Develop Your Integration
This is a high-level overview of the available integration models and offer supporting resources such as
SDKs and developer forums.
Getting Started
If you have not already done so, begin by following the steps on the Tech Partner
Requirements page.
After the sandbox account creation process, you will receive a link to log in to the
Enterprise Business Center.
From the Enterprise Business Center, you can create any API keys your integration may
need for testing.
There are other authentication mechanisms available, such as Oauth. If you believe
your integration may benefit from this, refer to the relevant documentation.
Best Practices
As best practice, you are strongly
encouraged to utilise our REST APIs and where possible, use integration mechanisms
designed to safely capture sensitive payment data using our hosted payments fields.
To ensure safety of cardholder data and to reduce PCI requirements for your
customers, you are encouraged to make use of the Microform,
Unified Checkout
, and/or
Tokenization approaches. Legacy APIs, such as Simple Order API, are supported though these APIs may not have
the full feature set.
Note that many regions mandate the use of 3D Secure to
facilitate Strong Customer Authentication. The inclusion of Payer Authentication
should be strongly considered to ensure your software is available in such regions.
There are a multitude of products and services that you may wish to include
in your integration. Consider the needs of your customers when deciding what
functionality to utilise.
If you are unsure of what features you might
include, do not hesitate to Get In Contact with customer support.
