In the payments API, we have introduced a new exchangeRateBatchId field. BILL maintains all exchangeRate values in a batch. When a batch expires, a new batch ID is generated and all exchangeRate values are updated in the new batch.

In the Create a payment (POST /v3/payments) and Create a bulk payment (POST /v3/payments/bulk) API request, you can now set this required field for paying international vendors.

Get the current BILL exchange rate and exchange rate batch ID with GET /v3/payments/exchange-rate or POST /v3/payments/exchange-rate (for multiple international vendors).

See POST /v3/payments in the API reference for more information.

We have introduced a new API endpoint for getting BILL exchange rates for multiple vendors.

You can now get the current BILL exchange rate and exchange rate batch ID for multiple international vendors with one API request. The exchange rate batch ID is required for creating a bulk payment with POST /v3/payments/bulk.

The BILL exchange rate changes periodically. Use this endpoint to get the current exchange rate based on the payment amount and vendor bill currency.

We have added a new developer tutorial video - BILL v3 API webhooks explained in the BILL API Platform for developers YouTube playlist. In this video, we learn how to use the BILL v3 Webhooks API to build faster, smarter, and more efficient integrations. See the BILL API Platform for developers playlist for the complete set of developer tutorial videos.

Vendor setup widget

• We learned that the vendor name field was not marked as a required field. We have fixed this issue.

We have added a new developer tutorial - Bill approvals with the BILL v3 API - in the BILL API Platform for developers YouTube playlist. See the BILL API Platform for developers playlist for the complete set of developer tutorials.

Bill approvals with the BILL v3 API

In this tutorial, we walk through how to build and manage bill approval workflows using the BILL v3 API.

We have improved the table of contents in the BILL v3 API API reference section on developer.bill.com.

You now see dedicated sections for Accounts Payable (AP) and Accounts Receivable (AR) operations. Other operations that belong to your BILL organization are now in the new Organization Operations section. There is no change in any of the other sections in the API reference.

These improvements are also available in the BILL v3 API Postman Collection.

We have introduced a set of API endpoints for charging customers. You can now use the BILL v3 API to charge a customer for one or more invoices.

We have updated the webhooks events catalog to include a set of new events for invoices. Notifications are now triggered for these invoice events. You can now set up subscriptions to receive notifications for the new events.

See AR invoice notification payloads for more information.

Features

Manage funding widget improvements

We have added a list of BILL ACH IDs in the Manage funding list. This information is required in case the user's bank account has a debit block or debit filter. The user can now easily access this information in the Manage funding list experience. The user can copy the BILL ACH ID values to clipboard.

We have introduced a set of API endpoints for customer bank accounts. You can now use the BILL v3 API to create and manage customer bank account information.
