| Customers API: |
Customer object - The cards field will be retired in Square API version 2024-12-18. This field is replaced by the ListCards and ListGiftCards endpoints with the customer_id query parameter.
Note that the retirement date for the deprecated CreateCustomerCard and DeleteCustomerCard endpoints isn't currently scheduled, but you should migrate to the Cards API and Gift Cards API as soon as possible. |
|
|
|
| Gift Card Activities API: |
| Starting November 1, 2024, compliance limits are changing for France, Ireland, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Square enforces compliance limits for gift card activities that load funds onto digital or physical gift cards. |
|
|
|
| Refunds API: |
| RefundPayment endpoint - New cash_details and external_details properties to record additional required details about cash and external refunds respectively. |
|
|
|
| Web Payments SDK: |

| (Beta) New Payment Flow for EMV 3-D Secure compliance in Japan |
|
| The Japan Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) has mandated that all eCommerce credit card transactions processed in Japan must comply with EMV 3-D Secure by March 31, 2025. If your app processes payments through the Web Payments SDK and Payments API to serve sellers in Japan, you will need to support buyer verification prior to this date. We have introduced a new payment flow to help you comply. While it is currently in beta, there are no breaking changes or further updates needed when it transitions to GA. |
