the Transactions table logic to better display wallet-based transactions and incorporate user-specific currency wallets, making it easier for you to track your transactions.

• We enhanced the user search functionality on our Chimoney user management admin dashboard. Finding users is now quicker and simpler, just for you!

• The Canadian bills payment endpoint endpoint now supports USD/CAD with the optional debitCurrency parameter, and we’ve removed the valueInUSD limitation in the Swagger docs for more flexibility in your transactions.

• We’ve added the logic of cleaning up the organization’s member email list by removing users with invites still showing after acceptance, ensuring your lists are accurate and up-to-date.

• We updated the privacy policy to provide a comprehensive legal framework for users.

• We also improved the UI of our testimonials page to make browsing through user/client feedback a pleasant experience.

  

Bug Fixes

• We’ve fixed the logic for marking transactions as debit or non-debit based on the issuer and wallet owner to ensure your transaction records are always accurate.

• Now, you are able to send money to wallets using account IDs.

• We've corrected the double card bug in the organization team section, caused by client IDs being added to both admin and member arrays, to keep your team list clean and accurate.

• We've prevented organization users from inviting already existing emails, including their own, to avoid duplicates and confusion.

• Airtime redemption in Kenya is now restricted to Safaricom, ensuring a more reliable service for our Kenyan users.

• The organization onboarding process has been improved by rendering validation errors in real-time, allowing you to correct mistakes before form submission for a smoother experience.

We hope these updates enhance your experience with Chimoney! As always, we welcome your feedback and are here to help with any questions.
