Non-breaking change definition

Elements within the response body can be sent in any order.

Example:

{
    "apple": "gala",
    "pear": "conference"
}

or

{
    "pear": "conference",
    "apple": "gala"
}

A new element is now included in your response.

Example:

Before

{
    "apple": "gala",
    "pear": "conference"
}

After

{
    "apple": "gala",
    "pear": "conference",
    "melon": "honeydew"
}

Additional action links and URI resources are now returned within your response.

Example:

Before

{
    "_links": {
        "service:action1": {
            "href": "https://access.worldpay.com/service/action1"
        },
        "service:action2": {
            "href": "https://access.worldpay.com/service/action2"
        }
    }
}

After

{
    "_links": {
        "service:action1": {
            "href": "https://access.worldpay.com/service/action1"
        },
        "service:action2": {
            "href": "https://access.worldpay.com/service/action2"
        },
        "service:action3": {
            "href": "https://access.worldpay.com/service/action3"
        }
    }
}

Additionalerrorsmay be added when new features warrant a new error condition. Additionalvalidation errorsmay be added if new optional elements are added to the request.

AdditionalHTTP error codesmay be added when new features warrant a new error condition.

A new HTTP header is now added to our response.

Elements within the request body can be sent in any order.

Example:

{
    "apple": "gala",
    "pear": "conference"
}

or

{
    "pear": "conference",
    "apple": "gala"
}

New elements that are not mandatory can now be sent. For example merchant.mcc in our Payments API or description in our Tokens API.

Example:

Before

{
    "apple": "gala",
    "pear": "conference"
}

After

{
    "apple": "gala",
    "pear": "conference",
    "melon": "honeydew"
}

The value of an element now allows for an increased number of characters.

Example:

Before

{
    "phrase": "the quick brown fox"
}

After

{
    "phrase": "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
}

Changes invalidation rulesmean that requests which previously resulted in an error may now not.

Example:

A "time" value which previously allowed only hours and minutes, now also optionally allows seconds.

Before

{
    "time": "11:50"
}

After

{
    "time": "11:50:59"
}

We may expand the range of values we accept. This means requests that previously resulted in a validation error may now succeed.

For example, previously allowed range value was 10-50. New range is 10-100.

Element value options have now increased.

Example:

Previously allowed value options are apple, pear and melon. You could now also submit mango.

Before

{
    "fruit": "apple"
}

After

{
    "fruit": "mango"
}
