Direct API Integration
If you would like to hyper-personalize the user journey of your clients or would like to have full control over the transaction or manage your own payment pages, you must use the Direct APIs. Our Direct APIs allow you to host server-to-server payment requests, and help you process all payment operations directly. You can directly execute any type of payment request such as authentication, payments, refunds, cancellations and so on.
Our Direct API collection is beneficial for any merchant who would like to handle complex payment operations while wanting to have full control over their payment flow and transactions. With Direct API integration, you can customize your design and checkout journey as desired. One of the key advantages of integrating with this method is that the user experience is not disrupted by a redirection to a third-party page, but payments can be made directly on your website or mobile app.
Kindly note this method of integration requires a sizeable additional effort compared to other integration methods.

Integrating with Direct APIs requires additional technical expertise and resources to implement and maintain. If you opt for this option, you might need the help of a developer to ensure a smooth and flawless integration process.
Please integrate with all APIs as server to server calls. Do not call APIs from your front-end application.
