Partial Outage

Affected: Payouts and Settlement

Merchant payouts will be migrated to our new clearing partner. During this window settlement batches will not run and payouts will not be submitted. Balances, collections and card payments are unaffected. Any payout due during the window will be included in the next batch once maintenance completes.

PostgreSQL major version upgrade

Expected impact
Degraded Performance

Affected: Data Services, Merchant Gateway API, Collections

We will upgrade our primary database cluster to PostgreSQL 16. The upgrade uses a replica promotion, so we expect a single write interruption of under two minutes rather than a full maintenance window. API reads remain available throughout. Payments initiated during the switchover will be queued and processed immediately afterwards rather than declined.
