.NET SDK v5.0 Release Notes

We have recently released version 5.0 of the Windows .NET SDK. The SDK continues to support .NET 4.0 and .NET 4.5.

Updated BaseTransactionRequest

Several classes now include the ExternalReferenceId property. This can be used to associate a Clover transaction with the merchant's order identifier (such as an invoice or purchase order number).

BaseTransactionRequest.ExternalReferenceId
Authorization.ExternalReferenceId
Credit.ExternalReferenceId
PayIntent.ExternalReferenceId
Refund.ExternalReferenceId

Updated RetrievePendingPaymentsResponse

The RetrievePendingPaymentsResponse class was updated with two new properties: ExternalPaymentId and TipAmount. ExternalPaymentId contains the identifier sent by the POS with the original transaction request. When reconciling pending offline payments, the POS can use this identifier to locate and finish any pending payments.

Removed and deprecated features

There are no new items added to the deprecated features.

The planned deprecation announced with v2.0 is repeated here:

.NET 4.0 platform - In a future release, we will no longer develop and deliver a .NET 4.0 backward-compatible platform release.

For all of the deprecated features and platforms, the code remains available and is anticipated to work with minor updates to keep it in sync with the underlying Clover Connector SDK in .NET 4.5 and future versions. Developers needing this feature should be able to adapt and extend that code to meet their specific needs.
