March 2023 - Important updates 🚀

✨ New feature additions

Metadata

To gather additional analytics for your customers, this feature has been added. In a structured format, you can use this object to store additional information in key-value pairs about the checkout link object.

LN.Dev
We have launched our Lightning testnet payment app to easily test Speed integration. Each account will have a test 10,000 SATs, which can be used in the Speed account to check if the integration is done properly. 

Withdraw
You can now send money to your clients! Use these withdrawal APIs to send funds to your customers via the lightning network if you have an online retail store, marketplace, SaaS, e-commerce, B2B, or B2C. You can specify an expiration date, and the customer can paste the LNURL whenever they want, resulting in a seamless transaction with a single withdrawal request.

🪄 Feature enhancements

Payment 
To improve the consumer experience, an additional feature has been added to your payment link. You can include a success message thanking your customer for their payment or a URL that redirects them to your preferred page.

Speed.JS
Version 2 is out! The new version contains 3 new parameters

• Success Message: When the payment is successfully done, you can use this parameter to thank them with a customized message. `Success_url` and `success-message` are mutually exclusive request parameters—only one of them can be used.

• Payment method: We offer both on-chain & lightning network payment options for customers to choose from.

• Metadata: To help you gather additional data, this parameter has been added which you easily add or remove while integrating.

Source

This has been added so you can get detailed information about the payment received, whether it is from an application or website.
