New Features

Deprecations
SagePay Module Deprecation and Updates
Due to anticipated changes from Opayo (formerly Sage Pay) to their SCA and 3DSv2 API implementations, we have updated the related payment gateway modules.
- If you use the SagePay or SagePay Repeats modules, you can continue using them with no further action. These modules are fully compatible with both the old and new API implementations.
- The existing SagePay Tokens module will not function with the new API implementation. To address this issue, WHMCS 8.4.1 includes a new SagePay Tokens v2 module.
To continue using SagePay Tokens as a payment gateway, you must migrate to this new module.
These changes alter the tokenization services that Opayo (and therefore the SagePay Tokens v2 module) offer:
- The gateway can only tokenize and store credit cards when the client is making a payment.
- Opayo has discontinued the card vault feature.
