Product Updates: May 2026

May's releases give you more control over how you build with Balance, deeper visibility into how your integration runs, and new commercial levers to drive more buyer spend and payment conversion.

Here’s what’s new.

Composable Payment Forms with Balance Blocks

Balance Blocks lets you embed a fully flexible, composable payment form directly on your pages, with no redirect and no iframe. Choose exactly which fields to collect: card details, billing address, shipping address. Match the form to your brand.

The composable design means each element can be placed and configured independently, giving you precise control over the payment collection experience. Balance Blocks works at checkout for payment processing and at account onboarding to collect a payment method during account creation.

A Faster, More Intuitive Payment Experience, Optimized for Mobile

We've released a new payment experience rebuilt from the ground up with an improved mobile interface: auto-pay enabled by default, a new inline add-payment-method modal, and two new payment options: partial payments and installments.

The same experience runs across every payment surface: checkout, buyer portal, and payment method setup and management.

The result is a faster, more intuitive buying experience, built to streamline payment management and improve conversion at checkout and onboarding.

Every API Call and Webhook, Visible and Actionable

Every API request and webhook delivery is now searchable, filterable, and retryable from the Balance dashboard under the new Developer Tools tab. Logs are scoped by vendor, buyer, transaction, or invoice. Webhook delivery includes a full audit trail with filter, search, and resend.

For developers, this means faster debugging and issue resolution. For operations, it means real-time visibility into integration health and transaction workflows, enabling issues to be caught and escalated before they affect buyers.

This feature is now available in beta in the merchant dashboard.

Lower Financing Fees for Select Buyers with Buyer-Level DSO Protection

Balance now supports DSO protection at the buyer level, meaning that for transactions by specific buyers, Balance pays you on the due date at a lower financing fee, while other transactions are funded immediately at standard rates.

For merchants who pass financing fees to buyers, this enables selective buyer upgrades: lower-risk buyers can be moved to lower financing fees, creating a direct incentive to spend more at checkout.

Upgrades are enabled via API. Buyers are notified by automated email when their status changes, their updated rates are automatically reflected at checkout, and each buyer's upgrade or downgrade status and fees are visible in the Buyer Portal.
