May 2026 Changelog
Blog post from Basis Theory
May’s updates introduce self-service merchant onboarding, expanded Stripe wallet migration, and several token vault improvements. Customers can now create Merchants and enroll in Account Updater and Network Token services directly through the Customer Portal, with per-network status tracking and support for multiple independent merchant configurations under one tenant. The Stripe Forwarding API now migrates Apple Pay and Google Pay device payment account numbers as corresponding wallet resources, allowing merchants to move wallet credentials alongside card tokens without file exports or associated Stripe risk reviews. Network Token provisioning can now include expiration details inline when legacy card tokens lack them, while card data responses also provide product codes. In addition, Token Intents now accept client-side encrypted card payloads, enabling browser-based encryption, validation, and persistent token creation without exposing plaintext card data to backend systems.
