What's New

The following new features have been introduced in this version of FreedomPay.

Feature Description
SAF Schemes to have fewer than 12 characters

We introduced a new feature in FreedomPay 1.3.8 to identify offline transactions on the 7 Day Statement of Trade Report from Aztec. This report was unable to support card schemes with longer names due to a 12 character limit in Aztec

This change allows matching to truncated card scheme names e.g. SAF Masterca for Mastercard, or SAF China Un for China Union Pay

View serial number of Lane devices

Current ‘Sys Info Print’ button currently used for Verifone has been repurposed for FreedomPay to read the locally connected Lane PED serial number and display this on the till. Note – this button can be re-named as appropriate

Add 'No Amex' packages for acquirers Barclays and WorldPay

These optional packages prevent American Express payments from being processed when devices are running in offline mode

In order to install these packages, the ZCPS Theme Modelling config 'FreedomPay Amex' should be set to enabled (available values are enabled or disabled). When running the install for the new ZCPS version, this config will be checked and the correct acquirer package installed. This setting and 'No Amex' packages apply for customer with an acquirer of Barclays and WorldPay only. If this setting is configured for a customer with a different acquirer, it will have no effect

Zonal recommends that this setting is only enabled after a configuration change with FreedomPay to prevent Amex payments when online
