We have just enabled two new Toolkit functions that we think will be of great interest to our registrars:

• The list_outstanding_domains allows you to retrieve a list of all outstanding invoice items for unpaid registrations and renewals
• The submit_payment_batch function allows you to create a payment batch of outstanding domain items and notify us tha you're planning to remit payment via bank transfer or cheque

The upshot of this is that it is now possible for registrars to automate the process of keeping their account up-to-date, minimising the amount of human intervention.

These new functions are also available via the Perl and PHP libraries - consult the relevant cookbook for more information. The relevant releases of these libraries (0.23 for Perl and 0.0.23 for PHP) are available from the downloads page.

Finally, these functions are also available to EPP-based registrars who ordinarily cannot access Toolkit functions.
