Integrate online payments quickly with PAYSTRAX. Choose a server-to-server REST API or a ready-made COPYandPAY JavaScript widget – both built for fast, secure setup that fits your business.
One API, multiple ways to integrate payments
The PAYSTRAX Open Payment Platform brings every payment feature and front-end widget together in a single, unified RESTful API. Whether you integrate directly server-to-server or drop in our ready-made JavaScript widget, you connect once and start accepting cards, digital wallets, and alternative payment methods online. Explore the integration methods below and choose the one that fits your business and technical setup.
Choose your payment integration method
Enhanced flexibility allows us to cater to diverse business preferences and technological infrastructures.
API server-to-server integration
Our server-to-server API integrates payment acceptance directly into your platform, giving you fully flexible front-end and back-end workflows. Best for businesses with development resources that need maximum control and customisation.
COPYandPAY JavaScript widget
COPYandPAY is the PAYSTRAX JavaScript payment widget. It sends sensitive card data directly from the shopper's browser to the Open Payment Platform, reducing your PCI DSS scope and speeding up setup. Best for businesses that want a secure, low-code checkout. COPYandPAY also supports Click to Pay, letting shoppers check out with their Visa or Mastercard account instead of typing card details manually.
