Seamless API integration

What’s this about?

When inte­grat­ing with PayLane sys­tems you can choose one of two meth­ods: ready-to-go solu­tions (Secure Form), or inte­gra­tion using our API. The first option is quicker and eas­ier to imple­ment, but requires redi­rect­ing cus­tomers to another site.

The sec­ond one takes a lit­tle more time, but once you imple­ment it, you and your cus­tomers will ben­e­fit. First of all, they’ll be able to pay on your web­site. It’s like in real life — you don’t go some­where else to pay after pur­chas­ing your gro­ceries, so why should you do so in an e-store? Plus you’ll be able to use value-added ser­vices like recur­ring billing or Card Data Stor­age. And that’s a big plus.

What does it mean?

If you inte­grate via the PayLane API, com­plet­ing a pay­ment on your web­site will be quick and easy. Your cus­tomers won’t be asked to fill in more than one form just one time – mean­ing they won’t have to enter the same data a few times or log into dif­fer­ent sys­tems. It makes buy­ing on your site more convenient.

Some mer­chants worry that this solu­tion is expen­sive or trou­ble­some, but this is def­i­nitely not the case with PayLane. Of course it takes a bit more time and effort com­pared to our ready-to-go alter­na­tive, but we aim to make it as easy as pos­si­ble. You can always count on our expert tech­ni­cal support.

Exam­ple

If an e-store inte­grates with PayLane using our API, then his cus­tomers — after check­ing out and choos­ing a pay­ment method — will see a form (on the e-store’s web­site) ask­ing for credit card data. They could also choose a pre­vi­ously used credit card (if this sounds inter­est­ing, check out our Card Data Stor­age ser­vice). After sub­mit­ting such form, they’ll receive a noti­fi­ca­tion say­ing that every­thing went well and the pur­chased goods are on the way.
