New sandbox simulator endpoints to authorise a payment run

· One min read

Effective:

  • 14 May 2024 on Sandbox
  • 17 May 2024 on Live

We have exposed two new simulator endpoints where the user can simulate an issue and verify an SCASCA Strong Customer Authentication - a two-factor authentication solution required by PSD2 regulations for when end-users are accessing their payment account sensitive information or initiating transactions. SCA requires at least two of the following: something you know (password), something you have (device), or something you are (biometrics). challenge for a payment runPayment Run A list of payments created by Buyers to settle their outstanding financial obligations with their suppliers. Payment runs are typically managed by the accounts payable function within a business on a periodic basis and go through stages of creation, authorisation, funding, and execution.. The simulator endpoints will help you trigger processes in Sandbox that in Production are triggered from an external action rather than from your application. This way you can test scenarios that otherwise you would only encounter in the Live environment.
