We have updated the webhooks events catalog to include the card-account.created event. You can now set up subscriptions to receive notifications for the new event.
See Card account notification payloads for more information.
We have introduced AP Card as a new funding account type for vendor payments with the v3 API.
The AP Card is a payment method that enables you to send fast payments with no transaction fees or annual fees. You can use the AP Card with any vendor who accepts credit card payments. See AP Card Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) in the BILL Help to learn more about AP Cards.
Vendor payments
When you create a vendor payment with POST /v3/payments, you can now set the AP_CARD as the funding account type.
See POST /v3/payments in the API reference for more information.
Get list of AP Cards
We have introduced GET /v3/funding-accounts/ap-cards for getting a list of AP Cards available in the current organization.
See GET /v3/funding-account/ap-cards in the API reference for more information.
Payment webhook improvements
The payment.updated webhook notification is available for the BANK_ACCOUNT, CARD_ACCOUNT, and WALLET funding type. We have now added notification capabilities for the AP_CARD funding account type.
See Payment notification payloads for more information.
When you create a vendor payment with a card account, we now require you to specify the card funding purpose for the payment. Set the card funding purpose as the vendor industry.
In your create payment request with POST /v3/payments, cardFundingPurpose is a new required body parameter for the CARD_ACCOUNT funding account type.
See POST /v3/payments in the API reference for more information.
In response to customer feedback, we have added check number information in the payments API response. When BILL processes your vendor payment as a check payment, the checkDisbursement object in the payments API response now includes the checkNumber field.
See POST /v3/payments in the API reference for more information.
In the bills API response, you now receive the total bill amount in addition to the existing bill line item amounts.
When you create any /v3/bills API request, you now see the amount field in the response. The amount value is the total bill amount. For a bill in an international currency (not USD), this value is in the local currency.
See Bills for more information.
We have added two new recipes for showcasing more workflows with the v3 API.
| Recipe | Description |
|---|---|
| Connect with a BILL network vendor | In this recipe, we search for and invite a network vendor. |
| Expense management with users, budgets, and virtual cards | In this recipe, we create a Spend & Expense user for a budget and then assign the user to a budget. In addition, we create a virtual card and assigned it to the budget user. |
When you create a bank account with the BILL v3 API, you can now enable bank account access to all users with the ADMINISTRATOR user role. Simply set accessToAdmins as true in your Create a bank account (POST /v3/funding-accounts/banks) or Update a bank account (PATCH /v3/funding-accounts/banks/{bankAccountId}) request.
See POST /v3/funding-accounts/banks and PATCH /v3/funding-accounts/banks/{bankAccountId} in the API reference for more information.
We have introduced a new Get API session details (GET /v3/login/session) endpoint. You can now get information about the current organization, current user, and MFA status of the organization.
See GET /v3/login/session in the API reference for more information.
An MFA ID is generated when you set rememberMe as true in your POST /v3/mfa/challenge/validate request.
To create a new MFA-trusted API session, you can now set an MFA ID and device name in your API login (POST /v3/login) request. In addition, BILL partners can create a new MFA-trusted API session by setting an MFA ID and device name in the API login as user (POST /v3/partner/login-as-user) request.
See POST /v3/login and POST /v3/partner/login-as-user in the API reference for more information.
We have introduced Guides section documentation for working with the BILL Spend & Expense API. The BILL Spend & Expense API enables you to build with virtual card and expense management services for real-time visibility and control over the finances of a business.
