When you create a vendor with vendor bank account information, BILL has restrictions for updating this bank account information. To stay consistent with this BILL policy, we have removed the ability to update vendor bank account information with the Update a vendor (PATCH /v3/vendors/{vendorId}) endpoint.

At the same time, we have introduced a set of endpoints for vendor bank account operations. You can now add and manage vendor bank account information with a dedicated set of endpoints.

📘

NOTE

To update vendor bank account information, you must first delete the existing vendor bank account (with DELETE /v3/vendors/{vendorId}/bank-account), and then create a new vendor bank account (with POST /v3/vendors/{vendorId}/bank-account) with the updated information.

We have introduced a new Get funding account permissions (GET /v3/funding-accounts/permissions) endpoint. You can now get the funding account permissions available for the current organization and current organization user.

See GET /v3/funding-accounts/permissions in the API reference for more information.

We have introduced a new Get list of MFA phone numbers (GET /v3/mfa/phones) endpoint. You can now get a list of phone numbers that have been added for setting up MFA in the current organization.

See GET /v3/mfa/phones in the API reference for more information.

We have introduced a new Get list of organizations (GET /v3/partner/organizations) endpoint. As a BILL partner, you can get a list of organizations that you have created and manage.

See GET /v3/partners/organizations in the API reference for more information.

You can get details about your current API session with GET /v3/login/session. In the response, we have introduced PHONE_VERIFICATION as a new value for the mfaStatus field.

Your organization mfaStatus is set as PHONE_VERIFICATION when the organization does not use MFA. See GET /v3/login/session in the API reference for more information.

We have added a new recipe for showcasing the MFA sign in workflow with the v3 API. See MFA sign in the Recipes section for more information.

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.
