The endpoint now returns `HTTP 200` whenever a 3DS result is available for the supplied xid or merchant\_transaction\_id, including: * Frictionless results from challenge flows * Pending challenges with status `CHALLENGE_REQUIRED` * Available Data-Only/Data Share results The endpoint continues to return `HTTP 404` when the supplied identifiers are incorrect or when no authentication result is available. Key Benefits: * More consistent result retrieval: Retrieve an available 3DS result without waiting for a challenge flow to be completed. * Improved pending-challenge visibility: Receive an `HTTP 200` response with status `CHALLENGE_REQUIRED` when a challenge is still pending. * Support for Data-Only results: Retrieve available Data-Only/Data Share results through the same endpoint. * Clearer transaction-status handling: Use the response event and status fields to determine the transaction’s current state and outcome. Integration Guidance: Integrations should not rely solely on `HTTP 200/404` status codes to determine the transaction outcome. For `HTTP 200` responses, use the response event and status fields. If you have not yet implemented the 3DS Check endpoint, review the recommended[ implementation guidance](https://docs.verygoodsecurity.com/cmp/products-and-services/3ds/3ds-authentication#using-3ds-check-for-completed-challenges). #### **VGS Dashboard Enhancements** In August 2026, VGS delivered the following enhancements to the [VGS Dashboard](http://dashboard.verygoodsecurity.com/cmp):
* Enhanced net-new user onboarding flow: When a new user enrolls their Identity, they are able to create their first Organization and Sandbox tenant in a single guided flow through the VGS Dashboard. * Support for Observability to enable monitoring of proxy latency, request volume, status codes, record operations, and failed reveal metrics. * Support for self-service SDK enablement for Branded Domain certificate types * Support for existing legacy code in the Routes form editor, preserving existing Routes configured through Compute. * Easier navigation across the VGS Dashboard and legacy Vault dashboard experience through informational banners * Comprehensive event analytics to support improved visibility on user behavior. * Support for ‘Select All’ optionality for webhook notifications events list categories to support faster client task success. {% endupdate %} {% update date="2026-07-31" tags="cmp,user-experience,secure-data,data" %} ## July 2026 Release Notes #### **Drop Zones** In July 2026, VGS released a feature for automatically creating SFTP endpoints for customers to send or receive large files with customers. Use cases include migrations, batch enrollments, batch updates, and [reports](https://docs.verygoodsecurity.com/enterprise-platform/core-platform/reports). [Learn more](https://docs.verygoodsecurity.com/enterprise-platform/developer-resources/drop-zones). * Key Benefits: * Provides support for bulk data imports and scheduled detail reports delivery * Provides PCI scoped infrastructure for secure storage of sensitive data #### **Scheduled Detail Reports** In July 2026, VGS delivered support for scheduled detail reports. Scheduled detail reports enable customers to receive granular, event-level data on a recurring schedule. Reports are configured upon request and delivered securely through Drop Zones, the new VGS feature that automatically provisions an SFTP endpoint for file delivery.
* Key Benefits: * Supports recurring reporting based on the customer’s preferred schedule * Provides access to more granular detailed event data On July 31, VGS delivered support for Backbook Processing Flag.\ \ The Create Card API will support an optional request-level flag to indicate that a card should be treated as backbook traffic. When the flag is not provided, cards will continue to follow the account-level enrollment configuration. For example, if the account is configured for on\_create, NT and/or AU processing will continue to trigger during card creation as it does today. When the backbook flag is provided, the Create Card API will only create/load the card and will not trigger immediate downstream NT or AU processing, even if the account is configured for on\_create. Instead, the card will be marked as backbook traffic and made eligible for later asynchronous processing by BEE.
* Key Benefits: * Enables customers to use the same Create Card API for both frontbook and backbook traffic * Prevents immediate NT and/or AU processing for backbook cards during card creation * Preserves backbook context so BEE can identify, batch, process, and track these cards separately * Reduces the need for separate file-based migration flows * Keeps existing frontbook behavior unchanged when the flag is not provided * Supports cleaner migration and backbook processing workflows while maintaining account-level enrollment behavior for normal card creation #### **Dashboard Enhancements - Unified VGS Dashboard** In July 2026, the CMP Dashboard achieved feature parity with the legacy Vault Dashboard. This enables all client users to leverage current VGS technical tooling and capability from a single dashboard experience. [Learn more](https://docs.verygoodsecurity.com/cmp/platform/overview/vgs-dashboard).
* Key Benefits: * Eliminated need to context-switch across different dashboard experiences. * Streamlined sidebar navigation with improved context * Enhanced Live and Sandbox Tenant creation flows * Simplified Tenant targeting when applying features and tools * Improved logical groupings for Organization- and Tenant-level Settings * Improved Onboarding flow for net-new users * Refreshed UI design consistent with VGS branding * **No client effort required to migrate** — all existing user identities, Orgs, tenants, and configuration settings remain the same {% endupdate %} {% update date="2026-06-26" tags="user-experience,cmp,data" %} ## ## June 2026 Release Notes * #### **Support for Format Preserving PAN Alias** * On 6/26/2026, VGS released support for **format-preserving PAN Alias**. * Format-preserving PAN alias support allows CMP to return `pan_alias` in a configured format at the account level. With this configuration enabled, customers can choose a supported `pan_alias` format that better fits their integration needs. [Learn more.](/cmp/payment-credentials/cards.md#supported-card-alias-formats)
* **Key Benefits** * Keeps CMP compatible with systems that already depend on a specific alias format. * Reduces migration impact for customers using GENERIC\_T\_FOUR format * #### **Dashboard Enhancements** * The [CMP Dashboard](https://dashboard.verygoodsecurity.com/cmp) now supports additional existing capability found in the [Vault Dashboard](https://dashboard.verygoodsecurity.com) experience. [Learn more](/cmp/platform/overview/vgs-dashboard.md).
* **Dashboard parity** * From the CMP Dashboard, users can now: * Initiate the process of Org Activation * Create new Organizations * Org admins can manage read/write/access permissions on the vault/tenant leveL * Org admins can Delete Vault/Tenants * Org admins can Rename Vault/Tenants
* **Minor enhancements** * Usage Reports - Added support for Amex + Discover * PAN Alias format available in Tenant Settings * Account Validation enablement available in Tenant Settings
* **Key Benefits** * Reduced the need for users to context-switch across experiences to access tools * Progress towards a unified dashboard experience. {% endupdate %} {% endupdates %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
