Product Updates

​

This week

​

New

• Agent Billing is live. Track agents as first-class entities, bill on activity or outcomes, and watch margin per agent and per model in the new Agents dashboard. Value Receipts give buyers certified ROI for every run. Python and TypeScript SDKs both ship with agent.setup_billing, automatic tool-cost capture (track_tool / track_cost), and verified-vs-reported outcome splits. Start with Agents, Signals, Margin, Value Receipts, and the SDK.
• Native Affiliate program. Run your own affiliate program from the dashboard — invite by email, CSV, or share link, ship branded creatives and tracked links, and let referrals auto-attribute through hosted checkout with zero merchant JS. The public marketplace at affiliate.macropay.ai is a searchable directory of live programs. See Affiliates and Setup.
• Affiliate payouts. Manual payout tooling with configurable hold windows, per-affiliate rollups, and one-click PayPal Payouts (opt-in). Pay-with-fee records payouts net of the actual processing fee — no Stripe Connect required. Details in Payouts.
• CRM sync for Salesforce and HubSpot. Connect from Settings → CRM to keep deals in sync with MRR, ARR, total paid, and contract terms. Lifecycle events (new customer, churn, expansion) flow through as they happen. One-click field mapping in the sync settings page.
• Growth: free → paid upgrades. A complete PLG flow ships this week — in-product upgrade with card collection, smart-upgrade triggers based on usage, hard-limit entitlement gates, and a new Growth dashboard for rule CRUD. Two new webhook events, usage.threshold_reached and subscription.upgrade_recommended, let you wire upgrade prompts into your own UI.
• Dispute management. Chargebacks now pull automatically from Stripe with the evidence deadline attached. AI drafts a first-pass evidence response (with safe fallback), routes it through an approval workflow, and posts Slack notifications across the lifecycle. The backoffice shows evidence due-by at a glance.
• MRR Movements + SaaS health metrics. A stacked-bar breakdown of new, expansion, contraction, and churned MRR, plus derived metrics (NRR, GRR, quick ratio) and an Annual Run Rate surface on the analytics home.
• Cohort retention heatmap. Drill into any cohort to see its customer list, filter by country, and export the full matrix as CSV.
• System Errors dashboard. Payment failures are now classified as customer-caused vs system-caused, persisted, and surfaced in a new dashboard widget and page. Merchants get an alert on the first system failure.
• Bulk customer import + paid-outside billing. Import customers in bulk, attach subscriptions that are billed outside Macropay (excluded from revenue), and mark individual orders as paid outside. Useful for migrating an existing book.
• Merchant-created subscriptions. Add a subscription directly from the customer page — charge an existing card on file or track a paid-outside subscription.
• MCP agentic commerce tools. New opt-in tools on mcp.macropay.ai let agents create checkouts and record usage. Off by default — flip the agentic commerce toggle to enable. See MCP agentic commerce.
• x402 agentic payment rails (preview). Initial HTTP 402 support for agent-to-merchant payments, opt-in and off by default. Read more in x402.
• Dark mode toggle. Light/dark toggle now lives in the dashboard topbar and on the login and signup pages.

​

Updates

• Webhooks DX. A test-event button on every endpoint, clearer paid-event copy, and 404 → endpoint redirects. The verification flow is now fully Standard Webhooks compliant, and sandbox email checks have been relaxed for faster local iteration.
• Tax copy. The pricing and tax pages now make it explicit that Macropay — not the merchant — files and remits sales tax, VAT, and GST in every supported jurisdiction.
• Products page performance. Eager-loaded schema relationships cut about 10 seconds off list loads on large catalogs.
• Backoffice approve. Merchant review can now approve an org from any status, including created → active in one click.

​

Fixes

• AI proxy billing, end-to-end. Round-once billing, correct reservation release on cancel, proper streaming usage capture, and FX-normalized AI cost so margin reports match invoices.
• Renewal double-charge. Fixed a race that could charge a renewal twice when a budget overflow retried.
• Checkout reliability. 3DS finalize now has a backup path, stale payment locks are cleaned up, and a reusable payment-method token is persisted on successful charges so re-subscribe keeps the saved card.
• Bank details detection. Saving payout bank details now correctly flips the account to “details submitted,” unblocking promotion to active.
• MCP server. OAuth tokens now resolve correctly and /ai/v1 is rate-limited per key, fixing intermittent 401s and noisy-neighbor throttling.
• Security. Tightened KYC org checks, hardened Didit webhook signature verification, and namespaced idempotency keys per organization.
• Affiliate referral attribution. Referral links now route through a server-side /track endpoint, so attribution works even when buyers block third-party JS.
• Signup access. New customers can now reach the signup page again, and the dark-mode trust panel no longer flashes white before paint.
• Cmd+K. Quick actions refresh on open and show the right set for the current page.

​

This week

​

New

• 3DS for EU / UK / IN cards. Checkout now bridges Basis Theory tokenization to Stripe’s 3DS challenge flow, so European, British, and Indian buyers can complete Strong Customer Authentication without leaving the hosted checkout page.
• Basis Theory is the default for every new organization. All new merchants get Basis-Theory-tokenized card capture out of the box, which keeps PCI scope at SAQ-A. Read more in Basis Theory checkout.

​

Updates

• Faster path to live. Organizations now auto-promote to active as soon as bank-wire MoR prerequisites are satisfied — no more waiting on a separate identity step. The Stripe Identity surface has been removed from onboarding entirely; KYC runs through our in-house document upload.
• LLM inference accepts publishable tokens. Calls to ai.macropay.ai now authenticate with pk_ tokens, so you can proxy OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and OpenRouter from client-side code paths that don’t have a secret key. See LLM inference.
• Approve button restored in backoffice. Orgs in onboarding_started are now actionable from the merchant review queue.

​

Fixes

• No more duplicate charges on retry. The checkout idempotency key now includes the Basis Theory / Stripe confirmation_token, so retried submissions on the same order can’t double-charge a card.
• Payments gated on real bank details. Checkout now blocks payment collection until the merchant’s payout bank account is on file, and surfaces a clear message to the buyer if it isn’t. This prevents successful charges that can’t be paid out.
• Checkout submit reliability. The Basis Theory card element is now consistently discovered at submit time, fixing an intermittent “card not tokenized” error on the first click.
• MCP server stability. Production routing, OAuth client persistence, and tool registration fixes for mcp.macropay.ai — all 53 tools are back online for Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, and Claude Code.

​

Macropay 1.0 — We’re live

​

Merchant of Record, end-to-end

​

Checkout you’d actually link to

• Hosted checkout powered by Basis Theory tokenization — PCI scope drops to SAQ-A, you never touch a PAN.
• Adaptive payment methods: cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA, iDEAL, Bancontact, BLIK, and 25+ local methods that surface automatically by buyer country.
• Currency localization: prices auto-convert with up-to-the-hour FX, displayed in the buyer’s currency, settled in yours.
• One-click upsells post-purchase without re-collecting card details.
• Light-mode-locked checkout page for predictable rendering inside any merchant theme.

​

​

Migrate in under two weeks

​

Developer surface

• REST API with idempotency keys, cursor pagination, and an OpenAPI 3.1 spec.
• Webhooks signed per the standard-webhooks spec — drop-in compatible with most existing webhook frameworks.
• TypeScript SDK + Python SDK, auto-generated from the OpenAPI spec.
• Sandbox mode with a shared test card, simulated webhooks, and test clocks so you can fast-forward subscription cycles.
• Organization Access Tokens (OATs): org-scoped, scope-limited bearer tokens for server-to-server use. Mode-aware (live vs sandbox) and revocable from the dashboard.

​

Onboarding in 4 steps

​

What’s next

• Vector-DB-backed docs search inside the MCP server
