As part of our ongoing efforts to improve Devengo services and make our systems more consistent and useful, we are introducing receipts for our Incoming Payments entity.

Why the change?

We understand that having proper documentation for incoming payments is crucial for our customers' accounting and compliance needs. Receipts provide a clear, downloadable record of each incoming payment transaction, making it easier to maintain accurate financial records and meet regulatory requirements.

This enhancement aligns with our commitment to providing comprehensive financial tools that help our customers manage their operations more efficiently while maintaining the highest standards of transparency and compliance.

What does this mean for you?

When retrieving an Incoming Payment through our API, you will now find a new links.receipt node in the JSON response. The URL contained in this node provides direct access to download the receipt for that specific incoming payment.

Key features of this enhancement include:

API Integration: A new links.receipt node in the Incoming Payment JSON response
Real-time Notifications: Subscribe to the new incoming_payment_receipt.created webhook event to receive instant updates when receipts are generated
Control Panel Access: Download receipts directly from the incoming payment detail view using the new receipt icon
Seamless Integration: The receipt functionality is automatically available for all incoming payments without requiring any changes to your existing payment processing workflows

This enhancement provides you with immediate access to payment documentation, reducing the time and effort required to maintain proper financial records and respond to accounting or compliance requests.

What do I need to do?

For API users: The new links.receipt field will be automatically available in your Incoming Payment responses. No changes to your existing API calls are required.
For webhook subscribers: If you want to receive real-time notifications when receipts are created, subscribe to the new incoming_payment_receipt.created event in your webhook configuration.
For Control Panel users: Use the new receipt icon in the incoming payment detail view to download receipts as needed.

When will be the new changes come into effect?

These changes will be available starting July 8, 2025.
