The following is a cumulative list of enhancements in each Payments service release.

Learn how to implement and use the [Payment Service](docId\:yKUbVpRWV4mAVloTPCcg2) with Configured Commerce or Commerce Connect.

## May 2026

**Payment Service enhancements**

- Added an **Apple Pay Setup** tab to the Payment Service that guides administrators through certificate setup. The tab provides step-by-step wizards for the Payment Processing certificate and the Merchant Identity certificate, and a helper that converts the Apple Pay Domain Verification file to Base64 for pasting into Configured Commerce admin settings. See [Apple Pay setup](docId\:e1UKqsJE-SNW5iYrxZx4G).
- Added translation support to the Payment Service. The Payment Service now renders labels in the **Admin Console's** selected language.
- Upgraded the Payment Service to .NET 10. The Payment Service project targets net10.0 in place of net8.0, so partners running the Payment Service locally need the .NET 10.0 SDK installed.

**Configured Commerce enhancements**

- **5.2.2605 and higher** – Added **Admin Console** audit log entries for visits to the Payment Service micro-frontend and for changes to Payment Service configuration, matching the logging coverage already in place for other **Admin Console** pages.
- **5.2.2606 and higher** – Added Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) support through Stripe Alternative Payment Method (APM) (Klarna, Afterpay/Clearpay, Affirm, and Zip) over the Spreedly Payment Service integration. Administrators turn on Buy Now, Pay Later Enabled in the **Spreedly** settings group and mark a payment method with the new **Is BNPL** toggle. The storefront then renders the Stripe payment element on the Review & Submit step, and the new Buy Now, Pay Later completes the redirect flow and submits the order. See [Buy Now, Pay Later payment methods](docId\:Ci-_w7Rz1a0kGYSYQ7EUY).

## March 2026

**Payment Service enhancement**

Added tooltip descriptions to the Merchant Profile, SCA Provider, and Add Gateway forms that provides field-level guidance for users to understand configuration options directly in the interface.

**Configured Commerce enhancements**

- **5.2.2603 and higher** – Added support for the Verify transaction type in Payment Service. Verify transactions let you validate a payment method without charging it, which is useful for card-on-file and subscription scenarios. This feature does not apply out of the box; customers who need it can implement it through extensions. Note: 3D Secure is not currently supported for Verify transactions. See [Implement verify a card transaction type](docId\:F8ydBP8qbzpBx69Yi2AXk).
- **5.2.2604 and higher** – Added the ability to log request and response payloads exchanged with Payment Service within **Order Management > Payment** in the Admin Console. When enabled, this logging helps troubleshoot payment issues and audit gateway-specific field customizations. Sensitive data is automatically masked.
