Tulo Shop
Our new product Tulo Shop has been launched and can be enabled in your stage environment. The Tulo Shop concept is our commercial interface for your end customers. We aim to provide an attractive, conversion-friendly, and sales-driven buying experience via the
Check-out solution
Campaign landing page
Marketplace
The Tulo Shop concept also comes with a brand-new confirmation page and pre-designed templates that can be adjusted to your preferences. The Tulo Shop is easy to administrate from within the Tulo Admin Portal directly.
This new logic enables you to group campaigns and packages into a single collection in the Payway Admin Portal. Thus, reducing the required work/maintenance when setting up new campaigns and packages. For example, instead of having to set up specific configurations on every package and campaign, you assign them to groups, thus reducing the amount of manual labor and minimizing the risk of human errors.
Tulo Activation is an application suitable for activating a larger amount of digital accounts with digital subscriptions for external companies and organizations with which you have an agreement outside of Payway.
You can use Tulo Activation to set up a separate activation site for a specific company/organization, allowing all of their employees/members to activate a digital account with a digital subscription. The activation site can be branded for your organization and the company/organization and accessed through your URL.
The application comes in two different flavors, file- and email-based activation.
Adyen´s Realtime Account Updater (RTAU) is a great way to reduce involuntary churn. RTAU is used to automatically update your customer’s credit card details when they are about to expire. Hench, if you are using Adyen payment provider for credit card payments, we strongly recommend that you should enable RTAU.
If you already have enabled RTAU for your Merchant Account, please make sure that you have enabled the [Realtime Account Updater Status] under Developers > Additional data in the Adyen Customer Portal. Note that this setting needs to be enabled for every Merchant Account if you have multiple accounts.
Please forward this information to your Domain administrator or to who this may concern.
Tulo Payway will be changing the mail server that sends transactional e-mails to your customers. We will start testing this in the Staging environment in May 2023 and in the Production environment starting from June 1st. 2023.
This requires a change for you in your DNS record for the domain you are using as the sender of transaction e-mails in Tulo Payway. If you have multiple domains and don’t know which domain to change, please contact us for more information.
The following IP should be added to the domains SPF-record:

Hence, we aim to give your new, existing, and previous customers a simple, fast, and smooth buying experience.

Restricting access to Payway Admin is recommended but sometimes challenging for smaller organizations without dedicated IP addresses. Using Tulo VPN you can now restrict access based on IP-address to Payway Admin.
Tulo VPN is a VPN-solution that lets Tulo customers connect securely to our services. Connected to the VPN you will have a dedicated IP-address when working with services on the “worldoftulo.com” domain, making it easy to access IP-address restricted Tulo services.
As you might know, most of the data created in Tulo Payway is available through reports in Tulo Engage BI. In addition, in Tulo Engage BI, you can create your own reports based on Payway data, which is included in the Tulo Payway license.
But what if you have your own data warehouse solution where you create your own reports and analytics for your organization? Could you get your Payway data into that solution so you can continue with your existing solution? The answer to that is YES.
Tulo Engage Exporter can be configured to regularly export your data to your own data warehouse. Currently, available destinations are: Azure Cloud Storage, AWS S3, and Google Cloud Platform, and it’s also possible to transfer directly to your SFTP/FTPS servers on-premise.
