Payment Provider Protocol API

The Payment Provider Protocol is a set of definitions to help you integrate your payment processing API into the VTEX platform, including sub-acquirers, acquirers, gateways, and custom payment services.

To achieve this, you must implement a web API (REST) following the specifications described in this documentation.

To learn more about the Payment Provider Protocol, check our Help Center article.

Endpoint requirements

• Must use a standard subdomain/domain name, not an IP address.
• Must be served over HTTPS on port 443 with TLS 1.2 support.
• Must respond in less than 5 seconds when running the tests.
• Must respond in less than 20 seconds when in production.
• Must be PCI-DSS compliant or use Secure Proxy to accept branded cards like Visa, Mastercard, Amex, etc.

Testing

You can perform tests on your payment provider using our VTEX - Payment Provider Test Suite.

An extra header X-VTEX-API-Is-TestSuite = true will be sent for every test suite request, to help you easily identify it and mock any required scenarios.

For more details about testing a Payment Provider, check our Payment Provider Homologation article.
