  • Trust Notification
    • SLAS Infrastructure and scale improvements to handle higher transaction volume for the upcoming holiday season.
    • Improvements to Trusted System on Behalf (TSOB) flow to be able to better handle simultaneous requests.
    • As part of our efforts to scale the SLAS service for the upcoming holiday volume, temporarily, starting the week of August 7, registered shopper refresh tokens (existing and new) are valid for only 45 days, instead of the earlier validity of 90 days.

This temporary state ends on September 15. After September 15, registered shopper refresh tokens will resume their full 90 day, standard duration. Shopper Guest sessions and B2C Commerce basket retention is not affected in any way.
