# Release 2024.05

New features, enhancements and updates that Payrexx has implemented in the May 22, 2024 release.

In this release, we have once again implemented exciting new features and optimizations in Payrexx, which we present to you in this article.

## Optimizations

### QR Pay improvements

* QR code scan functionality with TWINT app can be activated individually for each QR code: The Payrexx QR payment codes can also be scanned directly with the TWINT app. Merchants can now specify individually for each QR code whether this function should be activated. The corresponding checkbox is displayed when a new QR payment code is created.

* Notifications about incoming payments can be defined individually: A new field in the QR Pay tool allows you to individually define recipients for incoming payment notifications for each QR payment code. You can find this option when creating a new QR code or when editing an existing QR code.

* QR code information in the transaction detail view: The transaction detail view now shows when a customer has paid via QR payment code. Instead of "Default API Key", the name of the corresponding QR payment code is now displayed for the payment channel. The QR payment code is also linked directly so that you can access it quickly. You can also see how many payments have been made per QR code and currency on the QR code details page.

### Division of the German language into German (DE) and German (CH)

We have expanded the language selection for retailers: You can now choose between German (DE) and German (CH) in the administration dashboard and at checkout.

### Simplification of the merchant API

* JSON format for API queries: API queries can now be made in the simpler and widely used JSON format. This makes it easier for other programs to communicate with our software and exchange information.
* Authentication with X-API-KEY header: Programs that want to exchange information must first authenticate themselves. They can now do this using a special API key. This key is simply sent in a message to prove authorization for the exchange. This simplifies the authentication process compared to previous methods.

### Payment method SOFORT becomes Klarna

The external payment provider SOFORT and the payment method SOFORT in Payrexx Pay Plus will be renamed [Klarna](/merchant/english/payment-provider/payrexx-pay/payment-methods/klarna.md). This change is taking place because Klarna has acquired SOFORT. For you as a merchant, apart from the name and logo, nothing will change in terms of functions and integrations.

### Payment method bob invoice now completely removed

On May 1, the bob invoice payment method was completely removed. So that you can continue to offer your buyers invoice and installment payments, Payrexx offers alternative payment methods: [Purchase on Invoice](/merchant/english/payment-provider/payrexx-pay/payment-methods/purchase-on-invoice.md), [HeyLight](/merchant/english/payment-provider/external-payment-provider/creditcards/heylight.md) and [Ideal Payment](/merchant/english/payment-provider/external-payment-provider/wallets-and-more/ideal-payment.md).

## Coming Soon

### Coming Soon: New JTL plugin

We are working on a new JTL plugin that will offer more functions and options than the previous one so that JTL users can also use Payrexx smoothly.

### Coming Soon: New feature for QR Pay

A brand new feature will soon be added to the [QR Pay](/merchant/english/account/tools/qr-pay.md) tool.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/release-notes/release-notes-2024/release-2024.05.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
