November release notes: Streamlined Afterpay with currency switching, Payment Link improvements, and customisable transfer notifications

We're excited to share several new features and upcoming releases designed to enhance your experience with Airwallex and improve transaction efficiency.

Payments

Simplified Afterpay payments with currency switching on Shopline 💳

Offer your shoppers a seamless Afterpay experience with one-click payments and automatic currency switching, optimising the checkout process—regardless of currency.

We are excited to announce the launch of Afterpay with currency switching on Shopline. This new feature allows shoppers to complete their purchases with Afterpay in just one or two clicks, regardless of the checkout currency. The automatic currency switching ensures an optimal checkout experience by offering shoppers the ability to shop and pay with local currency.

To date, merchants using this feature have seen an average ten percent improvement in payment success rates.

Improved transaction success with billing addresses on Payment Links 🏠

Collect billing addresses directly through Payment Links, enabling address verification services (AVS) to reduce payment errors and increase transaction success rates.

Merchants can now collect billing addresses on Payment Links. This new feature enables Address Verification Service (AVS) to improve transaction success rates and reduce payment declines due to address mismatches. Collecting billing addresses is easy: When creating a payment link, simply turn on the billing address option under "Customer Address."

Coming soon: One-click checkout with Apple Pay and Google Pay on Shopline 🍏💳

Unlock a faster, frictionless checkout experience with Apple Pay and Google Pay, allowing customers to pay in one click, boosting conversion rates and enhancing the shopping experience.

While Apple Pay and Google Pay have been available as payment options, we’re excited to announce that these features will soon be integrated into Shopline. Shoppers will be able to check out in just one click—whether from the product detail page, cart, or checkout. We will be the second global payments provider to offer these features on Shopline.

Plus, we’ll continue to enhance the experience with further improvements, such as Apple Pay buttons in the checkout process and enhanced customisation options.

Business Accounts

Stay informed with customisable transfer notifications 📬

Manage email subscriptions for Transfer Sent and Transfer Cancellation notifications, keeping you informed of critical updates and enhancing communication with your team.

All Airwallex customers can now manage their email subscriptions for Transfer Sent and Transfer Cancellation notifications directly from the Notifications page under User Profiles. Users with "Transfers View" or "Transfers Create/Edit" permissions can ensure they stay informed on key transaction updates.

Additional improvements

Coming soon: Enhanced workflows for channel partners to onboard clients seamlessly 🌐

Improve efficiency and reduce friction in onboarding new clients with an optimised workflow for channel partners, eliminating repetitive tasks and empowering partners to scale without added complexity.

We’re excited to announce the upcoming launch of an enhanced workflow for channel partners. This new workflow simplifies the process and eliminates previous challenges with incorporating businesses and opening bank accounts on behalf of clients.

With the new workflow, channel partners are empowered to onboard clients more effectively and reduce friction in the process. Changes include: 

• Unique web app login: Channel partners will now have their own Airwallex web app login.

• Account switcher functionality: Using the account switcher, channel partners can easily refer subsequent clients without needing to create a new email address or resubmit their personal ID.

• Streamlined account handover to clients: The process of handing over accounts to the client once they’ve passed KYC will be significantly faster and more secure. 

Stay tuned for updates as we continue to optimise and enhance the partner experience.
