Removal of “Trials” Category:
All Trials products were removed from our platform to make way for more production-ready products. That means searching for products under the “Trials” category is disabled from the API Category Filter on the “Browse All APIs” page (https://developer.visa.com/apibrowser).
API Reference Design:
All products on Visa Developer now include a new API Reference layout and format. The launch was done to ensure we have the latest functionality available for our API owners and end users.
Biggest benefits of this new functionality include:
Visa Mobile APIs are intended to enable any eligible issuers or partners to provide new method of ecommerce payments. Thanks to Visa Mobile, customers will be able to store their Visa cards in one place and use them to make payments online in 3 simple steps.
For issuers, this API brings possibility to integrate their mobile apps with Visa Mobile solution and Visa Mobile standalone application – allowing their customers to use it as a quick payment method for shopping online. Payment providers will gain new method of paying online, based on phone number - that is quick, yet safe.

What’s New:
· Date and Time: Alias resolution logic has been enhanced to capture the UTC date and time when a payment instrument is set as the default payment instrument for receiving funds. The date and time will be used when comparing results from third-party directories to ensure that the most recent result is returned to the requestor.
· Clear Optional Fields: The Visa Alias Directory Service will now allow clients to clear optional fields using Update Alias by submitting a blank field.
· Expiry Date: Effective May 26, 2021, clients in Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan must provide an expiration date of the PAN when using the Create Alias API. Expiry Date is a conditional field. This change makes Expiry Date of the PAN a mandatory field for clients in Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. This field will remain optional for clients in all other markets.
Welcome to the Visa Developer April 2021 Release Notes that include key features introduced in this release.
Visa Crypto APIs:
The Visa Crypto APIs are intended to enable any eligible issuers to provide buying, selling, and custody of digital currencies (initially bitcoin) to their customers directly from their native digital products. The solution can give issuers the tools to attract new customers as well as increase engagement for their current base by offering crypto features that come without the heavy implementation lift. Visa intends for its Visa Crypto APIs to offer real-time price quotes, best-price order execution, and a secure ledger of assets that are built to work with any front-end user experience. For issuers looking to keep their crypto-minded users within their product ecosystem, these APIs could bring the capabilities they need and the confidence to scale with Visa as their trusted partner in the rapidly evolving space of crypto.
Note: This is currently rolled out as a restricted product in Sandbox only. If you are interested in using testing Visa Crypto APIs, please contact your sales representative or email [email protected].

The Visa In-App Provisioning Software Development Kit (SDK) simplifies the technical integration requirements necessary to push consumer card credentials seamlessly from within a mobile app directly to Apple PayTM, Google PayTM and Samsung PayTM. The SDK provide a seamless, secure method for cardholders to pass their card details from the client’s mobile app to the wallet of their choice, eliminating the need to enter their card information separately. For issuers and mobile app developers, the SDK improves speed to market, reduces expense, and removes the complexity of direct integration to multiple mobile wallets.
The Visa In-App Provisioning SDK can play a critical role in easily enabling digital provisioning flows for clients who are looking to support digital issuance use cases across the card account life cycle.

Production onboarding is the final step to launch your solution. When you are ready, we will guide you through our onboarding workflow to help ensure that the end product meets our expectations before we provide access to our network.
While every solution is unique, each VDP API product has well-defined principles for onboarding acceptance. Some projects can move to production in as little as two weeks, while others may take multiple months. The onboarding schedule depends primarily on factors such as Sandbox readiness, API Product complexity, and commercialization prerequisites. A firm estimate can only be provided after Visa understands your design and requirements. Once your solution is approved and available for your customers, we’re here to support you should issues arise in production.
Refer to Visa Developer Onboarding for more details.
