Connect payments to the software your business already runs

Who this solution is for

• Operators running bought software

  Where a point of sale, ERP or booking system is already in place and the question is how payments attach to it.

• Teams with custom software

  Where an internal application creates the order and should also take the payment.

• Anyone estimating an integration

  Where the effort depends entirely on which of the four paths applies.

Common challenges

• Effort estimated before the path is chosen

  The same requirement is a configuration exercise or a development project depending on whether a certified connector exists.

• Reconciliation treated as an afterthought

  The integration usually gets built for the sale and not for the refund, the partial capture or the settlement posting, which is where the work actually is.

• Webhook handling left until last

  Payment state arriving asynchronously is the part teams underestimate, and it is the part that decides whether orders are ever wrong.

The RapidCents approach

Recommended capabilities

• Certified partner connectors

  Connectors for common POS, ERP and commerce platforms, with certification confirmed against your version rather than the product name.

• RapidBridge

  Connects RapidCents to software you already run without rebuilding it, which is the path when no certified connector covers your system.

• REST APIs and signed webhooks

  Endpoints for payments, refunds, customers, tokens and settlement, with HMAC-signed events your systems verify before acting on them.

• APPIE

  The interoperability layer that lets existing point-of-sale software drive RapidCents terminals.

• Semi and full integration at the lane

  Amount-only push from the register, or item-level detail where inventory-linked returns and item reporting are needed.

Implementation approach

• Path selection

  A short assessment of software, version and requirement, producing one of four routes with an honest effort estimate for each.

• Build or configure

  Connector configuration, RapidBridge setup, or an API build against the sandbox with test credentials.

• Certification and pilot

  Test cases completed for the flows you will run, then one lane or one site live before the rest.

• Reconciliation check

  Finance validates a full settlement cycle against the ledger before the pilot is extended.

What does not change

• The software you run

  Integration connects to it. Staff keep the interface they know, and the system of record stays where it is.

• Your team’s ownership of your code

  A connector or RapidBridge does not put RapidCents inside your application. Your developers keep control of what they wrote.

• Card data handling

  Whichever path you take, the card is captured on a RapidCents surface and returned as a token. The integration moves references, not credentials.

For businesses in the USA

A direct answer for a business in the USA: the workflow, the limit, and what to confirm next.

• The payment workflow

  Own the integration-path decision: documented connector, supported terminal connection, RapidBridge or a custom build. Show which U.S. Merchant circumstances justify each route. Confirm eligibility, presentment currency, settlement currency and the enabled payment methods on the USA merchant account before quoting them. An illustrative amount is an example, not a fee or a funding promise. Integrate payments does not, by itself, prove delivery or win a dispute.

• The problem and the limit

  In practice, the difference between passing an amount to a terminal and synchronizing orders, refunds or accounting records. Verify each proposed data flow. Confirm eligibility, presentment currency, settlement currency and the enabled payment methods on the USA merchant account before quoting them. An illustrative amount is an example, not a fee or a funding promise. Integrate payments does not, by itself, prove delivery or win a dispute.

• What to confirm

  The practical view covers discovery, configuration, testing and reconciliation signoff. Link to the software-integration solution for a specific existing-system assessment. Confirm eligibility, presentment currency, settlement currency and the enabled payment methods on the USA merchant account before quoting them. An illustrative amount is an example, not a fee or a funding promise. Integrate payments does not, by itself, prove delivery or win a dispute.
