FamGateway Platform Changelog (Q3 2026): Passkeys, PyPI Python SDK, Sentry Telemetry & Automated PDF Receipts

At FamGateway, our mission is to build India's fastest, most reliable, and completely fee-free UPI automation ecosystem for developers, bot creators, and solo entrepreneurs. In our largest release cycle of the year (Q3 2026), we have deployed transformative upgrades spanning biometric authentication, official SDK packaging, legal compliance, and real-time site reliability engineering.

Here is the complete chronological changelog of features, security hardenings, and developer tools shipped to production.

1. FIDO2 / WebAuthn Biometric Passkeys (Passwordless Security)

Traditional passwords remain the number one attack vector for online credential theft. To provide institutional-grade protection for our merchants, FamGateway introduced native FIDO2 / WebAuthn Biometric Passkeys:

• 1-Second Biometric Auth: Merchants can log into their FamGateway dashboard using Apple Touch ID, Face ID, Android Fingerprint, or Windows Hello.
• Hardware Secure Enclave Isolation: Private cryptographic keys never leave your physical device's security chip, rendering accounts completely immune to phishing and credential stuffing.
• Multi-Device Sync: Passkeys sync securely across your Apple iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, or hardware security keys (YubiKey).

2. Official Python SDK Released on PyPI (pip install famgateway)

While developers previously wrote raw requests.post or cURL scripts, FamGateway now officially maintains an enterprise Python package published directly on the Python Package Index (PyPI):

pip install famgateway

The official SDK brings type hints, automatic session pooling, object-oriented models, and built-in cryptographic webhook verification:

from famgateway import FamGateway

fg = FamGateway(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

# Create a dynamic payment order in 3 lines
order = fg.create_order(amount=499.00, customer_name="Rohan Sharma")
print("Hosted Checkout URL:", order.checkout_url)
print("Dynamic QR Code URL:", order.qr_url)

# Built-in webhook signature verification
is_authentic = fg.verify_webhook(raw_payload_bytes, signature_header)

3. Automated Official PDF Receipts with Govt. MSME Verification

Merchants collecting payments online require legally sound, professional proof of transaction for their buyers and accounting books. We rolled out an automated PDF generation subsystem (includes/ReceiptPdf.php):

• Government MSME Recognition: Every generated receipt includes the official Udyam Registration Number (UDYAM-BR-28-0050000) under ARYANISPE, certified by the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Government of India.
• Base64 Email Attachment: When a payment is confirmed, FamGateway's outbound SMTP engine compiles the PDF in volatile memory and attaches it as Receipt_{order_id}.pdf to the merchant alert email.
• On-Demand Web Download: Receipts can be viewed and downloaded directly via /transaction-details.php?id={order_id}&download=pdf.

4. Enterprise SRE Observability & Distributed Sentry Telemetry

To guarantee 99.99% payment verification availability, we integrated the official Sentry PHP SDK across our backend daemons:

• Zero-Latency Error Capture: Unhandled exceptions capture complete diagnostic stack traces and memory profiles in real-time.
• Chronological Breadcrumbs: Track order creation, IMAP socket connections, and webhook queue dispatches to diagnose edge-case banking anomalies in seconds.
• Public Status Dashboard: Real-time independent multi-region health checks powered by HetrixTools at famgateway.in/status.php.

5. Dashboard UI & UX Polish

In addition to backend infrastructure, we rolled out multiple interface refinements across the merchant dashboard:

• Dynamic IMAP Connection Status: The "Configure IMAP" button switches to a verified green badge once your Gmail App Password is authenticated.
• Context-Aware Guarding: Unconfigured tabs (like Webhooks) now display clear setup prompts, preventing configuration errors before email linking.
• Pixel-Perfect Data Grids: Aligned padding across all transaction and webhook log tables for cleaner readability on high-density displays.
• Direct WhatsApp Support: Instant one-tap access to technical support directly from the dashboard navigation.
