A Payment API Built for Developers
Clean REST API, SDKs in 5 languages, sandbox testing, and sub-second latency — all backed by transparent Network Offset Pricing instead of flat-rate markups.
API Capabilities
Everything you need to build, test, and scale custom payment experiences.
REST API
Clean, RESTful endpoints for charges, refunds, customers, subscriptions, and payouts. JSON request/response format with idempotency keys and pagination.
SDKs in 5 Languages
Official SDKs for Node.js, Python, PHP, Ruby, and .NET. Auto-generated from our OpenAPI spec so they are always in sync with the latest API version.
Tokenization & Vault
Client-side tokenization via Drop-in UI or custom Elements. Card data never touches your servers. Server-side vault API for managing stored payment methods.
Webhooks & Events
Real-time webhook notifications for payments, refunds, disputes, and subscription events. Signed payloads with retry logic for reliable event delivery.
Multi-Method Support
Accept cards, ACH, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and BNPL through a single API integration. One integration, all payment methods.
Sandbox Testing
Full sandbox environment with test card numbers, simulated webhooks, and scenario testing. Test every edge case before going live.
Reporting API
Programmatic access to transactions, settlements, disputes, and revenue data. Build custom dashboards or export to your data warehouse.
Sub-Second Latency
Average authorization latency under 50ms. Our edge network routes requests to the nearest processing node for consistent, sub-second performance.
Based on PaySec merchant data, Q1 2026. Individual results may vary.
“We evaluated five payment APIs. PaySec was the only one with $0 processing fees AND a clean developer experience. Integration took two days, and the sandbox was actually useful — test card behaviors matched production exactly.”
