Apriva offers several application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow independent software vendors (ISVs) and other technology shops to integrate payments into their existing customer portals. Beyond payment transaction information, these program interfaces deliver automation and integration for on-boarding, reporting, and reconciliation—saving time, lowering costs, and reducing the risk of data errors. Utilizing a payment gateway such as Apriva, along with our diverse API options, can help integrators deliver a holistic and secure payment solution with their software.
As a quick introduction to Apriva APIs, we’d like to introduce some of our most common interfaces:
Apriva has created an XML on-boarding interface that allows our customers to automate the provisioning of their customers (e.g., individual merchants) on the Apriva gateway. The Apriva boarding interface can be accessed via a TCP/IP socket connection using TLS 1.2 security to add, modify, and delete their merchants and their point of sale (POS) devices.
Specific features of our XML onboarding include:
Apriva has developed a Reporting API that our customers can consume to get almost real-time transaction details. Beyond normal transaction details—such as Transaction ID, Transaction Amount, Transaction Timestamp, etc.—the reporting API can provide additional details such as Cardholder name, first six digits and last four digits of PAN, audit level details on failed transactions, etc. that give customers full control to display such data and load it to their own databases for analysis and reporting.
Apriva’s proprietary reconciliation process evaluates both source data and Apriva gateway data, creating a complete and formatted data set that our customers can use for reconciliation purposes. Apriva’s reconciliation process is used by many vending/bottlers to help them to reconcile the sale of goods in the machine to the amount of funds deposited.
Providing a complete payment solution—with programmatic onboarding, reporting, and reconciliation capabilities—can set your software above the competition. Apriva APIs give you connectivity, security, and the control you need over your secure payments . . . today and into the future!
