New Features
AFP Store & Payment Method Configuration
The Adyen for Platforms boarding flow now automatically creates stores and configures payment methods for each merchant during onboarding:
- Automatic store creation — a new "Create Store" step runs during boarding, mapping merchant data (name, address, business line) to an Adyen store and persisting the store ID for future reference
- Payment method configuration — after store creation, default US payment methods (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, JCB, Diners, ACH) are automatically configured for each merchant's store
PCI Questionnaire for Adyen for Platforms
Boarding forms for Adyen for Platforms now support displaying the AFP PCI Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) as an embedded step in the boarding flow. To enable this, set the displayPciSaq boolean to true during form creation. This feature is exclusive to Adyen for Platforms connections.
Improvements
Boarding Forms - Enhanced Form Tab Validation & Navigation
Owner and bank account tabs in the boarding form are now smarter and more helpful:
- Cross-tab validation on Save & Continue — clicking Save & Continue now validates all owners/accounts across all tabs, not just the active one. Clickable error banners appear for each tab with issues, and tab indicators turn red with error counts
- Real-time inline validation — tab status updates in real time as merchants type, accounting for both required-field and format validation errors (email, SSN, routing number, etc.). A tab only shows "Complete" when all required fields are filled and zero validation errors exist
- Auto-select first incomplete tab — when returning to a partially completed form, the first incomplete owner or account tab is automatically selected so merchants can pick up where they left off
Boarding Forms - Review & Submit Step Guidance
The KYC boarding form Review step now displays "Review & Submit" in the stepper and includes an amber informational banner prompting merchants to click Submit — reducing form abandonment at the final step.
Boarding Forms - Improved Add Owner Button Discoverability
The owner tab bar is now sticky, keeping the "Add Owner" button visible at all times as merchants scroll. A new "Add Another Owner" dashed card CTA at the bottom of each owner's form provides an additional, prominent way to add owners — with the legal requirement text consolidated into the CTA itself.
Boarding Forms -Non-blocking Notification Toasts
Blocking info/message modals in the boarding form have been replaced with non-blocking notification toasts, matching the pattern already used throughout the rest of the application. Merchants are no longer forced to click "Close" before continuing after an error message. Destructive confirmation dialogs (delete owner, account, attachment) remain unchanged.
Bug Fixes
Boarding Forms
- Fixed missing character counters on Business Information fields (Merchant DBA, Legal Business Name, Website) that were hidden due to a missing
