Changelog

A docs home that shows the product, and Open in Claude on every page

docs.paybridgenp.com opens on a home page built around the guides merchants actually use, with an API reference overview and new pages for analytics, Fonepay QR, invoice QR, and coupon updates. Every page can be opened in Claude as well as ChatGPT, and llms.txt points AI readers at the current guides.

A new paybridgenp.com, shown with the real product

Every product page now plays a recording of the thing itself rather than a mock-up: the hosted checkout on a desktop, a Shopify order paid through eSewa, a WHMCS invoice's Pay Now opening the checkout on a phone, the payment links dashboard. The provider pages carry eSewa's, Khalti's, and Fonepay's own marks, the money path ends at your merchant bank account, and the eSewa and Fonepay guides on the blog now cover registration, settlement, and the fees merchants report.

Ask Claude or ChatGPT about your payments

The AI assistant page is written for merchants: connect Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor to your account and ask what settled today, which payments failed and why, or which customers are overdue. Connecting from Claude Desktop is a copy-paste. When an assistant asks for access, the consent screen now preselects read-only scopes, so it can look at your data but not move money or change settings unless you tick those on.

Paying your PayBridgeNP invoice is one screen

Upgrade or open an invoice link and you land straight on the Fonepay QR: no provider picker when there is only one way to pay, no second QR if you come back to the same invoice, and your account phone is remembered after the first time. The page carries your invoice number, and Back returns you to Plan & billing.

WooCommerce 1.3.0 and WHMCS 0.3.0

WooCommerce 1.3.0 opens Embedded Checkout on the order-pay page and is live on WordPress.org. WHMCS 0.3.0 adds Fonepay and full refunds from WHMCS admin, alongside eSewa and Khalti.

@paybridge-np/mobile-sdk 1.0.4: one React Native payment sheet for Fonepay, eSewa, and Khalti

Your server creates one amount-bound session and the sheet shows only the methods your project can use. Fonepay QR renders natively with a countdown, a supported bank app opens straight from the sheet, and eSewa and Khalti open in a managed in-app screen. The open-source Demo Shop in the package repo shows the whole flow and runs in Expo Go.

Pay from your bank app in one tap, and never two QRs for one order

Returning buyers see their bank as one entry, and tapping it opens the bank app straight on the payment. Nineteen banks support the direct open; the rest still pay the QR. A checkout now issues one payable QR however often the page reloads, so an order cannot be paid twice by accident.

Dashboard counts the whole ledger, and buyers see your business name

The status tiles on Payments counted only the page you were looking at, so a busy account could show a hundred successes against thousands of payments. They now count everything. Buyers also see your business name where a few surfaces still said Default Project, plus fixes across settings, signup and billing.

Subscription billing is open in test mode on every plan

Build and test the whole billing lifecycle in test mode without upgrading first: plans, subscriptions, invoices, renewals, coupons and dunning. Nothing in test mode can touch a real invoice, and test invoice emails only ever reach your own account email. Live billing still needs a Growth plan.

Embedded Checkout works for carts and per-product prices

The overlay used to need a payment button, and a button holds one fixed price, so a cart total was impossible. Your server can now create a payment for any amount and open it in the overlay with one line of JavaScript. The price comes from your server, so nobody can change it in their browser.

The Providers page explains a paused provider

If a provider stops accepting your saved details, the Providers page now says so in plain words and walks you through reconnecting it, instead of only showing Disabled.

Reconciliation statement: check your books against what actually settled

A new Reconciliation page puts the provider's own settlement figures beside your records for any period: gross, fees, and what reached the bank. Fonepay fees now show the real reported charge instead of assuming zero, and CSV exports cover your full history on every plan.

Shopify: shoppers can reopen a payment link they closed

A shopper who closes the payment tab can reopen it from a page carrying your store's name, and it picks up the checkout already running instead of starting a new one. Connecting your store is also down from seven steps to four.

Embedded Checkout: take payment without sending anyone off your page

Your payment button can open the checkout in an overlay on your own page instead of redirecting. Tick Open over my own page and add your site to the project's embed domains. Existing buttons keep redirecting until you opt them in.

Download everything on your account in one file

A new Your data section in Settings gives account owners a one-click export: profile, projects, payments, refunds, checkout sessions, payment links, buttons, webhook endpoints, and the audit log, all in a single JSON file. Password confirmation is required before the download starts.

id.paybridgenp.com redesigned for shoppers

A full redesign with a live checkout demo, a plain-language section on exactly what a store gets and what PayBridgeNP never sees, and account copy in Nepali and English.

paybridgenp.com redesigned

The whole site moves to a light design, with a new hosted-checkout page at /hosted-checkout featuring real screen recordings of the live product, a changelog-style roadmap, and Nepal's official map closing every page.

Save a passkey at checkout and skip the code next time

After entering their SMS code, a returning buyer can store a passkey in one tap and sign in with a fingerprint or face next time. There is always a Use a code way in.

Payment links recognise returning PayBridgeNP ID buyers

Type your phone on any payment link and a one-tap code fills in your saved name, email and address, so repeat buyers on a shared link stop retyping everything. “Save my info” is offered on links as well.

Hosted checkout recognizes returning buyers from their phone number

As soon as a returning PayBridgeNP ID buyer types their number, a bottom sheet offers a one-tap code to autofill their saved details. The code is auto-detected from the SMS on supported phones, so most buyers never type it.

Renew your plan before it expires

From 7 days out, the reminder email and your dashboard both offer Renew now. The new period starts when the current one ends, so you keep every day you have already paid for.

Fonepay payments show the full settlement story

The payment page shows which bank or wallet the buyer paid from, whether the money is deposited in your bank, the reference number (RRN) banks ask for in disputes, and any fees. Details fill in automatically as Fonepay settles, and Sync with provider refreshes them on demand.

Connect your account to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor

Add PayBridgeNP as a connector on web or mobile without installing anything: sign in and pick exactly what it can see and do. You approve each app on a consent screen, choose the project and read or write access, and can revoke it any time from the dashboard.

Your brand color themes the whole hosted checkout

Buttons, links and the selected payment method all pick it up, text stays readable on any color automatically, and the PDF receipt matches. Upload your checkout and receipt logos straight from the dashboard, and preview the checkout live as you pick a color.

Checkout return redirects always include the payment ID

Every payment method includes it, and the sessions API returns paymentId once a session is paid, so the session ID alone is enough to look up the payment.

Every email redesigned

Receipts, refunds, invoices, reminders and codes get a cleaner look in English and Nepali, sent from clear addresses (receipts@, billing@, id@), with your logo, brand color and support email on buyer emails, and a live preview in the dashboard.

Hosted checkout is now bilingual

A one-tap toggle switches the whole checkout, and your PayBridgeNP ID, between English and Nepali (Devanagari), and it remembers each buyer's choice.

Fonepay app-native checkout (Intent) is live

Buyers open their bank or wallet app straight from checkout to approve the payment instead of scanning a QR. Enabled per merchant on an eligible plan.

eSewa app-native checkout works in live mode

Buyers open the eSewa app directly, with a scan-to-pay QR on desktop, using your own eSewa production credentials on an eligible plan.

Control the PayBridgeNP ID save prompt per project

Turn it on or off from the project's Branding settings, overriding your merchant default.

New plans: Free, Growth, Pro, and Enterprise

Growth at NPR 1,999 and Pro at NPR 4,999, with per-plan SMS receipt allowances, project limits, and volume bands on the pricing page.

Collect a subscription invoice with a Fonepay QR

Generate a scan-to-pay QR for any open invoice; when the customer pays, the invoice is marked paid and the subscription activates automatically. Ideal for in-person or in-app recurring billing.

eSewa payment links open the app directly on mobile

Choosing eSewa on a payment link opens the eSewa app on mobile and shows a scan-to-pay QR on desktop, the same app-native checkout the hosted flow already had.

More reliable refunds

Test-mode refunds complete instantly, failures show a clear reason instead of raw provider errors, and we fixed a rare hang when issuing or syncing a refund.

With a buyer confirmation email, and a clear reason when a refund fails.
