It's been a big quarter at Primer 🚀. Our Product and Engineering teams have shipped a wave of updates, all designed to give merchants greater control and visibility over how they scale payments. Here's a selection of what's new and what it unlocks: 🔹 Merchants now have more control over how they roll out and use network tokens, with the ability to test strategies across PSPs and compare tokenized performance against PANs. 🔹 Our new Reconciliation solution provides a single source of truth across every PSP, payment method, and currency, reducing manual work, increasing accuracy, and making it easier to understand how payments impact the bottom line. 🔹 We've upgraded Monitors to help teams surface issues faster, stay ahead of disruptions, and protect payment performance. 🔹 AI-enabled search now powers our docs, giving teams instant answers and helping them move through integration with less effort and fewer blockers. 🔹 We've expanded our network with new connections: Fintecture (Europe), Shift4 (US), and PIX via dLocal (Brazil), providing merchants with a broader reach and more choice in key markets. We're building the infrastructure to help merchants take control of their payments and grow without limits. 🔗 Learn more: https://primer.io/q2-2025 Gabriel Le Roux | Theo Spyrides | Nikita Mavinkurve | Aladin Taleb | Thomas Pasterk | Christophe Smol | Sarah Brennan
