Adapty is handing paywall construction to coding agents and adding a credits economy underneath
Adapty's Flow & Paywall Builder is now the centre of the product, and August pointed a coding agent at it: a flow-generator skill lets Claude Code, Codex or Copilot CLI read a flow config through the CLI, rewrite it and preview the result. Alongside that, virtual currencies gave the platform a credits primitive, and Refund Saver reached Google Play as chargebacks there started costing developers real money.
Open banking infrastructure maturing into a merchant operations console
TrueLayer publishes a monthly changelog digest alongside individual change notes, so the same item often appears twice in the feed. The recent work is concentrated in Console rather than the payment APIs: a Payments Controller role, a mandates management tab, and a split of the product UI settings into separate configuration and customization tabs.

Two directions are running together. Monetization is broadening past subscriptions into balances and consumables, and authoring is moving from the dashboard toward the terminal and the agent. The one-click legacy paywall migration signals the old builder is being retired rather than maintained.
Expect the agent skill to extend from flows into the rest of the CLI surface — products, placements, campaigns — so a whole monetization setup can be generated and reviewed as config.

The payment rails are treated as settled; the effort has moved to who inside a merchant can operate them. Granular roles, mandate visibility and self-serve UI configuration are all about handing day-to-day control to finance and operations staff instead of the engineers who did the integration. The sweeping limit increase points the same direction — larger, more automated enterprise flows.
Expect the role model to keep subdividing, since Payments Controller was introduced as one named role rather than a permissions system. Further Console surfaces for refunds and payouts are the likely next additions.
