December 2023
As the year draws to a close, we want to extend a huge thank you to all of our partners for what has been an amazing year for eSIM Go. Your trust and support in our solution has been a driving factor in our success and innovation, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
We leave 2023 with a number of improvements and features for tracking payments and order history. These updates will enable you to reconcile your spend and provide valuable insights and data on popular countries and bundles.
Some highlights:
Updated Notifications API 📄including improvements to page format and navigation.
Enhanced Order History Section 📋We’ve updated the eSIM Go Management Portal to include an Order Type showing top-ups and refunds, and a new Running Balance displaying live partner account credit. The export report now supports the option to export all pages, not just data displayed in the current page view. Note: the Running Balance is effective from 14 December 2023, so data before 14 December will not be displayed.
Monthly Statement Report 💰At the end of January all active partners will receive a summary statement of the previous month's transactions. This will allow you to quickly reconcile spending and bundles sold and identify the top sellers. Each report will include:
- Opening Balance at the start of the calendar month
- Total of all credit top-up made for the month
- Total cost of all bundles purchased in the month
- Closing balance
- Any adjustments made
- Summary count of each bundle purchased
- Total bundles purchased
Where a more detailed breakdown is needed by individual bundle sales, you can export the report from the Enhanced Order Section (see above). The first monthly statements will be emailed in early February.
Improved First Use Notification 🌐
Previously we had advised using the 1% bundle usage notification to identify when an end-user bundle had started. For larger bundles, a reasonable amount of data would have to have been consumed before the notification was triggered.
The improved notification is now based on the first 1kb of data. This means you can benefit from better real-time end-user alerts and notifications using the free-to-use Send an SMS to an eSIM API call (now supporting UTF-8 and emojis).
Additional features and fixes
- Management Portal Improvements and Bug Fixes
- API V 2.3 is now available
- Country change notifications API notes updated
- Credit Card holders name bug fixed
Looking ahead, 2024 is brimming with promise. Our carrier team has been working around the clock on new coverage and rates, and we will have some groundbreaking new plans to share in the New Year. We are also in the process of finalising our 2024 feature roadmap and we have some big surprises planned that we can't wait to share with you.
As ever, if there’s something you think we should add to the next release, or if you have any ideas on how we could do things better, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the team at product@esim-go.com.
Thank you again for your support in 2023 and hope you enjoy a well-deserved break over the festive season. We look forward to working with you in 2024!
