Integration methods and environment endpoints

Accepting online payments with Verifone can be done through multiple integration methods. This page describes what you need to know in order to decide on which integration method is best for you, where to find the essential information like URLs, and how to authenticate with our API.

Integration methods

Online payments can be processed by using our Checkout solution as a Hosted Payments Page (HPP) or an iFrame. Payment modifications can be done directly via Verifone Central, or by using eCommerce API calls. A comparison of the different integration methods can be found here:
