Primitive-First Docs Refresh + Recurring Charges
External docs are being aligned to the current primitive-first BaaS model.
  • Primitive-first positioning: docs now distinguish core primitives from optional rail add-ons.
  • Recurring payments: reviewed payment docs now describe the saved-token recurring flow using customer-present setup charges plus later merchant_initiated renewals.
  • Doc review scope: transfers, payments, cards, virtual accounts, and webhooks are now treated as the reviewed public surfaces while older draft pages are reconciled.

Card Funding Reference Contract Update
Card funding now uses transaction_reference as the preferred request correlation field.
  • Preferred Field: Use transaction_reference / transactionReference for funding retries and reconciliation.
  • Deprecated Alias: Legacy reference is still accepted for backward compatibility, but is now marked deprecated.
  • Migration Guidance: Existing integrations should migrate to transaction_reference to avoid future breaking removal.
