September 2024
In September 2024 we freshened up the External Trans API, included a new transaction otype, added a batch-header field, added supported ACH characters, corrected a parameter setting, added a new endpoint, added three RDFs, corrected fields on the Statements guide, made updates to the Risk API, added information about ACH reversals, a new process guide for the Customer Service Tool, and updated a card-transaction scenario. Click September 2024 to see the details.
External Trans API updates
We've cleaned up the descriptions for the External Trans API webhooks. If you are currently using these webhooks, you don't need to make any changes; all of the fields are the same.
Transaction otype update
We added j
(Visa second presentment) to the list of transaction otypes in the Transaction Types guide.
New batch_header
field
batch_header
fieldFor four event messages, we have added the optional batch_header
field, which contains the header of the Nacha file that contained the ACH transaction. The event messages affected are:
Character-set clarification
To the name parameters of the Add ACH Account and Add ACH Account Corporate endpoints, we have added a link to a new list of supported characters to conform with Nacha file conventions.
Parameters correction
We corrected the settings for the ACDBX parameter. The meanings of the letters Y
and A
had been inverted but are now corrected.
New endpoint
To assist you with product audits and product configuration, we have created the Get Product Config endpoint, which belongs to the Public Config API. With this endpoint you can retrieve the settings for your products using an API instead of relying solely on the GCC. Along with this new endpoint we have created the Product Settings and Parameters reference pages to help interpret the endpoint responses.
New product RDFs
We added the following product RDFs:
- ACH Manual Review — Data on all incoming ACH transactions available in the manual review queue.
- Outgoing ACH — Provides data on all outgoing ACH transactions for the prior day, including credits and debits.
- Fraud Rule Detail — Provides data on transactions that triggered fraud rules.
Statements guide updates
We made the following corrections in the Statements guide:
- JSON fields — Corrected the
purchases
,od_per_fees
,od_ytd_fees
, andperiod_fees
to reflect these sums of debits as positive amounts. - Transaction fields — Added
post_ts
, which is the date the transaction settled in Galileo system time. - Example JSON statements — Updated the "Debit account statement" example.
Get Instant Verification parameter updates
For the Get Instant Verification endpoint, the character limit increased to a maximum of 120 characters.
Incoming ACH reversals
We added information to the ACH at Galileo and Galileo ACH Workflows guides about incoming ACH reversals and the reversal process.
New guide
Clients that use the CST can now ask their Galileo representative for the Merchant Credit Review CST Guide PDF, which provides information on how to perform merchant credit reviews.
Updated card-transaction scenario
We have updated Scenario 14: International Reversal. The scenario is predicated on RDFs from 2021, prior to the full-width RDFs, and so key data items such as the reversal ID were missing. The reversal ID has now been added.
