Integrating payments is made easier with user-friendly online
resources
LONDON, MONTREAL and NEW
YORK, Nov. 25, 2014 /CNW
Telbec/ - Optimal Payments (LSE AIM: OPAY), a leading global online
payments provider, has launched its new Developer Centre and a
suite of REST-based APIs, enabling developers to easily integrate
e-commerce Websites and payment applications with NETBANX® payment
gateway solutions. The launch is phase one of a long-term
commitment to providing developers with the latest payment
integration solutions.
The Optimal Payments Developer Centre is a user-friendly and
sales-free environment where developers can search through
REST-based API documentation, access code examples and integrate
and test responses in a matter of minutes. Registered users can
comment on both the documentation and blog posts. Technical support
is provided via online chat and email.
Danny Chazonoff, chief operating
officer, Optimal Payments said, "With the launch of the Developer
Centre and REST-based APIs, we are delivering on our commitment to
provide best-in-class developer tools, effectively empowering the
developer community with the ability to integrate the latest
payment solutions more efficiently."
Developers now have instant access to test accounts, with one
unified API key for three REST-based APIs (Card Payments, Customer
Vault and Hosted Payments), to simulate the payment process.
The Card Payments API allows developers to implement a
wide variety of transaction requests – including purchases, refunds
and authorization reversals, gain output in JSON format to work
with a wide variety of web and mobile applications, and use any
language or platform to make requests through standard HTTP
protocols.
The Customer Vault API gives developers the ability to
implement customer profile management and use tokenization to
process transactions. Merchants using customer profile management
can offer their customers a streamlined and quick checkout
experience. Those using tokenization benefit from having sensitive
cardholder information safely stored in Optimal Payments' PCI Level
1 compliant environment and, by not being exposed to the payment
card data, merchants significantly reduce the scope of their PCI
DSS compliance requirements.
The Hosted Payments API now comes with new, easy to use
and streamlined style documentation, for those who want to accept
payments through NETBANX hosted payment pages. Optimal Payments
offers three flexible PCI compliant hosted payment solutions,
Direct Post, Page Redirect and iFrame and merchants can choose the
hosted payment option that best suits their business model and PCI
compliance requirements.
