Simulate card purchases in multiple currencies in Sandbox + clarified display of currencies​

As a developer experimenting with the Weavr system for the first time, or working within a live programme to prototype and test your application against our API, you’ll want to simulate purchases on fake payment cards you’ve set up. You can do this in the Simulator accessed through the Embedder Portal:

WEB

Simulated card purchases are also available through the Simulator API here: https://weavr-simulator-api.redoc.ly/tag/Cards#operation/cards_card_id_purchase

Both methods now allow you to simulate purchases in any currency (using any ISO-4217 symbol). Assuming the currency of a card is in EUR or GBP, and a simulated card purchase is in some other currency, a built-in (approximate) currency conversion will be used.

As part of a path to support a wider range of currencies in card purchases, spend control rules, statements, analytics and so on, we have changed the display of all currencies in the Embedder Portal to be in a 3-letter ISO-4217 style (e.g. GBP, EUR instead of £, €).

Deprecation of Google Play SafetyNet Attestation​

Google announced in 2022 that it is deprecating SafetyNet Attestation and the deadline for adoption of the new alternative, Play Integrity API is 31 January 2025. This affects Embedders using our biometrics solution in their mobile apps, requiring integrating an updated solution. As part of the update, developers on affected programmes will need to obtain an Integrity Checks API server key from Google Cloud and provide to Weavr for use in the Biometrics Authentication SDK.

This is one of several changes we are making in our mobile SDK from this month, and Weavr will reach out to affected programmes to discuss development and testing of updated solutions ahead of the deadline.
