The release of RO Payments 9.0.0 has been announced quite some time ago and after many months of hard work RO Payments 9.0.0 is available. We hope you enjoy this release and we are ready to move forward with the completely renewed RO Payments. Not only is this a completely new version, this is also the last step in rebranding JD iDEAL Gateway to RO Payments.
Migration
Let's start with the most important news, this is a major release and that comes with a migration. There are a lot of changes, small and large. To help you with the migration we have created a number of documents to guide you. To get started with the migration, please check the Migrate to RO Payments 9 document. In case you plan to do a clean installation the Installation RO Payments is a good start.
To get this version, you will have to download the extension and needed plugins from the Download section as the updater will not detect them due to the internal name change. This also prevents your site from accidentally updating to RO Payments 9. We urge everybody to test the migration on a test site first before you move to the live site. Always make sure to create and test a backup before updating a live site.
Notify Script
The notify script has been completely removed in this release, so you will no longer see a message about that or have to whitelist the URL cli/notify.php in your firewall application. Instead there are 2 fixed URLs being used now. The /notify and /customer
