Payment API
The Unified Payment API enables developers and product managers to access payment data from multiple payment platforms through a single, standardized interface. Retrieve payment links, transactions, payouts, refunds, and subscriptions from Stripe, PayPal, Square, and other major payment platforms - all with one API.
What is the Unified Payment API?
Payment platforms like Stripe, PayPal, and Square each have unique APIs with different authentication methods and data models. The Unified Payment API normalizes these differences, allowing you to build once and support all major payment platforms without maintaining separate integrations.
Payment Data Objects
The Payment API provides access to the following standardized objects:
- Links: Payment links and checkout URLs
- Payments: Payment transactions and charges
- Payouts: Transfers, payouts, and disbursements
- Refunds: Refunds, chargebacks, and reversals
- Subscriptions: Recurring payments and subscription billing
