Purchase checks honour a card network intent's status

A purchase check can now carry a card network agent payment intent, and a purchase under an intent that is no longer active is denied.

The API reference for a purchase check, the request that now carries a card network intent.

Agent payment programs on the card networks record what the buyer approved as an intent with a status. A purchase check now reads it.

  • New intent source. Send source: "mastercard_intent" on a purchase check or spend session, with the intent's id, order total and currency, the merchant the buyer chose, and its status in conditions.status.
  • Only active intents spend. An intent whose status is cancelled, completed or anything but ACTIVE is denied with intent_not_active. The seller, maximum, currency and expiry comparisons apply as for every intent.
  • Same tools. check_purchase and open_spend_session accept the new source.
