Cloud Payment Service release notes

This section contains release notes for the Cloud Payment Service(CPS). Your services use the CPS API to control P6X and Apollo family terminals over the internet, with no local connection to the terminal. We deploy every CPS release ourselves, so you do not need to update anything.

  • Version 1.4.0: a 10-minute webhook timeout, an earlier disconnect webhook for Apollo family terminals, and transactionUUID in the card webhook
  • Version 1.3.9: no more 02:00 UTC request blocking for Apollo family terminals, and extended card information in the card webhook
  • Version 1.3.8: faster terminal reconnection after a service restart

How the Cloud Payment Service connects​

The Cloud Payment Service sits between your payment terminals and your own services:

The components are:

  • Payter Terminal: reads the customer's card, and shows the screens that your services request. It connects to the Cloud Payment Service over the internet.
  • Cloud Payment Service: passes requests from your services to the terminal, and reports terminal events, such as a card read or a disconnection, back to your services through webhooks.
  • Your services: send requests to the CPS API, such as a request to start, authorize, or commit a payment, and receive the webhook calls.
