Simplify Your Point of Sale Payments Integration With a Payment API

Many software developers are turning to safer and simpler payment methods as a means of keeping up with the competition and meeting customer’s expectations when it comes to features and functionality. Your [point of sale software can accept payments with a simple point of sale payments integration using an API.

API Basics

First of all, what is an API? An application programming interface, or API, enables you to easily and quickly integrate a payment gateway into your software. On top of that, you don’t have to rewrite code for the different types of payment transactions you want to accept (such as credit, debit, returns, etc). Rather, a single payment gateway that encompasses all transaction types solves that problem.

Cloud technology drove providers to develop a central payment system that uses an integrated solution for better data security and access. Accept payments faster, help prevent fraud and protect cardholder data with a payment API integrated with your point of sale software.

Customizable Features of a Payment API

Besides enabling your software to accept payments securely, you can also customize your API so that it best suits the needs of your customers. This way, you can optimize your point of sale integration to make the process easier. Some features you can add to your payments integration include the following;

• Hosted payments for e-commerce
• Transaction security through point-to-point encryption
• Tokenization technology to access stored cardholder data for recurring transactions
• EMV
• Solutions for processing mobile payments
