White label payment gateway development. API for developers

beGateway API

White label payment gateway development is based on API. API stands for Application Programming Interface and is a set of queries and responses that any external source (an online store, a market place, a mobile or a desktop application, etc.) can use for communication between their own software and the processing system software based on beGateway platform to accept online payments.

Since the processing system deals with confidential data (customer billing details, names, addresses, phone numbers, etc.), beGateway platform API is restricted for safety reasons. This means that all API request to the processing system based on beGateway platform will require authorization; the authorization data will be available to the merchant only after their registration with your payment service is complete.

On the other hand, there is a special test data in beGateway white label payment processing platform API which is available without registration, if you wish to test or debug API integration. This test data allows you to create API requests to the processing system and get real API responses.

Your new processing system API will be based on JSON structure to make it very simple, easy for your customers to read, understand and use, if it is based on beGateway platform.

Examples

As you can see, there’s nothing complicated and you don’t have to be a pro.
