Payment gateway integrations.
Payment gateway integration connects an application to card and alternative payment processing, covering authorisation, capture, refunds, strong customer authentication and the reconciliation that follows.
Where Payment gateway integrations fits on a long engagement.
Payments are the least forgiving integration in most applications, because errors are financial and visible. A duplicate charge is a customer complaint and a refund; a failed capture is lost revenue; a reconciliation mismatch is an accounting problem that grows until someone investigates it.
Strong customer authentication under PSD2 changed European payment flows structurally. Transactions may require additional verification, which introduces an asynchronous step into what was a synchronous flow, and applications that did not design for it handle the callback poorly.
What an assigned team does with Payment gateway integrations.
Idempotency keys on every payment request are non-negotiable. A network timeout on a charge leaves the client not knowing whether it succeeded, and retrying without an idempotency key is how customers get charged twice.
Designing that in from the first integration rather than after an incident is basic rigour, and it is the standard held under outsource software development services.
What we use Payment gateway integrations for.
- Duplicate charges prevented structurally Idempotency keys, so a timeout retry cannot charge twice.
- SCA handled as an async flow Additional verification designed for rather than bolted onto a synchronous path.
- Reconciliation automated Gateway settlements matched to internal records, so mismatches surface immediately.
How Payment gateway integrations capacity is assigned.
Payment work is assigned inside application capacity, with idempotency and reconciliation treated as requirements rather than refinements.
