Introducing Waytobill’s Next-Generation API: Built to Reduce Complexity and Power the Shift to Recurring Payments
As we continue to innovate and streamline the payment experience for our users, we’re excited to introduce the Improved Waytobill API 3.0 — our most powerful and value-driven update yet.
“This new API version isn’t just a technical upgrade — it’s a meaningful step forward in helping businesses simplify payment operations, reduce administrative friction, and move confidently toward a recurring-payment-first model. With smarter automation, deeper flexibility, and tools designed to transition from invoices to recurring payments, the updated Waytobill API empowers teams to work more efficiently and deliver a smoother billing experience to their customers.”
— Alejandro Pino, CTO, Waytobill
Solving Real Customer Problems
The Improved Waytobill API addresses some of the most time-consuming and resource-intensive challenges in payment and invoice management:
1. Simplifying invoice administration
Handling underpayments, overpayments, double payments, and other exceptions has long been a burden. Waytobill API 3.0 introduces clearer insight and greater automation, dramatically reducing the time needed to resolve these cases.
2. Improving customer support performance
Support teams gain quicker access to richer, more precise payment data. This leads to faster response times, higher-quality resolutions, and an overall better experience for end customers.
3. Helping end-customers who lost their invoice
With just two clicks, support agents can now resend an invoice or a reminder — a small improvement with big time-saving potential for both teams and customers.
4. Making mid-term changes easier
Upgrades, downgrades, and other mid-term adjustments are now more flexible than ever. Price changes can be applied at nearly any step in the payment cycle, enabling a smoother, more adaptive customer experience.
What’s New in API 3.0: Features That Deliver These Benefits
The updated Waytobill API introduces a range of enhancements built to give businesses and organisations better visibility, better control, and better insight across the entire payment lifecycle.
A more detailed payment timeline
Businesses and organisations can now see not only when a payment was created and executed, but also view the entire reminder process — including each step, status, and outcome.
Better handling of edge cases
Investigating partial payments, overpayments, double payments, and refunds used to be time-consuming. Now, these cases are clearly visualized and easier to understand at a glance.
