  As required by Visa, your end customers can now select if they want to pay via Visa or Dankort, when paying with Visa/Dankort card, and when you, as a merchant, support both.

v. 5.14.0

August 2023

What's new: 

• Improved and more reliable payment flow 
  With the new more reliable payment flow, when a user makes a successful payment via Swiipe, we notify the webshop. If the webshop fails to acknowledge this notification, we cancel the payment and allow the user to try again. 
  This fixes a previous issue we noticed, where the payment would go through, but the order wouldn’t change its status, leading to a missed opportunity to process the order.
  All the technical information about these notifications is also available to view for each transaction in the Swiipe portal.

• Seamless loading experience 
  We have made it possible for your customers to see and start using the checkout before all the data-heavy sections are fully loaded. This reduces the perceived loading time of the checkout, leaving your customers more satisfied. We have also updated the loading indicators to ensure an overall smooth checkout experience.

• Handling the case of multiple MobilePay sessions on the same order
  In case where your customer might start multiple MobilePay sessions on their app for the same purchase, if they authorize at least one of them, we will be able to correctly identify the status of the order and allow you to capture the money. 

 

v. 3.7.0

March 2021

What’s new: 

• Partial capture from the payment widget
  You can now capture authorized payments partially (or in full) directly from the Swiipe Payments widget in the admin panel. Note that capturing or canceling the payment from the widget will not change the order status, you will need to update the order status yourself. 
   
• Pay page support
  For those of you using pay page on WooCommerce, your customers can now successfully pay with Swiipe payments on the Pay page. 
   
• Support for WooCommerce 5.0.0
  Swiipe Checkout and payment services are tested and working with the latest WooCommerce version. 
   
• Improved card form design for SwiipeCard Payments 
  We made the card form for Swiipe Card Payments more user friendly and nicer on the eye by adding some guidance and more descriptive labels.  
   
• Optional information regarding NemID sign in recuiredfor payment online 
  Due to the recent changes in the payment law (3DS2), customers are now often required to log in to the NemID app to approve their transactions. We see a lot of customers abandoning the payment flow because that is not what they are used to. To bring awareness and trust back, you can now select to show a little notice in the payment form informing customers that they will need to log in with their NemID as part of the payment flow. It is available for both Card Payments and MobilePay when you use Swiipe

However, you can now select to show all the delivery options in the checkout for the logged-in users instead.

 Bug fixes: 

• Browser autofill works correctly now. However, on some browsers the address may not be filled in, if Google autocomplete feature is on, as the two cannot successfully function together.

 

 

v. 3.5.0

October 2020

What's new: 

• IE support for Swiipe Card Payments

You can do that from the order page in the webshop admin panel, just remember to select the payment method under the customer's billing information.

• Dankort payments  
  You can now accept Dankort payments together with Visa and Mastercard, when you use Swiipe Card Payments on your webshop. 
   
• Swiipe Payments widget in WooCommerce order page 
  We have added a Swiipe widget in the order page in WooCommerce, so you can see the order payment information (such as payment method type, status and the amount). It is especially useful if you are using our “disable capture on complete” feature, as in that case the order status might not match the payment status. 
   
• Error messages for failed payments 
  We now provide more information on what went wrong when the payment fails. You can see these error messages in the order notes on WooCommerce, and your customers will see this information on the checkout or a payment page (in cases where 3DS is required).

 

 

v. 3.3.2

October 2020

• Support for Shipmondo v. 4.0.2 
  Shipmondo made some big changes in the way their plugin works. We have now adjusted and support the newest as well as the earlier versions.

  We made it possible for you to manage the payments through the Swiipe portal instead of WooCommerce. With the setting “disable capture on complete” you can choose the payments to not be captured when the order status is changed in WooCommerce, and instead do it yourself in the Swiipe portal.  
   
• Support for custom order numbers 
  We ensured the order id in the webshop admin panel always matches the one shown on the transactions in the Swiipe portal, even if you set it to sequential, random, add prefixes or otherwise modify it in WooCommerce. 
   
• Improved algorithm for selecting a delivery method 
  We improved our algorithm for selecting delivery addresses for logged-in Swiipe users (so they can check out faster with our One-Click Buy). We select the delivery that matches the customer’s preference at the best price on the webshop. 
   
• Option to display custom sections below order review
